Bykenhulle House

My Girlfriend and I stayed in their Rasberry Room. The staff was very friendly and the whole stay was extremely pleasant. I would definitely go back. The only reason I didn't give dining an Outstanding rating is that we were attending a wedding and did all of our eating off site.

We were very, very, pleased with our stay. This property is beautiful, and offers great value. Spotless.

The house is charming and the host and hostess (owners) are very friendly. The breakfast was fabulous more than we could eat. Fresh fruit, blueberry pancakes, bacon, cheese cake and coffee. I would highly recommend this place, and next time would stay for more than just a day. They have a lovely sitting room on the first floor that we unfortunately did not take advantage of because of our limited stay. You will not be disappointed.

The House and grounds are beautiful and historic, and Bill, the owner, is charming, and quite the historian! Absolutely worth it...

Highly recommended. Bill, the proprietor, was a little eccentric, but offered a great experience.

The casual and gracious hosts were richly entertaining with their life stories. The beautiful grounds and house were very restful and sufficiently off the beaten path.

We were the last guests in the B&B before it closed for a while, but Florence and Bill took excellent care of us. The room was spacious and the Jacuzzi soothed all my cares away. Bill was helpful in finding local activities and he's a great storyteller. Such a wonderful place so close to NYC! I hope you reopen soon. Happy Healthy New Year Florence & Bill. Regards, Al & Loretta

Our visit to the historic Hudson Valley was made even more enjoyable because of our 3 night stay at Bykenhulle and the warm and friendly hosts/owners, Flo and Bill. We will always remember the lovely accommodations, beautiful grounds, and the wonderful hosts who REALLY cared that we enjoyed our stay. Roger and Jeannie from Denver

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bykenhulle House. The house is beautifully furnished and the grounds are stunning. The staff is welcoming and it felt like being in a home with good friends. My husband has a food allergy and the kitchen was accommodating. It was a very pleasant weekend and one we would like to do again.

The place is gorgeous: a wonderful house in a very nice property with gardens and flowers. We stayed in the Almond Suite and was really nice. In addition, the owners are adorable. Highly recommendable as a perfect getaway from the city.

The house was absolutely gorgeous inside and out. I felt like a kid looking around the house and exploring all the beautiful details. We also enjoyed walking around the garden. Our hosts were pleasant. Breakfast was ok but nothing to write home about.

I had a very nice stay on business at Bykenhulle House. A wonderful breakfast in the morning, and a great tour of the property as well. It was nice to sit in one of the downstairs living rooms in the morning to read and chat with other guests and the owners. I didn't want to go to work!

My wife and I were married here five years ago, and we stay here every year on our anniversary. We were married in the carriage house and stayed there that night. Since then, we have favored the Raspberry Suite, with its in-room jacuzzi, sitting area, bath and bedroom area. The grounds are lovely, the area has lots of wonderful food and antiques, and we never regret our choice of venue to be married. This place is good luck!

We enjoyed our stay tremendously; we were recommended to Bykenhulle by another Innkeeper and we are happy he did. The wonderful hosts just added to the experience. Thank you!

Delightful after a long day of golf in the area. The owners are charming and the surroundings from the rooms to the grounds are stunning.

We had our wedding reception here and stayed in the Almond Suite for two nights. Jackie could not have been more helpful, cheerful and professional. The grounds are all perfectly manicured and our room was both homey and luxurious. The reception went off without a hitch. Truly the best day of our lives :)

My husband and I had a warm and wonderful winter stay at the Bykenhulle House. Our hosts Bill and Florence were lovely people and Jacqueline made a delicious breakfast of apple pancakes and bacon. The house itself was absolutely gorgeous and the master bedroom with working fireplace was a dream come true. I'd like to spend every birthday there!

Bykenhulle House is a gorgeous B&B, impeccably decorated and managed by a sweet young lady named Jackie. Besides being an amazing cook, she was very helpful with suggestions for activities.

We only spent one night there and wished we could have been there much longer. The house is beautiful, the owners a delight to talk to and the room was enormous. It all made for a wonderful stay.

I had a wonderfule stay at the Bykenhulle House and look forward to returning in the spring of 2010.

Gorgeous traditional B&B in the lovely setting of the Hudson River Valley. Rooms were nice, clean and breakfast the first day was disappointing, but the second day (prepared by the Manager) was siginificantly better. We would come here again and recommend it for anyone looking for that traditional B&B experience.

We stayed in the almond room, which was a real treat with its jacuzzi. It was also very private, since it and another room are on the top floor by themselves. Breakfasts were very good, and the house was beautiful. Good location for local points of interest.

We have stayed twice and have been delighted by both the comfortable home from home ambience and the warmth of those running the B&B: one more visit & we'll definitely feel part of the family! Great rooms, super breakfasts, beautiful "public" rooms. Hope to be back again soon....

Bykenhulle offered us a beautiful experience with truly beautiful people. Bykenhulle is more than a house...it is a home where we did feel most welcome. Thank you.

Beautiful, quiet, serene, excellent service..clean, gorgeous bedroom, with fireplaces.. great outdoors, beautiful grounds and gardens.excellent host and delicious breakast..will come again..

We did a mid-week overnight at Bykenhulle. This is such a lovely property and the rooms are comfy. Breakfast was delicious and the innkeepers charming. The location makes it a great homebase to exploring the Hudson Valley. It is also a great venue for a wedding as well. The property was developed over the years to handle weddings and small corporate events with many options. We really enjoyed our short getaway. Rose Ciccone, Associate Editor, BedandBreakfast.com

Clean, quiet and comfortable room. A peaceful country retreat at a relatively reasonable price. Manager, Jackie, was very pleasant.

Your website has so many grammatical errors or mis-spelled words, I had to hold myself back from laughing. Here's one: "guests are saying about there visit at" Do you mean 'their visit'???? There are tons more. What a disgrace to the American education system!

Amazing stay, true wood burning fireplace in room. Warm, roomy, friendly, genuine. Homemade breakfast with the best coffee in NY. Don't know why you would stay anywhere else?

What an amazing place:clean, quiet, beautifully landscaped, friendly. Terrific breakfast!

I don't stay in B&B very often so I didnt know what to expect when I began my stay here. I was immediately impressed with the quality of the rooms and the quality of the breakfast served. It was a truly wonderful stay and they should be commended for it.

The owners were more than gracious. They made my wife and I feel at home. They provided us with interesting discussion as well as opening every part of their beautiful property for our perusal. The owner's daughter made us a gourmet breakfast as promised. Even though we spent only one night at the BH we felt like we knew its caretakers for years. I salute their attentiveness to detail and humaness.

Jackie, the Manager is a ball of energy. She can't do enough for you -- and makes excellent breakfasts. Beautiful grounds, very well kept. They have spaces for small weddings and other events that have been created with great taste. We plan to return!

Our first experience at a B&B was perfect! The grounds are beautiful, the rooms are more lovely than on the website. Recommend highly to everyone who wants a weekend in the country.

My husband and I love Bykenhulle house very much...after our initial stay, 19 years ago, we recommended it to family and friends. We finally got to go back just this last fall. It was unfair to expect it to be the same as it was 19 years ago..........but we loved it just the same. The inn owner is a wonderful person and he really makes you feel like family !!!!!!!!! We loved Jackie and wish her great things for herself and Bykenhulle !!

The Bykenhulle House is an historic and cozy environment. Each room is beautiful and elegant with great detail. I love that each bedroom has its own bathroom and seating area. The hosts are very accommodating, if you need any suggestions they are knowledgeable of the surrounding area. The property is a serene estate that is peaceful and aesthetically pleasing with winding walkways and gardens. Breakfast being my favorite meal is always a treat but especially with homemade raspberry scones or walnut chocolate muffins, fresh fruit parfaits, and either cinnamon waffles or baked eggs and maple sausage or smoked bacon.
