Love at the ElmRock Inn

So many exciting things happening at Hudson Valley Green!  I've been contacted by several different vendors recently.  I can't wait to partner with them to bring you some great information about local businesses doing wonderful things right here in the Hudson Valley...

And so when I received the invitation to attend the grand opening of the ElmRock Inn in Stone Ridge (Ulster County), I was excited.  The opportunity to check out a newly restored bed and breakfast, taste locally sourced food prepared by a fabulous chef, and meet some great new people, how could I say no to that?

Chef Mark Suszczynski and his beautiful wife, Kim Weeks, threw one helluva good grand opening party.  The food was delicious and the setting was gorgeous.  Nestled on five verdant acres, this Inn is just perfect.  Spoiler alert: be prepared for lots of photos in this post!

Chef Mark and Kim have restored the Inn using local master carpenters and have redecorated using period furniture from some of the local antique stores.  The interior of the Inn is absolutely beautiful.  The dining room can accomodate 50 guests seated...perfect for rehearsal dinners or smaller, more intimate weddings.  The magnificent windows, letting in so much natural light, really add to the ambience of the space.

There is no site fee for ElmRock Inn if the entire Inn is booked for a two-night stay.  The Inn accommodates 14 overnight guests and the neighboring carriage house accommodates an additional 6 guests.  All rooms in the Inn are equipped with private baths (I so love that!).  Both the Inn and carriage house are equipped with WiFi.

Yep, that's a fireplace! How many hotels have you been to that have a fireplace in your room???

And if the interior of the Inn doesn't totally woo you, then just take a stroll around the grounds.  The acoustic guitarist at the grand opening was a fabulous touch!

Chef Mark prepares all of the cuisine at ElmRock Inn.  The food was absolutely delish.  Chef Mark and his catering company, HarvestReal Food,  source many of their ingredients from local farms (I wish I would have taken photos but I was too busy eating!).

Pricing is competitively set, starting at $55 per person. Tent, table, and chair rentals incur additional costs. For any event over 50 people, a toilet trailer must be rented. For more information about hosting your event at ElmRock Inn, visit http://elmrockinn.com, or contact Tammy Basten, the ElmRock Inn event coordinator, at 845-687-4492.
