My boyfriend and I wanted a quiet, overnight retreat in the country. This was the perfect place! Surrounded by woods, very quiet. Rooms were very comfortable. Vegan breakfast was delicious. Petra was extremely accommodating and helpful when we had questions about the town/activities. The outdoor shower was amazing. Definitely recommend to a friend!

Finding a quiet escape just outside of Manhattan for the weekend can occasionally be a daunting task. Travelling to New Paltz, however, can be quite the treat to those looking for a pleasant weekend away from the frenetic pace of one's own work schedule. Contemplating a last minute weekend away back in April, my boyfriend and I made our second... More

And quiet was what I got! When I first arrived, no one was at the house to meet me but that gave me a chance to look around. And I was very happy with what I saw. A beautiful, warm and inviting home set in the peaceful woods. I stayed in the room with the skylight. It's advertised as their... More

Thanks, L. the change in you was dramatic from the time you arrived - all wound up and moving hundreds of miles an hour - to the time you left. You were calm and mellow and completely full of peace. It was a wonderful transformation to be a part of. I know that you weren't at all concerned that I... More

My husband and I arrived at the Hungry Ghost for a food and hiking break. We stayed in room two which had a lovely skylight that illuminated the space beautifully. In addition, the bed was heated so we were able to leave the windows open and enjoy the light cool breeze and wonderful wildlife (think turkeys, birds & crickets) while... More

Easy trip from NYC - lovely accommodations and host. The food was exceptional and the hottub was a super bonus. Petra made a delicious birthday cake for my fiancé at no additional cost Whig was very sweet since I took him here for his bday weeken. Would come back.

We enjoyed the services and company. It wasn't exactly what we had expected but we were pleasantly surprised at how enjoyable and peaceful the atmosphere was. Only downfall: Anyone can go in your room at any time as there are no locks on the doors and therefore, no real sense of security. We did not like this aspect but the... More

For one reason or another, we always seem to have the pleasure of attracting wonderful, caring, interactive and respectful guests to our home. The hot tub is open 24 hours a day and may possibly the reason no one ever has to share the warm, non-chemically treated luxury, the same goes for the outdoor shower: everyone loves it, and every...

I have had the good fortune to stay at some of the finest hotels in the world but as I get older (and slower) I have come to value authenticity over opulence. Staying at the Hungry Ghost Guest House is like visiting good friends who want to spoil you rotten. The house itself is charming, cozy, lovely. The surrounding landscape... More
