Innkeeper(s): David Smythe, Justine Smythe

Circa 1890. Breakfast is the most important, and the most delicious, meal of the day at this Saugerties, New York inn. Both innkeepers are professional chefs who delight in making personalized breakfasts. Gaze at the Catskill Mountains while enjoying Chantilly Crepes, Eggs in Cocotte, Banana Walnut Pancakes, or a light Parfait. This Classic American Shingle Style Colonial has elegant guest rooms lit by Tiffany-style lamps. Relax in the spacious waterside suite or three-bedroom apartment in the Cottage on Esopus Creek. Hike half-a-mile up a stone staircase to witness Kaaterskill Falls, the highest waterfalls in the state. Ski or zip line through the mountains. Get a panoramic view of the Hudson River from the top of Saugerties Lighthouse.

We loved our little cottage, and enjoyed the new deck and waterside patio very much. Breakfast made by Chef Smythe was of course as amazing as always. We love visiting our family in Saugerties and glad to have a great place to stay and call home.

In planning a memorable birthday weekend for my boyfriends 24th, I looked for several things - a beautiful house, fantastic amenities, and a B&B that truly lived up to the "breakfast" in its title. We got all those things and more at Smythe House.
