It's rustic but really fun. Cool location not far from the OG Woodstock site!
Good location- easy drive to Bethel Woods. Our dog enjoyed his walk to the water. The room was clean but the water in the shower was really weak. Very comfortable bed.
A wonderful place! A tastefully decorated clean, big, bright, and airy room with good quality bath products and plenty of towels. The staff were excellent - very responsive and helpful. It was easy to access the room. The bedding was super soft and comfy. Plenty of parking. Nicely situated by the river. A great breakfast option just across the roady the “Hungry Goat” (delicious food). Excellent! Would definitely go back to the Drift House.
It is a lovely spot on the river and my room was extremely clean. I enjoyed being there. I would’ve given 5 stars if there had been connection with internet. Even with downloading WiFi info, I had zip connection.
Otherwise I was a happy camper.
The rooms are very clean and spacious. The bed was comfortable. Self check-in was very easy and our questions were answered fairly quickly just by calling the number that was given. There is a kayak rental place that’s right there, which is a nice touch. My only complaint was that our bottom floor room was musty smelling, so if we were to stay again we’d request one on the top floor. Also, if you have mobility issues you will need to go down a flight of stairs if you reserve a 1st floor room.
There aren’t any staff on the property to help you if needed. Our room was very musty and humid. Right outside our door was a light that shine into the room right directly onto the bed. It felt like there was a spotlight the entire night shining on us.
The self service property was clean, had been updated quite recently and the room looked very nice inside. Overall an enjoyable stay.
I had issues checking in, but the host came within 10 minutes to assist. Very helpful.
My partner and I travel for business from time to time and he and I really enjoyed staying here. It was extremely peaceful and cute with a vintage vibe. The owner Kathy was very helpful and kind. It was also so nice to hear the river from our room and to spend some time in nature. The room was clean and comfortable. We were able to get good rest while on our work trip. If we are back in the area we will definitely book here again.

This place has potential, but our room had a heavy smell of mildew. When we messaged management about it, there was no apology or offer of refund, only that we should have turned on the AC. We booked two nights and could only stay one.

Rooms were stylish and trendy. Some small stains in the tub and on the shower curtain but overall a clean room. The stopper under our door was coming up and one of the sockets looked like it was burnt. Can definitely see where they are making improvements. A lot of clicking at night.
Pleasantly surprised with great accommodations. Restaurant had good food and very convenient to our rooms. Joe and Sonia were excellent ensuring that our family was taking care of and comfortable. Will stay again!
When I arrived, there was no one on site. As a result, I ended up making reservations at a different hotel. I am VERY UNHAPPY with the entire experience. I paid a significant amount of money for the room, and expect I do not qualify for a refund as I did not cancel prior to my arrival. Had I known there would be no one at the hotel I would have cancelled.
The picture does not accurately represent how the hotel looks from the road. It was very misleading.
The room was very clean and comfortable. The place is going thru some renovations and I can not wait to see the place completed. Great weekend get away, will definitely go back.
Nice little place. Room was large with comfortable beds. All we needed for overnight. Deceiving from the outside. Would stay there again. Lex was very nice and helpful. A very nice restaurant is there also.
Lex was amazing!!! Although they had some issues with electric, they were able to accommodate our needs and find another place for us. We enjoyed the food and the layout of the place. Highly recommend this place becuse of your staff! Very friendly staff!!! She is one of the best assets of the hotel!!!
Overall a nice, large room. There was a layer of dust on the tabletops, and the floor was quite dirty. There are not a lot of options in the area, so I would stay there again, but will ask for a vacuum cleaner to be available.

Lex was nice and accommodating. Advertised as a hotel but is actually a motel. The place was priced a little high for a motel.
