My husband and I recently stayed at the Washington Irving to check out the Catskill fall foliage. Overall the inn is beautiful. It's in a perfect location, off of a main road, but set back, so there was no street noise, and it's just minutes from Hunter and Windham Mountains. The common areas of the inn were beautifully decorated; I... More

The webpage offered "escape everyday life." Needing a place to get away to immerse myself in an online marketing workshop, I booked four days at the Washington Irving Inn, Hunter, NY. It was the perfect choice! The place is very clean, cosy-warm, quiet, good wifi connection, breakfast, near excellent restaurants and take-out. I made excellent progress on my project while... More

Pros: terrific breakfast, excellent service, lovely building. Cons: several windows in room 14 were missing blinds so we had bright light early in the morning. We wake up early so not a huge bother but definitely a con. Innkeeper said new blinds were on order. Overall, very nice place and great price. We'll stay again. More

I had the pleasure of staying at the Washington Irving Inn for two nights in October. Upon arriving I was immediately greeted by the innkeeper, Stefania. It was a chilly, rainy day, and she graciously prepared for me a cup of tea and some cookies. As I was the only guest that night, she found some time to sit with... More

My husband and I celebrated our daughter's 31st birthday here with her beau. We were welcomed warmly and immediately were happy with our choice. Stefania, the owner, was celebrating her 25th anniversary at the inn. She was generous to us by upgrading our rooms. The whole inn is large and charming. All the furniture and accessories are well appointed and... More

Just back from a lovely week at the Washington Irving Inn in the Catskills where it was warm but not the 120 degree heat index back home. The nights cool off nicely. And there's a pool! Our 6th visit to the Inn did not disappoint. When we arrived Stefania had tea for us- a 3-course tea! The breakfasts- those pancakes!-... More

When we drove up to this Inn, I gasped at how beautiful it was and once inside, thanked my husband for making this reservation. He elected to select a room that was not within the inn itself, but part of an add-on section. Even walking up to the room, I was struck at how beautiful the balcony and the grounds... More

I had a lovely stay at this beautiful inn during the Fall season. The attention to detail and personal touch was what differentiated this inn from others. I also liked the coziness, and the beautiful antiques. One evening I sat at the bar, chatting with the owner. She made me a cup of tea for my cough, although the kitchen... More

Just back from our annual winter stay at the Washington Irving and fell in love again. Truly wonderful to be able to escape the busy NY area and experience the old warm charm and comfort of a classic catskill lodge. The main lobby and library exude what is best about historic inn's and immediately relaxes you on arrival. Stephanie, our... More
