I don't quite know how to describe our getaway to Winter Clove Inn this December. My overall sense…read moreis that many guests are returning families, for whom Winter Clove Inn holds special nostalgic memories, and they love it here. However, new guests that are expecting a 5-star resort based on Google classification will likely be pretty disappointed. The main Inn is old and charming, but it and the adjacent property buildings are showing their age in a not-so-charming way. For example, two of our five guest rooms in Oak Lodge had broken heat, which the property was certainly aware of as they had placed space heaters in the rooms before our arrival. During our last day, there was no water at all in the Carriage House, so guests could not flush toilets or wash hands, even after bowling! Really basic features you would expect in even a roadside motel, such as tissues in guest rooms, were not provided. Toilet seats that needed replacing are mismatched, with oval seats on square front toilets, and the toilet cover in the main lodge was broken and not repaired during our stay. Despite being "pet-free," blankets smelled like dog. Despite the rustic accommodations, our family created our own fun together. Our reserved table in the dining room was uncomfortably tight for 13 guests, which was continually apparent during the slow food service. The amount of food at each meal was plentiful, but servers were poorly trained as they repeatedly failed to clear place settings from one course before bringing another course, and repeatedly miscounted orders bringing the incorrect number of soups, desserts, etc. Aside from some disappointing low points, such as the embarrassing frozen mixed vegetables being served as the "vegetable of the day," or uncut unripe honeydew wedges served as the fruit option, the meals were basic but acceptable fare.

I had an emergency (gas leak in my house) at 11:30 at night and needed to evacuate. Hesitantly I called the inn feeling terrible for the late night interruption. Tom could not have been kinder.

(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!

This is my third trip to Barn on the Pond. Every time it just gets more and more magical. This time…read morewe were 13 people for a three day birthday celebration. We arrived on Friday night and kicked things off with a barbecue on the terrace. Everything you need for an easy and fun cook up is on hand. Most of the group were new to BOTP and the Catskills and were in awe of both. The accommodations are more fabulous than they look in the already great photography on the website, and so comfortable. Everyone was happy and we spread out across the barn, airstream and cabin. I slept in the solarium with hubby. Now he wants us to upgrade to king size bed at home. Propped up on all the fluffy pillows and bolsters for my morning read surrounded by the verdant scenery was a balm for this New Yorker's psyche. Hubby also took an instant liking to one of the armchairs. This one room is so versatile. One of the writers in our group used the desk during the day. When you close the doors it is very very quiet. The couples in kitchen and master bedrooms respectively slept soundly, while the mezzanine crew were equally happy and at ease. The cabin peeps, a father and son, were thrilled to have their own separate digs and absolutely loved it. Two gal pals had the airstream and they too rested well . In short we were all in our happy place and were all able to really relax. Everything through out the property sings inspired human. As a group we felt so blessed and connected, free and flowing. When our Saturday morning attempt to leave and go swimming was thwarted by a deluge we just danced and practiced yoga in the rain. This was just happy sober. When the skies did clear in the afternoon some of us went swimming at a nearby lake, some went for a scenic drive and checked out a whiskey distillery and some just lounged. Barn on the Pond is amazing, a luxury immersion in nature, the service from the Team incredible, we will be back next year for another birthday and to host a meditation retreat.

Serena was so lovely and got me water, ice, some Benadryl cream, and even offered to drive me to urgent care (which is quite far) if I needed to go. When traveling on your own, it's so lovely to know someone has your back if something goes wrong. I went on several lovely bike rides around the hotel, which was a highlight. There's also a little creek right across the street that I took my dog down to wade around and cool off. I didn't get to use the pool because I was working most days but all the kiddos at the hotel were loving it. About a mile from Phoenicia Diner, which never disappoints. Martin, one of the hotel owners, was so lovely and checked in on me a few times. The rooms are clean and well appointed. And finally, I made a SUPER silly mistake and didn't realize that I booked an extra night. They didn't have to refund me at all...it was my mistake...but they did and I'm so grateful. This is my second time here, and I will be back!

The owners are two of the loveliest people I've ever met. They were so warm and kind during our stay, always asking us if we needed anything, offering advice for things to do in the area, and genuinely seeming to care about making sure we enjoyed ourselves. The place isn't called Arts Inn for nothing. It's enormous with lots of nooks and corners tastefully populated with artwork, plants, musical instruments, etc. We enjoyed all of the spaces available to guests, including our spacious and clean room, listening to music at night in the living room, and enjoying the morning sun on the giant front porch. There is even a stage out back for live music, and we'll have to come back sometime when there is music scheduled. My only complaint is the continental breakfast. It's definitely a balanced meal, and you won't go hungry, but it's not the hearty, homemade, hot breakfast you might find in other northeast B&B's. Overall we are very happy with this place and can definitely recommend it to others who come for a weekend getaway to the Catskills!

Clean and comfortable!…read more This inn, or B&B, was perfect for me. Guest room was large, very clean and the bed and pillows were very comfortable. The attached bathroom was clean, as well. Plenty of hot water. The breakfast was fresh and a great portion and variety, almost too much to eat in 1 sitting; but I'm a big eater and it was perfect. A wedge of Local cheese was included. The inn keepers were warm and friendly and gave me my space and privacy. I would stay again and would recommend. A+

For dessert the chef personally came out and let us know the options which I had the delight of trying the chocolate almond tart and the mini almond bundt cake with vanilla ice cream. I could tell immediately that the bundt cake had just come out of the oven. The chocolate almond tart was very rich and chocolatey delicious with homemade whipped cream. Dessert was my favorite part!
