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.

Our room 9 had the sweetest, all-around views from the multiple windows both in our corner room & in the bathroom of all the greenery, flowers & lawns. Although breakfast is no longer offered as part of the room rate, we were "grandfathered in" by the super amenable, welcoming head chef, who, in large part, is the engine behind the hotel's managing group, because our room had been booked when the breakfast plan was still in existence. Our breakfasts were presented beautifully & by servers who were super friendly & engaging, as is the rest of the staff here. The pool had not yet been filled for the summer, so we enjoyed sunning on the pool deck, the sweet sauna, walks to the lake down below the property, played shuffleboard, billiards in the way-downstairs which has stone walls, low ceilings, a wine closet, board games & game table, as well as darts. The first floor library is cozy, filled with couches, upholstered chairs, books, coloring books & colored pencils & the in-house restaurant offers 3 meals a day, either in the beautifully outfitted & sunny dining room or on the back patio, alongside a rain barrel, herb garden, smoke house, fire pit & the grassy lawns. The owners & the hotel's hospitality group are working on upgrading & updating the facilities & its offerings & we applaud them for their efforts & plans. We are glad that we could fully enjoy this welcoming, beautiful old stone home & its equally welcoming staff. AND, we thank the head chef for the bottle of Prosecco that he gifted us! P.S. I think I saw someone moving a rolling chicken coop from one part of the property to another!

Pros: front desk and lobby staff is really friendly and helpful, just a block away from downtown Rhinebeck that has great shops and restaurants, facility is beautiful and clean. Room was spacious and had great attention to detail. The cons: the aqua terrace is very small and there are absolutely not enough loungers for everyone. Minimal seating all around. The bar service at the aqua terrace is mediocre. There was one server (perhaps understaffed that day) and we were ignored every time they came out to the terrace. Other guests were served, except us. Finally went up to the window and ordered cocktails, which were apparently canned drinks poured into a glass for $46, and they were terrible. Went to Willow for lunch the following morning, apparently it opens at 11:30, the entire place was empty, but it took them over 15 minutes to seat us. Weird, considering it was empty. Food was good, but had to rush at that point. Something with the food and beverage service was just off the entire time. We spent over $1,000 in food, drinks, and spa services (plus the actual room) - and was expecting a smoother experience.

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.

It was recently renovated by the super cool owners, Petra and Louis, and is a brand 'new' venue in the area." It seemed rather small, but was the perfect size for their wedding (although, the way the tables were set up left very little room for dancing...). They have a stage in one corner, behind which was a curtained-off area they had set up as a photo booth. And in another corner is an actual bar. On the walls are old posters from what I think was a cement company? Not sure if these were part of the wedding or part of the venue... Throughout the venue are awesome glass wall sconces, which I'm sure were created when it was a glassblowing studio. The same for the little glass circles in the cement at the entrance to kitchen. Petra and Louis were very friendly. They had a cocktail hour in the little park behind the venue and we had arrived early. I had to go to the bathroom, and despite the rule that you had to go around front, they could tell I had to go and they let me go in through the kitchen. :) Overall, I would describe it as "unique and intimate."
