    Karen is Fabulous and the house is beautiful!

    April 08, 2011

    First of all The Pickerel Rush is beautifully appointed and a true victorian. But the most attractive feature of the facility is the on-site owner, Karen. You will never meet a more gracious host. She has redone this beautiful Victorian all by herself. Her Talents are endless. Karen decorated the whole place all by herself. Painted all by herself. Tends the grounds with minimal help from part time employees. Whatever time she has remaining in her day is then spent making improvements to her beautiful house and cooking for her guests. The tailor made curtains that were made by karen are as beautiful as her custom hats. So much talent wrapped up in a cheerful package! I am not a huge fan of Newburgh but it is worth staying with Karen and getting a taste of the Beautiful Hudson Valley. We love Karen and Pickerel Rush!!!!

    Beautiful B&B

    September 21, 2010

    This B&B was a Shangri-la!!!! Amazing accommodations...very comfortable,very clean,very enchanting.We have stayed at many B&B places around the world and this was exceptional. Our friends from Australia had told us about this one when the 6 of them stayed here last summer. They were also Raving Fans of the owner and place. The owner Karen went so far out of her way to make our visit PERFECT. The home was exquisite...filled with unique antiques. All the rooms were beautifully appointed. The home was approximately 7000 sq.ft.....with a huge front porch and back porch. The luscious grounds were kept like a botanical garden with a spectacular Inground pool. The home was located very close to shopping,restaurants and easy to get to I-84,Thruway and Taconic State Pkwy. The beautiful Hudson River was within walking distance where we dined all of the 4 nights at riverside impressive restaurants. We can't imagine anyone finding any negative issues with this Beautiful B&B and wonderful hostess,Karen DiZefalo. If they did there has to be something wrong with them. Do yourself a favor and don't miss it!

    Amazing! Couldn't ask for more

    September 21, 2010

    My trip to Pickerel Rush, although short lived (I wish I could have stayed longer) was a great time. The house is simply beautiful and very accommodating. Each room's detail was impressive. The service was excellent and Karen was always gracious and made my family feel right at home. The pool was fun for everyone and the breakfast was delicious. I plan on coming back as soon as I get a chance. As far as B&Bs go, you can't get any better than here.

    Our Family Reunion at Pickerel Rush

    September 10, 2010

    My family and I have recenlty stayed at Pickerel Rush for a mini vaca/reunion and had the most wonderful time. The 8 of us chose Karen's home for it's location and ammenities. We were looking for a place surrounded with rich history and scenery as well as great restaurants near by. With the Pickerel Rush, we found everything we were looking for and more (that's not easy when you have 8 people!)! As an interior designer, I was really impressed with the attention to detail that Karen used while decorating each of the rooms with their own love and charm. While historical in nature, they were more comfortable than I had expected knowing from previous experiences at historical Inns and B&B's that comfort is sometimes overlooked. The rooms were spotless and the the breakfast was delicious! There were great restaurants within walking distance right on the scenic Hudson River and a bit of a night life there too! Karen was a very sweet and gracious host and happily informed us of things to do in the area.... so much that we will have to come back!! At the end of each day we thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful inground pool which was like an oasis! Can't wait for our next trip back! Thank you Karen for helping to make our mini family reunion a success and for taking care of all our requests/needs!! Not many people would have had the patience and grace to put up with all of us! haha!

    perfect escape

    September 10, 2010

    Despite the fact that my trip to Pickerel Rush was planned at the last minute, Karen was exceedingly accommodating and the rooms and the service were outstanding. Karen went out of her way to make sure that I was as comfortable and cared for as possible, paying attention to all the "little details" that allowed me to feel welcome and relaxed. The home and the grounds were absolutely lovely and well-kept. It was a perfect spot for a weekend getaway!

    Magical Experience

    September 07, 2010

    When deciding to stay at a b&b, I took many factors into consideration. I am very picky about where I stay with my family. Read the good reviews about Pickerel Rush and decided to take a chance. Well, it was the best decision I made in a long while. We had the best time, the house was beautiful and very well maintained. The rooms were clean and welcoming and the host, Karen was like an old friend. My girls 6 & 2 loved the hse and especially the pool. How relaxing and refreshing it was to stay at a home where you felt like you were home. Karen was very gracious and accommodating, being with 2 little girls, that can be a tall order. The food was homemade and delicious. I would reccommend this b&b to anyone. Thank you Karen and we will see you again soon.

    Mini family reunion with all our needs met and exceeded!

    September 06, 2010

    My family and I (8 total) recently got together for a mini summer vacation at Pickerel Rush and enjoyed Karen's home, which she made us feel like was our home! Every morning, Karen made us a fabulous breakfast while giving us great ideas of what to do in the area. The area is rich in history as well as many wonderful outdoor activities to experience. The local waterfront has many great restaurants to choose from all within walking distance. Friends of ours recommended we stay at Pickerel Rush when we were beginning to plan our get together and we were NOT dissappointed in the slightest! As an interior designer, I was immediately in love with the charm and richness of the home. Each room was tastefully appointed with its own personality and beautiful antiques while remaining very comfortable and clean throughout our stay! We managed to stay during one of the hottest weeks of the summer. The B&B and it's guest rooms remained delightfully cool. The pool was a lovely oasis which we enjoyed after long days of touring. Can't wait for our next family reunion! No doubt we will definitely be staying at Pickerel Rush, it answered all of our needs which is not an easy thing to do! Thank you so much Karen!!! We will be mentioning your home to others for years to come! Best, Janine Gauzza
