Really great. This place should not be called Inn At…read moreTwaalfskill. It should be called The Nancy Show. I say that in the most respectful way and only mean to say that I'm guessing the whole shebang would be next to nothing without her touch, her oversight and her attention to detail. The detail in the rooms, the perfection at breakfast, the lovingly manicured grounds, assorted wonderful nooks... at first I was wondering what there is to DO in Highland and, to be honest, I'm still not sure... but given the bike path, beautiful scenery and Inn At Twaalfkill, I'm not sure what else you need. I'm not always a fan of B and Bs... they can tend to be a little twee and you feel like you have to tiptoe around... partially because the walls in a good hotel are much thicker, the spaces less cramped, your anonymity more protected. There may be a bit of that tip-toeing here (the floors are pretty squeaky and you are worried that you are making too much noise for someone on a different sleeping schedule) but that is the only downside. We had just spent two nights in a pretty nice hotel in Beacon. The room was over 50% more expensive than here and, while large enough, there was not one square foot of horizontal space to put anything down in the bathroom.... The room at Inn at Twaalfill had so much guest-friendly space (especially in the bathroom), you would not likely have a use for all of it. If all B&Bs were this great and this price, I would never stay anywhere else.

This is our favorite place to stay. Nancy is a warm and welcoming host, and she makes every stay…read moreextra special! Everything is impeccably clean. Breakfast is a culinary delight of the senses. The rooms are comfortable and well appointed. The common areas welcome you to sit in the sunroom, by the fire, or in a private outdoor nook to read, have a drink, or watch a thunderstorm or some softly falling snow. Tea, water, Nespresso, and coffee are always available along with some delectable baked delight. Nancy is always full of great ideas for things to do and places to eat. A walk or bike on the nearby rail trail to the river is always beautiful. This is our place to reset, recharge, and relax.

Just came back from a family vacation at the ranch. First time there (since I was a little kid) and…read morewe had an amazing time! Loved the all-inclusive aspect and the fact that we could do a little at a time and hang out in the room whenever we wanted. Sports and games all over the property makes it easy to have fun, plus lots of places to relax. The food was delicious and the staff was super helpful and friendly.

If you were to choose between Rocking Horse Ranch and Great Wolf Lodge, it's an easy choice. Yes,…read moreRocking Horse Ranch is more expensive but there is an endless amount of activities for the kids to do. We came on the coldest weekend of the year but my kids had a blast skiing, snow tubing, horseback riding, pony rides, arcade, game room, playing laser tag, swimming in the pool, the outdoor hot tub, and the nightly shows. Food is included in the price and it is buffet style for breakfast and lunch. Dinner is not but you are more than welcome to order more and take things to go. There's snacks available between lunch and dinner but there's also hot chocolate/coffee available all day long with some pastries. The only downside were the rooms. They are connected so if you have loud neighbors, you won't be getting good sleep. Overall, my kids loved the place and want to go back soon. I guess we'll have to wait for another Black Friday deal.

For all outward appearances the hotel is nice. No pool though. The staff is friendly and helpful,…read morethe room was clean. Good size bathroom. Complimentary breakfast is just ok, but it is something to eat. My primary complaint is that we paid weekend rates and our room was never serviced. Got back from a long day out sightseeing to dirty towels, unmade bed etc. I had to go to the front desk to ask for clean towels. I wasn't able to reach the front desk via phone, it just rang busy. I also realize the screaming kids next door weren't their fault but I couldn't call the desk to complain. Not sure we will stay here again without a compelling reason.

Room was clean and spacious; we had a 2 queen bed with sofa on the 2nd floor. Plenty of parking and they had breakfast. Front desk lady who checked me in was friendly. They don't have an elevator so if stairs are a no go then you'd want to request a room on the first floor. The door by the stairs is exit only which was inconvenient since you had to walk around in the parking lot and enter through the lobby. There was a card reader on the outside of the door so they should consider fixing it so it can be used as an entrance. Coffee in the lobby was weak in flavor, very light. Breakfast options were limited. Only hot options were microwaved eggs and bacon and you can toast English muffin. A waffle maker would have been nice. Since they don't have a gym, there wasn't a water fountain in the hotel. While they did have a pitcher of water, it was small and not really effective for the whole hotel to use.

I wish I had better things to write. I was gifted a gift card to Buttermilk Inn. When I went to use…read morethe gift card, there was an issue because the internal system the gift card was purchased on was no longer their system--okay fine. The manager issued me a replacement that was good for 30 days, meaning that I could book on that new system for up to 30 days. I tried---Lord did I try! First, I tried to book on the website which was down. Then I called in an was told that they couldn't book for me since the "manager wasn't in an wouldn't be able to honor the gift card until she was in". I wrote an email and got ZERO response. Zero. I called again and nobody picked up to the extent that I ended up calling the spa to ask if the place was even still in business. I tried every other day until the 30 days expired. I am pretty sad about this since I have the timestamped emails, the original gift card, and I tried to book on both the website and by calling and by requesting a reservation via email. It was an unfortunate waste of a $300.00 gift card. I don't think this is an ethically run establishment, especially after they refused to honor the original gift card as well as the 'replacement'.

Downsides were that the hot tub was closed and the breakfast the next morning tasted fine. But it was empty. Had to keep asking for a refill of food. As they had one person working on it.

The parking lot and lobby were very clean and we noticed the breakfast room was large and had lots of light.

Everything was neat and clean, each bed had 4 nice soft pillows. I went downstairs to ask a few questions and the cookies were just being brought out.

So they gave us a two queen non smoking which was fine. After reading some of the reviews I got concerned to check for BED BUGS and sure enough we found one under the bed as well as candy wrappers and HUGE stains on the side of the bed frame. If this wasn't bad enough there were stains on the bed sheets. I went downstairs to ask to be moved to another room and the concierge said he only had smoking available. It was upsetting to me that he would suggest that because upon check in he specifically told me "I wouldn't recommended the smoking room for you if you aren't a habitual smoker". Sure enough I checked the smoking room and I absolutely could not sleep in that type of environment and it was also disgusting. I was not given a refund for this inconvenience and ended up driving 3 hours back home because there were no other options. I plan to fight this and received a refund because this is completely unacceptable!!!!!!!

They made a mistake in our reservation so can't give 5 stars. Basic place to rest your head.

We stayed three nights. The purpose of our trip was to see family, attend the Dutchess County Fair…read moreand to see some local sights. The breakfast at the Inn was included and was very attractively and cleanly set out but was not special. For some reason a reviewer raved about the breakfast there. It was not so different from other locations in the US. The room was very spacious, very clean with a beautiful view of the upper 1/3 of the CIA and the mountains beyond. Really pretty. In contrast to the large room, the bathroom was rather small. The toilet was behind the door. The water pressure in the shower was very low - obviously intentional as the sink water blasted out when the faucet was opened. It's sad to see how the Covid practice of limiting daily room maintenance has become a standard practice. And the cost of a stay has gone skyward. This hotel adds $10 per night for parking! That is a big time nickel and dime act. Would I stay there again? No. For the price charged, I'd rather stay in Rhinebeck. The front desk was polite as would be expected.
