Good place for a meal, a spa visit, a little nature walk, etc. it's tucked away from the main road. The ambience is great. It's a nice getaway from the craziness. I would recommend. read more

https://foundingfarmers.org/2026/01/24/foreclosure-suit-hits-iconic-buttermilk-falls-inn-amid-public-controversy/ Sadly in foreclosure....horrible experience. After returning for many years..this beautiful property is falling apart. I reserved Pony's Pad and upon arrival they moved me to another less appealing space due to "maintenance issues" with no prior notice. Too many issues to note here. Management didn't call me back to address the issues I had after several emails and messages. Trip Advisor recent reviews confirm negative experiences as well. Use caution if considering this location for any type of stay or wedding venue, Its future is uncertain. (see above link regarding foreclosure status) read more

BEWARE, do not book anything here. The absence of customer service is a total nightmare and the childishness of the owner is unheard of in the service industry. I don't know how they are still operating but someone needs to sell the place to a different owner/management. read more

Does anyone answer at the spa? Does anyone even work there? I did read that they went into foreclosure for defaulting on their loans, so it might explain the lack of service and availability. Hopefully they'll get bought out and someone with better management experience can turn it around. Such a shame because this place could have been a gold mine. read more

We arrived and there was no one at front desk. Envelope with my name on it. We decide to go to the room and figure out food and go from there. Restaurant on site is closed , with no information why or if they will be opening at all. We drive out to get lunch somewhere (nowhere really close to here ) come back for the tea time where tea, coffee and pastries are supposed to be served. We arrive about 25 minutes after it's supposed to start and the water for tea is room temperature, which who knows how long it's been sitting. There are two numbers listed at the front desk to call with any concerns. I call the owner, and get an immediate text to text him there. I tell him my concerns, and 4+ hours have gone by at this time with no response. I called the other phone number who was the house keep manager, and she was extremely nice, and said she would reach out to the owner. I haven't heard anything and I imagine he told her to not talk to me any further either. Website for the spa has been down. I assumed it was only in person to book while it's going under renovations, but no one to talk to about these services. We call and the woman was slightly rude and had one available appt for the time we were staying. I can't see a Monday in the middle of April being a crazy busy time given we also didn't see a single other guest while we were there. Pictures of the place look great, but once you are there you can see how doctored those photos are. There was zero hospitality. I was hoping this was going to be a place we could hang out and relax and do everything we needed on site, but there was nothing actually open to do. On the drive home my wife found several other very similar experiences on places like yelp. I would not recommend. The fact the owner has not responded to my concerns in 4 hours, but could reply right away before he found out I was not satisfied speaks volumes. read more

We had the best brunch at Buttermilk! Everything was delicious and the service was amazing. It was super friendly, fast, and really attentive. We ordered the banana French toast, chicken and waffles, margharita pizza, burger, and of course some drinks! The mimosas and margaritas were a hit! The food came out quickly and everything tasted incredible. For dessert, we had an awesome mix from sorbet, cheesecake and the standout was definitely the crème brûlée. So good! After brunch, we walked around the grounds which are absolutely beautiful. We saw peacocks, chickens, llamas, and took in the amazing views of the Hudson River. Such a peaceful and fun spot. Can't wait to come back and try the spa next time. read more

We had a wonderful stay at the Buttermilk Falls Inn + Spa. The fireplace in our original room was not working and needed to be repaired so we were placed in the Grand Laurel Master Suite (bridal suite). The room is HUGE and the shower has a built in steam room! The rooms are pricey (at the time of this writing - the Grand Laurel Master Suite was priced at anywhere between $435 and $775 per night). We ended up using our Hotels.com reward towards our room (it was before Hotels.com nerfed their rewards program - so we were able to apply a sizable amount towards the room to bring down the cost). Breakfast was delicious, there was fruit, muffins, bagels, and you can choose an entree (scrambled eggs, frittata, or waffle). The menu rotates based on what's in season. It's nice walking around the Buttermilk Falls grounds, there are donkeys, chickens, ducks, and peacocks. The ducks can be a little aggressive and hiss at you, best not to walk directly towards the ducks or make direct eye contact with the Alpha Duck (you'll know the Alpha Duck because he's the one that wants to fight you). There's also cool graveyard on the grounds that's not marked on the map. Some of the graves are from the Revolutionary War, so just keep in mind a lot of the stuff on the property is old. Yes, from what other reviewers have said, it could benefit from some touch up paint and new carpeting in the stairwell area, but overall this inn has great history and character. It was a quiet and peaceful getaway for us, as long as you're managing your expectations (it's not the Ritz Carlton) you will enjoy your stay here. read more

I visited Buttermilk Falls Inn looking for a place to propose to my now fiancé. Not only was a blown away by the amazing scenery, but the people there could not have been more of a joy to meet and work with. Everyone we met with was more than willing to work with us to plan a spectacular day that truly ended up being special. Kelly worked most directly with us and went beyond all of our expectations and truly did an unbelievable job. Amazing day and amazing people all around. I have been telling everyone about Buttermilk falls and the pictures speak for themselves! read more

Absolutely horrible! Booked appointments mid-March for facials/massages to happen at the same time with my daughter on April 3 (she was home for the weekend from college). I called on March 30 to RESCHEDULE. No one answered, so I left a message. Got a return call the following morning from "Betsy". They had no appointments available while she was home and told me they'd have to charge me 50% for cancelling! I tried to explain why I needed to reschedule and "Betsy" just cut me off before I could even finish. She also rudely said that I took a half day away from her workers. PLEASE, a half day? Both services together would have been 2 1/2 hours at the most! I wasn't planning on cancelling, but they couldn't accommodate me. I checked their cancellation policy online and saw that it needed to be done within 48-hours from the appointment. Well, I did that, but because they weren't open on Tuesdays, when I originally called, it wasn't considered. Also, they have added to their policy that if you book a group of 4 or more people OR SERVICES and don't cancel within 7 days, you are responsible for 50% of the fees. 7 DAYS? That is ridiculous! A lot can happen to people 7 days before an appointment that might require them to cancel. I requested to speak to "Betsy's" manager, because I was so angry. She was just as rude. She kept re-reading the policy over and over to me like I was a child. I got charged $260 on my credit card for nothing. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE BUTTERMILK! Told as many people as I could about this experience, so they NEVER go there. read more

This is the WORST customer service I've very experienced. Absolutely ridiculous. I have called them every day for the past week MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY leaving messages and they only called me back once, while I was at work and missed it. I was given a gift card so I had to make the reservation for the inn and for a spa treatment over the phone and it has been the most dreadful experience and I'm truly disappointed. I have never left a bad review before and I don't take pleasure in slandering this place, but I'm just trying to do anything to get them to call me back. read more

We booked a room for 2 nights to celebrate my wife's 70th birthday. We arrived after a 5 hour car journey to check in. We were told that the room we had reserved was not available due to maintenance and that they had "upgraded" us to another accommodation. They had booked us into a separate house with 4 rooms on three floors, but told us that we could not use the basement, or second floor, only the first. We had booked what appeared to be a quaint, comfortable room in the Inn, and were housed in a very VRBO-like house, which was not to our liking. We asked about the SPA facility, which they then said was also closed (no pool, no steam room as was advertised) but services were available. We checked out early the next day and returned home to Maryland. Beware all of you who are seeking a comfortable get away at an Inn whose management cares about your stay. Oh yes, and when we sought to get our $962 back for the ruined stay, they only refunded the second nights charges which took a marathon set of emails and phone calls to Expedia. Lastly, we tried to call the Inn several times before arriving, but they don't answer their front desk phone. Expedia tried to contact them to resolve the $$ refund, but they didn't answer the phone and, initially, refused to refund the hotel's advanced charges. Worst example of hospitality I have experienced in 50 years of travelling! read more

Terrible experience. The Inn and the surroundings look nothing like the pictures on the website. The Inn is old and dilapidated. Needs a complete renovation. There were issues with cleanliness, comfort, and hospitality (completely lacking). The breakfast included toddler portions of food. The grounds were completed neglected with weeds and debris. Our $500 room was small, dark, and lacking the promised view of the Hudson River. We paid for 2 nights yet only stayed one night because of the poor accommodations. There was zero flexibility with management to make it right. We never received the promised call from the property owner for a resolution. Buyer Beware! read more

Rude staff, clueless owner, mismanagement. Friends went there recently and had the same poor experience. Would not recommend. Even a Holiday Inn is more welcoming. And for that price? Really? read more

We made reservations at Buttermilk Falls Inn two to four weeks before Thanksgiving and provided all required information, including my credit card. I specifically asked whether the card would be charged at booking or at arrival because I needed to arrange funds. I was told it would be handled at arrival. When I arrived on Thanksgiving Day, there was no one at the front desk. A sign instructed guests to wait, so I did. After twenty to thirty minutes, I walked over to Henry's to see if someone there could help. They also could not locate staff from the inn. For clarity, the house manager at Henry's was wonderful. In total, I waited roughly an hour and a half before anyone from the inn appeared. When they did, I was told my reservation had been double booked. Instead of offering a direct path forward, I was met with a series of questions that implied the problem was mine. They asked who I booked with, whether my card had been charged, and whether I had received a call or email the day before saying my reservation was cancelled. I searched my phone and found nothing. Each time I tried to shift the conversation back to finding a solution, the staff repeated versions of the same questions. They also expressed frustration about having to work on a holiday. I acknowledged that working holidays is difficult and shared that I had done so earlier in my life. They claimed I yelled at them. I did not. I was firm that surely a solution could be found. It was bizarre to feel as a customer a defensiveness instead of experiencing assistance and acknowledgement of the difficult situation. What was missing the entire time was any empathy, any recognition of the disruption, or any willingness to propose a workable alternative. There was no offer to help us find another room, no attempt to ease the situation, not even a simple "We're sorry this happened." One staff member even suggested they did not want us to go eat Thanksgiving dinner, become tired and return expecting to have a room. My daughter was exhausted by the back and forth and asked to go home. This trip was meant to be a small celebration after a difficult period. Instead it became a nightmare. It would be hard to recommend such an experience to anyone. read more

Perfect winter getaway. I had the BEST mini-retreat at Buttermilk Falls Inn. The room (Sage Right) was super clean and cute, with a gas fireplace that made it feel extra cozy during this snowy visit. The dinners at Henry's just a few steps away were delicious, and the breakfasts at the inn were comforting and generous. The spa is a short walk on the bridge over a pond which was frozen when I visited, and the massage I got was one of the best I'd ever had. On top of all this, every single person I met was warmly welcoming. I'm honestly bowled over by how consistently excellent every aspect of my stay was. read more

Terrible, the bill with taxes tip and assorted fees was $400 per night and did not service the room. Breakfast was included but very scarce menu, calls for service to fix a broken toilet went unanswered as did the request to fix the tv. Front desk went home at 9pm and didn't return until 8am. The 24 hour emergency phone number went unanswered. I could go on but you get the picture. You are better off in a homeless shelter than this dump. read more

I was assured verbally and in writing that this establishment welcomed off leash dogs to enjoy their rural property, which included livestock, ponds, and trails. We arrived on a beautiful spring morning after two days of torrential rains. The pond water had churned and the trails were very muddy, but I had paid the requisite cleaning fee and assumed that the owners understood what happens when dogs encounter these conditions. Because no outdoor hoses are provided to rinse the dog off, I took him into the shower stall in the room to clean him up when we returned, using the towels to dry him off. I assume all linens are laundered between guests. Imagine my shock when I was charged $800.00 extra for cleaning the room. The owner claims that the linens, sofa, and mattress were ruined and that the dog urinated everywhere. There was no sofa in the room. My dog absolutely did not urinate in the room. I don't know what kind of linens are ruined in a hot water wash cycle. I believe this is a cash-grab to have a guest pay to freshen the room up and replace a tired, old mattress and worn out towels without having to reach into his own pocket. I'm glad I went with my dog. Despite the lovely May weather, we were the only guests I could see on the property. I now understand why. Moreover, no staff is available on the premises overnight. It's unsettling, especially if you are a single woman. Pay close attention to the negative reviews. Don't stay here. I will let my credit card company sort this out. They have lots of experience dealing with con artists. read more

Overpriced, Property in Disrepair, Rude Management, No Peace, and Fraudulent Business Practices. I literally checked out early eating the daily rate to leave. Let's dig in. Fraudulent Business Practices: I was recommended this property from a former colleague, who used to go up to this property once a year on his birthday. He told me all about the inn, the spa, pool, everything. That was probably in 2019. Then COVID happened and then life happened. So, for years, I wanted to go and finally found the right time to go with my sister. I booked not knowing that there would be a construction site right next to our room, trucks going by constantly, hammering, banging. The room I booked specifically had the word "peaceful" twice in the description. Also, the pool, steam shower, and sauna were all closed, though I didn't see any of that information from the main page through booking. When I received my spa confirmation week of our reservation, I saw in bold text at the top of the email that the pool, steam room, and sauna were all closed. Emailed expressing my disappointment asking for some discount given this wasn't what I expected. They responded that it was included in my confirmation email. Yes, that is true, but allllll the way at the bottom under the terms section. Also, no mention of construction next to our room. Plus, I shouldn't be made aware after spending money, but before. Explained this. Then, they mentioned that it was listed on an about page (category to be clicked off of main page), but why would I go to the about page if I had information from a friend? Also, wouldn't you put that information on the main page to be up front? Or maybe anywhere throughout the entire booking process? No, they didn't. Instead they blamed me, the guest. Luxury "resort"? I don't think so. For the record, the assistant GM, Camile did offer to let me cancel day of but my sister and I had already taken PTO and she was on her way, so not really a viable solution. They also offered an upgrade when I arrived but I reminded them that I was traveling with my pet (why I booked the pet friendly room). Thus, they couldn't move us. The simple fact was, they could have solved this with a voucher on dinner, a bottle of wine, anything up front. But instead, they doubled down on shady business practices. So, I filed a complaint with the BBB. Businesses who operate this way should be held to consequences. While ultimately, this business continued to do nothing to resolve, I hope it serves as a warning to others. The room: The bed was nice and comfy but overall, the room was dark, save for the bathroom with the skylight. Walking up the stairs to the property, everything was rusted and falling apart. Inside, the decor was mostly old and in need of repair. While almost every hotel I stay in now has a smart TV, this one has cable channels only and was very small. Considering I paid $712 for 2 nights, certainly not the "luxury" experience as described. I'd maybe pay $250 a night for this room. The spa: Enjoyed my CBD massage. It was fantastic. A+ The scrub was a bit lighter than I would have wanted, but the woman doing it was so lovely and accommodating. The view of the Hudson outside of the spa was also nice. The property: It is very pretty with flowers, willow trees, ponds, views of the Hudson. Ducks everywhere. My sister fed the ducks from her hand. There is also pigs, chickens, and peacocks. Pet Program: They mention dog beds, dog bowls, and toys in the room. None of that was provided. The breakfast: The highlight of the whole thing. It was delicious and the staff here were so lovely. That breakfast was the luxury service that needed to be applied everywhere else. Spot on. Cheering on chef. Buttermilk Falls: We walked down to see it but nothing like the photo. Not really worth seeing. That said, there is a train track down there and it is very cool to see the trains roll by. Henry's Restaurant: The service was A+. The food? Mixed. Calamari was delicious. I got a burger that was burnt (even though I asked for medium) as was the bun. The truffle frites were flacid and dripping in oil. My sister got the short rib and she loved it. I'd recommend Crew Restaurant in Poughkeepsie. That place was amazing. Overall: Thumbs down but that breakfast crew is read more

Without going into much detail (even though I should) . The view is beautiful the service is wonderful . For what they offer it is so overpriced and the quality of the food is so much left to be desired. The desert and drinks were excellent but again the entrees were terrible . read more

Don't come here. If you are looking for an amazing spa day or even an over night stay there are so many better options in the area. I highly recommend Mohonk or any other spa. The food was nothing spectacular and the hotel room was dirty. Quite literally filled with spiders and spider webs in every corner of the room. We had hoped dinner and lunch would be great but we literally got sat at a table with a stink bug right on it. There are also no fun included activities during the day but for the price you pay so many other inns and spas have better amenities. Also they seem to advertise as dog friendly but there was no where for us to put our dogs waste and when we asked the worker at the front desk her response was "I don't know" to everything. Incredibly frustrating and unhelpful overall. We left early and won't be back. read more

Stayed here during weekend getaway in March. The place is lovely and the staff is very welcoming. We stayed in the Juniper suite. The room is very pretty and the room's balcony overlooks the Hudson. The room is cozy and the fireplace gives it a warm feel. The breakfasts were also very good. The grounds are really nice and there are animals on the property. Very nice place to go for a weekend getaway . read more

It as so lovely.....sigh. Farmhouse chic, with all the modern amenities. The ONLY critique is that we are early risers and had to drive out for gas station coffee at 5:30 am. Beautiful grounds for walking, farm, waterfall, trail around the lake. Saw several fire pits but not one was lit, I suppose we could have asked, but it was pretty cold. Delicious though a little salty dinner at Henry's. Marvelous, responsive and friendly staff. Really sweet and romantic weekend. Looks like it would be a fairytale setting for a wedding or anniversary party. read more

Beware before booking at Buttermilk Falls Inn & Spa -- A luxury inn running on the highway of no service or luxury! I would not recommend this inn as there is a lack of management experience and engagement and a cost/quality mismatch. Great: * Spectacular grounds, landscaping, and natural setting * Pleasant but unseasoned hospitality staff Off the mark: * Management: The innkeeper and GM were either absent (GM) or avoided engaging with guests in a customer-friendly way (innkeeper). So good luck w/ a request (or, more seriously, an emergency) that requires management input. * Deceptive practices: There is a 10% "resort fee" added although there is NO mention of this fee during the booking process. Their fee is based on the cost of your room, so, those in more expensive rooms pay more for the exact same services for which others pay much less. * Spa: The spa has been under "renovation" for over a year even though there was no sign of any renovations happening. Typical spa amenities were not available, time allotted for spa services was cut by 10 minutes (for sanitation) but fees were not. It is a scaled-down spa experience with full pricing. Not to mention that our spa appts were canceled as the temporary location had no heat. * General maintenance: both of our accommodations required updating and significant maintenance. Pulls for curtains didn't work, shower curtain rods weren't secure, water pressure in showers was weak, doors that didn't fully close, etc. * Technology: the technology in the rooms (tv, sound systems, etc.) is woefully out of date. TVs are not "smart" and after hours of trying to connect to the WIFI to use the Roku, we simply gave up. Throughout the stay, there was constant frustration due to invisible service and maintenance of this facility. The rates are WAY too high for the level of service and accommodations.

Annemarie C. at Henry's and in catering is a pleasure! She is so knowledgeable about the whole property including the restaurant (Henry's), the spa, the rooms, and on-site farm. She goes above and beyond to treat the guests like family, and what a sense of humor! This lovely place located in a small town in upstate New York is a great getaway or day trip for brunch plans, a spa day, or a night at Henry's. For brunch, I recommend their french toast and chicken & waffle. For dinner, my favorite is their truffle risotto. At the spa (only a few steps away from the restaurant) I have received both the signature and falls massage, however, I didn't see a huge difference in either service. Both were great and I will be returning. Although it is an expensive place, it is worth it! read more

My wife and I decided to try this place since we had a 120 dollar gift card. Pulling in, we were very excited. It is a beautiful place. We just planned to have dinner. Everything was nice at first. We both ordered two French onion soups. I ordered the fish of the day which was explained to me to be sea bass. My wife ordered a pork shank. The soups came out pretty quickly and they were very nice. Then we waited one hour for our food to come out. Keep in mind there were o my like 6 tables. It wasn't that busy. When the food came out, it looked ok at first until I realized that I had salmon and not sea bass. That's not really a big deal. However, I wouldn't have ordered it if it was salmon. Salmon is not a catch of the day. Where did you catch the salmon from exactly Hannafords lol. Salmon is only caught in rivers during September. It was basic super market salmon with no kind of special sauce or anything. It had rock hard carrots, rock hard raw green beans and very bland polenta. Nothing had seasoning and everything was bland. My wife had pork shank. The pork was pretty tasty. Her sweet potatoes were burned but flipped over so the burned side was down, her brussel sprouts were rock hard and not cooked and that's the plate. Pork with some kind of sauce, burned sliced sweet potatoes with no seasoning, and rock hard brussel sprouts. We were both disappointed with our dinners but it was a gift card so we were like whatever. Two glasses of wine One water bottle Two soups Two meals 120 dollars plus tip.!!! Ridiculous. I feel bad for the owner but someone needs to take control. They are out of their minds. We didn't look at the prices because prices are generally the same everywhere. Why would you charge 30 dollars for farm raised salmon? Why would you charge 30 dollars for anything? read more

I really wanted to give this an AMAZING review but.... We had so many problems. Spoke with the manager. She gave me her card and offered me assistance for future stays. I have since emailed multiple times and called. I have left messages with the front desk and on her phone. It's been a month and I have not heard back. The front desk said that they're behind on checking emails. But a month behind? And are there that many phone messages that a whole month can go by? We book the North Cottage for 4 girls. Yet only two towels. They said someone would be at the front desk 24 hours. So we went there and it was empty. There was a number to call, which we did but no answer. Left a message. Didn't get towels until the next morning... We had to use the robes as towels. On one of the beds, there was no sheet between the duvet and the bed. How does something like that get missed? We used the outside sheet for the night, but still. No shampoo, only conditioner and shower gel. The next morning, we went to the front desk with the list of things missing. She said she'd get it right away. We said we were going for a walk and would pick it up on the way back. However when we went back, it wasn't ready. And she forgot what she was supposed to get. Um, what happened to basic customer service, like, write it down?! This is my favorite problem. We're staying at a sanctuary. Where they help animals. I asked for a vegan breakfast and I got sautéed spinach with tomato. Which is perfectly fine. However it was only two forks full. How is that supposed to satisfy anyone? If that's all they had, then give me an actual serving. Oh and I think hummus. I think they included hummus but no bread. Am I supposed to eat the hummus with a spoon? Last I checked, people don't eat hummus plain. Throw a carrot or something in there. Their excuse was that they didn't have any vegan options. This is a sanctuary an 1 1/2 from NYC. I can't be the only vegan that's visited. What about bread and peanut butter? Oatmeal? Fruit? It's really not that difficult. The chef did make it up to me the next day. Made a great breakfast burrito with a note. However, I don't understand how there are no readily vegan options in the first place. If that list wasn't enough, dishwasher leaked, back door doesn't open easily and the light fixture fell from the wall. Anyway, I initially hoped to write a wonderful review. Saying despite all our problems here, the manager took care of everything but is NOT the case. I mean, is there even a manager? What is happening over at Buttermilk Falls Inn? For $800 a night, it'd be nice to have basic service like sheets and towels. What a joke of a business. read more

My husband and I have been to the Inn at Buttermilk Falls several times and each time we arrived in need of rest and recharging. That is exactly what we find at the Inn at Buttermilk Falls! It is welcoming, charming, relaxing and exactly what we need. The home made hot breakfast is delicious. The snacks at afternoon tea are perfect. Dinners at Henry's are absolutely superb. The staff is friendly and helpful. Everything is from farm to table. The majestic 75 acre views, the walks to the falls... I highly recommend the Inn and the Spa at Buttermilk Falls! Although the new and improved Spa is under construction, the temporary home of the existing spa is lovely and the massages were excellent. Henry's is also undergoing a face lift and increase in space, but the temporary home for Henry's is less than a mile away and easy to get to. Can't say enough about the food and presentation at Henry's. Special shout out to executive Chef Alex Herdzik and our lovely waitress Nicole for making our experience at Henry's a true delight.

Food was excellent, Service staff was attentive and really tried hard. They're just a little bit office far as the service goes. and example would be asking for a spoon when they served you coffee. But then again coming from the city we can have very high expectations. The environment was really nice and the grounds are amazing. Also coming from the city the price was phenomenal. Can't remember the last time my wife and I had a yummy brunch including the tip was under $80! read more

This is one of those places one would like to keep a secret. Every aspect of this inn exceeds expectations. The grounds, trail and waterfall, the farm (with llamas, alpacas, geese, chickens, peacocks and adorable take-them-home with you ducks) and views of the Hudson are unparalleled. Add in the warm and friendly staff, the great breakfast and short stroll to restaurant and spa, and this cannot be beat. One can't help but feel the relaxation just stepping out of the car. The spa is every bit as good as any and the indoor pool is located in an "outdoor" room. We left walking on air... read more

We stayed at Buttermilk Falls Inn and Spa in March for the weekend for a birthday celebration. The Inn is tucked away in the woods and is a quiet and peaceful retreat. The Inn itself is beautiful. We loved the style and decor inside and the grounds were equally as beautiful. They have a farm within walking distance where you can visit their llamas, chickens, donkeys and peacocks. Also located on the grounds is their spa and restaurant, Henry's on the farm. When we visited, the new spa location was still under construction so we had our services at their old location. The space was lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed our facials and massages. Every morning there is breakfast bar in the dining area that is included with your stay. They have coffee, tea, juice, bagels, rolls, yogurt, fruit and a few special kitchen items each day. Highly recommend Buttermilk and we hope to return again in the future! read more

Horrible experience! An overpriced over-rated Motel 6 stay. It was supposed to be a romantic getaway but instead we had ants crawling up the walls, our fireplace was inoperable, the ductless split was blowing cold air and the cheap table in front of the fireplace needed a magazine under the leg just so our glasses of wine didn't slide off. The furnishings are extremely dated and as we walked the grounds we witnesses a lack of upkeep. We did inform management of our concerns and they sent someone to fix the fireplace and heat. Nothing was fixed and when we checked out we asked to speak with management. Gina was "unavailable" and we were told she would call us that day. It is now a full day after we checked out and still nothing. I have texted the manager with no response. I wish I had read the reviews prior to spending a fortune to stay! read more

I have to say....This is one cute little Inn, with the nicest staff EVER. Ok yes we were overworked and in desperate need of a quick respite so I might have felt the same anywhere quiet with staff that doesn't bite but no; it was not just that i needed it...It really was so charming. The grounds of the buttermilk are magical- and I was here in the middle of February so I can not even imagine what the place looks like in June. little rolling hills, weeping willows, perfectly placed barns and other land dwellings with geese....and a pond. It was a storybook setting I was obsessed. We stayed in the winterberry room. Everything was great except maybe the bed was not the bed in the picture from when I booked (pic showed a log bed and it also looked bigger) and there IS a loud freight train several times in the night running along the hudson river (that is like across a field from the balcony of our room) that slightly bothered me but- it was clean, cozy and well appointed and the staff went out of their way to leave us a little bottle of champagne for our anniversary! I slept and relaxed and enjoyed it. The waffle knit white robes were a nice touch too. The Buttermilk also included breakfast and both mornings were insane! Day one involved some fresh farm eggs that I have not been able to replicate since I returned and assumed it was because a farm chicken must have laid them one hour earlier, specifically for me. So no matter what I buy at whole foods I cant find that taste. Day 2 involved some buttermilk PERFECT CRISP EDGED pancakes with some kind of magical pecan and creamy sugar buttery caramel stuff drizzled on it. Both days involved what seemed like fresh squeezed OJ. If not fresh, tasted so. This alone is enough to lure me back. Haven't even mentioned the animals on the property and the on site farm to table restaurant across the way. Oh yeah---both additional reasons to return. I decided Id be perfectly happy living in this place and eating those eggs every morning before a brisk stroll around the farm, I didn't try the spa but when I live here I will; and we will just never leave. We can have dinner at Henrys every night and relax out life away, occasionally driving to New Paltz for a little excitement. I am good with this. Maybe some sound proof french doors in winterberry- and a bigger bed. ahhhh perfect. read more

Very bad experience with spa.. There was a misunderstanding with reservations which was not MY Fault but they did not resolve and ruined a birthday. Would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

We just got back from a weekend at Buttermilk Falls, an upscale Bed and Breakfast that doubles as a spa and mini resort. We lodged at one of their 5 houses, the North Cottage, a beautiful 2 bedroom ranch style home. We were there to celebrate our 1 yr wedding anniversary. Our cottage was described as the most remote on the property stationed near the animal farm with llamas goats and rams. It was a short walk to the main house and Henrys Restaurant. I couldnt find many pictures of our Cottage so I'll post a few. It overlooked the river, had an outdoor porch, bbq grill , fire place and full kitchen. Other than the farm, the property's amenities included a spa, pool gym, and walking trails to a waterfall along the Hudson River. Their restaurant Henrys, which is on sight, was so good we ate there both nights. The Inn is 15 minutes outside of Poughkeepsie - just across the River - and a 20 minute drive north to New Paltz. We went to New Paltz for a day trip, had lunch and checked out shops. Minnewaska State Park is also close and there are many activities you can find. Leaving we decided to book Buttermilk for next yr, where we'll stay at the Pony Pad. Excited to go back. read more

Escape away to private dining with a wooded drive up and gated (but open) entrance and fairytale like environment. The restaurant is perched above, which overlooks the swan and duck pond. The parking throughout is limited, so reservations are needed. There are seasonal views of the Hudson River from the parking lot. There are trails throughout which connect to separate locations on the spa grounds, some of which are used for wedding venues. As you walk towards the restaurant you will pass an arched bridge from which you will likely encounter wild ducks, geese or swans roaming about. Walking through the doors, there is a small staircase up to the restaurant. The vibe is carried throughout, which is modern, rustic farm to table meets NYC loft. The food is as good or better than you would expect. Warmed Bread loaf and side butter dish with one of the speciality cocktails will settle you in. If you aren't a big fan of sitting near or around other fellow diners, I suggest the tables with booth seating on the back and side walls, or window seat with an over-the-top view of the grounds. Food presentation is current and inventive with different array of presentations for the same dishes. Menu selections are recognizable with modern and thoughtful sides and integration with main dish. Service is usually stellar, though with large crowds and big parties the attentiveness of waiting response does seem affected, slightly. If you are looking for culinary level cuisine and want to escape the rural locality, this the place! Do yourself a favor, treat yourself to a massage and relax! This is a favorited place for major events and read more

We were here for our cousin's wedding. We were amazed by the attentiveness and kindness of the staff! They made sure everyone was served to the highest degree and wanted for nothing. We had an amazing time here and would 100% recommend for any event you might be planning. read more
