You have to come and see for yourself the hours of shaping stones with hand tools to be an outdoor art piece that is beautiful to see, walk around to enjoy. There are park benches around where you can sit and enjoy a snack and take in all the different levels of this outdoor artwork. The entry to the park includes a road that you have to share with in/out traffic. Drive slowly and turn out if needed to let the other traffic pass. Be patient and you will enjoy the beautiful outdoors. Cost: $11 online. In person is $1 extra Tip: 1) Purchase tickets online. As we were leaving there was a sign that said park at full capacity and only those with pre-purchased tickets were allowed into the park. 2) Main parking lot can get full fast. It wasn't until after we parked and went to the ticketing office there was a sign for overflow parking. 3) I did not see a bathroom anywhere, so plan accordingly.

If you stay here you get to use the amenities at the Waterside Spa for free during your stay. It's a 14 minute walk or a 3 minute drive. You can order room service from the restaurant if you're into that but I recommend walking up Partition Street for food and shopping. I liked waking up early, getting a quick bite from their continental breakfast in the lobby, and then heading down to their wooden walkway to get closer to the waterfall under the bridge. The walls are kinda thin and the restaurant is very meh but overall a great relaxing experience. You can even leave your car in the parking lot after you checkout if you still want to do things locally.

Actually, it's been there for 11 years. Perfect location. Just off the main area, but within walking distance to town. If you do stay here, try to get a room that faces the waterfall. Also, take the wooden walkway down to the base of the falls. We started out our morning doing so, and it was quite scenic. The rooms are big, but the walls are paper thin. Expect to hear chatter, like we experienced at 6am. Continental Breakfast was abundant with muffins, cereal, coffee and juice. -The Waterside Spa- My wife signed us up for a Couples Massage, in the middle of the afternoon. But we headed over early. Great place to lie out on the deck to catch some rays and relax. Take a soak in one of their small pools or try the sauna if you dare (at one point it was 190 degrees) The massages were nice, however the "Hot Stone" one was a little too gentle for me. You can actually spend all day here. They have a lot of places to nest, as well as a cafe. Just a 3 minute car ride. -Blackbarn Restaurant- Connected to the hotel, with the same stunning views and a great interior is "Blackbarn" After reading about the amazing and award winning chefs, I was excited to eat here. But disappointment quickly took over. My chicken tasted like it was marinated in vinegar, and the Vegetable Lasagna was made in a microwave. We ordered 2 desserts that we sent back. The pastry chef needs to be fired. This restaurant sucks.

Run, Don't walk from this rental…read more I am completely mortified by my experience renting this property from Kimberly. My wife and I rented it for our wedding. The entire process up to the wedding, and after, was very painful. She kept our deposit in full, claiming damages that were pre-existing. Our wedding planner, who also was our caterer, said that she was one of the most difficult people that he had ever worked with. Lets start from the beginning. Kimberly makes major demands while being completely unresponsive. We had to reschedule meetings over and over because of her, each time she only would only provide narrow windows where she was available. When I took a day off of work to do an onsite inspection with the florist and caterer, she did not even show up. She was the one that demanded the meeting. Here is where the nightmare begins. Kimberly was adamant that we get extra "cancellation" insurance for the event. We did not know why we needed it but we politely refused as our caterer/planner had great insurance. The day of our wedding the neighbor came over and said that our event was illegal and he planned to have it shut down. He said that it was Saugerties city ordinance that all rentals in town need to be for a week minimum and that we did not have a permit for an outdoor event as required. So Kimberly rented us the house for an event that was not allowed by the city of Saugerties unless you have a permit. No mention was made of this, but cancellation insurance was pushed on us hard. The neighbor had expressed that had had continued problems with Kimberly. The weekend was a rainy one and it is a country property. It was very hard to keep the floors clean and there were no door mats, only a tattered vintage rug which we pulled up and stored. There was no place for the wedding party to wipe their feet as they came in and out -- all others were kept out of the house. At the end of the weekend we took extra care to clean the house and floors. We spend 6 hours as a team to assure that the house was back to its original state using Pinesol and Myers floor cleaner (provided in the cleaning closet). When we asked the housecleaner what we should do with the extra food on checkout she said "Kimberly does not like any evidence that anyone has been on the property" so she threw the food out. I knew that I was in trouble at that point as KImberly has a maniacal sense of cleanliness. We paid an exorbitant rental rate and a huge event fee. Here is her list of charges she wanted to deduct from our deposit sent by her. Cleaning and waxing of floors $953.26 Porch floor staining/sanding $1200.00 Missing bowl $200.00 New rug $611.19 Cleaning $500-$285 $215.00 Firewood $50.00 TOTAL $3229.45 Kimberly had said that we had left circular scratch marks on the floors indoors and left the floors in a terrible state. I noticed the circular scratches when I arrived and asked the housecleaner about them. They were in various parts of the house and deck and they looked like someone had twisted a large potted plant to the floors leaving circular scratches. The housecleaner said that they had been there for a while. Kimberly also said that the Myers floor cleaner we used, from under the sink, had dulled the floors. I reminded her that it was a very wet weekend and that there were no floor mats and that the wedding party had no choice but to track in some dirt from outside. The driveway is made of a fine grey gravel and that brought a lot of silt into the house. She also accused us of having brought the wedding party into the house once the music was stopped, and had a rave in her basement. She said a neighbor knew one of our guests and told her. When I asked her to corroborate the story with the name of my guest or the neighbor she could not produce any details. Kimberly also told me that all people that came and went should have used the mud room in the back of the house. Can you believe that she expected all of the wedding party and event planners and vendors to all use the mudroom and remove their shoes!. So Kimberly FABRICATED this circular scratch damage and threatened to have us pay to refinishing all the floors. She said that the floors on the porch were damaged and soiled. When I pointed out that we were allowed to use the porch for the wedding and that it was a rainy weekend, she had no good answer. Kimberly also charged us for a bowl that had gone missing. She kept pressing this point until I told her that I knew that she found the bowl. She then immediately said that she had found the bowl. So she was charging me for a bowl that she had found -- not really good by any measure. I would run from this rental.

From the moment we arrived, the team made us feel so welcome, ushering us to an awesome table on their inviting patio so we could dine with our dog. The service only got better from there. Our server, Grace, was phenomenal. We were debating between small and large plates and asked for her advice on portions. Usually, servers just push you to order more, leading to a table full of wasted food. Grace did the exact opposite--she guided us perfectly and honestly advised against adding another side dish. She was 100% right on the mark. Thank you. Absolutely every single dish was a "wow"--piping hot, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor: ----Tteok Bokki ($18): I had seen this on many Korean menus and this was my first time trying Korean rice cakes, and I'm so glad I did. A wonderfully spicy, cheesy, chewy combo with melted raclette. --Crispy Wild Shrimp & Shishito ($24): Another spicy, delectable hit with a great sweet-and-savory balance. --Moo Shu Mushroom & Vegetables ($30): Delicious and fresh--the perfect mild counterpoint to the heavier, spicy dishes. --Crispy Panko Chicken Katsu ($32): We're still talking about how incredible this was. Definitely on the higher end price-wise, but given the stellar food, ambiance, and great service, well worth it. If we lived locally, Goodnight would be on our regular rotation.

We were pleasantly surprised to see how many people were there that night, which helped contribute to the atmosphere. The staff was incredibly nice and attentive. We started with the Tteok Bokki and Crispy Wild Shrimp with Shishito peppers. We also got the Bibimbap and the Vietnamese steak frites. The flavors throughout this meal were well developed and delicious. The Tteok Bokki was so special and cheesy and delicious. Almost like a chewy rice noodle Asian Mac and cheese vibe. The wild shrimp dish was great. The components were all great, what was super surprising was how amazing the shishito peppers were. It was the best bite of that dish, which is saying a lot. The mains were equally as good. The flavors were all there. The steak was tender and delicious. The bibimbap was so good. We happily took home our leftovers. Overall, it was a great experience. It was a good price, given how well everything was executed, and I would happily come back either just for cocktails and apps or for the full meal.

The bar has fun cocktails both in the mansion and at the pavilion. The food was PHENOMENAL. My favorite was the truffle fries. They actually used real shaved truffle on top instead of just truffle oil like a lot of other places, so I appreciate the commitment to the craft. Complimentary breakfast was *chefs kiss*. Fun night time hangout at the fire pits with s'mores and brick oven pizza all night. I need to come back and stay in those cabins, I stayed in the mansion and it was the best sleep I've had in months. But you know what the stand out feature was? The staff.
