On a tranquil country lane in rural Hyde Park, New York, you will discover The Willows Bed and Breakfast. The Willows, built in 1765, is a lovingly restored Colonial farmhouse in the heart of the beautiful and historic Hudson Valley.

Relax and enjoy the fireplace in the living room, the wide planked floors throughout, and the exposed hand-hewn beams. The two guest rooms, The Stencil Room and The Green Room, are quaintly furnished with antiques, quilts, and a country charm. Each of the lodging accommodations is air conditioned and features a private bath as well as a refrigerator with complimentary beverages.

Savor a full and hearty breakfast prepared by Lee, a Culinary Institute of America graduate. Indulge yourself with freshly squeezed juices and homemade jams, jellies, and breads. Ingredients are the freshest possible, and many Hudson Valley products are used. The jams and jellies are made from fruit picked at nearby farms. All breads are made from home-ground flours and are served with home-churned butter. Freshly prepared sausages and home-cured bacon are available, and locally roasted coffee and specially blended teas are featured. The delicious breakfast is served either in the spacious dining room or, if weather permits, outside on the flagstone patio, which overlooks a neighboring horse farm.

The Willows Bed and Breakfast is centrally located in Dutchess County. You will be close to antique shops, farm markets, historical sites, fine dining, wineries, colleges, outdoor activities, and cultural events. Points of interest include the Culinary Institute of America, the FDR Home and Library, and the Vanderbilt Mansion. Those looking for some activity will find hiking, boating, fishing, tennis, swimming, golf, horseback riding, and cross-county skiing in the area. Others may simply wish to relax at the inn and enjoy its calming atmosphere.

Lisa and Lee Fraitag look forward to you visit to The Willows Bed and Breakfast, an inn with simple elegance and homemade delights.
