It’s no secret that 2020 was a challenging year. We know so many have been unable to travel to the Hudson Valley due to restrictions. If you have been able to come our way or already planned out your future trip, we thank you! We are looking forward to the new year and truly hope that all from near and far will be able to safely travel and experience the beauty of the Hudson Valley with a stay at our bed and breakfast. If you are looking for a bit of an adventure to kick off the New Year on a high note, then be sure to enjoy some winter hiking in Upstate New York. There are plenty of trails near our historic B&B.
