We had initially planned on a 2 night stay, which we ended up extending to 5 nights since it was SO beautiful!
Although we initially booked a different room, Karen recommended a more appropriate room (Room 18) that was perfect for our family of 4.Two separate clean rooms separated by a short corridor, with a well furnished kitchen, and a clean bathroom with a stand-alone bath tub. The bigger room had a king bed and a faux fireplace, and the other had two twin beds. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils required for our short stay, a microwave,a large fridge+freezer, and a conventional oven.
Both rooms had TV,which afforded us a few extra mins of sleep in the morning as our kid enjoyed screen time in their room.
Our family spent many hours enjoying the stream which runs right in front of the property, and the hammocks beside the stream. My partner and I spent evening hours on the hammocks admiring the clear skies and constellations, and debating the whole meaning of existence. There was a heated open space on the front lawn.
The whole family had fun exploring the quaint little town, and talking with the very friendly and quite artistic people.
Activities-wise, we enjoyed exploring short trails at the Kenneth L. Wilson Campgrounds and the Ashokan Reservoir. The 12 miles of the Asokan reservoir trail seemed a great place to bike.
Restaurants abound, some with dine-in (Yum Yum Noodles, Garden Cafe). We found some authentic Indian food nearby ( Namaste Indian Restaurant) , and some authentic Sushi with dine-in (Tumo) within a 20 min drive.
There was an interesting bookstore, a well-stocked, great-smelling pharmacy and ( most importantly) ice cream stores within walking distance.
Overall, the inn made for a great stay and was a wonderful break from the anxieties of the pandemic.
If you're looking to kick back, relax and breathe some fresh air (through your masks when in company), this is the place!
If you're looking for peace and quiet, no-frills-attached,...
Read moreThis will be a positive review, & for it to be useful I think I need to explain what my wife & I look for in a hotel. The top priorities are location & cleanliness, & the "Woodstock Inn on the Millstream" checks both boxes nicely. Only a couple of "blocks" away from the town center, the rooms are always very clean, & can pass by a white glove inspection. The people there are always nice, & the breakfast offered is quite adequate. Perhaps fans of elaborate breakfast offerings including eggs & meats might not be impressed, but for those of us avoiding unhealthy food, this is not much of a compromise. My wife & I being vegan, we appreciate that the butter substitute "Earth Balance" is available, & 3 different types of nut milks well. But the pièce de résistance of the breakfast experience is the area outside of the office, where tables & chairs are strewn around a nice garden overlooking the Millstream. I can think of no better way to start a day, sitting there w/ loved one or a good book, or both, & sharing some bread pieces w/ the adorable chipmunks. It can be a bit buggy - emphasis on " a bit." I sat there for quite some time 2 mornings in late August, & all I saw were a few ants, & the occasional spider - tiny mind you. Ants clear away the crumbs w/o bothering anyone, & if you are not fond of flying insects, spiders are your friends. It is a wonderful experience, & my wife & I cannot wait to return. Breakfast by the stream, lunch & dinner @ the wonderful "Garden Café" about 1/3 of a mile away by the Village Green... You...
