Now, we only had a 1.5 hours so most of the time I spent was in the musuem, but the grounds are immaculate, and you can see a variety of the sites from the Woodstock festival, including the actual historical site. The grounds could be a little more clearly labeled, but otherwise this is a nice stop.

I wouldn't return to this venue. Got tickets to see Paul Simon. Well first when you buy tickets on…read morethe lawn they make you add on lawn chairs rentals. You can't bring your own, so bring a picnic blanket. Getting in and out is a nightmare. I also suggest if you have lawn tickets to get there early and not sit on the top of the hill. Was actually really enjoying the experience until the concert started. Maybe the pavilion is better, but you have to endure a lot of background noise from venders (there was a loud kettle corn stand right near me) and other guests treating a concert like a picnic in the park where they can speak freely. I had to listen to people's side conversation while I was trying to listen to Paul Simon play. I typically wouldn't blame the venue for inconsiderate guests, but the speakers and sound quality were so soft it was impossible to tune them out. I left early to beat what would have been a nightmare leaving and I wasn't going to be able to hear the music well anyway. The Paul Simon tour was called "A Quiet Celebration" it probably was not the right venue for this kind of show. You could say maybe I should have been earlier and gotten closer or payed more for the pavilion, but the people on the top of the hill deserve a concert experience as well.

The food is incredible, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, and you can tell that every detail is thoughtfully cared for. What really sets The Heron apart from any other, are the owners. Marla and Paul are some of the kindest, most humble, and hard working people I've ever met. They genuinely care and it shows in everything they do. Marla is a BOSS who wears many hats and Paul works magic in that kitchen. I've never had a bad meal here. The steak is my go-to, and any of their fish dishes are phenomenal. If you haven't been for brunch, you're missing out--fresh squeezed juice for your mimosa, perfectly cooked eggs with some corned beef hash, and the pancakes are the best I've ever had. No visit is complete without the chocolate pot de crème for dessert. It's absolutely unforgettable. The Heron is a special place.

Last night I attended the first event of the 2014 Belleayre Music Festival - The Music of Queen…read more Getting there - it was incredibly easy and closer than I had expected. A straight drive out route 28 west. Signage on Rt 28 for the venue could be better. Parking - again very easy. Small venue so no parking nightmares. Getting in and out with no drama. Ticketing - computer was down when we got there. Technology issues happen. Food - BBQ stand was disappointing on several levels. More a grill than BBQ..hamburger, chicken breast, etc. Nothing special. Chicken sandwich was served on a bun with no lettuce, tomato, etc. They were incredibly unorganized and it showed. They had problems taking orders, giving them to cooks, no system for identifying who ordered what. I could have lied about what I ordered and paid for, and they would have believed me. They were stressed and some barked at customers. on several occasions they yelled at people for crossing to the side of the table which wasn't roped off. And the only garbage pail by BBQ was in that area. Concert - Intimate feeling. Venue so small that there aren't really any bad seats. Sound was clear and strong. Orchestra supporting the band was a nice touch. Really added depth to some songs - ex. Bohemian Rhapsody. Brought me back thirty years. I would definitely go back again. I would suggest bringing a sweatshirt as the temperatures do drop a bit at night and you are outside, though tented. unless you have lawn seats, in which case you are totally outside and should also bring a blanket and folding chair.

If you are in Woodstock, you MUST stop here and see a show. It may possibly change your life.

The Last Waltz is something I've watched many times…read more But for some reason, I didn't know anything about Levon Helm Studios or the Midnight Ramble until I arrived recently for a friend's birthday. Well, the Ramble and I made that birthday great. It's an amazing show in an amazing venue. They call it The Barn for a reason. All wood everywhere, it's an intimate show with seats all around, above and behind the stage. Apparently Levon designed and acoustically engineered the space himself, and it shows; the sound quality is phenomenal in here. I think any act would sound good in here, but the Ramble blew my mind. The musicianship is incredible. You'll watch people swap guitars for keyboards for drums and show startling prowess on all of them. They brought in all sorts of friends including Graham Lesh and Twisted Pine (the excellent opening act), and literally everyone could play, and sing, and just rock. With some of Levon's family in the band, you'll hear them play his music with real feeling and emotion, and watch them have a great time doing it. I can't recommend this show enough, and I would certainly come back to the venue as well. Be aware that they don't sell drinks and food, which isn't the worst thing in the world because you could pour half a bottle of vodka into into a water bottle with some powdered grape kool-aid because that's all you had on hand, and have a great time. In theory, I mean.

It was a Thursday so maybe things weren't as busy as normal but we showed up a little early and the back biergarten was open so we got some drinks as it was a nice spring afternoon. The bartender was very friendly and when we attempted to bring our drinks around front she let us know that we had to finish them first. The Venue itself reminded me a bit of the nearby Levon Helm studios in that it's an open space with a balcony overlooking everything and seating and standing room on the base floor. One thing I loved about this show is the sound was great. We sat stage left but the PA was subtly piping the DJ and guitar parts from stage right. It wasn't a huge crowd but people were having a good time with some standing room in front of the bar dancing etc. The bartenders were super attentive and responsive during the performance. I have been to Bearsville, Levon Helm and now Colony and I really feel lucky to have such intimate performance spaces somewhat locally. All of the staff were super friendly. Will be back for sure!

Bar was overflowed and took a long time to save everyone, I think no one expected the crowd of that size. Kitchen worked smoothly and food was bar quality but decent.
