    My boyfriend and I recently stayed at the Dominion House for a chance to spend some quality time and Christmas shopping at the outlets together. This was my first stay at a Bed and Breakfast and I enjoyed it very much! Kathy and Joe were especially a pleasure to have as hosts! Her breakfast was fantastic! The only thing I may change the next time I look to book at a BnB is that I get my own bathroom. It was a little strange waiting for a stranger to finish brushing their teeth so you could afterward. However, i booked a room with a shared bath so i got what i paid for. I stayed in the Buttercup room which was very nice! The bed was a little creaky however. All in all we enjoyed our stay very much and would definitely return!

    wonderful people in a wonderful place!

    We arrived on a holiday evening and Kathy and Joe had their whole family over. Still they made us feel so comfortable that this was hardly an issue. The rooms are beautiful, the bed was super comfortable! We LOVED the hot tub and hung out in it every evening. The breakfast was wonderful!! Everything had been freshly baked!!! The dominion house is very close to a few parks and we went hiking every day with the maps Kathy gave us. The house has a family feel to it with young kids running around which I loved. I would strongly recommend you stay here and enjoy these lovely people and the beautiful house.

    Great hospitality

    this was our first time to try a B&B and we were most pleased with the experience. The room was very cosy and The entire atmosphere of the house was warm. We were met with great hospitality and felt more like genuine guests rather than boarders.

    OUTSTANDING!

    I am happy to review this B&B that we picked to celebrate my Birthday w/e in October. Of all the B&B's I've stayed at this was my favorite. Loved the 1880's home with original furniture. Beautiful property with deer and even coyote's! Very picturesque. The proprietors Kathy & Joe were exceptionally friendly, doting and just nice to be around if you needed anything. The candlelit breakfast's were equal to a 5 star restaurant's. The scones were to die for. They even surprised us with chocolate covered strawberry's in the room with a card to wish me a happy birthday. There is plenty to do in the area. I particularly liked the Storm King 500 acre outdoor park/museum. Coquito Spanish restaurant/bar was fun for dining and dancing on my Saturday birthday. Great place! Newburgh waterfront isn't far and great for eats and being on the Hudson River. Sugarloaf was also aninteresting town for crafts and meeting the local artists. Bear Mt is close and there are plenty of hiking trails and wineries. The Brotherhood winery is very close and the oldest winery in NYS. They have a guided tour. I have already recommended this B&B to a few members of my family. You can't go wrong! Thanks to Kathy & Joe! And by the way...Joe would make a great waiter!

    We stayed at the Dominion House in mid-August and we enjoyed many things about our stay. Kathy greeted us and gave us an interesting tour about the history of the house and was very accommodating. Breakfast was delicious--waffles with fruit, fresh muffins, and sausage. Joe was very friendly and answered any questions we had about the area and suggested places to visit. The rooms were very comfortable and the furniture was original to the house which made them even more special. We plan to return to the Dominion House for another visit this spring.
