5 out of 5Fantastic B&B!
November 29, 2012
Catherine & John are the perfect hosts in every way - very welcoming and accommodating to all your needs. Their house is beautiful, located just outside the center of Woodstock, surrounded by all the nature has to offer - I even saw a deer right outside their house as I drove up the driveway. The breakfasts are delicious and abundant - and served at the time you want it - not within a certain timeframe which other B&Bs do. I had a wonderful stay and highly recommend this B&B!

John and Catherine (innkeepers) were very accommodating by allowing us to bring our pets since we lost power due to hurricane Sandy. They are very friendly, helpful, and recommended the best places to visit in the area. Clean room and delicious breakfast. TOP notch and can't wait to return!!!

We were visiting from NYC for the weekend and we found this beaut off the beaten path in Woodstock. It's minutes from the heart of the town, very elegant and enchanting. Catherine and John, our hosts, were extraordinary! Very helpful, very accommodating, lovely people. I will definitely return to this place and highly recommend it to friends and family. It actually exceeds your expectations and it is worth every dollar.

The DeForest House is a gem hidden away in Woodstock. Our hosts were extremely gracious and very helpful with background information about the area and the local attractions. The rooms are very clean, very elegant, on the top floor of this lovely house. It's a Boutique B & B. It may be a bit pricey for folks traveling on a budget, but it is worth every single penny and more! Book it now and expect to be treated like royalty in the Colony of the Arts!

5 out of 5Wonderful Weekend Stay
August 07, 2012
My husband and I had a fantastic stay at Deforest Home! They are one of the few that allow one night stay and late check out. The pool and grounds are gorgeous and inviting. We walked to town for dinner and slept great in the Moroccan Room. The decor is gorgeous, the food is fresh and delicious and John and Catherine are great hosts. This is definitely the best place to stay so close to town!

We had a wonderful weekend here that was both relaxing, and energizing with extremely generous inn keepers who kept us very well fed, offered us interesting conversation, book recommendations and recommendations of things to do in the area--which all proved very fruitful. A wonderful time for my husband and I. We will be back.
4.4 out of 5Peaceful and beautiful weekend getaway
June 22, 2012
My husband and I spend a fantastic weekend in Woodstock in the DeForest house. I called the day before and I was pleased that we could get a room for just one night and we were lucky there was room. The room was very warm and friendly furnished in moroccan style with a terrace. The house is beautifully situated on forest grounds and the pool is very nice. The owners Catherine and John are great. The breakfast served outside sunday morning was amazing and they gave us suggestions where to dine and also what to see beside Woodstock. Catherine recommended a trail south of Saugerties, which took us by Hudson river and we walked it on sunday before we headed back to the city. A very good experience.
