Not a B&B, but still a Beautiful Guesthouse
The Moondance Ridge B&B is no longer a B&B, but the new owner Pablo has inaccurately left the listing as a B&B. Pablo the host is a kind, decent person, but his listing is flat-out wrong. The guesthouse (which is what it should be called) is beautiful. Two of the upper rooms have interior balconies that look over the dining room. The exterior windows look over green landscaping. The house is only two miles from downtown New Paltz. The bed mattresses are extra firm (ie: not very uncomfortable) and are unfortunately extra high, approximately 34" above the floor. My wife had to put a chair next to the bed in order to climb in. She moved over to the extra couch bed for both her safety and a more comfortable night's sleep. Pablo offers a continental breakfast, but the only hot items are coffee/tea, instant oatmeal, and bagels (if you toast them). The few pastries were sugary grocery store stuff. He did have decent granola, but I did not stay in a B&B in order to eat cereal and milk. During our stay, the hot water stopped working after the first evening. He could not fix it and was kind enough to refund the second night so we could stay elsewhere. Based on prior reviews, this is a repeat problem which is why I am mentioning it.

Comfortable stay
Everything was OK quiet, peaceful, and comfortable close to town. Breakfast was a surprise as it was a continental breakfast not a hot breakfast as we have had at most BNB’s. Climate was controlled centrally, not by The individual room. The host was attentive

Property owner is not on site. Checking in with code was successful, but no air conditioning was on in the house. We did eventually get in touch with the owner, who turned the A/c on remotely. The room we were assigned to never cooled off, and the owner offered a second bedroom to change to. Breakfast was not a home-cooked meal, but self-serve items such as cereal, fruit, yogurt, packaged bagels, cookies. Keurig Coffee maker and tea selection available. Very limited protein option other than yogurt. The owner did response when I asked for some protein options, and added a plate of sliced cheddar cheese to the refrigerated display case in the morning. The property itself was lovely, with big bedrooms and baths. But, it was way out in the middle of nowhere, and felt pretty isolated. There are cats in the premises and although they are suppose to be “outside cats”, they easily got into the house anytime a door was opened. We are highly allergic to cats, and were affected in all the rooms. Most of the rooms are on the second floor, and require suitcases to be carried up a long stairway. Be aware of which room you book. Many previous high recommendations were from the era that this B&B was run by a couple living onsite.

A respite in the road of life.
My wife and I stayed there because we were going to a wedding. My only complaint was that my wife and I couldn't enjoy this beautiful B & B. For a quiet, a little rustic, out of the way lodging, go there and you will be undoubtedly impressed. We're definitely going back for the Fall season.

Quiet stay
We had a great stay. The breakfast options left much to be desired but it wasn’t terrible. Just grab n go stuff. The rooms were great and ours had a jacuzzi. The location was very secluded and perfect for a quiet getaway from the city. I would stay again if I’m in the area.

I feel like it was falsely advertised. Staff was available, but I did not like that. The thermostat had to be controlled remotely by someone else instead of One being in the room. When you walk inside the house, it smells really weird. It was very cold the first night and took a long time for the heat to warm up. There was a dog there on the second day barking for a long time. There was not many breakfast options. Only prepackaged food. I feel like when you’re staying there, you should know who else is staying in other rooms in the house. Felt more like a hostel instead of a bed-and-breakfast.

Gem in The woods
Beautiful B&B however the breakfast was a stale bagel or an apple . Property is beautiful , bed super comfy , however I wish there was a microwave . No kitchen facility at all. I was there all alone and For a single woman that was a bit unsettling . I would however recommend this to couples looking for a tranquil beautiful spot.I do think they should put a few bottles of water , or offer such things as yogart , cereal , or muffins in addition to the individual packaged bagel.

We had a great stay at the Moondance. Loved the big ole jetted tub in the Moondance Suite! The bed was comfy and the room spacious. The breakfast was simple, bagels and other baked goods, with some fruit and DIY fresh squeezed orange juice. We'll definitely be back.

To be honest, nothing is in the picture, but the worst thing was that check in was for 3 , me and my partner arrived at 4 pm and the room wasn’t clean, we found the cleaning lady inside. So we couldn’t go in till 5 pm . The room isn’t like in the picture, the tv was in the back of the room . No one in the house and no microwave in the room and no microwave in the dining room. No communication at all , no body care for us . We stayed the night with a bad energy from the cleaning lady and the man who was responsible for this , his name Pablo , and we left our stay at 10 pm to come back home . It was a nightmare. Never go back , I don’t recommend to no one. The worst experience ever. We went for relax and was the opposite.
