    April 11, 2013

    Beautiful B&B just off the Taconic. The house is exceptional in every way and the rooms are cosy and comfortable. Bill, the innkeeper, is a delight to talk to and full of wonderful stories. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful and not over the top. We will definitely be back.

    A delightful owner

    September 30, 2012

    We met the owner upon our arrival. We chatted for several minutes and he noted in passing that he held several patents. Also when my husband said he was a software developer the owner asked him if he ever used Fortran. I googled the owner's name and found out that he had been with IBM and was a leader in major computer innovations. We told him what we found and he filled us in on the details. Conversing with him was one of the high points of our stay.
