My partner and I stayed for a weekend in the Chrystie House specifically in the William Few room. The home itself is gorgeous and artfully decorated to evoke its 1800s heydays. The Few room is similarly decorated with beautiful antique wooden furniture as well as a small library including historical texts about the room's namesake William Few. Despite its retro ambiance, it did not lack for modern conveniences. The room itself is quite spacious, more than enough for two people, and it has all the amenities you would expect including a large comfortable bed, a TV, water heater, and supplies to make tea. Every morning, we were offered breakfast which was served in a ornately decorated dining room and consisted of a tasty fruit salad as well as freshly baked croissants, scrambled eggs, fresh orange juice, and coffee. This was delicious way to start off the day that we looked forward to everyday. The best part of our stay was getting to interact with the owners. Throughout our stay we were well taken care of by Lynn. She was always available if we needed help and offered tips about what to see and do in Beacon. Overall, I highly recommend the Chrystie House for anyone looking to stay overnight in Beacon. It is a far more luxurious and intimate experience than what you would get at a hotel and was exactly what we were looking for during our weekend getaway. read more

This was my first time staying at a bed & breakfast, and it exceeded my expectations! It's the perfect location for a cozy weekend getaway in Beacon. It is about 25 minute walk/5 min drive from the train station and Main street. Lynn was a very gracious host and made us feel right at home. The breakfast includes fresh fruit, croissants, and home-made quiche with coffee and OJ. Couldn't have asked for anything more and I look forward to staying again in the future! read more

Absolutely incredible for a mother daughter stay! An impeccably run bed and breakfast with two of the sweetest humans! The breakfast is delicious and homemade that we ate in the back patio surrounded by tranquil nature. The rooms are gorgeously restored and so historic. The parlor and library are a wonderful place to rest. 100% recommend read more

My husband and I had a lovely 2 night stay here, and the inn keepers made sure that all of our needs were attended to. We had to leave early today and Lynn even packed a wonderful tasting breakfast for us to go! Thank you Chrystie House. read more

Had a wonderful 2 day getaway to the town of Beacon, where the highlight was truly the stay at the Chrystie House. As a lover of all things vintage/antique, walking into the Chrystie House was a dream come true. It truly felt like being transported back to more than a century ago. The rooms were furnished in a historical style and even the bathroom was adorably retro. Each morning we were warmly greeted by our host Lynn, who provided a delicious homemade breakfast. Like the beautiful home, she was charming and delightful. She even gave us great insight about the Dia Beacon. The Chrystie house is an easy 20 minute walk to Dia Beacon and the Main Street, so it is easily accessible from all the main highlights of the town. I highly recommend staying at this charming B&B! read more

My fiance and I stayed at Chrystie House for a weekend trip to Beacon. The B&B is a super easy walk from the train station and we loved how the house was in the neighborhood surrounded by forest. The location is within a 30 minute walk from the train station, Dia Beacon, downtown, and Mount Beacon trail head. Right when we arrived Lynn was there to greet us and answer any questions that we had. She was attentive and easy to contact during our stay. Breakfast was delicious and there was a different flavored quiche each morning. The porch was a great place to hang out, read, and birdwatch. The room was very clean and the house decorated wonderfully! Thank you for making our Beacon trip all the more special! read more

My husband and I stayed during our weekend trip to Beacon. Lynn and Yuan were amazing hosts. Yuan gave us a great recommendation for dinner on our first night that was close by and Lynn served us a great breakfast the next morning. The home is beautiful and historic. Yuan walked us through the history and his art work that he has displayed throughout the house. The home has great charm and is close to Main Street. The library has a ton of great books to borrow for while you're lounging around as well. We will definitely be back! read more

Stayed 2 nights at the Chrystie house and it was such an enjoyable experience! The house and the room were well kept and the decor was beautiful.

Chrystie House is a gem in Beacon! It's close enough to everything where getting around is still easy, but far enough where you feel peace and quiet on the property. The room was beautiful and clean, with really gorgeous wood furniture and lovely paintings done by one of the owners. Breakfast was filling and delicious each morning, and the innkeeper was very quick to refill tea and coffee :) overall a wonderful stay and a place we will revisit whenever we're in Beacon. Thank you! read more

had a truly wonderful stay at this serene and beautiful bed and breakfast last weekend. Nestled atop a hill in a stately 19th-century home, the property is surrounded by trees and filled with the soothing sounds of birds in the morning. It's not uncommon to spot a deer or wild turkey roaming the grounds, adding to the peaceful, nature-filled atmosphere. The hosts, Lynn and Yuan, are warm, gracious, and incredibly welcoming. Lynn's breakfast each morning is a real treat--freshly brewed coffee, flaky homemade croissants, fresh-squeezed orange juice, a colorful bowl of fruit, and a delicious quiche. It was the perfect way to start the day. The house itself is full of charm and character, with a lovely living room and sitting area on the first floor, dual fireplaces, a piano, and beautiful artwork that makes the space feel both elegant and cozy. Upstairs, there are four uniquely decorated guest rooms, each with its own style and private bathroom. The bathrooms are stocked with soft white towels and thoughtful bath products, and Lynn even prepares a pitcher of water for your room, which was a lovely touch. The location is ideal--peaceful and tucked away, yet less than a 25-minute walk or a quick 5-minute drive to Main Street, where you'll find plenty of great restaurants and shops. The Mount Beacon trailhead is also conveniently nearby for those looking to hike. If you're looking for a relaxing, charming getaway hosted by truly lovely people, I highly recommend staying here. read more

Had a lovely stay at Chrystie House - perfect for a solo writing retreat! You can feel the care that went into its restoration. All the architectural details and the immense collection of art/history books add much soul to the space. Felt so cozy waking up to light coming in through the large windows, and breakfast downstairs in the homey dining room - the innkeeper Lynn is a warm host. The waterfront/trails are a short walk away, along with Main St for meals/shopping. read more

If you're looking for a peaceful getaway less than 2 hours from NYC, look no further. Chrystie House Bed & Breakfast, a fully restored 19th century mansion, is beautiful, spacious, and the perfect respite from the city while being only a short drive or train ride away. Our stay in the Henry Winthrop Sargent Room with it's comfy queen size bed, elegant decor, and amazing views of the Hudson River and patio was exactly what we were looking for to rest and rejuvenate. The owners were incredibly gracious and welcoming. They always made themselves available if we needed anything and generously shared their extensive knowledge of the area. The main rooms were spacious; the grand piano, full book shelves, comfortable couch, and beautiful artwork created by the hosts made for the perfect balance of warm and luxurious. In the morning we were greeted with a delicious breakfast of fresh fruit, homemade quiche, croissants, and coffee/tea. Only a short distance from Beacon's Main Street, we were able to explore the city and still have enough time to check out nearby local parks like Madam Brett Park which was only a few minutes drive away. Chrystie House is a true gem and we hope to return soon! read more

amazing stay will be back! great food (loved the quiche), comfortable bed highly recommend !!

Looks beautiful and happy they restored it. I want to do the same thing with my parents house that they bought in 1962. Our house was built in 1870. Our parents are both gone now and my brother has been living in the house and trying to keep it up but it's getting too expensive so I thinking restoring it and selling it to some one who would be interested in running a B&B might be a good idea but it's expensive. I think it's important to perverse as many of the old homes built at time. We also have a separate buildable lot attached to the property in the back and someone could build their own home right here. It also has a large cinder block 2 car garage with a loft and workshop on the back lot. It would make a nice studio apartment or place for someone to do arts and craft or other hobbies. Would make great storage building for collectors as well. It has a large blacktop 2 car parking area as well. If there is some out there that can help us or is interested in purchasing the both parcels please let me know. charl42fish@gmail.com It would make it great way for older people to have a B&B and offer Beacon style hospitality to visitors coming up to enjoy Beacon's beautiful mountain range since this house is up the hill a bit and you can walk to East Main St is a few minutes. The Round House Restaurant (an upscale dinning and catering center for weddings and other events) which is just 3 blocks down the hill on Fishkill/Beacon Falls from our house. There is so much history here it's a beautiful and fascinating place to learn about especially about the American Revolution and the role George Washington and Alexander Hamilton played in winning freedom from the English and establishing the United States of America. There were over 40,000 troops stationed in was called Fishkill Landing and across the Hudson River in Newburgh. We have the Beacon Historical Society here also that will celebrate 50 years of being established in 1979 and they are honoring the George Atkinson who lead them through so many years with his enthusiasm for the history of Beacon and surrounding area on November 6th at the Round House. read more

Wonderful stay at Chrytie's house! The history here is rich and feels presidential. You wake up to the smell of croissants and birds chirping. Great spot for to take your significant other or for a stay-cation. Will definitely be back! read more

A true gem in Beacon! We truly enjoyed our stay at Chrystie House. From the moment we parked to the time we left we felt genuinely welcomed by the very gracious and extremely knowledgeable husband and wife owners/caretakers who lovingly restored the property and decorated with original art painted by the owner who is also a renown artist. This preserved home is an important piece of American history that is an integral part of the charm that gives Beacon its uniqueness. We will definitely be back whenever we're in this part of the East Coast again to enjoy the warm hospitality and delicious breakfast again. read more

My fiancé and I got engaged while we were staying at the lovely, historic Chrystie House. This bed and breakfast is truly such a serene and calm oasis nestled in the foothills of Mount Beacon. This meticulously restored house is gorgeous and full of history -- we loved peering through the warped glass to the beautiful Hudson! The proprietors of Chrystie House are so dedicated to preserving the home's historical integrity, while providing modern comforts. Our hosts truly made our stay at Chrystie house so memorable. From homemade croissants and quiche made from local eggs, to sharing their deep knowledge of the area's history, their graciousness and attentiveness made us feel truly at home.

Chrystie House - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Beacon, New York

What a find! My husband and I celebrated our anniversary in this lovely old home decorated in Chinese and American antiques. The living room is spacious and comfortable, and the whole house is decorated with beautiful art painted by the owner. One evening we came home to their son beautifully playing classical music on the baby grand piano. Daily breakfast of home made quiche, croissants and plentiful fruit was a perfect way to start the day. We enjoyed hiking and wandering in Beacon, and had some great meals. It's a 25 minute walk into town, and it's easy to get an Uber or Lyft back if you want to ride home after dark. The host, Lynn, is always available, but unobtrusive, and she is fascinating to talk to. We look forward to returning. read more

Beautiful and quaint accommodations! Tasty and satisfying breakfast every day, and the hosts were so lovely. Would definitely return for another stay! read more

Loved this cute little b&b in Beacon. My husband and I celebrated my birthday weekend here just this past weekend. We took the train from the city and loved the location convenience. The owners are really sweet and friendly. The house is the perfect balance of quaint/ historic character (old school furniture, floor to ceiling book shelves, fire place) but with all the creature comforts you would expect in a modern hotel room (tv, a/c, well maintained furnishings). The breakfast was delicious and it's so great that it was homemade with organic ingredients. We enjoyed it on the lovely patio. Would definitely come back in other seasons and also recommend it to friends. Beacon has lots to do as well - scenic walks, a fun Main Street with restaurants and breweries, the dia museum and more! read more

My wife and I had a wonderful 2-night stay right after Thanksgiving. The house itself is beautiful/interesting/well restored, our room was spacious and comfortable (with the best hotel mattress we'd slept on in a long time), and the location is great: a short (like 4 min) drive to downtown Beacon and a great home base for excursions to Storm King, the FDR library, etc. We also very much enjoyed the breakfast both mornings of our stay (the quiches were different each day and delicious), and we found the owners/hosts to be friendly, welcoming, and very responsive (via email, etc.). Would highly recommend! read more

This place is awesome! Super beautiful, historical property with the kindest host. We really enjoyed our stay here and will definitely be back. We stayed in the Albert Chrystie room and it's a large room with an amazingly comfortable bed and a nice large bathroom. The common areas are also very comfortable. I sat in the library one evening reading a book from their collection. We also sat on the porch drinking coffee, eating croissant and watching the gorgeous colored leaves Strongly recommend! We don't drive so for New Yorkers without a car, this place is highly accessible. We walked to Dia Beacon, went hiking, walked to dinner on Main St, etc. All in, a fantastic weekend away from the city. read more

Book this place now! I had a very pleasant stay at the Chrystie house. Everything about it was just amazing, from the bed to the breakfast. Let's start with the bed(room), we stayed at the William Few room and it was exactly like the pictures. The crown molding and decor had an old charm to it which made us feel like we just traveled into the past. Now to the breakfast, it was every bit delicious which consisted of fruit, croissants, bread, and a quiche in the end. I asked the owner about the breakfast as everything tasted fresh, and the answer was no surprise because the ingredients were organic and from the farmer's market. And that quiche, it was all homemade, so of course it would taste good. The breakfast was enough to leave us full when we finally left the house to explore Beacon. Then the house itself was beautifully decorated as the living room and dining room were decorated with furniture and art that were from that era. So you will get a nice mix of Asian and European furniture which made resting in the living room a treat. It was very inspiring as I hope to decorate my home in a similar fashion. And I was fearful that there would be no AC as it wouldn't be of that era, but they do have portable AC units so the summer heat wasn't an issue at the house. This won't be the only time that I will stay there as I am already planning a future trip and will stay at the Chrystie house again. read more

Chrystie House - A living room that I wish I had - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Beacon, New York

My boyfriend booked a 2-night stay at Chrystie House for my birthday because a girl just wants to feel like Keira Knightly in a period drama sometimes yanno. We stayed in the William Few room, which was serene and comfortable. The bathroom has original heat lamps which were discontinued in the 30s (someone fact check me) and that gave me life. The breakfast is amazing. The owners make damn good quiche and croissants. And they are also super attentive and kind. Yuling drove us to the train station when we checked out because we couldn't get an Uber. It made my stone-cold city heart melt :') :') :') Pls pls if you are considering a weekend getaway, come to Chrystie House!! Small businesses have been suffering due to COVID-19 and the AAPI community, in particular, has taken a huge hit. This family is so kind and I had the best time and I want you to have a good time too :) :) :) read more

This is such a special place. We loved our experience staying for a special weekend get away- we got engaged and my fiance couldn't have picked a better place to stay. The home is beautiful with its preserved historical details but is so warm and comfortable to stay in. The bed was amazing to sleep in-so luxurious feeling. Our room had a wall full of art books that we enjoyed. The breakfast was so good too. Unbelievable fresh croissants. I can tell that extra care is being taken when they choose their produce for the fresh fruit and quiche. This is a true bnb experience- elevated by the small luxurious touches and care taken where even the nicest of commercial hotels can fall short. Nothing compares! Thank you Chrystie House. read more

Chrystie House is a mix of opulence, history and warmth. Before I walked into the house it's long winding driveway had my attention. Being from Southern California I rarely see homes like it. It's landscape backdrop only added to its beauty. Walking into the house was inviting, warm and I could feel that every little detail had a purpose. The decor and grand piano in the entrance made it feel very warm and as if I were visiting family. I got to meet Lynn. She made breakfast every morning. The food was organic based and cooked with a healthy intention in mind. The room was outstanding and kinda made it feel as if I were sleeping in a museum except it was inviting and warm. There is a beautiful library in the room and a fireplace not to mention all details which makes it feel warm. To add to the ambience, their son plays piano so the house is full of cheer and love but they give you absolute privacy, but they're very approachable and friendly. Plus you're only a few minutes from downtown! read more

What an unusual place. The house and grounds are awesome, when we drove up to the rear parking lot, a family of deer were nearby to greet us. The owners were very pleasant. Some things to keep in mind: There is no sign marking the driveway out front, making it easy to miss. The rear pathway from the back lot to the door includes navigating luggage down steps that have no railing. We have balance issues, so we had to unload by the side door steps. The owner has painted all of the awesome artwork on the walls. We were entertained by their son practicing classical music on the piano. Breakfast includes a different type of quiche and a croissant every morning. It is not too far from some neat taverns in town, like Melzingah tap house. We would stay again. read more

A true gem hidden amongst the trees of Beacon! My husband and I stayed in the William Few room and it's so unique and comfortable. One of the owners, Yuan, is an artist who painted all the paintings around the hotel and they're incredible! He gave us a short history lesson on our room and was so pleasant. Breakfast was awesome and it was just great to feel immersive in a place with American history to it. In addition to our great stay, Lynn called the night we left to say my husband had left his wallet/keys in the room, and she personally carried them with her on her train ride back to Manhattan the next day so we could coordinate a handoff. Very thankful to this sweet couple for making our weekend great. read more

The other deservedly 5-star reviews on Chrystie covered most, if not all, of what i cover below. I absolutely loved my stay at the Chrystie B&B - walking in, you are greeted by the most welcoming kind couple (Yuan and Yuling or Lynn) as they walk you through a very very elegant, chiq, history-filled house. It's been renovated so it feels super clean and fresh, while still maintaining the strong historic feel. We stayed in the CJ slocum room, which had a beautiful view over the gardens and gorgeous Hudson valley treys. Each room has its private bathroom where you are pampered even better than some of the most luxurious hotels you've stayed in (think old Victorian rain shower, the most unique bathroom tiles, very thoughtfully placed spa items like creams and so). Outside the house are a bunch of chairs, lounge chairs, and tables where you can eat a meal or sunbathe and take in the beautiful stillness of Beacon & Hudson Valley nature. The house is of course non smoking, but I smoked outside just far from the house to avoid any smell going in, and there were no issues at all. P.S. if you are a literature or art lover, you will FALL IN LOVE with your stay in this house. The rooms are filled to the brim with historical books (English, French, Arabic, chinese, etc) and novels that you can get lost in for days. The walls throughout the house are filled with gorgeous Hudson Valley-inspired paintings that one of the current home owners (Yuan) has painted all of. The owners' son will often play piano in the sitting room downstairs which sounds beautiful, but the door is also closed incase any of the guests need to nap or so. All in all - only good things to say about me and my girlfriend's stay here. The house is beautiful and clean. Super accessible to the train station, Main St & the Roundhouse waterfall, and Dia Beacon. But at the same time nestled away enough that you really feel like you've gotten away from the city. The hosts will welcome you so much as well. read more

Summary of the review: you HAVE to visit the Chrystie House if you are traveling to or live in the Hudson Valley area. Upon arrival, you are greeted by the gorgeous landscaping that has been meticulously maintained by the owners. They are so kind and accommodating and are sure to greet you with smiles. The entrance to the property is a gorgeous porch to sit on and take in the surrounding scenery. just inside the door is a gorgeous sitting room and grand library that could entertain for days! You can feel within a moment of stepping through the front door that this house has been restored perfectly and it feels as though you are stepping back through time with it. The rooms are a perfect size (I have stayed in both the CJ Slocum room and the Albert Chrystie room) with extremely comfortable beds, wonderful bathrooms, and amazing detail that keep the classical theme consistent throughout. Do not worry if you visit in warmer months as there are fans and portable AC units provided to keep the rooms at a perfect temperature. Of course, half of Bed and Breakfast is the breakfast and this is really where the Chrystie House SHINES! We were treated to a delicious 3-course meal that exceeded all expectations! I am a very picky traveler and Chrystie house definitely is one of my favorite places! read more

I had a lovely stay at Chrystie House with my partner earlier this year. Lynn was a fantastic host and provided a lovely breakfast daily along with great conversation, and the lodging was absolutely beautiful. The house is wonderfully decorated with her husband's works, but the space itself and its proximity to main street is what really makes it such a gem. All the rooms have clearly been maintained with plenty of love, care and reverence for the history held within their walls. If you're on the fence, don't be! read more

Chrystie House B+B in Beacon, NY, is a hidden gem! This BEAUTIFUL historic home feels like the perfect little, cozy escape. I went with my partner for a few days and we were floored by how beautiful and relaxing the space was. We adored Lynn, the owner of the B+B. She was incredibly hospitable and friendly, served us a simple yet delicious locally-sourced organic breakfast each morning. And I loved her extensive knowledge of the history of the home and other fun facts she was able to tell us about, like finding out her husband actually created all the art work in the home! You can truly feel how much love and intention goes into the space and I can't wait to go back in the future! read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Chrystie House. This historic house has been turned into an inviting B&B by the hosts. They are warm and welcoming. The rooms are nicely appointed and the bed is comfortable. Food is delicious (great croissants and quiche!) and other dietary restrictions were met upon request (e.g., gluten-free, vegan). The nearby town and area attractions make this the ideal spot to stay. Highly recommend. read more

The Chrystie House in Beacon, N.Y. is an Exceptional B&B We stayed at the Chrystie House B&B in Beacon N.Y. three weeks ago and loved every minute of it. We have a passion for historic inns and B&Bs, and you simply can't get any more historic and beautiful than the Chrystie House. Originally built in 1821, the Chrystie House is a beautiful example of early, 19th century, Federal-style architecture. This place aches with history and colonial style. That history wraps its arms around you the minute you walk in the front door! You expect to see a colonial gentleman or lady waft through the room at any minute. The history of the house is stunning. It was built by William Few, signer of the US Constitution on behalf of the State of Georgia, then became a US Senator, and later he helmed the Manhattan Bank from Aaron Burr after Burr shot Hamilton. The house was relocated to higher ground in 1927 (by horse and carts) to where it is now, lovingly restored by the Lee family in 2007. Our hostess, Mrs. Lee, was welcoming, charming, gracious, and determined to make you feel comfortable at every turn. The breakfast is extra-filling and carefully prepared. All of the rooms are immaculately clean. We had an evening seat by the roaring fireplace as their son played expertly on the grand piano across the main sitting room. The B&B is close to all the major, local attractions. It snowed on our second day there, and this made the house and grounds even more magical than the day before. Our stay at the Chrystie House was a magnificent weekend in a throwback of time. Do yourself a treat and stay there if you're nearby. Wonderful! Dave & Don read more

What a lovely experience! We stayed in the Albert Chrystie room which was spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed the large bathroom and the amazing rainfall shower. Our room had a mini fridge and electric tea pot with mugs. We took advantage of this amenity to unwind after a long day of exploring the nearby area. We stayed four nights and enjoyed a hot tea on the beautiful porch each afternoon. In the evening we sat outside to enjoy a final glass of wine before turning in for the night. The owners were welcoming and delightful to talk to. They provided us with great restaurant and activity recommendations. The family is very interesting and talented. You can view Mr. Lee's paintings throughout the house and if you are lucky you can listen to their son practice his piano in the living room. Mrs. Lee served breakfast each morning in the dining room and it was delicious as well as a great way to start our day. The house is about a 5 minute drive or a 20 mini walk to Main Street which makes this perfect location for a peaceful retreat or a fun weekend exploring all the town of Beacon has to offer. We will definitely return for a long weekend getaway! read more
