Top New York Romantic Inns and Hotels

Winter Clove Inn has long been famous for its fine food, lodging and country hospitality. But we think this Hudson Valley inn is so much more than that. It’s a return to romance with manicured lawns, mature trees and a wraparound porch with Hudson River views—all straight out of a 19th century painting.

If the picture-perfect scenery of the Winter Clove Inn doesn’t inspire your inner romantic, we don’t know what will. Perhaps hitting the slopes at Windham Mountain, a few twirls around an indoor ice skating rink and a tour of the scenic countryside on horseback will do the trick? Or hike to the waterfall, where Winter Clove Creek flows under covered bridges, cascades down rock cliffs and empties into a pristine swimming hole. Finish your evening with antique bowling in the renovated carriage house. Winter Clove Inn pairs a plethora of romance-inspiring activities with a full country breakfast, picnic lunch to take with you and a complimentary bottle of wine with dinner in the Fireside Dining Room. Beat the winter blues in the cozy, comfortable guest rooms of this white country inn. This home away from home takes historic colonial décor and pairs it with 21st century amenities for ultimate comfort.
