    The century-old Washington Irving Inn is located on the outskirts of the historic Village of Hunter, Greene County, New York. Built circa 1890, this charming Victorian Inn is located on scenic route 23A (also known as "The Rip Van Winkle Trail") approximately two miles from Hunter Mountain Ski Bowl in the Catskill State Park. The Inn's environment transports you back to a gentler, less harried time when people-watching was a popular pastime and front porches were "the" place to be. The Inn's distinctive architectural charm and informal atmosphere make the leisure-traveler feel at home. The Inn is suitable for romantic getaways, family outings and reunions, weddings, and group and corporate retreats.

    Good stay for skiing at Windham or Hunter, + vegan-friendly

    March 16, 2013

    I stayed a couple of nights with my girlfriend to go skiing at Windham. We were pleasantly surprised to find that they were willing to accommodate our vegan diets with almond milk-based oatmeal, fruit bowls, and even a delicious vegan chocolate cake. Service was straightforward and friendly, and the room was fine, even though the toilet could have used better flush capacity and the bathroom seemed a bit in need of updating. All in all, a nice, quiet, stay for a reasonable price.

    Beautiful and relaxing from start to finish!

    February 21, 2013

    My boyfriend and I visited Washington Irving over President's Day weekend. It's a beautiful house and very well maintained. They offer complimentary tea in the afternoons and a great breakfast in the mornings. The Inn offers a very personal experience. I strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to escape the hustle and bustle for a weekend. Also, very close (less than 5 min drive) to Hunter Mountain.

    Washington Irving Inn - Recommended

    February 20, 2013

    We had a marvelous time at the Washington Irving Inn. It is a unique B&B experience unlike many in the region. Service was outstanding and the breakfasts were delicious. Highly recommend the "Washington Irving Blend" if you are having tea in the spacious, quaintly decorated dining room.

    Attention to detail is apparent in the decor of this charming, Victorian-era Inn. Each room is furnished in authentic stule, and lovely colors. The breakfasts feature fresh fruit, croissants, and your choice of a hot entree. Deliciously prepared! We will be back.

    Loving attention to detail and impeccable taste are hallmarks of this charming, Victorian-era Inn. Each room is furnished in authentic style, with lovely colors and exquisite antique furniture pieces. The generous breakfasts feature fresh fruit, juice, croissants, a hot beverage, and your choice of a hot entree, all deliciously prepared. In addition, an afternoon tea is included for guests, offering a tasty assortment of cakes, cookies, and pastries. The dining area is especially lovely, reminiscent of a Victorian conservatory, with large windows and plants. We also enjoyed playing board games in the beautifully decorated parlor. Truly feast for all the senses--a wonderful getaway! We will be back.

    Weekend at the Washington Irving Inn

    November 29, 2012

    I had an absolutely great time at Washington Irving Inn. The service and accommodations were exceptional. I was originally booked in a smaller room, but heating was not working and the Inn Keeper, Stephanie, upgraded me to a bigger room for no additionally fee. Stephanie was more than accommodating and did everything should could to make my stay perfect. She even helped me book a last minute spa appointment. Breakfast was wonderful and made fresh each morning. The inn is also located in a great part of Hunter and is partially secluded which makes for a great relaxing weekend. I will, for sure plan, another visit to Washington Irving Inn.

    Very Nice Inn

    November 26, 2012

    We've stayed here a few times - always in the same room (separate bldg behind inn). Very quiet, beautiful scenery, nice people, good food. This time we came out for a wedding at Hunter Mt. (about 2 miles away) and we took our MinPin with us: He enjoyed everything as well. We will be back.

    Lovely, historic inn.

    October 27, 2012

    We very much enjoyed our stay at the Washington Irving Inn. Highlights were: the wonderful antique appointments and lovely plants all around, the wonderful breakfast, the beautiful setting and attentive service. We would definitely return if we are in the area again.
