“A Charming Victorian Home With Innkeeper To Match”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 May 2011
3
people found this review helpful

While the inn was in a modest state of maintenance due to some exterior painting, the accomodations were pleasant and the inn was charming assuming you enjoy Victorian surroundings. Rooms were of adequate size and although the bathrooms were quite small (formerly closets for the rooms of the previous home) they were well equipped. The linens and beds in the rooms were quite nice and comfortable.

The room included a full breakfast which was excellent and prepared by the innkeeper, a charming lady formerly from England (Yvonne) who proved to be a very good host (or hostess if youn prefer).

In the sitting room, there was wine available as well as ice if you provided your own beverages. While there was cable TV should you want it, the TV was quite old and could use some updating.

All in all, the stay was enjoyable, the price/value of the rooms was very good and the town of Rhinebeck and surrounding countryside was exceptional both from a historical/cultural standpoint as well as from a pastoral perspective.

Room Tip: Be sure to check out each room on line for select.

“Charming B&B close to hiking trails”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 March 2011
1
person found this review helpful

My husband & I recently spent a Saturday night at the Veranda House with friends. It was a much needed few days away from the noise of NYC. We found the Veranda House to be charming, and very conveniently located to town and nearby hiking in Ferncliff Forest. Yvonne was great and in my opinion, the perfect B&B hostess. She was informative (she told us of the Poet’s Walk nearby) but non-intrusive. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Our friends stayed in the Rose Room which was a larger room with a very comfy looking lounger. Our room was the Forget-Me-Not room which was smaller, but had the larger bathroom. French Toast for breakfast was yummy. I would definitely stay there again. And if you are in the area, I strongly recommend the Flatiron Restaurant in Red Hook – awesome!

“It was fine”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2010

I stayed at this inn this summer when visiting my family in the area. It was a very nice place and the innkeeper was perfectly fine. My only comment is that the breakfast is too late. By 9:00 am I need to be long gone. A buffet and coffee earlier is better. Thankfully Bread Alone is a wonderful cafe that is right in town and opens early.

“rude innkeeper; low lights obscure inn that needs refreshing”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 October 2010
1
person found this review helpful

We had planned a much needed getaway and were met by the innkeeper at the door. We asked to see room first, and when we did we noticed it was quite cold. We asked if anything could be done and she said she'd turn up the heat; when we returned much later the room was freezing and it remained that way all night.
The next morning when we complained she said she had turned up the heat and we had the warmest room. Hardly true, as we stepped into others that were naturally warmer.
We then checked out a day early and she said she had turned the heat on ( a little late) and actually tried to tell us that someone had flipped the ac switch instead.

Low lighting obscures an inn that needs "refreshing". Bathrooms were former closets and difficult to use. The breakfast was good, but served at 8:30 sharp- that was it.
