Absolutely a night of classic elegance and decadent food. We arrived 30 minutes before our reservation to sit at the bar and have a pre-dinner cocktail. We each had an old fashioned, which were excellently made by the very friendly bartender. The bar area was small and intimate with small side areas with high top tables, couches and armchairs. We could have happily spent all night in this area. We were later seated in the restaurant area and had another round of drinks, an appetizer (roasted pork terrine) and two entrees (chicken Milanese and the lamb shoulder ragu). Each dish was rich and flavorful. Great food, great service, beautiful building and grounds. Easy 5 start review.

For starters we had their incredible house-made Parker house rolls with cultured butter garnished with salt and thyme. They came ripping hot out of the oven with the perfect flaky texture. These could've be served at the best steakhouses in NYC for how perfect they were. We also had the Caesar salad and ricotta and spinach dumplings. We were particularly pleased with the dumplings which were accompanied by tender baby hakurei turnips. We split the Wagyu burger with crispy, pressed fries for our entree. The burger was juicy and topped with caramelized onions and tangy thousand island sauce. Dessert was a spectacular sticky toffee pudding which was perhaps the best sticky toffee pudding we've ever had. It was generously portioned and swimming in toffee sauce. We had an awesome meal here and Shandaken Inn has quickly risen to one of our favorite restaurants in the Catskills

The character at this place is off the charts! It definitely has a vintage appeal, but I am talking authentic vintage like the chairs may have been used by the builder back in 1790! These guys haven't been sourcing vintage items on eBay to outfit the place and when you meet the crew that runs it you will understand what I mean. They are working around the clock to cook breakfasts, clean rooms, mix drinks and prep dinner. For the price I found it to be an amazing experience! The room was extremely cozy, the bar was welcoming, and somehow they kept the carpets clean all weekend despite salt, sand, and snow the whole time we were there. Abby was so kind and handled our every request from Breakfast to bar to the Saturday night Buffet dinner which was incredible!!! The whole town shows up on Saturday nights for it and I understand why! The bread pudding alone is worth the price of admission which is pennies!! They offer discount lift tickets at Belleayre and it was a short drive to Phoenicia, the Peek-a-moose restaurant (highly recommend), and literally 1.5 miles to Belleayre.

A special thank you to Chuck for making our Mother's Day weekend even more memorable than we could have imagined. From the cookies and coffee to the kids' welcome packets, every detail reflected warmth and care. We could not imagine a more family-friendly and welcoming experience.

First the good: the property is gorgeous. Nestled on the side of the eponymous hill in the village of Pine Hill, NY. It features several cabins and two vintage airstream trailers, a central green space with a fire pit, a communal lodge and an outdoor hot tub. It's a five minute drive to Belleayre Mountain and a five minute walk down the hill to the downtown area of Pine Hill with a few restaurants. True rustic Catskills coziness. My girlfriend and I stayed for two nights during a weekend in February when everything was buried under a foot of snow. A gentleman named Matty found us as soon as we drove in and was incredibly friendly, but that was the last of any employees we saw during the weekend. To the bad: I would not recommend cabin 8. It's a single room with bathroom and shower (no bathtub) at 175 total square feet. My girlfriend and I are not big people and don't mind a small room, but maybe just not for a weekend of skiing/snowboarding as we discovered. With so much equipment and barely any space to put it all save for one bench and a few wall hooks, it's just not ideal. The water pressure in the shower was depressing, especially after a full day on the slopes. At one point in my shower it slowed to a dismal trickle, presumably affected by the sinks/showers in the rooms next door. Cabin 8 has neighbors on nearly all sides. We shared an entrance with those in cabin 7 and could hear them clomping in and out in the evenings/mornings, and could hear them easily through the walls even though they were talking at a reasonable volume. We were bummed that the hot tub was closed all weekend as that had been one of the big draws for us in the first place - the possibility of relaxing after skiing all day. The temperature dropped to -15°F in the night so we understand why it was closed. A fire was set up on Friday night, but the fire pit was too big and the fire too small to make sitting in the chairs comfortable. We had to stand in the fire pit itself two inches from the fire to stay warm. Eventually we got tired of standing and went back to our room. The lodge is definitely nice with its pool and foosball tables. The website mentions an air hockey table, but this was not in the lodge when we visited. A sign on the lodge advertised croissants, bagels and coffee for sale on Sunday between 8 and 11, but when we stopped in at 10:30 the whole place was empty with the lights off. We never did get to see the gift shop as it was closed all weekend. So... not terrible. But at $398 for the two nights, I just don't feel like we got our money's worth. We love the Catskills and might give the place another try if we come back to do some hiking in warmer weather.

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.

There were four of us in the car coming for dinner, and I believe we exclaimed collectively: wow. First impression did not disappoint. It was a freezing evening and we hurried inside. Another 'wow'. The check in area for the hotel is like an office space in any Mid-Century Modern fanatic's home - or, they wish it was. Just terrific. We were seated by the large windows overlooking the grounds. I could not get enough of the clean, purposely unfinished blonde wood, big windows, yet the amazing cozy feeling you got inside from the couches and other decor. Not only can you come for a dinner but plant your butt for the day with a book or computer and just start with a tea, work your way to coffee, and at noon just go for the cocktails. Nothing wrong with that. Like I said, there were four of us and it seemed we ordered one of each items on the menu - a total of 9 dishes. Everything came superbly finished and seasoned - no objections or comments from anyone other than praise. We split 2 desserts, and we had 6 drinks to the table. The maple squash was particularly finger-licking-delicious, as was the beet salad. At the end of our meal we had the pleasure to meet one of the co-owners of the establishment, Bjorn. Super nice guy who told us the story of the beginnings and how the place came about. We left full, happy, and couldn't stop talking about the resort all the way home. The bill, with tip, came out to be $400. I will definitely come back and I can't wait what else will be added to the Dandelion menu.

Eastwind Oliverea Valley - Beautiful Setting, But Not Worth the Price…read more Overall: 2.5/5 Eastwind Oliverea Valley has a beautiful natural setting, attractive rooms, and some nice amenities, but at $500-$600 a night, the experience fell short of expectations. There were definitely some highlights, but also enough disappointments that I'm not sure we'd return. Parking: 3/5 Arriving was confusing. Many people, including us, turned left and ended up at a dead end before having to turn around and head right into the parking lot. There are lots of trees to navigate around, which makes parking a little tricky. They do have a ChargePoint charger and a Tesla destination charger, which is a nice perk for EV owners. Rooms: 1/5 The rooms are attractive, both inside and out, but the construction feels cheaply done. We stayed in a king room with a loft, with neighbors on both sides and six rooms behind us. The property is tucked away from the main road in such a peaceful, beautiful setting, so I expected a quiet, relaxing stay. Unfortunately, we could hear people stomping around and talking, and some guests left their dogs unattended in their rooms, resulting in barking. The noise was particularly disappointing given how serene the surroundings are. For $500-$600 a night, I expected much better soundproofing, privacy, and overall comfort. Restaurant: 4/5 The on-site restaurant was a highlight. The menu is small, but the food was delicious, and they accommodated us as vegans. It was great to have a good dining option right on the property. Cocktails: 2/5 Unfortunately, the cocktails were disappointing and didn't live up to the food. Amenities: 4/5 The heated pool and sauna options are nice perks. You can reserve a private hour in either the infrared sauna or the heated sauna. We enjoyed having the option to relax in a private sauna, which was a nice touch. Location: 2/5 The property is close to hiking at The Ledge, which is a plus for outdoor enthusiasts. However, getting to the breweries and nicer restaurants in Woodstock takes roughly 39-40 minutes by car, so keep that in mind if you plan to explore the area. Connectivity: 3/5 There is no cell service in the area, so be prepared to disconnect. Fortunately, the Wi-Fi worked well throughout the property, including the grounds. Staff & Service: 3/5 The staff were super friendly, but it could sometimes be difficult to find someone since they were often out around the grounds. Everyone we interacted with was pleasant, but having staff readily available wasn't always easy. Price / Value: 2/5 At $500-$600 a night, I found the experience overpriced. I'd feel much better about the value closer to $350 a night. For the price, I expected better construction quality, soundproofing, and an overall more comfortable stay. Final Thoughts Eastwind has a lot of potential. The peaceful setting tucked away from the main road, attractive rooms, good restaurant, and enjoyable amenities are all appealing. Unfortunately, the noise from neighboring rooms completely contradicted the tranquil atmosphere the property seems to promise. If we were to return, we'd want to book a full cabin rather than a room in a shared building, hoping for more privacy and a quieter stay. However, with rates of $500-$600 a night, I'm still not sure the experience would justify the price. I'm glad we tried it, but we'd have to think carefully before booking again.

After countless stays in soulless corporate hotels, this lovely establishment is an absolutely…read moreterrific change for us. This tiny drive-up motel is a genuine throwback to an earlier, simpler age, but with enough updates to please the modern traveller. The suites are fresh and clean, the beds are exceedingly comfortable, the kitchenette is basic but cheery, the bathroom spotless and bright. Not everything is perfect, but this really only adds to the charm. The proprietors clearly love their facility and want to impart some of this to you! My favorite amenities were the luxurious lanai in the back yard, the grill (one for each suite!), the blue and green lighting, and of course the location in the heart of the Catskills. If you want a five-star, starched, concrete-and-glass experience, this is not for you.

(Cross posted to Trip Advisor.)…read more My husband and I just returned from a long Thanksgiving weekend away at the Woodstock Country Inn. From my first night there I was already wondering when we could come back. The house itself is lovely, and each room has a private porch or terrace. It's so peaceful and quiet and set back from the road by a long driveway, so it feels like a true retreat. We opted for the White Room, mainly for the king-size bed, and we loved it. Even though it was cold, we spent a good deal of time on the terrace just gazing at the mountain vista. I've been to yoga retreats where I didn't feel as serene and relaxed as I did on this trip. Also, if you have allergies, this is THE PLACE to book. I have really terrible allergies to dogs, cats, etc. and when I looked at the reviews for other Woodstock B&B's, almost all of them mentioned a proprietor's cats and/or dogs or being dog-friendly. I was so thrilled that this B&B is known for being hypoallergenic and not allowing pets. I knew I wouldn't have to deal with down pillows or comforters either, to which I'm also terribly allergic. The bed linens were clean without that antiseptic/bleach smell that's also an allergy trigger for me. I just felt super comfortable the whole time, which is so rare for me at any hotel or B&B. Carol, the owner, is absolutely lovely and a treat to talk to. I'd honestly love to spend more time with her and hear more about her life. And her assistant Tara (also lovely and a treat to talk to) made us a wonderful breakfast each morning, even picking up my requested goat cheese for my omelette! The drive into town is about 10 minutes or less, so you get the fun of being close to Woodstock with the serenity of a set-back farmhouse in Bearsville. We definitely want to come back in the summer when the saline pool is open!
