Suminski Innski

Made of rainbow dust and moonbeams. I came, I laughed, I wept, I laughed some more and then I wept again. And then I laughed again. Innski para siempre amigos!

Had the best time here! Perfect place to find peace and relaxation. Beds, service, friendliness, room, location, parking, and everything that we needed was beyond perfect.
I already miss this place and it’s only been 6 hours since we left. I am trying to plan another visit in two weeks.
There needs to be more places like this inn.

The Suminski Innski is such a special and unique place set in an even more beautiful and amazing location. Tim, the owner, makes you feel at home the moment you walk in, and for my entire stay, he was generous, kind, and truly wanted to give me the best experience possible. If you need tips on where to go, or places to visit, just ask him and he will give you plenty of great ideas/​plans. The inn is relaxing, calm, and everyone is extremely welcoming. There are always people to talk with in the downstairs living room and kitchen, yet you can get all the privacy you need in your room. I love this place, and would recommend it to anyone visiting the Hudson Valley!

The most magical place I have stayed in the HRV. A breathtaking view and comfortable accommodations, an unrivaled experience in the culture of the area.

My husband and I stayed at the Summinski for two nights last weekend and we positively loved the place. Tim is a kind and generous host, offering rides, bikes, local tips, book loans and even a hand-​drawn map. The house is stunning, eclectic and warm, filled with antiques and artwork from local artists and the view of the Hudson is spectacular. There are tons of cozy parlors to curl up in with a good book or cup of tea. True, the train passes in front of the house at night, but we didn’t find it a problem.
The location couldn’t be more perfect, you can easily reach any place along the Hudson easily and there are tons of wonderful things to do within a short drive (Poet’s Walk Park, Clermont Estate, Olana, Hudson antiques, etc.).
Perfect location, perfect price for our budget and Tim is the perfect host. We can’t wait to go back!

I had my wedding at Clermont State Historic Site this past June, and we decided to rent out the whole Suminski to house the wedding party and some close friends. Tim also catered our rehearsal dinner and a small party for friends and family who were in town the night before the wedding. I could not have been happier with the house, or with Tim and his team as hosts – staying there with my closest friends was one of the loveliest parts of the whole weekend.
This B&B feels like you’ve come to a friend’s place (if your friend had a huge, gorgeous house perched on the Hudson) – Tim is generous and flexible, and rolled with our many requests (extra fridge for our wedding cake? Sure! Friend wants to crash on the couch? No problem!). It’s a beautiful house, with eclectic decorations and a very casual feel. It might not be for everyone – most rooms share bathrooms, and the style could be a little too laid back for some – but it was absolutely perfect for us. Tim and his staff made delicious breakfasts and, more importantly, a really great family-​style rehearsal dinner buffet for 18 of us. We loved spending time out on the huge porch, watching the river, and talking until late in the downstairs living rooms.
There are definitely fancier, plusher places in the Hudson Valley, but we felt absolutely at home here in a way you wouldn’t at a posher B&B. If you’re looking for a friendly, laid-​back, beautiful place to stay in the area, you couldn’t do better.

Yes the outside surroundings are lovely BUT you are not sleeping outside. Unfortunately you have to sleep inside. This place is more like a bare bones hostel then a B&B. It needs a thorough cleaning to get rid of the dog hair, dust, musty smell etc. As one reviewer mentioned, it is like renting a bedroom (no locks on the doors) in someone’s home (which needs to be cleaned). Upon entering the property and checking out the «bedroom» we almost decided to leave but since we had driven a long way (came up for an event) and staying one night, we decided to «roll with it» but could not wait to leave in the AM. I would rate this place 1.5 stars but you can’t do that so I gave it 2 stars.

Probably not for everyone, but we loved this inn. We stayed for a weekend in February, and really enjoyed living in this charming old mansion. The owner, Tim, is a real treat, and made us feel right at home the minute we arrived. The river views are wonderful, the beds are incredibly comfortable, and the antiques, artwork, and oddities that fill the house were quite a treat. It’s the exact opposite of a standard chain motel; so you may miss the good features of that kind of lodging, depending on what’s important to you. Since we prefer to stay off the beaten track, this is just our kind of inn. Short walk up the hill to the small town of Tivoli. The train runs along the river, but didn’t obscure the view and didn’t run at night, so it didn’t bother us at all.

This is not for everyone. I wouldn’t call it a B&B, instead you are renting a room in Tim’s house. A winter stay may be quite different than a warm weather stay. The wind was whipping off the Hudson right into our bedroom. The heat just could not keep up with the cold outside. It was uncomfortably cold. I would have sat downstairs but it was not very welcoming… no bulbs in the lamp next to the couch, other rooms were dark with thick drapes covering the windows (trying to keep the cold out). A lot of clutter in rooms. Again, this is really his house — this is the way that he lives, you just rent a bedroom. He has a good heart, giving discounts to teachers, social workers, farmers. etc Good place to stay as long as you know what you are getting into.

Where All your dreams come true, including that one where your uncle Jeff eats a moon rock

I found the Suminski Inski on Airbnb and it looked amazing. I immediately booked it. I arrived and it looked even better. Incredible location, views, and rooms. This is a stately home from the 1800s that has been almost entirely restored to it’s former glory. I say almost in that it is a huge undertaking to make it perfect. If you are looking for perfection don’t stay here, but if you want warmth and character by all means do stay here! I stayed in August 2012, met incredible guests and hung out on the front wrap around porch overlooking the Husdon drinking red wine watching the sunset. My daughters go to Bard College and I’ve decided to make the Suminski Inski my place while they are in college for the next four years. Tim, the innkeeper, makes a great breakfast and does his best to make everyone happy. Make sure to ask him about the story of the Inn, quite a tale! After the weekend we felt like one big happy family. This next visit I look forward to taking a paddle on the Hudson in one of Tim’s canoes, or kayaks with my girls. I highly recommend the Suminski Inski!

Breathtaking views to the Hudson Grand mansion with boho vibes! Artists and writers will feel at home. The owner is unique as his guests. Non pretentious and affordable.
Enjoy.

The Suminski Innski B&B (also known as Tim’s House or Mansion) is an absolutely unique place. With it’s own spirit (thanks to it’s owner Tim Voell), breathtaking views to the Hudson River and Catskill Mountains, and movie-​like ornate parlors.
Come here, take a room, grab some beer or brew a cup of tea and enjoy beautiful sunsets sitting on the porch with white columns.
Rates are flexible and a nice discount is available for journalists, teachers, farmers, social workers, aid-​workers, veterans, bicyclists and care-​givers. (Special offers for the artists as well!)
During the week it’s a calm and peaceful place perfect for writing and relaxing. And on weekends the best parties are here (sorry neighbors).
In short — it’s my favorite place in New York’s Hudson Valley. Tim is a very good friend of mine, and I hope you’ll come and love his place.
