Although it's been nearly a year since our visit, it was a focal point of our romantic birthday weekend in the Catskills that also included stops at their sister properties (Neversink for the spa, Arnold House for the stay). The drinks were exceptional but the ambiance of the fireplace might have been even more intoxicating. Culinary director Eric Leveillee previously worked under James Beard winner Greg Vernick (Vernick Food and Drink/Vernick Fish, Philly) and the restaurant itself was a 2024 James Beard semi-finalist for Outstanding Restaurant, nationally. At just over $200 per person for the tasting menu, we added the wine pairing as well and felt like the combination of service and quality was well worth it. Each course came with a passionate description behind the inspiration and sustainability of their farm-to-table take on fine dining. Opening with a stunning arrangement of golden beets, Mandarin supremes and marigold petals and progressing to dishes with mussel caramel, coal baked pears, parsnips, sweetbreads and persimmon ice cream, they had our taste buds guessing and pleasantly surprised by each course.

The hotel itself is cozy, full of charming little spaces, and we truly felt pampered throughout our stay. It's pet-friendly (huge plus!), and everyone was incredibly kind to my dog--he had the best time exploring the hiking trails with me. The vibe is very relaxed, peaceful, and the perfect place to disconnect from the world. Now for the real star of the show: the food. We did the tasting menu and it was so good. I loved the intention behind each dish and how they highlighted seasonal ingredients and the local farm sources. My personal favorites were the mushroom dish and the venison--both were phenomenal. The staff was warm, attentive, and did a great job walking us through each course. A few small observations: The dining room was a little too dark--I love seeing my food, especially when it's so beautifully presented. Since it was my birthday, I expected a bit more than a lone candle. No cookie, treat, or even a candle placed on top of dessert--it just didn't feel special. Dessert wasn't for me. It was somewhere between a milkshake and ice cream, but with a strange mochi-like texture and an overpowering amount of lavender. It felt like eating soap. The quail course tasted amazing, but the presentation wasn't appealing. It looked a bit messy, and leaving the head on (even though it wasn't edible) felt off. That said, everything was incredible--thoughtfully crafted, delicious, and visually stunning. I thoroughly enjoyed every bite and the whole experience. Highly recommend--can't wait to return!

My bf booked a night for us here after receiving a targeted Instagram ad. He's an absolute sucker…read morefor targeted ads, and I must congratulate Farmhouse Catskills on their marketing prowess; however, the marketing strategy gives you a pretty good idea of what you can expect. This place is definitely instagrammable... but unfortunately not much more than that (at least for now). Pros: They've done a seriously beautiful job on the decor- lots of grays and moody dark blues, mid-century furnishings, and prolific use of some of the best artificial tropical plants I've ever seen. All of it is as pretty in person as it is in those Instagram ads. When you walk in, there's ambient music that matches the vibe perfectly. We didn't take a dip in the pool because it was kind of chilly, but I thought it was neat that there was a poolside DJ. It's also worth mentioning that this place is clearly very dog friendly, and as a dog-lover-but-not-owner I was happy to be able to pet so many pups on the property. And there's a decent pool table, yay! Cons: It's pretty clear that this place was sort of hastily opened in an attempt to pull in some cash before the end of the summer, without being adequately prepared and staffed. (It kind of reminded me of one of those house-flipping shows on HGTV.) In our room, one of the ceiling lights still had blue painter's tape around it. The door (which opened to the outdoors) stuck badly, and the knob was not really appropriate for the purpose- more of a closet or bathroom doorknob than something secure for a hotel room- no deadbolt, etc. We had the same troubles with the hot water that another reviewer mentioned. We had to wait almost an hour to get a cocktail at the bar because it was understaffed. I imagine there were just one or two bartenders serving the bar, restaurant, and pool areas. (For the record, the cocktails were nice, though, as was the bartender.) At one point a man who seemed to be more or less in charge of things (but somewhat overwhelmed) was quite rude to us and another couple we were socializing with in the bar area. The morning we were to check out, a housekeeping person opened the door to the room at around 8:30 AM when we were still asleep. She apologized and said, "Oh, my manager said you already checked out!" We said "No, isn't check out at noon?" She confirmed and went on her way. No big deal. But about an hour later, ANOTHER person barges into the room and says her manager told her we had already checked out. (I'm guessing that her manager was the aforementioned overwhelmed guy.) In short: This place has definite potential- again, so pretty!- but it seems the focus right now is aesthetics over experience. At a lower price point I'd probably call it four stars, but at $300/night in the middle of nowhere, I'd expect better management and service. I'd be interested to see if they work out some of the kinks next summer.

I travel for work and trust the brand We booked, prepaid, arrived to the location. Grounds are beautiful and there is some signage, so it was easy to find however the most important sign is missing (Registration:Office:Check in) anything, it's technically not a front of a building, there's no main entrance so some signage would be amazing. (If you are reading this before staying there. Park in the handicap spots and go to the left, there's a ramp (no sign) that goes to the front desk. We were greeted upon check in, got a small upgrade for being a bonvoy member. Also got some drink chips and a resort credit. All super appreciate, especially as this is a pricier place to stay.. This is an older place, (1966) with some enhancements. The room we stayed in was a king bungalow. It was clean, spacious, had a nice sitting area and a little balcony!

(Need ice machine or ability to get ice, I asked multiple people for ice) Room needs a fridge or microwave, but other than that it's checked off the boxes.

The communal lodge area is especially welcoming, featuring a cozy fireplace, billiards, board games, and multiple seating options. Amenities include a sauna and a pool, both of which were not in service at the time. The ice rink was available, and we did enjoy the s'mores on the west deck in the evening. Our room was simple but very cozy, with mountain views and a balcony. However, the room did not have a fridge or microwave. I also appreciated that the hotel is dog-friendly and offers a Pupstar package. There is a restaurant and bar on site, but prices were high. Dining options in the area were limited during the off-season weekdays, which made this a bit challenging for us. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and the amenities we were able to experience. Carlos at the front desk provided outstanding customer service every interaction and was extremely helpful. Even though a few things were unavailable, the property itself is lovely, and we would consider returning when all amenities are open and the local area is more lively.

When hubs and I need a break from the bustle, Woodstock Inn has been our answer. Due to COVID, Woodstock Inn has done away with paying in-person at the Office/Café. And because of more safety and hygienic protocols, prices have increased. Woodstock Inn has the bones of a motel, but it's far from it. You won't find tacky statues, mismatched smokers' chairs in front of the rooms or odd pastel paint jobs. Each studio, 1-bedroom or rental home(s) have their own modern+country style. Beddings are white, crisp and clean- and none of that grandma's doily collection stuff. I've always backed away from motels, but we actually stayed at another this past summer and honestly, my appreciation for motels ESPECIALLY if they have been upgraded into something shiny and new, is worth staying in.

The Woodstock Inn on the Millstream was largely nice, though it had its pluses and minuses. The…read moreinn was clearly a motel in a previous life, as it had that lengthy structure with outdoor entrances to each room. The parking lot was gravel-based, so vehicles were parked a bit haphazardly, but the lot's spaciousness ensured that it was not really an issue. The hotel was right on the stream with a lovely grassy area dotted with Adirondack chairs, hammocks, and other ways to enjoy the view. The office was located right next to that little park and was also where the continental buffet breakfast was served. The small room had a great view of the water from its few tables. The breakfast options included various hot beverages, several types of milk, yogurt, berries, granola, pastries, breads, hard-boiled eggs, lox, tomatoes, cucumbers, and more. It was really the perfect few bites to start the day with energy and wellness. While the inn had a few larger cabins, many of the rooms were supposedly rather tiny, including ours. The room had a queen-sized bed, nightstand, wall-mounted television, and wooden desk with matching chair. There was a closet with some hanging and shelving space, as well as a hair dryer and coffeemaker. The room really left a lot to be desired from a space perspective, as it was hard to navigate. For instance, the room might have come with 2 luggage racks, but there was really only space for one. The bathroom was also tiny, and it was near impossible to use the toilet without sideswiping the pedestal sink on your way. The shower was a decent size at least. The bathroom came with fluffy towels and Aveda products, which were both appreciated. We also loved that the temperature and pressure of the water were phenomenal; in fact, the shower was like a fire hose! Though the room was small, it was SPOTLESS! Also, its individual heater packed a great deal of warmth. There was not an abundance of electrical outlets, but the alarm clock had one built in, as well as two USB ports. The extremely gracious staff had also left a binder of local recommendations for us on the table. The bed, however, was lumpy, and the pillows were cheap and uncomfortable. From a location standpoint, the inn was only a few blocks from either end of town, depending on which way you wanted to travel. The residential roads were very dark at night and many did not have sidewalks, so we definitely needed to be alert walking to and from the main drag, even though we knew the town was overly safe. The Woodstock Inn on the Millstream made up for its lack of amenities and small rooms with efficient, friendly service and clear dedication to guest satisfaction.

We were best friends since we were 10 years old, went to high school and college together and finally after 20 years I opened my eyes to see that the love of my life had always been right in front of me - he said he knew it all along! We knew from the start that we wanted a weekend getaway and for it to be rustic. We began our search with Full Moon Resort and when we pulled into the drive for a visit we knew we found the place! Meeting Henry, one of the owners, really put the icing on the cake because of how helpful, insightful, and accommodating he was. He gave us a full tour of the facility including the grounds, the reception tent, the barn, the performance space and even the lodging. There are so many amazing things about this venue but I will list my TOP FIVE: #1. Exclusive use of the property! This allows you to customize your wedding and have all of your guests stay on site! #2. Multiple locations! There are multiple locations to entertain your guests over the course of the weekend, even in the winter! My husband is a musician so we took full advantage of the performance space and had a Friday night concert with him, his band and the other talented musicians in our circle of friends and family. #3. The food! Crazy, right? Some people will choose wedding venues based on their caterers however that was not even on our minds when we booked Full Moon Resort. We wanted the remote location, the rustic feel, the ability to have all of our guests stay on site so it felt like our own home in the woods and boy were we surprised when the food was outstanding! Probably the best MacNCheese and collard greens we've ever had. Ever. #4. The service! From the moment we met Henry, as mentioned above, we knew we were in good hands. Once we were introduced to our very own event planner Leigh Ann we knew we were in even better hands! Leigh Ann worked with me on every detail of the weekend - from our Friday night dinner and the music that would be played to every step of the ceremony on Saturday and the details (snacks, marshmallows, candy, etc) for the after parties! She was amazing and everything went off with out a hitch. #5. Free Honeymoon! We took advantage of the winter prices at Full Moon Resort and got married in March. We also took advantage of the free Honeymoon in St. John which was the most amazing, most beautiful place we ever went. We highly recommend staying in this remote cottage, it's exactly like the reviews say it is. The most important thing about getting married at FMR is to set your guests' expectations from the start. This place is rustic and your guests should know it. I've read reviews about the lodging and yes, they are close quarters - especially the shared bathroom spaces but if your guests are there to celebrate you, as long as they have a clean place to sleep and bathe who really cares? And if you care that much then you probably shouldn't have your wedding here. The lodging that's "down the road" from the main area is NOT that far away. That's actually where my husband and I stayed and it was 30 degrees and snowing! We made it work and it was just fine. I can't recommend this place enough - 5 stars doesn't represent how wonderful it is and our friends and family are still saying it's the BEST WEDDING THEY'VE EVER BEEN TO!
