She cooked breakfasts with eggs just gathered from the chickens that day, homemade muffins and pancakes. There are home made pies and snacks 24 hours a day.

Upon arrival I was met by Justine, our hostess for the weekend. After a warm welcome, she explained a few essentials [how to use the lock on the front door and the door to our room], gave us a tour or the house and answered any questions. The Bird Room was well equipped with a comfortable bed, TV, cable, DVD player [with an unbelievable selection of DVDs for the choosing in the hallway] as well as biscotti and a selection of chocolates from the local chocolatier. The large bathroom had a jacuzzi for two with a vast array of shampoos, conditioners and body wash. Fresh, clean scented towels, toothpaste, Q-tips, blow dryer... in other words, a very well stocked bathroom. A breakfast menu is given to guests to fill out to fill out picking your desired breakfast along with the time you'd like to eat. Upon entering the kitchen David Smythe - a chef and long-time instructor at CIA [Culinary Institute of America] is busy at work preparing the sumptuous meals. Justine, his wife, prepares a fresh fruit bowl for each person, sees to the guest's chosen morning drink and both provide the most friendly and knowledgeable conversation imaginable. Justine received her degree from Columbia in Hospitality Management. Although it was my first time there, I felt like I was staying with friends! The grounds are breathtaking.A large koi pond, and further down in the backyard there is a multi-level deck looking out over the preserve. For guests with children, there is a trampoline and an outdoor play gym. Although the Smythe's didn't miss a thing for the guest's enjoyment, I do have one suggestion. In the Bird Room, there is a large night table on one side of the bed and none on the other. It is difficult not to have a night table on 'your' side of the bed. Possibly removing the piece in the corner, and getting two smaller night tables would be something they might consider. Thank you for helping me have a wonderful weekend.

A koi fish pond to walk through and marvel at before you hit a giant smack of green for your heart to melt into. Find peace. Find yourself. Dig deep into your heart. Meditate. OHM. Ha. Yes. And now, to really dig the digs in simplier terms, the "Bird room" (in which we stayed) was perfect and cozy. Amazing bed and an even more amazing bathroom with a two top jacuzzi bath tub. Bubble hot bath soak two nights in a row before resting our tired city heads for the night. How wonderful. And now for the encore, dun dun dun. THE FOOD. I mean, of course, the FOOD! Gourmet breakfast,David Smythe is a chef/instructor at the Culinary Institute of America and Justine (hospitality queen/wife) is also a graduate of CIA so a powerful couple combined with a dope B&B, it's better than Disney World MAGIC. For breakfast, you get to choose and order the night beforehand on a very thorough breakfast menu. And they prepare your breakfast right when you arrive at your preferrred time to the kitchen. An experience you will not get anywhere else! They have a plate of the freshest sweetest fruits ever waiting for you when you arrive, along with your requested beverage(s)... for us coffee and orange juice. A pitcher of OJ just for you. MMMM. I wonder where they pick the fruits from. Hm. After that, they feed you a croissant (being that I ordered blueberry pancakes), i just stared at my dude begin to stuff himself. And ta da- BLUEBERRY pancakes with BACON. it was so amazing. I'm not fond of big pancakes as it gets dried quick. David Smythe perfected the mini mes with flaky airiness and crispy sides. MMMMM. And perfectly cooked bacon. HEAVENLY. the aroma will also knock you off your feet while you wait. So the next morning, I order it again! This place has been PERFECTION. NOM NOM NOM NOM. I will miss these pancakes til I come back again! Never have I ever! Crossing Clinton St Baking company off my bookmarked list. Forget that! Smythe House B&B is the way to go.

I've stayed in one or two other places in the area, and tried to find places for folks who are visiting, and the options are limited and never guaranteed that it will be a good experience. After staying at the church des artistes, I know where to refer people to stay. The building is beautiful and filled with character and charm. Make sure to reserve a room on the first floor if it's important to you that you have easy access to the bathroom. We stayed in the Library Room, which has its own en suite bathroom and a canopy bed with a beautiful lace curtain. The room was spotlessly clean. Right next door there is the "great hall" with a huge dinner table which would be great if you're looking to host a group - a fireplace, comfortable armchairs, and a chess set. The hosts were immediately available when we needed them but were not intrusive into our stay at all; it felt private, which is just what we were looking for. I didn't have a chance to try their breakfast but it sounded amazing. Another benefit of the library room is that the breakfast tea & coffee are placed right across the hall from your door in the morning! perfect for putting on one of the fluffy robes and grabbing a cup of coffee to bring back to the room. I accidentally left some personal items in the room. The hosts contacted ME to let me know they had found them and agreed to mail them to me!

Each room has a nice card stating coffee and tea served in the morning but on 2 of the 3 mornings nothing was available. During our 3 day stay, there was someone on the premises for about 30 minutes.

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.

Thank You for making my staycation special!…read more Even with everything going on, we had plenty to sightsee and places to go eat. The area is beautiful, it was a charming time of year with all the leaves and Autumn changes. Kingston itself is charming and historic as is the Forsyth itself. They had a contactless self-check in system that was great. But the innkeepers are nearby in case you need absolutely anything. The decor is modern to balance the nearly two hundred year old house. Everything was customized. Windows were left open to let in the cool autumn air. I chose a room with a bath tub so I could soak at the end of the day. Plenty of towels and blankets. Very comfortable bed. It was a little awkward having breakfast in the room but it was wonderful. Each day we had a tray overflowing with bowls of fruit, cups of orange juice, a baked treat of some sort and a gourmet main course. We had our own carafe of coffee and a set of mugs. It's worth a stay for the breakfast alone. There is ample to do in the area if you enjoy the outdoors and fine arts. Street parking was no issue. On our last day, we were able to shop at a farmers market in Kingston before going on a train ride.

The owners should be more forthcoming. Although the accommodations were extremely clean, the layout left a lot to be desired. As you enter the fist level, you encounter a vast, empty space that appears to be used for events, as evidenced a large folding table against one of the walls, and the patio lighting on the ceiling. The ONLY bathroom is also on this level. (Although nightlights are strategically placed, bathroom use in the middle of the night is at your own peril.) The extremely small shower would be a major challenge for anyone with claustrophobic issues. No vanity, just a sink. A small makeshift kitchen area with a small bar counter and a couple of stools sit right outside the bathroom. The "extremely narrow" spiral staircase leads upstairs to a sitting area and the bed. Although there is a safety disclaimer about mobility issues, children, and pets, the staircase is clearly NOT suitable for anyone of a robust nature. Although there was a TV, it was disconnected and on the floor. We had to move the desk and place the TV on it in order to see it. Oh, and no closets, just wardrobe racks. Fortunately, my husband and I are both agile seniors and our stay was only one night. For a longer stay, we assume the main house would be the way to go. The Barn Loft is better suited for youngsters who don't know any better or for private events.
