Best Inns And Bed And Breakfasts In The Hudson Valley New York

While visiting the Hudson Valley in New York, which stretches from the northern tip of Manhattan to Albany, choose to stay at a family-run B&B, or check into a traditional inn near points of interest like the Bear Mountain State Park, Storm King Art Center and Kaaterskill Falls. Here are some of the best to choose from.

1. Caldwell House Bed and Breakfast

Bed and Breakfast

Originally built by Irishman John Caldwell in 1802, this Hudson Valley inn remains proud of its rich heritage two centuries later. The games room is stocked with a Victorian melodeon and backgammon, the three-course breakfast comes with an Irish blessing on the menu and the tranquil rooms are named after important Irish locations. Better still, Loughran’s Irish Pub is right next door, so you never need to go far for a night out.

2. The Arbor Bed and Breakfast

Bed and Breakfast

Get away from it all at the Arbor, an idyllic country retreat in the hamlet of High Falls owned by horticulturist and garden designer Nancy Greenwald. Rooms are bright and airy with shared bathrooms and no TVs. A breakfast of fruit, eggs and coffee is served at a communal table. Guests are welcome to wander the immaculate garden bursting with blooms. Hiking and climbing trails at the Mohonk Preserve and Minnewaska State Park are just minutes away, too.

3. The 1850 House Inn and Tavern

Inn

Packed with vintage decor and evocative black-and-white photography, the 1850 House transports guests back to its 19th-century heyday without compromising on sleek, contemporary interiors. Foodies are well catered for, too, with hearty breakfasts served on the shaded deck overlooking the river, and a popular restaurant dishing up melt-in-the-mouth crab cakes and indulgent mac and cheese smothered in truffle oil.

5. Black Creek Bed and Breakfast

Bed and Breakfast

Expect to feel pampered from the moment you arrive at this luxurious B&B in Highland, New York. Guests are greeted with welcome gifts, shown to rooms filled with original artwork, 500-thread Egyptian cotton sheets and high-end bath products and invited to explore the property’s own hiking trail or unwind in the hot tub. Breakfast is similarly lavish, offering everything from chocolate-dipped strawberries to buttery treats baked by the on-site pastry chef.
