Bernetta's Place Inn by the Lake — Hotel in Town of Gardiner

Found this B&B by accident searching for dog friendly places to stay. We were looking to get out of NYC for the Fourth of July and this was the perfect spot.| From the moment we arrived it was a pleasant experience. Bernetta met us when we arrived and told us about the grounds and showed us to our room, The Millbrook mountain suite.| Located in the main house, the suite is a mini apartment and was perfectly neat and clean. You enter into a fully equipped kitchen area and make a left to the hall leading to the bathroom, big living room and separate equally big king bedroom. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. Two homemade cupcakes awaited us in the kitchen and they were delicious.| The property is about 2 acres and fully fenced in if you’re bringing your dog. It is well manicured with many different flowers and shrubs throughout that add to the serenity of the property. Many areas to sit and chill and listen to nature. No horns, planes or traffic here.| Bernetta has fresh coffee brewing starting at 7 AM and a delicious, gourmet, homemade breakfast is served at 9AM on the deck. Breakfast changes daily and is always an experience. If there are any dietary restrictions, Bernetta will accommodate.| There is a large salt water pool with lounge chairs and shaded areas surrounding it. Pool towels are in the room.| Bernetta was very pleasant and knowledgeable about the area’s different trails, waterfalls and lakes. She is happy to help you with restaurant suggestions and make reservations for you. She also has a little very happy friendly dog named Lucia who welcomes you and your dog every chance she gets.| New Paltz with many different restaurants and shops and several wineries and lakes are a short drive away.| I highly recommend this B&B. It’s a quiet location, beautiful property situated close to everything with the nicest owner, Bernetta. It is a must visit and re-visit.| We will definitely be...

We were 3 couples going to Wallkill to celebrate one of the couple's wedding anniversaries. I happened upon Bernetta's Place via a google search and wow, what a find! This place is absolutely magical and Bernetta was an amazing host. She went above and beyond to find a restaurant for our celebration, because the original place they celebrated in years ago was closed. |The next morning, her breakfast was amazing. Bernetta served each course herself and her warm, wonderful personality made it a most enjoyable meal indeed. |It's almost impossible to adequately describe this home. We were in the Cantina, Carriage House and Millbrook Suite. All three were extremely comfortable and I can't begin to fully describe the attention to detail. Each space had so many whimsical touches, unique art pieces and cute little touches. You can definitely tell that this home is a labor of love for Bernetta. |And that brings me to the outside and grounds. Your local botanical gardens have nothing on this place! There was something fun to look at and explore no matter where you looked. And just when you thought you'd seen it all, you'd catch something new in the corner of your eye. And if you don't want to wander around by yourself, there is the most adorable little pup, Lucia who will show you around. |My friends are still thanking me for finding Bernetta's Place and we have already begun discussing when we can make a return trip. We're all an airline flight away, but that's just how special Bernetta's Place is. Treat yourself to this amazing place and this wonderful woman and little Lucia. You'll want to come back...

I cannot recommend this place enough. I came as a solo traveler with a dog and chose this bed-and-breakfast because of how dog friendly it was. The entire area is fenced in, and I felt very comfortable letting my dog roam around. There are plenty of chairs around so you can rest while the dogs explore and check out the different flowers, statues, etc. The patio was furnished well with tables, chairs, and rocking chairs. I stayed at the cottage, which came with its own patio, and had a kitchen, living space with a large TV, comfortable queen bed, and clean bathroom. I highly recommend it. I initially thought it was too much space for me and the dog, but it turned out to be great. Lots of space for the dog to roam around when it started to rain and it had a beautiful, bucolic environment.

I also chose this inn for the breakfast, and Bernetta did not disappoint. She makes everything by hand and you can tell how fresh it is. I was welcomed with two homemade and delicious chocolate chip cookies. She offered two types of coffee, a flavored coffee and a regular one, and breakfast came with a freshly baked good. I stayed for two days. Saturday had a savory breakfast, and Sunday had a sweet one. Both were delicious. To highlight how fresh everything was, Bernetta had chosen fresh apples local to the area for the sweet Sunday breakfast.

Bernetta is also an excellent host. She offered great tips and restaurant and activity recommendations. She’s easy to talk to and went out of her way to make my dog and I feel comfortable. She also has a beautiful and friendly dog that loves to play. My dog and I cannot wait...
