Also, we didn't think the line/wait was bad and we went midday on a Saturday, they did a good job keeping things moving.

I'm about to expose one of my favorite places...it's no secret anymore…read more We found this place by chance and very last minute luck, and it's easily one of our favorite places we've ever stayed at. We were about to head home from a one night, last minute trip from another spot we rented- but then we stumbled upon the Warehouse. The host was incredible (she even left her family to come and bring us the key), the place was so clean and decorated so thoughtfully, and dogs are more than welcome. She also greeted us with a bottle of wine. It's absolutely perfect for the price, location (being right downtown), and comfort. I almost didn't want to write a review to expose this gem on Yelp, but It would be selfish of me not to share my fantastic experience with the world. If you want to get out of the city to relax and see the adorable little town of Saugerties, this is the place to stay.

But it was Maggie, the owner and the amazing farm that provided the most special elements of our visit. There are horses and chickens to watch and feed and friendly dogs to play with. While we were there we had the unique experience of watching a horse get his nails trimmed by a farrier. Maggie was a fantastic host, giving us great ideas for places to go and the best restaurants. She cooked breakfasts with eggs just gathered from the chickens that day, homemade muffins and pancakes. There are home made pies and snacks 24 hours a day. At night the stars were the clearest we have ever seen and sleeping was very peaceful.

I will never have words adequate enough to describe my experience at Sanctuary. I came across…read moreSanctuary when I was looking for somewhere special to spend my 30th birthday. I emailed the owner (Kerry) and we then spent an hour talking on the phone. She was warm and genuine and I felt as if I were listening to a travel essay. I was intoxicated first by the photos and then by her description and her passion. I opted not to spend my 30th at Sanctuary because I took my now Partner of 2.5 years there for our first weekend away. I had told her about Sanctuary on our earliest dates, but surprised her. When we pulled up on the snowy night she said, "Is that your church?" I was so intoxicated by the experience that I blurted out "I'm falling in love with you" when I promised myself I would let the relationship grow organically. When we arrived, the entire church was lit with candles and the fire place was roaring. Kerry met us and showed us the lay of the land. Like I said, I will never have words adequate enough to describe the experience. I can say that I do not ever remember feeling that at peace, or having stayed in such a beautiful, calming place. It was a sanctuary - it was heavenly (I am not religious). We spent the entire weekend sitting by the fire, cooking in the gourmet chefs kitchen, reading books, drinking wine, napping, taking bathes in the clawfoot tub. We left only once the entire weekend to pick up some staples. We returned the next year. We agreed we would return every year that we could. We have stayed in touch with Kerry. We hope she will never sell the place. We look at the photos, but the photos (which are intoxicating) will never do this place any justice. You must sleep and wake up with sunlight pouring through the stain glass windows. You must enjoy every detail. Kerry did not miss anything and restored the place with passion and love. Thank you, Kerry!

Check in was super easy and parking is easy right on the property. I easily sent her an email to book. The views are really gorgeous, overlooking the reservoir and Catskill mountains. Can't beat it if you go in October and catch foliage ! It's actually closer to NYC than some other places in the Valley. We stayed in the Meadow Suite which has a spacious bathroom and super comfortable bed. Anne Marie provides wine glasses and an opener. Also appreciated the space heater because some nights were chilly. I believe there is a hot tub if you rent the other suite. Anne Marie gave us some firewood to lit a fire one night, the property has a fire bowl, and pavilion where you can eat a great breakfast. We got breakfast one day - Anne Marie delivered that and coffee right outside our door. My husband had a delicious farm egg omelette with sautéed veggies and melted cheese, along with chicken sausage and toast. She prepared a crafty apple French toast for me with raisin cinnamon bread and chicken sausage. Yum yum yum. She's very accommodating, but definitely get the French toast! In Mid Oct, it was about $200 a night per stay. Definitely recommend this if in the area! We hung around Big Indian, Phonecia and did activities up in Hunter Mountain. Woodstock is also very nearby.

It was, as expected, the most relaxing and fun few days.... And was definitely needed after our big day. Anne Marie is a wonderful host, and her stuffed blueberry French toast is the stuff of legend. There are plenty of places for hiking, antiquing, tubing, eating, or anything else your heart could desire relatively nearby, and Anne Marie will provide you with recommendations that do not disappoint no matter what you want to do. We have only stayed in the reservoir suite, but I'm sure the other suites are equally amazing. I can't recommend Ashokan Dreams enough if you're looking for a relaxing stay at a charming place with unbelievable views of the mountains and reservoir right through your window. We'll be back soon.

What a gem. This was a unique peaceful getaway. We had…read morevisited as a family many years ago. The back deck is open to the public. The kids waded in the Hudson River. There was a group of lively people going in and out of the building. They offered to take our picture and they told us they were staying at the light house. STAYING!? Yes. Staying , as in sleeping in beds inside; using the facility ... SPENDING the night. Wow. I needed to find out how to do this. Later on I joined their email list... And forgot about it. Fast forward to last summer. I got an email at 9:03am from the Saugerties Lighthouse Conservancy informing me that next week- they had a cancellation and and opening for a single night's stay. That room was booked at 9:08! And my husband, the Fast n Furious franchise lover- the "I only tolerate nature walks" guy was, unbeknownst to him about to spend the night... in a light house. Begrudgingly. Drive up. Park in the small lot and walk though the fence which leads to a trail. The hike is short but time your arrival with the tide , or you may have to wade though some of the river water. The building is historic so History buffs would love it. The stairs have a pleasant creak to them. The living room has books about the area. The hall upstairs has a shelf with more books and games for Kids. No phones or televisions. Heaven. There is a room designated as a small Museum which documents the history Of the lighthouse. Our guest room was enough. We had two different window exposures, one of them looking right over the river. The bed was only a full size - a bit cramped for a big guy and his wife. But hey! I am sleeping in lighthouse sooo I don't care. There is a gracious innkeeper who lives onsite in a separated part of the house. The back deck is boat shaped and has a series of beautiful wood tables over looking the Hudson River. It was mid- afternoon and we had the place all to ourselves when we checked in. We had packed a lunch for the patio. The day was beautiful. When you sleep in a lighthouse you get a key. It gives you access to the house and the ladder which leads up to the actual light and the 360 degree views of the area. Nearing sunset, We climbed up and were able to look down at people who were on the deck. Some of them looked up at us confused as if wondering how we got up there? We had the key! It was a beautiful sunset. I stayed up In the glass enclosure until the light turned on. Since our room windows were huge and we left the shades up, I awoke at dawn and to the sound of the waves lapping outside. A few minutes later I heard voices and when I looked outside there were some fisherman passing very close to us in a small boat. So close I could have had a conversation with them from my window. The innkeeper cooked us a breakfast of French Toast with strawberries, eggs, juice and coffee. It was just all so pleasant and quaint that I didn't want it to end. We had to checkout two hours early because my husband had to get to work. Overall I loved every minute of it. I slept in a Lighthouse. I can't believe I got the chance.

When was the last time you looked up and saw a night sky full of stars glistening above? For me,…read morethose opportunities are few and far between so when it happens, it leaves an impression that I'll carry and remember fondly for a long while. My darling boyfriend surprised me with an impromptu weekend trip to the beautiful Saugerties Lighthouse Bed & Breakfast a few weeks ago. He'd been stalking their website months prior, never finding any openings, but alas, thanks to a last minute cancellation and some impeccable timing, he was able to snag a night for us at this charming BB. The lighthouse only operates as a BB on Thurs-Sunday, and it's open all year round. Reservations must be made months in advance so if you want to visit during a particular season, I suggest to start your planning two full seasons prior. The drive up was scenic and lovely. We downloaded some podcasts and had goggle maps lead the way. We chose to avoid tolls and that increased our ETA by 15 minutes but it was great, and only took about 2.5 hours to get there! The lighthouse has a shared fridge for its guests so we brought food with us for the stay, not knowing what to expect, but it turned out not to be necessary because we found some really great farmers markets along the way, and bought more food than we needed. The lighthouse also has a grill that guests can use, as well as nearby restaurant options. Make sure you bring your rain boots if you plan to go with the restaurant option for dinner, though. The tide comes in when the sun goes down so you'll have to waddle through some shallow water along the route from the lighthouse to the parking lot. It's pretty amazing to see, so also make sure to bring your flashlight, too! We also saw huge, gigantic boats glide right by our room at all hours of the day. They were incredibly close, I felt like I could almost touch them from the window. And listening to the waves crashing down as I fell asleep was truly entrancing. Breakfast was amazing, too. The inn-keeper made us the most delicious French toast, yogurt with fresh organic strawberries and fresh tapped maple syrup with fresh squeezed orange juice. The bathroom was the only feature that I would change. Don't get me wrong, it's very clean and I love the products they use; all natural shampoos, soaps and conditioners, but they use stored rain water for the sink and showers, and don't have a flush toilet... But then again, maybe that's all part of the charm. I loved every minute I spent up here with my best friend.
