The Grand Dutchess

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.

If you're looking for a home away from home but still with professional service this is the place to go! The owner and Innkeeper, Beth, is an amazing host.

It's like going back to the your childhood when you could sleep in and wake up to a delicious breakfast in a stunning Victorian era home.

Beth also knows the Hudson Valley area like the back of her hand and is always willing to help visitors find things to do, she will make dinner reservations for you, and if she is unable to take a reservation from you she

My daughter and I happened upon this B & B based upon a recommendation of another B & B owner whom I contacted for a room without availability.

My daughter is 2 1/2 , and it was such a gift to be able to stay in a place where we felt safe, were well fed, and were close to the wedding venue. We stayed in Loretta's Lounge, a second floor room with queen sized bed on the front of the house facing the street. The sheets were super soft, the pillows perfect and the water pressure excellent. Breakfast and coffee (yay!) were available starting at 9, which was perfect for us. They have a large b
