Whistle Wood Farm

One of the best b & bs I’ve ever had the pleasure of staying at with the freshest, most delicious farm to table breakfasts I have ever eaten. The eggs were straight from the coop and out of this world tasty. An incredible spread of pies and pastries awaits you every day in the main house where you can warm yourself by the fire and put your feet up. This truly is an idyllic, rustic escape from the city in every sense of the word. I will certainly be coming back.

Whistlewood Farm is a beautiful bed and breakfast with a unique setting on a friendly farm in a beautiful area in the Hudson Valley. The décor is great, the breakfast is yummy, and the service is terrific. We had several members of our family stay at the location for long weekend wedding and Maggie, the owner, was very helpful, friendly, and flexible with our requests. We would highly recommend Whistlewood to anybody looking for a relaxing weekend in the country.

WhistleWood Farm is an idyllic place. The farm is tucked away; Pells Road curves around leading up a long drive with horses lining either side (depending on the time of day, you may have to wait for some chickens to cross the road, too). The main house sits at the top of the drive, where Maggie, the owner, waits to welcome you warmly with a table filled with pies and cakes. She greets you with a smile and doesn’t hesitate to show you your room and the grounds and encourage you to make yourself feel at home.
Wood floors, mix-​matched furniture and textiles make the whole space feel cozy. Screened-​in porches provide the perfect place to relax, sip Maggie’s homemade lemonade and read a book, all while taking in the fresh farm air.
Mornings are the best part. A pot of coffee and sizzling griddle lure you into the kitchen for a seemingly endless breakfast: plum tortes, lemon pound cake, apple blueberry muffins, tomatoes with herbs (both from the garden), eggs how you want them and so much more. You’ll be well fed, giving you plenty of energy to hike the Catskills and nearby trails.

An awesome place! Looking spontaneously for a place to stay in Rhinebeck on a Sunday night, we called around to some nearby bed and breakfasts. Thank God Whistlewood Farms answered! It was AMAZING! The rooms were clean and beautiful. Each one different and unique. Maggie is an awesome host: on point, gracious, a wonderful cook, very hospitable and generous. One morning we fed snacks to the hens who laid our beautiful, light & multi-​colored eggs for breakfast, we pet the horses & donkey, trekked up to the cows over a low, stone wall, scratched a tiger-​striped tabby & a Burnese Mnt dog! Saw fireflies galore~ & plenty of bees & butterflies! The country road walk is a feast for the senses. It was a magical time @ WhistleWood Bnb in Rhinebeck, NY. High recommends! Maggie makes you feel right at home, cooks yummy breakfasts and desserts & operates a gorgeous farm + cozy, tidy, well-​appointed home. Coming to Omega or upstate NY? WhistleWood Farm Bed&Breakfast in Rhinebeck is a very special lodging option!

This is a sanctuary. I came up from the city for some much needed R&R and found so much more. The inn itself is absolutely beautiful — well-​decorated, clean, breezy and bursting with sunlight. Even with a light occasional rain, there were so many covered nooks here to relax and reflect while being surrounded by the steady peace and warmth of nature.
With horses, cows, chickens and the persistent song of birds you really feel totally immersed. There’s a fire pit outside and a wood burning fireplace in the livingroom (as well as gas fireplaces in some of the rooms). Most rooms also have sliding doors out to private patios surrounded by wildflowers.
The delicious made-​to-​order breakfast each morning was the most amazing way to start the day and there are so many great restaurants in town just a few minutes away. I didn’t have a car and Maggie was happy to drop me off in town and it was very easy to just grab a cheap cab when I was ready to head back. The town of Rhinebeck has so many great shops for strolling. I kept myself occupied for a few hours exploring before heading back with some treats and rose to enjoy on the porch.
I kept to myself a lot so I could relax but I also met a few different couples who were staying and had great conversation (as well as with Maggie, who is a delightful host). Highly recommend this to anyone wanting to take deep breaths and feel grounded or simply just explore the beautiful Hudson Valley.

Had an amazing stay at the Whistlewood over Memorial Day weekend. We took the train from NYC, and the place was a 5 minute cab ride from the station. The owner, Maggie, was wonderfully helpful and probably the best baker EVER! The rooms were beautifully decorated, each room had its own theme and color coordination, and had all amenities such as shampoo, bath products, tons of towels, hair dryer etc. We stayed at the Sweet Violet Room, which also had its own little patio and access to outside. The place is blissfully away from the tiny town center of Rhinebeck, but close enough to drive/​walk the 3 miles to town when needed. The farm itself is vast and charming, with well-​cared for horses, chicken, cows etc, lots of chairs and swings planted all across the main area of the farm — which provided us with ample opportunity to explore and to get in touch with nature before proceeding to the hiking trail that goes by the water. Maggie’s breakfast was the absolute cherry on top. In addition to scrumptious freshly baked cakes and pies that were laid out on the table for guests throughout the day — she made amazing breakfast with eggs made to order and freshly made biscuits and French toasts. Maggie was super attentive, helpful and caring. She even dropped us off to town center on our way back. Rhinebeck is a small town with not a lot to do. So Whistlewood provided us with the perfect opportunity to do a lot over the weekend and enjoy its natural beauty. Would highly recommend and definitely plan to go back!

Overall I had a great experience and would highly recommend this Bed and Breakfast in Rhinebeck. Maggie is very accommodating. B&B is very clean. Food was great. Centrally located. Its a great get away from the city.

Perfect weekend respite from Manhattan! This place is wonderful… quaint, cozy, and charming! We pulled up to check in and the owner, Maggie, greeted us at the door… by our first names! As we walked in she offered us fresh baked cookies! I was an immediate fan.
It’s close enough to the wineries and the cute little town of Rhinebeck. The rooms are clean and well appointed. In the evenings you can sit on the cozy couches in the living room area and enjoy the fireplace. And the breakfast in the morning… amazing!
You must stay at WhistleWood Farm!

My wife and I stayed here a few years ago and loved it so much we know we’d be back. We visit Rhinebeck fairly regularly and there are lots of places to choose from but this one is highly recommended. Maggie is a wonderful hostess and goes the extra mile to make sure her guests have everything they need. The house itself is charming with a very authentic horse farm vibe; no pretentious airs, just a nice clean and cozy atmosphere. The highlights for us include a fantastic common room with the best fireplace ever, friendly guests to say hello to from around the world, and beautiful grounds — it’s worth the stroll to walk off dinner. And you’ll want to walk it off because Maggie lays a table full of the most delicious pies, cakes and muffins! Add to that, some terrific hearty breakfasts to get you ready for your day. Finally, you’ll be greeted by the sight of beautiful horses out in the fresh clean country air as you come and go– what could be nicer? Two thumbs up.

I’ve always been a little wary of B&B’s…that fear was vanquished by Maggie and her awesome staff at Whistlewood. 5 minutes from the heart of Rhinebeck, sits an impeccable place of peace and serenity with horses, cows, and beautiful gardens. The rooms are beautiful, large, and private with their own little private terrace areas.
Breakfast was a delight with countless cakes, pies, and fresh warm muffins followed by organic eggs with fresh herbs and veggies, if desired. Maggie, the best and most appreciative host, went out of her way to give local wining and dining tips, as well as some destination activities nearby.
we are looking forward to next year’s trip already!

If you want to find calm from the big city, this is your place!
WWF is charming, spot less, att to every detail has been made and continues each day!
The rms are so peaceful, the farm animals are so well cared for and the eggs for breakfast are the best!
Maggie is the inn keeper and she makes you feel right at home.
This place feels more like your visiting your auntie’s place and that within the first hr of your stay, you will think you have always come up to the farm!
I highly recommend WWF to those who want R&R, Clean air, beautiful flower gardens, a great breakfast and a serene experience!
can’t wait to go back!

This place is so full of charm. Maggie, the innkeeper is lovely and continuously goes out of her way to make your stay better. There is a large table that is full of home baked goods available at all times. Breakfast is delicious with pancakes and made to order eggs from her back yard with your selection of any vegetable and herbs. There are chickens, horses and donkeys that you can feed — Maggie will give you scraps from breakfast for the animals.

Love this place. My wife and I stayed there for our anniversary. Beautiful and romantic place in a real farm with horses and chickens and cows.
Maggie is a great host. Organic eggs and fresh muffins for breakfast, not to mention the best homemade apple pie I’ve ever ate.

Whistle Wood Farm was the perfect respite for myself and my three teens on our New York State college tour. Maggie is a wonderful inn keeper, not hovering over us, but making sure we were very comfortable. We took some short hikes, visiting her farm animals, and had a delicious breakfast. Its just a short ride to downtown Rhinebeck and a highlight of our road trip!

Cozy, warm and beautifully decorated with lovely afternoon tea and great walks along the grounds. We love the Violet Room and the tranquility here when we need to escape the city. A roaring fireplace greets you in the evenings, and a homemade breakfast each morning. Rhinebeck itself is a charming little gem on the Hudson, and well worth the trip.

I have always enjoyed my multiple stays at Whistlewood. Maggie and the gang are wonderful and there is a calmness on the farm. The baked goods and delicious breakfast is one of my favorite meals. I highly recommend Whistlewood for your next B&B stay!

Not usually a bed & breakfast affectionado but if they were all as beautiful and clean as this one, I’d stay all the time everywhere i go! Furnishings gorgeous, rustic and comfy. Clean as can be. I’d hire Maggie to be my decorator in a second! Farm is peaceful and just an all around great place to stay.

fantastic inn on a beautiful farm. very clean and really lovely décor with fantastic breakfast. I will go back for sure.
