Hasbrouck House
A 1759 Dutch stone farmhouse, now a wellness-forward country inn.
Hasbrouck House is a 1759 Dutch stone farmhouse on a country road in Stone Ridge, NY, reworked into a 19-room country inn with a serious restaurant, a saltwater pool, and yoga most mornings. The bones are the bones — three-foot-thick limestone walls, low ceilings, original beams — and the renovation added what was missing without trying to scrub the age out.
It's the rare Hudson Valley inn that does the wellness register without leaning hard into it. There's a sauna and yoga and clean food, but there's also a fireplace bar with a long pour list and a dining room that locals book for anniversaries. Rates start around $285. Less than the Catskills A-list, more honest than most.
The setting
Stone Ridge is a small Ulster County town on Route 209 between Kingston and New Paltz, about ninety minutes from New York City. The hamlet itself is a stretch of stone houses, a couple of antique shops, a bakery, and not much else. The hotel sits a short drive off the main road, on enough land to feel rural without being remote.
Inside thirty minutes: Mohonk Preserve, Minnewaska State Park, the Ashokan Reservoir, Kingston's Stockade District, High Falls, and New Paltz's Wallkill Rail Trail. The Mid-Hudson Bridge to Rhinebeck is forty.
The building
The main house is a 1759 Dutch Colonial — limestone, hand-hewn beams, deep-set windows, the sloped Gambrel roofline that the Hudson Valley Dutch built across this region. Around it: a barn-style outbuilding, a guest cottage, gardens, the pool. Materials are honest: stone, wood, white plaster, slate. The interiors are layered but not loud — vintage rugs, simple linen, a few antiques per room rather than a wall of them.
The rooms
Nineteen keys split between the main house, an adjacent building, and a small cottage. Main-house rooms feel the most historic — low ceilings, exposed stone, cozier. The newer rooms are larger and quieter. Bathrooms have been fully redone; beds are good; details are restrained. Most rooms hold two; a few accommodate small families.
Food & drink
The Butterfield, on the ground floor of the main house, is the restaurant — seasonal, vegetable-forward, with a kitchen that takes the Hudson Valley larder seriously. Non-guests can book; weekend tables fill out. The bar adjoining it is a destination of its own and worth a stop on the way home from a hike.
On the property
The grounds are the quiet draw — lawns, gardens, a koi pond, the saltwater pool, Adirondack chairs in the right places. Yoga most mornings. A small wellness program of sound baths and reiki rotates through the calendar.

Nearby
Mohonk Preserve and Minnewaska State Park are the two big hikes — twenty and thirty minutes respectively. Westwind Orchard in Accord does cider and wood-fired pizza. Arrowood Farms makes its own beer. The Ashokan Rail Trail, around the reservoir, is one of the easiest beautiful walks in the state. Kingston's Stockade District is a half-hour for dinner; New Paltz's Main Street the same in the other direction.
