    Dena and John are delightful hosts, and the Caldwell House is a gem! I wish we could have stayed longer, they made us feel welcome and went above and beyond to answer questions we had before we arrived and were thorough in providing information once we got there. In addition to being a wonderful, charming place, it exceeded our expectations as a GLBT-friendly establishment.

    Innkeeper Response
    Thank you so much for such a kind review. While we have only owned the Caldwell House for a short time, we hope that the pride we have in owning it and the determination we have to make it a success show through. As for being friendly, well all we can say is that is that we have been blessed with so many wonderful guests who make it so easy to be. We love telling the Caldwell story, our story, and hearing our guests' stories. We wish you the best this holiday season and hope we see you again soon in the New Year!

    My wife and I wanted a place to stay while doing our holiday shopping upstate. We could not have been happier with the Caldwell House! The room was great and the hosts were extremely friendly and very accomodating. The breakfast was the best I have had in years! I highly recommend.

    Historic 200 year old home. Comfortable room. Great breakfast. Very cordial innkeepers. Good recommendation for dinner in a local town. Will stay there again if we are in the area.

    Stayed up at Caldwell House for the first time this weekend with my fiance, and what a weekend it turned out to be! I got there late Fridaynight, but the new owners (John and Dena) were still at Caldwell and checked me in. I went over to the little Irish Pub that is practically on the property for a drink and some live music to finish off the night. We woke up Saturday morning for a delicious breakfast, and then we ventured out for the majority of the morning. Came back just in time to miss the huge snow storm. They ended up losing power, but there were enough flashlights there to light up the entire house, and they managed to cook some pasta since we couldn't get out for dinner. Was asleep very early on Saturday and woke up on Sunday and had another great breakfast. Not only was the snow starting to melt, but John had gone out and cleaned off our car for us early in the morning, without us knowing. All in all, it was a great weekend, and I will definitely come back. It was nice to see the old owners, Gene and Carmella, still there and to say goodbye. But I think the Caldwell House is in good hands with the new owners!

    Innkeeper Response
    Thank you for your very kind message! The snowstorm certainly added a touch to the w/e that none of us had expected! As for the service, well, we want everyone who stays with us to have a sense that they have been long time friends who have come to see us. The little things we do are what friends would do for friends! We do hope you will come see us again soon!
