The Dominion House is located approximately fifty miles north of New York City. One hour from the GWB - 15 minutes from Woodbury Common - 15 minutes from Storm King Art Center and situated in the center of the Shawangunk Wine Trail. 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.

5 out of 5Wonderful place to stay
May 08, 2013
My only regret about staying at the Dominion House was that we didn't go in summer, when we could have taken full advantage of the backyard pool. And that's on us, not Kathy and Joe who were fantastic hosts. The house itself is beautiful. Our evening began with what the proprietors call the 'nickel tour' of the parlor, dining room, billiard room, hot tub, kitchen and finally the bedrooms. I can only speak to 'Morning Glory' which was clean, spacious and well-furnished, with a large bath. Joe made a reservation for us at a nearby Italian restaurant and after a great dinner, a relaxing soak in the hot tub and a restful night's sleep, we had breakfast on the deck. Kathy's scones and rolled omelets alone were worth the drive from Connecticut to the Hudson Valley. If you're looking for a place to stay near Storm King, try the Dominion House. You won't be disappointed.
5 out of 5Great and Restful Experience
February 20, 2013
This was my first visit to a bed and breakfast location and as a result of this first time experience it will not be my last. Kathy and Joe were so hospitable and warm and made my lady and I feel so welcomed from the initial encounter until our sad departure. The food was delicious and fresh and although I am not a waffle person, actually can not recall when I last ate waffles, but the homemade waffles made by Kathy were exceptional. Our stay at the Dominion House Bed and Breakfast gets two thumbs up and if I had additional thumbs to give our stay I would emphatically give them as well. Great, great experience. Edwin and Emett

Our hosts, Kathy and Joe were the nicest people you could want to meet. My husband and I felt right at home and very much enjoyed our short stay. We felt as if we were visiting with family. Can't wait until we can spend more time at the Dominion House. Thank you Kathy and Joe. Adriana and Steve

If you want a warm and inviting place to stay with wonderful hosts and wonderful breakfasts then The Dominion House is the place for you. It is located in a nice place that is convenient to many beautiful southern NY State sights. It's the reason why we choose to stay at a B&B and it certainly doesn't disappoint. The owners are the most warm and welcoming people who want to make you feel like you have always lived there and share their home. It's a nice feeling and we left very happy.....actually we didn't want to leave!

5 out of 5Our stay at The Dominion House
October 26, 2012
Our family had a mini vacation in NY and stayed at The Dominion House. It was a first time at a Bed and Breakfast for my husband and me. This is definitely the way to go. Kathy and Joe were so pleasant and helpful. The breakfasts were amazing and the rooms clean and comfy. Kathy and Joe opened their home to us and made us feel as though we were a part of their family. It was so nice, after a day out, to come back and have a snack and something to drink in the kitchen. The truly amazing thing was how they always seemed to be around when we needed them, and then disappeared when we wanted privacy. Truly the perfects host and hostess. My husband and I will definitely return some day.

my girlfriend and i stayed at the dominion house for the weekend. we stayed in the cottage they offered. it was fully equiped with kitchen,bath and fireplace. it was a nice touch having soda,coffee and some other things already in the room. the owners kathy and joe were very nice and helpful during our stay. being we are from staten island, ny we needed help with directions and locations. kathy's breakfest was very good and there was plenty. we saw a lot of wildlife right in the backyard. there is a nice italian place to eat right down the road. not much of a night life there but that wasnt our goal. i do plan on going back soon.

We stayed in the Bungalow in The Dominion House for 2 weeks in July and enjoyed every minute. The big house, the bungalow and the property are well maintained, homey and comfortable. The bungalow felt like our own little place in the country, complete with kitchen, front porch and back deck. I loved reading on the covered porch even when it rained. The bathroom is modern with a jacuzzi tub. We played in the pool whenever the weather allowed and loved the cool, fresh water. The owners, Kathy and Joe are gracious hosts who are genuine and kind. The breakfasts at the house were wonderful, including homemade scones that melt in your mouth. We love this place and plan on returning!
5 out of 5Comfy Bed & Yummy Breakfast
July 05, 2012
My family and I were up in New York for a wedding so we needed to stay nearby. They are very nice and hospitable people, mainly Kathy as she is who I spoke to the most. Very comfortable, air conditioned room. Comfy bed and nice bathroom, which are the most important to me. Also being able to come and go as we please, having permission to use the pool table and swimming pool whenever, even at night, AND breakfast is fantastic! Kathy is a great cook! Thanks again for your hospitality and for our lovely stay. Next time we get up there for a family event we'll be staying at The Dominion House again! :)
