Columbia County, NY -
Berkshires,
Tanglewood and Stockbridge, NY
Columbia County, NY for years has been the place you
drive by to get to Albany, Saratoga or the Adirondacks. Then visitors
to Lenox and Stockbridge in the Massachusetts Berkshires overflowed
into Northeastern Columbia County. Next came New York City antique
dealers
 who opened shops in the town of Hudson, which has begun to be
restored to its proper place as an “icon”. Now people
are coming just for touring. The
Amtrak train connects Hudson, NY to Penn Station. Rent a car for the
12-mile drive to our
Spencertown Country House. Experiencing the lush
countryside beyond Hudson, you’ll see weathered homes and cozy
cottages, lodging that has survived a century or two, our
Hudson Valley inn among those rescued and restored.
Recycled architecture and land conservation rule
supreme. Chatham NY is among villages
where architectural examples of the nineteenth century have been
restored to accommodate an eclectic representation of antique shops, art
galleries, inns, restaurants and performing arts venues. Among the
many shops, you’ll find casual sidewalk dining,
two bookstores, antiques shops, a toy store, and a movie theater with a
$3.50 ticket!
People come to enjoy the countryside that
still embraces organically grown foods, grazing cows and sheep, horse
stables, and lush apple orchards. Visitors are astonished by Columbia
County's incredible scenery. Traveling the picturesque country roads
that surround our Hudson Valley bed and breakfast, you find an area
immersed in history and local culture --- exemplified in Olana, Martin
Van Buren’s home, Mt. Lebanon Shaker Village, Edna St. Vincent Millay’s
home.
And so,
for the best of the Berkshires, head West over the mountain to Northeast
Columbia County, NY where guests choose
Berkshires accommodations,
just a twenty minute drive from the most popular destinations. Coming to
Columbia County on business? Our
Hudson Valley bed and breakfast offers
executive meeting
facilities as well.
