Inn Reviews

Had a great time hiking and exploring the area.  Delicious French-inspired breakfasts and comfy room added up to a most enjoyable stay.  Top-flight pillows and mattresses – slept better here than at home!

Kind people. Delicious food. Nice set-up inside. Great views. Plenty to do (within) walking distance. Check out the fire pit.

My husband and I stayed at the Danskammer House Bed & Breakfast when we came into town to (hear) a jazz band at The Falcon.  Our room was warm and elegant with all kinds of lovely details and there’s a lounge at the top of the house with beautiful views out over the Hudson River.

The location was very convenient for dinner at the CIA and visiting the FDR sites in Hyde Park.  Multi-course breakfast was delicious and we appreciated that the hosts were able to serve us early to suit our travel plans.

This is now our second stay at Danskammer House B&B.  We couldn't be happier.  Linda and Ken are superhosts.  (They are) incredibly attentive and responsive to emails, and offer a wealth of information on what to do around town....  We will be back again in the spring and summer to enjoy the fire pit and vegetable garden.

We had a very special experience as the first "official" guests of Danskammer House.  Linda and Ken are welcoming and great conversationalists, and we had an unusual "small world" connection to them through mutual acquaintances.

Meeting friends for some winery touring, this location could not have been more perfect.  All the couples we were with felt so comfortable.  The third floor lounge with a wet bar and TV was great to come home to after a night out in Marlboro – the Falcon was a two-minute walk and there were other restaurants in walking distance too. Breakfast was incredible and worth the price alone!  The banana nut bread was perhaps the finest baked good I’ve ever had.

Danskammer House has been painstakingly restored, with a connoisseur's eye to detail and quality.  One finds the gratifying combination of old-time charm and state-of-the-art technology.  The innkeepers are welcoming, friendly, and above all, deeply knowledgeable about the area.

We arrived at the B&B about 1 am from LaGuardia Airport the first night...  There they were waiting on the front porch to greet us. (Our)  highlight breakfast was outdoors under the umbrellas; (it included)... savory buckwheat cakes with our choice of ingredients – eggs, bacon, ham, cheese – followed by sweet crepes with fruits and jams topped with whipped cream.... The Cools... are great hosts whom we now count as friends...!

A relaxing getaway for my husband and me became more like a visit with dear friends.  Linda and Ken know the area and suggested perfect places for us:  from the historic Gomez Mil House up the street to where to get an authentic NY pizza slice.

Danskammer House is located on a quiet side street in Marlboro.  We had come to see a show at the Falcon (music hall)...which is an easy walk (from the inn)...  Breakfast and snacks were home-cooked and delicious, and we enjoyed sitting out in the backyard, ... just enjoying a bit of peace.

We spent the most relaxing night of a two week road trip from Colorado.  Our room, the Asher Durand Suite on the first floor, was easily accessible for my husband who has problems with stairs.  The Euro-style shower was wonderful and the specially made Amish craftsman furniture was stunning.

Inn Welcome

The innkeepers are pleased to welcome guests from across America and around the world to the warm hospitality of Danskammer House nestled in a small village perched above the Hudson River. Our beautiful regional landscapes were carved out eons ago by the majestic Hudson River and the Catskill and Shawangunk mountains. Along with the great river thoroughfare and majestic mountain ridges, the greater Hudson Valley with its orchard-dotted hills and cascading kills still recalls the pastoral landscapes of the 19th century Hudson River School of painters. And the luminous qualities of our valley and mountain atmosphere continue to offer spectators magnificent sunrises and sunsets sparkling with the same vibrant colors captured long ago by Thomas Cole, Frederick Church, George Inness, Jasper Cropsey and their fellow artists.

Inn History

Danskammer House itself began as a handsome 1870 private residence in colonial revival style built by the locally prominent, fruit-growing Carpenter family and was later transformed into the medical clinic and residence of village Doctor J.B. Scott after the Second World War. Today, Danskammer House flies under the registry of the AirBnB movement and offers bed-and-breakfast style accommodations in four to five private guestroom suites and makes available to all guests multiple public rooms, outdoor porches and terraces, young fruit trees and berry patches, as well as kitchen and herb and cottage flower gardens.

Inn Amenities

The original 1870 Danskammer House was extensively renovated with new infrastructure systems in 2016-2017 while preserving key architectural features of the historic dwelling. The innkeepers have blended the ambiance of a bygone era with contemporary levels of guest comfort. Considerable attention has been given to environmental systems, with new windows that really open, a ceiling fan in every guest room, an individually controlled heating and cooling ductless unit in each upstairs bedroom, and additional heating and venting in each bathroom.
