Our REI Adventures ice climbing groups stayed with Stephania two consecutive weekends this winter. After long and strenuous days climbing frozen waterfalls at nearby spots in the Catskills, it was fantastic to be able to retreat to the warm and cozy Washington Irving Inn. There are restaurants and pubs close by for dinner and socializing. Stephania also has a small... More

Wonderful historic place, run by the warmest of hosts.

Spent an extended weekend at this charming inn. From check-in to breakfast to check-out Stephania made the experience refreshing, inviting and comfortable. Breakfast was fantastic with many options the atmosphere was calming and the views of Hunter from our room were great. We enjoyed the amount of board games available in the bar/restaurant area and enjoyed a game of scrabble... More

I spent this past weekend at The Washington Irving. The innkeeper was polite and accomodating. The inn itself was very pretty and historic. We stayed in the bliss carman which is the oldest room in the house. Although smaller than it appeared online it was lovely. The breakfast was great. I had pancakes eggs and Bacon. All were divine. The... More

This is a beautiful place, I stayed here in the summer and was very happy. It's in a good location, the breakfasts were the perfect way to start the day and Stephania is a very competent hostess. I loved sitting on the large porch and watching the humming birds zip around in the afternoon. There is really nice hiking right... More

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.
