    I have stayed at Whistle Wood Farm for the last three years in the fall when the trees are just turning color. I look forward to crispy apples and brisk cool weather. The rooms are beautiful and very comfortable. Breakfast is delicious with fresh baked muffins, pan cakes and waffles and eggs daily collected from hens on the farm. There is always a pie and cake ready during the day for a snack. In the evenings, warm apple cider by a roaring fireplace makes a relaxing end tothe day. The room I have stayed in has a porch looking out over a field with horses - I love to sit outside and enjoy the view. I plan on continuing to visit Whistle Wood Farm every fall for a refreshing weekend. Thanks Maggie for keeping such a beautiful place.

    We stayed at Whistlewood for a few days while we brought our son to Bard College. He stayed the first night as well. We all felt at home and had a wonderful relaxing stay. A lovely place to walk around, feed the horses, watch birds, de-stress. Very enjoyable.

    A magical place.

    We looked for a relaxing stay in the Hudson valley and found the perfect spot, Whistlewood Farm in Rhinebeck. Bedding like in a 5 star Hotel and a friendly and personal service with lots of information for hiking, sightseeing and dining in the area. Maggie's outstanding breakfast (delicious muffins came right out of the oven) gave us the right foundation to enjoy the day at the river. If I would be a stressed New Yorker this would be my refuge and relaxation place.
