Inn Details
Built in 1894 for the National Guard, the Phemister family converted this unique 50 room armory into their private residence. Featured on HGTV's Rezoned show, the castle has 50 rooms and covers 36,000 sq ft. Near Saratoga and Cooperstown in the scenic Mohawk Valley. The friendly vibe and historic presence make Amsterdam Castle a treat for families and couples alike. Shoot hoops in the gym, lounge on the front moat with your computer, walk to dinner or borrow our bikes for the Eric Canal bike trail. We use only environmentally friendly cleaning supplies and serve local farm produce whenever possible for a sustainable environment.

The castle was outstanding. Our accommodations were very clean and nicely appointed. Susan and Manfred could not have been any nicer or accommodating. They are both very knowledgeable about the town, it's history and the surrounding area. They went above and beyond expectations, even during very stressful circumstances. A tornado had touched down followed by a very bad thunderstorm which knocked out the power and they did everything they could to make us comfortable and safe. They also have a very nice family which made us feel very welcome. Thank you Susan and Manfred for a very nice and interesting stay.

The castle was very nice. The room we stayed in was The Officers Qtrs. Upon arrival we were met by Susan, she gave us a tour and offered their garage to park our motorcycle. The bed was comfortable and there was coffee maker, though there were no filters. The room was clean and the furnishings were nice. Susan recommended a nice restaurant down the street for supper. Be advised they only serve a continental breakfast and that was not up to par. The Inn keepers were not easily available. There was a situation that arose after we arrived, the town announced that the water would be shut off at 7:30am so Susan made us aware and offered a partial refund.
Thanks for sharing a unique historical site with travelers.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The accomodations were wonderful and host Manfred was most congenial. It was very interesting to learn about local armories which played pivotal roles in the formation of militias and national guards. The Schroeders

Susan and Manfred were amazing hosts greeting us as we pulled in, assisting with carrying our bags to the room and giving us a tour of the castle. The room was absolutely beautiful and extremely cozy and breakfast was delicious. My girlfriend and I still talk about the heated bed and how comfortable it was. We truly felt like a king and queen. I would definitely stay at the castle again. Highly recommended.
