    Margaret and Rick, the innkeepers, were two of the warmest, friendliest, most helpful hosts we have met in 40+ years of traveling in the US and abroad. The accommodations couldn't be nicer, and they provided ammentities I didn't even know I needed. We had the place to ourselves and enjoyed the swimming pool very much after a day of hiking. You can eat your breakfast on Adirondack chairs with a beautiful view of the Catskills. In addition, Holmestead B & B is very quiet, and you are close to the Hudson River, Saugerties, Woodstock and lots of hiking possibilities. I was blown away when Margaret called a few days before our arrival to ask very specific questions about what we wanted in the way of food. Not stopping at "Do you want milk? when the answer was yes, the follow-up was 1%? 2%? whole? Our stay was truly wonderful, and we will definitely remember this spot if we ever come back this way again..
