Beacon Hermitage

My partner and I had a lovely time staying here. We were looking for some place peaceful and charming, and this is absolutely it. Jim delights in his hosting role and was wonderful to chat with. Highly recommend for anyone looking to get away.

We took the train up from the city, and getting to/from Beacon required Uber/Lyft rides which wasn't a deal breaker, but would be even better if we had a car.

The feel of a home away from home. Exceptional hosts with delicious home baked breakfast. We recommend 100% and will return! Thanks for everything! Your lovely home is a dream :)

Perfect for a little weekend getaway out of the city. Very charming home and space, and the gardens were beautiful. Jim and Joe were both absolutely lovely and the breakfast was great. We took Lyfts/ Uber to both Beacon and Cold Springs and had no difficulties getting around without a car. Jim was kind enough to drop us off at the train station on our way back home. There was also an easy and scenic trail within walking distance to the home.

Le charme authentique et opulent, l’accueil charmant et très efficace de Jim. Très bien situé pour tout amateur de nature et de culture. Nous avons adoré.

The house was warm and inviting, great srt pieces all around, lovely host. Great trails in the garden and relaxing meditative spots along the trails. 5 minutes from town yet secluded in the woods. I mean the waterfall is right there on the property and has trails with statues and gardens what more can i say wonderful stay especially for price.

Breakfast was good, coffee machine, danishes and fruit. Would of been nice to have some eggs or meat but not important just a recommendation for host here.

Gorgeous property with beautiful art throughout the place in a beautiful secluded location. The owners are extremely sweet and accommodating. The breakfast pastries were delicious.

Watch out for stink bugs if you come in May

The outside grounds are nice, quiet and remote.

Unfortunately our room has roaches, found one on my clothing. Dogs were aggressively barking in the morning, wasn’t sure if they would attack or not. Breakfast in the morning was extremely disgusting.

The owner was very friendly and helpful and fun to talk to. He actually gave us a lift into town as we were leaving. The artwork was marvelous, the garden magical and the bed comfortable.

If the owner hadn't given us a lift into town, we would have had to take a taxi--we're New Yorkers and love to walk, but not without sidewalks. But the fact that it was in the countryside made it more charming--and we got that lift. So all was well.
