The Dominion House was the perfect place for a quiet weekend away from the computers and hustle and bustle for the home environment. Great facility, great host, great breakfast - all at one place.

This is a beautiful old home. We visited in the fall and the surrounding property was gorgeous. The owners were friendly and made a delicious breakfast. The only note I'd give is that our antique bed was SO loud and creaky -- it screeched even if just turning over or even yawning. The house is not far from a town that has lots of dining options and it was very close to the venue where we were attending a wedding.

I stayed for only one night as I was attending a wedding at Brotherhood Winery. I wish it was longer! I was in awe of the original furnishings. I enjoyed a cup of tea while paging through books from the 1800’s! I hiked on the abandoned railroad and listened to birds and frogs and pet their horses along the way. The leaves were peak. I almost didn’t want to leave to attend my wedding!! I slept the best I’ve slept in weeks in the Morning Glory room. It was a very spacious room. When I left the next morning, I didn’t have time for breakfast. Susie had a goodie bag prepared for my journey back to NYC. It was a very beautiful house. I loved every minute. Thank you for having me.

Dominion house maintains its vintage character and has remained in the family for three generations. The home has a unique charm. The innkeepers were welcoming and went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional. It was a wonderful treat to start our mornings with an amazing homemade breakfast. We will definitely be returning.

A very nice historical B & B
From the moment we arrived Susie was very accommodating showing us to our room and the guest areas of the house along with a brief history lesson of the home dating back to the 1800s. Breakfast was a perfect mix of plate size and tastiness as she did not diaappoint. The home was in great shape for the age and included some original furniture, with a hot tub and outdooor pool. The only downside was the bed was a bit noisy, it was comfortable, but given its age to be expected. All in all, an excellent surprise with gracious hosts.

Beautiful home, property and experience
Absolutely an outstanding Bed and Breakfast. The home is exquisite with original furniture from the late 1890s. Very clean, quiet, comfortable and spacious accommodations. The outdoor area is just beautiful with a classic front porch, modern pool, deck and patios all overlooking the beautiful hills surrounding the area. The innkeeper, Kathy, told us the history of the house and explained the background of several of the furnishings. Our breakfast was deliciously prepared and served by Lee Ann who also told us some history of the property. If you are planning to see this area of New York State, this is the place to stay.

Great Weekend at The Dominion House
Our stay at The Dominion House Bed & Breakfast marked the first time I and a friend had stayed at a B&B. We were incredibly impressed by the hospitality of, and the ambiance created by, Kathy and Joe. We felt at home and welcomed yet still left to our own devices. The details and comfort of the building and grounds allowed a calm to settle over us. That was exactly what we hoped to find.  The region surrounding The Dominion House offers much to anyone; the local winery, the Hudson Riverfront in Newburgh, the rolling hills, and more beckon for daily excursions. We are already planning our next visit. Thank You Kathy and Joe for a truly happy time. We will see you again.  E & A

The house was a very large Victorian style house rich in history. It was simply a beautiful place to stay and the outside grounds were equally beautiful. The proprietors ( John and Kathy) were two of the nicest people you would want to meet and breakfast in the morning had that home made touch of baked goods like fresh scones or zucchini bread.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Dominion House Bed and Breakfast. Upon entering the home to the wonderful aroma of assorted fresh baked cookies and delicious zucchini bread, we felt right at home as we joined the welcome tour of the property. The gracious hosts Kathy and Joe provided comfortable, well appointed accommodations in a clean, relaxing, natural setting. It was fascinating to hear stories of historical significance of the home as well as the escapades of four legged visitors captured on a wildlife cameras located beyond the fence line of the property. The cool afternoon breeze in the garden combined with the sparkling pool definitely provided a welcome respite from the first heat wave of the summer. We hope for another opportunity to visit The Dominion House in the not too distant future..
