This is a perfect family oriented spot for visiting downtown Woodstock. We stayed in one of their family suites. It was spacious and comfortable without being ostentatious. Loved the details in the outdoor space--well tended plants and flowers, as well as, fire pits and Adirondack chairs to hang out by the river.

Nice get away spit in the country. Very clean and bed was comfortable. Fire pits were lite each night to sit out and enjoy. Short walk into town for shopping and eating. A market across the road was very convenient.

Great location but uncomfortable room

The property location is spectacular, right on the river. The staff are kind, professional and friendly. The property itself, however is dated, at least our room was (401). The fridge was so loud, we had to unplug it. The AC from the hallway, which was on the other side of our room's wall, was on all day and night, and was also intermittently very loud. The AC in the room was also loud. If you are sensitive to sound, this room will not be very comfortable and there are no blackout curtains, so if you slept poorly due to the noise, you then wake up with the sun. The room had a view of the parking lot, and with all things combined, I don't think it was worth $300 something a night. Great location and staff, though.

Overall we had a comfortable quiet night in a clean room with a good bed and clean bathroom. HOWEVER , we booked a room with river views and found ourselves with views of parking lots. Also the room could use a microwave. And the shower floor was dangerously slippery.

Decent, clean accommodations. Close to downtown. Nice views. Staff were very helpful and worked with our changing plans. Rooms on the lowest level of the River building had a good deal of moisture build-up (like a basement), so things /felt/ a little damp (nice river access, though). One room had virtually no toilet paper left, but that was quickly rectified. Would stay there again, as--on the whole--it was a good experience.

We were assigned to a cottage apart from the main building. The cottage was in need of updating. The main concern though was with the lack of cleanliness...spider webs and dust were found throughout the room/bathroom. There is not a "front desk" either, which we found a bit odd.
