The Looking Glass

Welcome to our cozy, late 19th century Victorian home located in quaint, historic Rhinebeck Village. Walk to all the village has to offer: great restautants,distinctive shops,and the Dutchess County Fairgrounds. Our home has been restored with attention to detail and is a "Mirror Victorian" which means the owners reside in a separate area adjacent to the Inn. This unique feature affords privacy for the guests without compromising the guests' needs.Guest rooms feature oversized windows, lace curtains, private baths and fresh flowers. Enjoy the feeling of being in your own home at The Looking Glass, with its Butler's Pantry, sitting room and parlor, all for the guests' use. A television is available in the sitting room; relax on our breezy front porch.
