The Stone House Bed and Breakfast

I surprised my girlfriend by proposing to her at the Stone house bed and breakfast this weekend. I had never been to the area and looked online to find a bed and breakfast. I like the Stone house and contacted them by email. They were amazing to deal with and helped me set up the scenario I had dreamt of to propose. Their suggestions for activities in the area led to a perfect weekend for me. Room was amazing, house was peaceful, owners were nice but not intrusive, and breakfast was incredible. Reccomending this house and this area to everyone I know.

My boyfriend and I recently spent a long weekend at The Stone House Bed and Breakfast. Their house was so comfortable it was hard to leave in the mornings! The breakfast was incredibly delicious and we suggested numerous times that they start cooking classes and sharing their wonderful kitchen talents with their guests. We have stayed in many Bed & Breakfasts in the Hudson Valley and this is by far our favorite. You cannot beat the old world charm of this place.

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Stone House this past November and we had a wonderful time. Nadia and Sam are lovely hosts. They are helpful but not intrusive. Breakfast was wonderful, especially Sam's homemade waffles and granola. You can tell Sam and Nadia take a lot of pride in maintaining their historic home and providing delicious food for their guests. We were lucky enough to make friends with several other couples who stayed that same weekend. Great food, great hosts, great company. What more could we have asked for?!

For anyone interested in experiencing the history of early America first-hand, The Stone House is a must. With the original, centuries-old hearth and the beautiful, wide-set floorboards, it was the perfect blend of a cozy farmhouse and modern amenities. The innkeepers, Sam and Nadia, clearly value their property and business, and it shows in the treatment of their guests. My boyfriend and I only had time to stay one night, but could have easily posted-up for days on end. Thank you Sam and Nadia, for giving us a refreshing escape from New York City!

Originally, my husband and I planned to go to Mohonk Mountain House, but with their two night minimum stay requirement over the Christmas break, it was too expensive (over $1100). Since we just wanted to get away from the city for a couple of days and walk around the scenic mountain area, we found the Stone House B&B through an online search which is relatively close to Mohonk and much more affordable (two nights came out to about $430 something with tax). We chose the Geographer room because of the whirlpool bathtub, which was very relaxing after a chilly walk around beautiful Lake Minnewaska. Minnewaska State Park is adjacent to the Mohonk Preserve and is only $8 to get in. (Owner, Sam, recommended it.) It took us about 30 minutes to drive there from the B&B. Breakfast at the B&B was delicious and so filling we ate only a light snack for lunch and for dinner drove into neighboring Kingston (about 10 minutes drive) for a scrumptious meal at a French restaurant recommended by the B&B owners. The house itself has many interesting features and artifacts that we were fortunate to learn about from the owners and the staff. Overall, our trip fulfilled everything we were looking for--a relaxing mountain getaway-- at a much better price than if we followed our original plan.

Just what my wife and I needed. Rest, relaxation and lots of scenery. Going to see the house and presidential library of Franklin D. Roosevelt was a great opportunity to learn about our nation's history. We highly recommend !

Spent one night and was very happy. Beautiful quiet B&B, kind hosts!

Sam couldn't have been nicer--comfortable bed, great shower, delicious breakfast. Nice and varied places to dine nearby.

Went for a last minute weekend trip to the Hudson Valley, and requested a one night stay for two. Nadia responded within an hour of my request, and made arrangements. Arrived to a brief tour of the B and B and its history. It was a lovely stay. Breakfast was wonderful, and communal with the other guests. Would absolutely stay again if I am in the region!!

Our room was simple and elegant. The bed was very comfortable, bath products high quality, widest floor boards I've ever seen, very helpful hosts.

This location was great, but I do wish the owners had been there during our stay, and we felt like the food could have been better.

We’re glad that you enjoyed the location and found that the rooms and cleanliness exceeded your expectations. For the first time in three years, we remained open for two weekends while we were away, a process that required careful planning. On returning, we were pleased to see an online review on another site that praised our staff for doing a great job. It is rare for us both to be away at the same time whilst the bed and breakfast remains open; we hope that guests understand that, very occasionally, this might be necessary. We thank you for your feedback, and will use your comments to strive to further improve our services to all our guests.

My husband and I loved our stay at the Stone House. Our room was beautiful and immaculate, the breakfasts were outstanding and Sam and Nadia were perfect hosts: offering a tour on arrival and restaurant and sight-seeing recommendations when we asked for them, and letting us have the time to ourselves that we craved. The countryside is beautiful and there are lots of interesting small towns within a short distance as well.

After 1 week in crazy NY, what a great tim ein this small, beautiful old ducth house in the catskills. Just nearby main places of interest, we had a peacefull night in the "girl of the pearl" room, with beuatiful furnitures, fantastic king size bed, smooth whirlpool and wonderful breakfast ... Only one bad point : we could stay one night only !! Remy and Flora , french tourists

We stayed at the Stone House for 2 nights in early November 2011. The stay exceeded all expectations, and not only were we impressed with the property and the value, we got married right in the B&B and the hosts Nadia and Sam were so kind to be the witnesses on our marriage certificate! We noticed and appreciated very much the following: 1. The B&B is run with a great taste that is subtle and understated. Our room was meticulously restored in old Dutch tradition with exposed beams, wooden floors true to the period, window treatments, old-style flat fireplace with iron tools, etc. You feel authenticity in every detail. 2. Yet, the space is spotlessly clean and feels expensive - the owners offer Frette linens, Aveda products in the bathroom, great quality Dutch dinner set, etc. 3. We loved our breakfasts. On both days we had home-baked bread, home made desserts, and very hearty main course (yeast waffles one morning, and goat cheese frittata on the other morning). Home made granola was also on the table, so there is enough food for those who don't eat eggs. We stayed in the newly added Great Room, and we were happy with this choice - the room has its own driveway and entry. Thanks Nadia and Sam, we will definitely be back to share the memories of our wedding!

We stayed here in late October/early November and while it was quite chilly outside, the accommodations were cozy and comfortable. View out the window in our room was spectacular, Sam and Nadia are really awesome, and the food was to die for! Not to mention the decor, the atmosphere, it was all clean and spare looking while remaining exceedingly warm and inviting.

The house is truly beautiful and one of a kind. The couple that run the B&B are amazingly kind and wonderful hosts, never intrusive and always thinking of ways to help you make the most of your time there. Breakfast was glorious, it can get a bit much so take care not to over eat (unless you plan on spending the rest of the day back in bed). I would go back in a second if I had the chance!

We enjoy it very much to select this house for overnight. A very personal & familar atmosphere. A wonderful breakfast offer and nice to meat the other guests for a smalltalk during breakfast time. At any time we can recommend a stay in this wonderful historic inn

This is a lovely house to stay in. It was very unique and they served wonderful delicious breakfast...one day was chocolate chip french toast with toasted walnuts! The B&B is only 20 minutes from Minnewaska state park and New Paltz.

My husband and I had a great time. Very beautiful and charming place. It was exactly the mini-retreat we were looking for. The couple who own the B&B were very informed to the history of the house and the area, which made more a more enriching experience. The food was great, too.

A gem in paradise - the breakfast was divine and you can't beat Frette sheets.

My girlfriend and I stayed at the Hurley Stone House in 2009 to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. I had one of the most romantic and relaxing weekends of recent years. Sam and Nadia are wonderful hosts. They are warm, but leave you with a great deal of privacy and space. The house is amazing. There’s a lot of history there (and Sam will talk to you about it if you like). The room (The Lacemaker) was clean, cozy, and quite beautiful. I look forward to visiting again this Fall.

Just wanted to say how much we enjoyed our stay at your lovely Dutch house last week. The charming and comfortable room, scrumptious food, and good conversation made for a very pleasant time. We hope to come back some day.

This is a beautiful B&B situated in some stunning surroundings. The rooms are wonderful - with remarkable historic features throughout the house. The breakfasts are also a real treat!

Beautiful and peaceful b and b. Loved the history on display!!

I love this bed and breakfast; my room was very comfortable and the house is in a beautiful and peaceful setting. Love the clawfoot tub in the lacemaker room! On the down side, I do think the rooms are a bit over priced. When paying these prices for rooms, I expect certain details to be met such as a clean porch and clean windows. I would also expect homemade cookies vs store bought.

We do acknowledge that we aren’t looking our best outdoors at this time. In the last weeks, tropical storm Irene has been followed by further unprecedented stormy weather and we are still trying to return to normal. We have called the window cleaning company, and as a result of this review have invested in a new pressure washer. We have recently employed extra help in the kitchen, someone who is a baker by trade. He is very happy to have been asked to make cookies every week! We are glad we broadly met your expectations; however we do strive to go beyond expectations whenever we can. Thank you for the feedback. We take genuine pleasure in meeting the needs and preferences of our guests, and welcome all comments.

- Nadia and Sam Scoggins (innkeeper)

The Stone House was a delightful stay with a rich history. Each room is named after a Vermeer painting. All the rooms are warm and full of character. Can't really go wrong with any of them. Sam the owner is super kind and goes the extra mile to ensure that your stay is comfortable and enjoyable. The creek behind the house is relaxing and a wonderful way to set the tone of your stay. Overall a very relaxing place. Would recommend it to friends and definitely plan on staying there the next time I visit the Hudson River Valley.

the place was immaculate. well appointed, but where's the breakfast at this B&B? one slice of french toast? owners very friendly and leave you alone (which is what we wanted :) lovely grounds with creek. would go back but go out for breakfast down the street.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you for your feedback. We recognise that our guests have different ideas about what they would like for breakfast, and always ask in advance if anyone has any special dietary needs. We always start with homemade granola, and homemade bread and jam, and after the main course, usually end with a lighter fruit course. Our French toast is either homemade chocolate walnut butter bread, or cranberry orange butter bread, or raisin apple cinnamon butter bread, and is served with locally made maple syrup. We used to serve two slices, but most people said this was too rich, so we went to one slice. As a result of this review we are currently serving one and a half slices! We welcome your comments as we try and strike a happy balance. It is important to us that all our guests have an enjoyable experience when they stay at The Stone House.

- Nadia and Sam Scoggins (innkeeper)

Old Stone House is just as lovely as the on-line photos. Our room, with fresh flowers, and bathroom were nicely decorated and well appointed. Everything looked fresh and clean. The hosts were gracious, sharing information about the history of the house - welcoming but not intrusive. Breakfast was delicious. Often, B&Bs are dark, over decorated and fussy - Old Stone House was light filled and beautifully done. We hope to return.

Beautiful rooms, great hosts, delicious breakfast and extremely accommodating!

Just what we imagined; a comfortable and relaxing getaway for my birthday. The accommodations were lovely and the innkeepers were warm and engaging. Definitely would return!

The Stone House was very nice and we liked the owners very much.

Nestled by a babbling creek, this beautifully restored 18th century home has luxurious accommodations and very nicely appointed baths. We had special dietary needs which were deliciously satisfied. The owners were charming and helpful. It made for a perfect weekend with so many wonderful things to do in the area that we will definitely return.

My husband and I just returned home after a peaceful five night stay. We are suffering withdrawals from the beauty and comfort of the b and b. But the lovely gardens and grounds, absolutely delicious breakfasts (including to die for homemade breads---even gluten free---the best I've ever had!) all pale in comparison to the gentle and generous Sam and Nadia. We enjoyed every conversation, every lesson in history, restoration, sights to see and general whatever. We hope to be back again---maybe in another season---and for more interesting conversation!

the rooms are meticulously appointed to the time period of the home. sam, the owner, is quite helpful and friendly to converse with. breakfast was delicious

This place has old world charm without sacrificing modern convenience. Its hard to believe that the building is three hundred years old. Sam Scoggins is a charming and knowledgeable host who helped us with dining and touring tips.

I spent an evening in Spring 2011 at the Stone House B & B. It was elegant, tasteful, cheerful perfectly clean and bright. They had a wonderful garden, a lovely property and a delicious breakfast. They even returned my good earrings that were left on the bedside table. My best bed and breakfast experience yet!

wow... quiet place, extremely accomodate owners, very cheerfuls and takes time to talk to you. Nice old house. lots of history, place is very clean and good breakfast prepared by the owners. will definitively will be back again. Journalists from Montreal newspaper (La Presse) even goes there. Nice small town, nice surroundings area... definitively worth to stay there!!! the house also have a lots of history, and the owners takes time to have a personal visit of the house with you, if you want ( huge place!) internet is free and there is also a phone...we really feels like we are a part of the family. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wow, place tres tranquille, propriétaires tres accomodanst et gentils, internet disponible gratuitement sur place, telephone et les proprios prennent souvent de temps de parler avec les gens. On se sent vraiment bien et comme si on fait parti de la famille... Tres belle maison qui possede beaucoup d' histoire, tres propre, et les dejeuners sont delicieux (préparés par les propriétaires) Nous allons surement y retourner bientôt. Même les journalistes de Montreal (La Presse) s' y arrêtent parfois. un petit village tranquille, tres beaux endroits a visiter, ca vaut définitivement le detour!! La maison historique est remplie d' histoire et les propriétaires prennent le temps de vous faire une visite personnalisée des lieux. Internet et gratuit et il y a meme un telephone de disponible ;-) vaut vraiment le detour....

My girlfriend and I came for a romantic mid-week getaway and we were extremely pleased with our experience. The house is beautifully restored yet has a tasteful amount of modern convenience. Breakfast was tasty and natural. The owners had great ideas for hiking around the area. In truth, my whole plan was to ask my girlfriend to marry me and Nadia and Sam helped immensely with flowers and restaurant recommendations. She said yes and their help and their beautiful home made it an experience we will never forget. I'm sure we'll be back for an anniversary!

This place was super clean and no TV was a real treat. Highly recommended. Breakfast was amazing.

Highly recommended if you're looking for a B &B up in the Catskills area. Sam and Nadia are excellent hosts, and the breakfast was amazing!

Really lovely hosts, beautiful house - close to fantastic trails and Kingston/Rhinebeck. Breakfast was great - really nice setup at the table, we met some fantastic people. The house itself is amazing and will likely get better as they continue tweaking while remaining sensitive to the historic structure.

Drove from Newark to Red Hook for dinner, let Sam know we would be late from flight delays. We were greeted, shown our room and surroundings. Slept warmly and woke up to a fantastic breakfast with delightful company. Perfect birthday gift.

Warm & relaxed but also...like spending a weekend in a pre-revolutionary war museum. Thrilling. Sam & Nadia are lovely!

My husband and I visited this beautiful historic B&B with our 1 year old and we had an exceptional time. If you love historical architecture, this is a great opportunity to stay in one of the oldest homes in New York. Nearby Hurley is a treasure trove of colonial Dutch stone buildings. The inn keepers were friendly and welcoming and the breakfast (orange custard and pecan waffles!) was scrumptious.

We had a lovely stay at the Stone House Bed and Breakfast in Hurley this week. We stayed in the Lacemaker room and it was beautiful. The bed was comfortable and the claw foot bathtub delicious. My only regret was that it was too short. Sam was lovely, full of information and recommendations as well as a great breakfast chef. We hope to return in the future for a longer stay.

We experienced a one night stay at The Stone House B&B in March of 2011. When we arrived we were greeted by Nadia who welcomed us and escorted us to our room. She had a very friendly and well mannered character. She offered us a brief tour and history of the House. We gladly accepted, and off we were learning about the restoration challenges and actual history of the House. We were intrigued by the details, architecture, and building methods of the time the House was built. Original fireplaces, pots, floor boards (12" wide), ceiling joists, 15"+ thick stone and cement walls, single pane glass windows, and even bathtubs truly made this place feel like you were living in the past. The room we settled in, was "The Lacemaker". We could not stop looking around, wide eyed and mouths open, and whispering..."Babe! Look at this!", "Hun, Check this out!” The place was beautiful, very well maintained, wonderfully restored, and extremely clean. Nine AM breakfast was a very unexpected experience. The food (emphasis on the bread and coffee) was so good, we couldn't stop eating. It tasted and felt so home cooked and right off the land. The company we had at the table (guests) made an unforgettable impression on us. We laughed and laughed, and told stories for an hour and a half. The room we were in contributed greatly to our moods and set the stage for a relaxed and friendly time at the table. Sam, who attended the table was such a well mannered and sophisticated gentleman, who just like Nadia, made the whole place and experience feel personal and one of a kind. We could not stop thinking about our experiences at The Stone House Bed and Breakfast. We felt so grateful for people like Nadia and Sam who take on challenges to preserve the past and provide our generation an unsurpassed place to stay. A place that that outlives and exceeds, service, locale, price, quality, and feel of any mainstream hotel out there. Yes, we’re are going back for more.

We had a great time! I guess I have pretty high expectations for a clean, comfy B&B and the Stone House B&B definitely met my expectations.

My boyfriend and I stayed here overnight over Valentine's Day weekend. Nadia and Sam were welcoming and informative. They took time to give us a tour of their b&b which they had lovingly renovated, and told us much about the history of the house. They also went out of their way to tell us about all the sights and sounds we could take in within the surrounding areas. The actual home itself is like a museum converted into a b&b. It is full of history and charm. Nadia also cooked a great breakfast the next morning. I would recommend this b&b to others.

Wonderful stay. Friendly and welcoming. Refined, well appointed rooms. They did a great job with the renovation. Seemed to have kept the best of the old. Photos on their website actually don't do it full justice. Unexpected delicious breakfast. No complaints. Stayed one night, but wish we could have stayed longer!

My partner and I spent two nights over the New Year holidays in this beautuful B&B and I must say that this is a very, very special place. Beautiful house and nature around it, lovely and extremly clean rooms, outstanding service, and helpfull, friendly and welcoming hosts Nadia and Sam. Not only that they replied immediatley to my emails, sent me details of restaurants in Kingston and Woodstock, arranged flowers for my partner to be waiting in our room but they also prepared for us wonderful and different breakfest every morining with home baked bread! We will go back to Stone House very soon and I would highly recommend this place.

If your looking for something different, something quaint, and your curious enough to discover the benefits of staying within a beautiful bed & breakfast, then The Stone House is for you. The history of this 18th century Dutch built home, narrated by it's innkeepers Nadia & Sam, shed light on a time past that you will appreciate greatly. Our breakfast was amazing, something you would find in a 5 star restaurant. Thanks again Nadia & Sam! (C&E/PJ/NY)

We would stay here again - I am always happy when I have beautiful surroundings and helpful/friendly innkeepers. The Stone House has a wonderful ambiance, understated elegance, very refined with Vermier paintings. We like a very comfortable bed which this had and luxurious bedding. We were here Fall of 2009. Thank you to the Stone House Innkeepers. Ed and Emily Crowley

We stayed at The Stone House on two separate occasions in October 2010. Sam and Nadia were the perfect hosts and work very hard to ensure that your stay in their unique, restored bed & breakfast is all that you could wish for. Their attention to the small details place them a cut above many similar establishments. We hope to return soon and highly recommend The Stone House to other travelers to the area.

We had never been to either Kingston or Hurley. Thoroughly enjoyed our two-night stay here. Great room, The Geographer. Would have liked to have seen a few more rooms, but they were occupied. Good suggestions for dinner in Kingston which is only 12 minutes away. We loved The Elephant Wine & Tapas Bar for dinner! Very quiet street and very elegant breakfasts each day!

Let me start by saying that we are not typical b&b people--we like hotels for the generally consistant amenities and privacy that they afford. But we decided to try this as it seemed appropriate for the purpose of the trip--a leaf peeping getaway from the city. The room was great--really clean and good sized--and the bathroom was very nice. They have good linens and bathroom products and lighting. The house is really charming and you can feel the love put into the restoration of the home. The owners are great--they give you information without making you feel like you have to sit there and listen to them go on and on (we were worried about this as we didn't want to be captive by bored b&b owners). They were also so nice and honest--having given us a discount that we'd never have known about (a midweek reduction not on thier website). The breakfast was good--nothing fancy but totally adequate and healthy ingredients. I'd certainly recommend this place for those who want to stay in an old home that is lovingly restored and maintained.

Stayed in the "Geographer" room for two nights in August and had a wonderful time. House was beautiful and very tastefully appointed, none of the clutter and bric a brac you see at a lot of other B&Bs (nary a doily in sight!) Owners were really personable and gave great advice on local dining and recreation options. Lots of interesting books and info about the area and its history, plus maps to borrow for day tours. Beautiful setting, be sure to take a stroll down to the creek. Breakfast was delicious; home made black currant preserves were to die for!

Nadia and Sam were the perfect hosts, and very accommodating. The breakfast was superb- everything homemade and truly delicious. The house is beautiful and the bed was great- very comfortable and clean. I will definitely stay there again and again!

Nadia and Sam outdo themselves at this superior B&B, dating from the 1600s, and graciously restored by the two. The Stone House has so many things to offer: impeccable rooms with beautiful linens and furniture; state-of-the-art, modern bathrooms in each room; multiple-course gourmet breakfasts, a lovely, comfy common room, numerous pamphlets on local excursions, peace. Mornings would find us lingering at the common room table, visiting with the other guests. Nadia and Sam are always available for questions or needs. The Stone House is close to perfection, a very special place, indeed.

The rooms are gorgeous and clean, with the most comfortable beds. The grounds and stream are beautiful and peaceful. And Sam and Nadia are both wonderful hosts!

We stayed at the Stone House for my husband birthday and loved it! Our room, 'The Girl with The Pearl Earring' had the old world charm with modern amenities. The location was perfect to visit the nearby towns; we had breakfast, on our way up in New Paltz and dinner in Woodstock. The setting was quiet and relaxing and the hosts were warm and generous. We loved the personal touches of fresh flowers in our room and a birthday candle his morning muffin. We definitely recommend this B & B!

My husband and I stayed here on a little mini-honeymoon right after our wedding and it perfect - quiet, romantic, relaxing. The view in the fall was spectacular. Breakfast was delicious - one morning they served buttermilk pancakes with maple syrup from the tree in the front yard - it doesn't get more local than that!

My wife and I needed a quiet getaway and Stone House allowed us to do that. Clean, quiet, historic, beautifully-located and great hosts Sam & Nadia were acoomodating. I will come back and recommend to others.

Wonderful! Spacious immaculate accommodations in a historic beautifully restored stone house. Spectacular view from our Lacemaker Room. Peaceful and quiet. The perfect getaway for our 25th anniversary. Delicious breakfast especially the french toast with maple syrup tapped from their own maple trees on the grounds. (You have to tap 50 gallons worth to make just one gallon of maple syrup!) Nadia and Sam are accommodating hosts, warm and friendly. Would return in a heartbeat!

Nadia and Sam are wonderful interesting people, their property is beautiful in any season, and their cooking is beyond compare. Not to mention that their house could be a museum piece...really, its the best place to stay in the area.

My husband took me to The Stone House Bed and Breakfast for my birthday. It was a wonderful weekend. Perfect in every way.

I loved the ambiance of this old Stone House with its understated elegant decor. The Inn Keepers were always ready to help in any way they could. Our kingsize bed was very comfortable with luxurious bedding. We stayed in the Art of Painting room. We would stay here again. Ed and Emily

Excellent location - close to Woodstock, the Shagwangunks, Mohonk Preserve, Rhinebeck, etc. It’s a short drive to some wonderful local restaurants, such as The Egg's Nest in High Falls. Sam and Nadia were wonderful hosts; friendly, informative and helpful. Breakfast was ample and well prepared. Service was outstanding. Nadia gave us an interesting tour of the house and explained its history. The outdoor temperature was a bit cooler than normal at this time of year, and Sam made sure we were all nice and toasty. The room was comfortable and clean. I found it refreshing that there were no TVs. We would love to visit this B & B again.

Beautifully appointed and very newly renovated old stone home b and b in location central to area attractions. Great hiking trails nearby for all levels. Area has particularly wonderful foliage in autumn. Exceedingly serene surroundings and relaxed atmosphere. Lovely creek out back. Knowledgeable, friendly and considerate hosts. Sinfully scrumptious breakfast. Within a 2 hour drive from NYC!

The ads for Hurley Stone House are all true but not enthusiastic enough. I stayed with 2 friends (3 rooms) and we had comfort and delight, a warm atmosphere, great breakfasts and friendly hospitality.

I have stayed at other very nice inns in the area but this one is the best. Quiet, comfortable rooms, modern bathrooms. Unpretentious. Great food. The dining room table is small though so pray for good company. I will go back. Good for all seasons.

If you want to step into another century, this place is for you. Built in the 1600's, the owners have renovated this place beautifully. Breakfast is awesome!

A very beautiful & interesting historical stone house & 3-course breakfast. The B&B owners are very friendly folks. A nice place to stay.

We spent one night here last week. The owner Sam, showed us all the rooms (we were the only guests that night) and we decided on the Lacemaker. The room and bed were very comfortable and everything was spotless. The bathroom was spacious with separate claw foot tub and shower. Unfortunately, the bathroom floor "squeaked" with every step and there was also no bathmat provided. These were minor complaints and we brought them to Sam's attention. Breakfast was huge (3 courses) and very delicious. Sam had no problem in serving us almost an hour earlier than normal. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

My husband and I stayed at this B&B. The house is 300 years old and has a great deal of history. The rooms were very nice and breakfast was fantastic. The jacuzzi tub in the bathroom was a nice feature. Innkeepers were very nice. Hurley is just 15 minutes away from Woodstock. The B&B is new and still being renovated. As a result of the inn being very old, there were a few bugs (nothing major) and the rooms were very warm in the 70/80 degree weather with no fan or air conditioning. Some key features need to be added - tissues, hair dryer, some additional bathroom products. There was also no TV and no cell phone reception if that is important to you, however, there was wireless internet. Drinks and snacks were not readily available as we are accustomed to this at a B&B. All in all a very nice stay - some simple improvements could have made our stay a bit more pleasurable.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Unfortunately, our guests were woken by bugs that got into the fire alarm, causing a single beep every few minutes….Fortunately, we were able to upgrade them to another room. The fly screen had been a design headache due to the nature of our building, but this is now solved. Individually controlled air conditioning is installed in three rooms and will soon be installed in a fourth. Thanks to these constructive comments, we now have tissues, a selection of fans and a hairdryer for each room, and a guest refrigerator in the breakfast room. We try and avoid using bathroom products in small plastic containers, but we also now have hair conditioner as well as the shampoo, soap, and bath/shower gel we provided before. We have always provided bottled spring water and usually home made cookies, but will now provide additional fruit and additional coffee/tea. We have had many favourable comments at the lack of TVs/the peaceful atmosphere here. Although the restoration of this historic building is continuing, it isn’t seen or heard by guests in the finished rooms/common areas unless they request a tour. We take genuine pleasure in meeting the needs and preferences of our guests, and welcome all comments.

- Nadia and Sam Scoggins (innkeeper)

This B & B is 5 minutes off the NY State Thruway but a world away. It is so easy to access New Paltz, High Falls, Woodstock, Rhinebeck; t is very centrally located.The owners are the best hosts, friendly, but couples that stay also have a sense of privacy. The house is 1 of the oldest in New York; we felt like we flew overseas staying here. Breakfast is divine and we can't wait to return
