    Bill and Judy were awesome host. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and the food was great! I strongly suggest you stay here if you're looking for a nice relaxing get away with out the hustle and bustle of everyday life!

    One of my favorites!

    I'm leery of giving Captain Schoonmaker's a great review because I'd love to keep this place all to myself. It is hands-down one of my favorite places to stay. I always book the Captain's Quarters and it's always perfection in every way: From the details throughout the home to the gorgeous landscape to the warm fireplaces lit everywhere to the amazing cooking and best of all, to the hospitality of Judy and Bill. If I were to build my own country home full of charm and warmth, it would be modeled after Captain Schoonmaker's!

    Excellent romantic weekend!

    A much needed respite from the City, my boyfriend and I spent the weekend at Captain Schoonmaker's. It was our first B&B experience and it - by far - exceeded expectations. It was so charming - the rustic carriage house (where our room was), the stream and waterfall on the property, antiques everywhere, fireplaces for our use, the quirks of an old home (circa 1760!), and, of course, the lovely hosts, Bill and Judy. They were so sweet, and the breakfasts were delicious! It was so fun to meet the other guests (all of whom were lovely), and the location was perfect - close to great resty's, wineries and hiking. Highly recommend; can't wait to return!

    Great fall stay

    We were given this stay as a gift and just loved it as a matter of fact we are going again this week-end. It is so serene and great location on a river. I highly recommend this place for a great get away from it all.

    A wonderful experience

    Bill and Judy were warm and welcoming hosts; the bed and breakfast is a charming getaway in a wonderful setting. My room overlooked the creek, was furnished with antiques and made me feel as though I were in a 19th century retreat. The only drawback was the other set of guests who didn't seem to know about the standard 'no noise after 11pm policy' most of us travelers abide by, but that is bad luck, no fault of the Schoonmaker B&B. Aside from that, I'd stay again!
