Sit on your balcony and watch for deer or the Great Blue Heron who fishes our stream. Fall asleep in the hammock to the sounds of the stream and waterfall.
Snuggle in the Queen Canopy bed with cozy featherbed while you fall asleep to the sound of the waterfall. Step out onto your balcony and enjoy the stream and wildlife.
Our "Waterfall" Room is very bright & sunny with 2 walls of windows overlooking the Stream & seasonal waterfall.
Fall asleep to the sound of the rushing mountain trout stream from your comfortable bed in our "Water View" Room.

5 out of 5Ideal experience
May 12, 2013
If you visualize what your perfect experience would be at a Bed & Breakfast, you're likely to imagine something like a stay at Captain Schoonmakers. At the forefront of my experience in April '13 was the personal, engaging touch. Bill & Judy were welcoming, helpful with recommendations of things to do and the breakfast experience was beyond expectations. Each morning we had a communal meal (a sweet day & savory one) with really out of this world cooking and service. My fave was the sweet, crispy waffles! The mood set by Bill & Judy was warm and personal while we still felt we had just the right amount of privacy. The home is lovely, full of character and convenient to many nearby towns with loads to do. The "babbling brook" and small waterfall makes for meditative mornings and afternoon. I was thrilled at this find in Upstate New York and can't wait to go back. Bravo to Judy & Bill! Thanks, Jason
5 out of 5Our most favorite get away!
April 22, 2013
My husband and I started visiting Captain Schoonmaker's almost 8 years ago. This is truly a "home away from home" and a place I find to recharge and reset. My only wish is that we could visit more often but with two little ones, the opportunity is not all that often. This weekend was a lucky one for us. Bill and Judy are such wonderful, wonderful people and are beyond welcoming and perfect hosts. My husband being a chef and me being a foodie, we enjoy good food. Judy is an excellent chef and the presentation she delivers is nothing short of a beauty and complete satisfaction. We think a cookbook is in order! Bill has mastered coffee making and countless cups of hot joe are filled quickly. The main house and carriage house are decorated so fitting and when I brought my Mom away for a girls weekend, her reaction was "you could move right in". Each of the carriage house rooms has it's own balcony overlooking the stream and waterfall and the grounds are inviting for a picnic, nap or sipping wine.

We stayed at Captain Schoonmakers in July of 2012. The rooms were charming, immaculate and fulfilled our every requirement. The property was beautiful and included a view of the stream from our porch. Breakfast was outstanding from the frittata to the delicious bacon and fresh fruit. Coffee was delicious and plentiful. Our room was very comfortable and featured a jacuzzi tub, a/c, and a 4 poster comfy bed. My hubby and I slept very soundly listening to the hum of the stream. Judy and Bill, the proprietors, were very accommodating and recommended great restaurants, esp. the Inn At Stone Ridge and also provided valuable information on many of the areas activities that we enjoyed, particularly hiking at the Mohonk Preserve and Lake Minnewaska, which had spectacular views. The local wineries were really beautiful and served quality wines, which we really enjoyed along with a beautiful view. All in all, the vacation was an outstanding one. We will absolute;y return to this great B&B in the very near future. We truly enjoyed every aspect of the accommodations and the Hudson Valley is very beautiful as well!! S. and J. from L.I.

The 2 nights we spent at this gorgeous place felt like a 2 week vacation. The Klocks are wonderful hosts and spare no detail in making your stay as cozy as staying at your grandma's but private enough for a romantic getaway with the one you love. Loved the antiques and the chickens running around the yard! Absolutely charming!- Nick and Steph

January 17, 2012
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!
5 out of 5One of my favorites!
November 02, 2011
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!
4.4 out of 5Excellent romantic weekend!
October 26, 2011
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!
3.8 out of 5Great fall stay
October 19, 2011
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.
