The Dominion House Bed & Breakfast
The Dominion House is located approximately fifty miles north of New York City. Situated on 4.5 acres at the end of a country lane in central Orange County, the house was built in 1880 by Benjamin H. Strong, a local farmer whose family settled here in the seventeen hundreds.
The house has spacious rooms, wide plank floors, marble mantels, original furnishings, molding and ornate plaster cornices. Swimming pool, jacuzzi, slatetop pool table, and library are available for your pleasure and relaxation. Large deck and wrap-around porch are perfect for afternoon tea or summer breakfast. In colder months, relax in our large parlor or by the fire in our oak panel den.
Three large rooms and private cottage are available and a full country breakfast is served.
