Best Friend Baby Shower Road Trip: Two best friends going to their best friends daughter's baby shower. Recipe - Lovely and historic Inn, three beautiful days, comfy and clean bedroom & bath, private parking, morning coffee, walking distance to hip/quaint town and our baby shower! Top this with Elizabeth, the lady of the house, who could not have been kinder from the point of booking and there you have it - a dream come true! It's hard to find time to get together with friends and family these days. For such a special event as a baby shower, if you can have it be a weekend where you can just relax/laugh with people you love and have it all align is something I know I will always remember. Thank you, Elizabeth. See you again.

Lovely old house and wonderful bed and breakfast experience. Beth is the perfect host- warm and helpful. We had a delicious, hearty breakfast before we left for our Bars College visit. The beds were comfortable and the house well appointed.

The room doors don't lock. You can't secure your room when you're away, and there isn't even a chain to lock the door when you're inside. I certainly understand that vintage buildings have quirks which add to their charm, but in general the Inn seems in need of TLC starting with basics like locking doors, updated window units, newer mattresses, and fixing rusted and loose bathroom fixtures. The owner was lovely, the location is convenient to restaurants nearby, but that was not enough to outweigh feeling unsafe due to lack of locks, and uncomfortable due to the deferred maintenance.

This lovely victorian bed and breakfast is so authentic you would expect a ghost to prowl the stairways and rattle around the upper floors. Ah, but not so. The beds, bathroom fixtures and services are all very much up-to-date. Enjoy the excellent breakfast and feel free to lounge on the front porch or walk into town. The Grand Dutchess is conveniently located off the main road and within easy access to lovely shops and restaurants. The beds are so comfortable you you will be tempted to extend your stay.

Another B&B recommended the Grand Duchess so we were delighted to get a last-minute room. Beth, one of the owners, greeted us and was helpful in recommending places for dinner. The room was well-furnished and charming. No TV. The bathroom was clean, the soap luscious, the towels okay, the shower water hot. Disappointments: no coffee in the morning, nor was there anyone to ask about breakfast. We decided to eat breakfast at the historic Red Hook Diner just down the road, which was a good call.
