Mount Merino Manor

My gf and I managed to book the rip room at Mount Merino just in time for the Fourth of July weekend. We’ve never been to Hudson and just wanted to spend some time in a cute town at a comfortable BnB. This manor was a 5 minute drive outside of the town which was great because we quickly got bored of Hudson to be honest. far too many «antique» shops.
But I must say that the management here was phenomenal. We were so well accommodated here and it felt great. Even before arriving, I had plenty of questions about the area and Melinda, the inn keeper was prompt and polite. When we arrived, she already knew who we were and greeted us at the front door. She showed us around the space and left us at our room along with our own set of keys to the room and some brochures for us to take a look at.
We spent two nights here and had two breakfasts at the manor. WOW. This really blew me away. These meals were probably the best meals we had in Hudson. The dining room was laid out for each party that was staying that weekend so we had our own little table which was great. I could go on and on about the breakfast because it was just that great but I really just recommend that you come here and see for yourself!
Beautiful grounds with an amazing view of the Catskills. Thanks for an amazing weekend guys! Hope to be back soon! Only recommendation is that you should change the name of «rips room» to something else? I know it’s named after the view of the bridge but I think such a great room deserves a more accommodating name. :)

We stayed in the Isabel room, and it was amazing. A beautiful room with a huge separate sitting room, private deck, and jacuzzi tub. I was so surprised to be treated like a princess for the price that we paid.
The breakfast was DELICIOUS, they served coffee, tea, juice, a fruit plate, warm lemon muffins, and challah french toast with bananas and cinnamon sugar butter.
The parlor was really nice, we stayed up and drank tea and played board games.
They even went above and beyond with in room amenities. Make up remover towels, toothpaste… I didn’t end up having to bring anything. This might sound silly but they were just so detail oriented.
My tip would be to go on a weekday. It was such a good price! We stayed on a Thursday.
Thank you Mount Merino!

This has to be my all-​time favorite B&B in many decades of travel around the world. It’s a gorgeous old Victorian home, built for artist Frederic Edwin Church’s wife’s doctor, on a high hill with sweeping views. The rooms are period-​perfect and immaculate, and even our modest-​sized one on the third floor — «Rip’s Room» — was very comfortable, with a window nook and a bathroom with a huge shower. And the breakfast was just stunning — fresh local fruit cup, followed by perfectly-​done moist scrambled eggs on a slide of buttery Italian bread, and they were happy to substitute veggie sausages for the bacon. The host and wait staff were courteous and warm, and I can’t think of any other stay at any B&B or hotel which left me with a warner, more contented feeling after my stay. Would give it six stars if I could!

We stayed in the Eagles Crest room for one night. The room is clean and overall comfortable. The mattress was a bit old, but still firm. The highlights of the stay were the breakfast, the large porch and sitting area, and the grounds, which are beautiful. Our stay was a surpise to my wife and overall she loved it. Also, be sure to visit the historic house of Olana, Kaaterskill Falls near Palenville/​Castkill, and eat at Ca Mea in Hudson

Beautiful rooms — spacious, decorated nicely, comfortable bathrooms, cosy. Small TVs. Just what a nice B&B should look like. Nice view of the mountains. Friendly proprietors. Breakfast was tasty but not necessarily sumptuous. Free tea, coffee, crackers and cookies, selection of games and DVDs.
