House description:
As anyone who’s tried it can attest, owning a historic home can be a challenging proposition. Repairs, renovations, and updates are all pretty common, but they’re balanced out by the charm and character that time and history can impart. It definitely takes a certain kind of person, and what better way to find out if that’s you than staying in a bed and breakfast in one of the oldest homes in Ulster County? The original home was built all the way back in 1710, and so predates even the United States by several decades. Many original features were lovingly preserved, including a “1750s second summer kitchen with its beehive oven and cauldron that swings out, and there are wide plank floors, exposed beams and lime washed stone walls.” Accommodations are for a single room, but with it’s own bathroom it affords some privacy. Give this historic home a shot and see how it suits you!

Sample reviews:
Our stay with Nadia and Sam was really fantastic. The house is charming with a lot of interesting touches. We’ve stayed at lots of bed and breakfasts, but this truly went above and beyond. The room was cute and although the bathroom was down the hall, we were provided with bathrobes for convenience. Everything was extremely clean and comfortable. The room was quiet for a very peaceful nights sleep. Also, the breakfast was absolutely fantastic! The food is all homemade (bread, granola, pancakes, eggs, etc.) and it keeps coming and coming! They also provide cookies and coffee/tea all day long. I highly recommend this if you want a relaxing weekend away in a historic house with great hiking and nature nearby.
