We selected this full-service Inn (located in picturesque Chestertown just beyond the NY Thruway, about 1 hour north of Saratoga Springs) to celebrate my husband’s birthday and our wedding anniversary during peak foliage season in mid-October.

DELICIOUS and unique menu choices for breakfast lunch and dinner, beautifully romantic and quiet setting, immaculate and individually decorated rooms, incredibly nice staff/waiters...this is by far the BEST bed and breakfast we have ever been too.

She had a lot to do that evening, and all of us in... More
