We just stumbled upon this hidden gem. The rooms look recently updated and super clean. The hotel was quiet and cozy. There’s also an attached restaurant. We woke up and had coffee and a chat with one of the owners. The location was perfect for our needs. Close to local attractions. I’d highly recommend this hotel.

The Alander was a great find! Clean, cozy and super comfortable beds. We loved the complimentary local tea, yogurt and granola. I especially appreciated the maps with local places to explore and the host’s suggestions for activities. I hope I will be able to return in the summer to enjoy the outdoor spaces and the fire pit. Thank you for a great stay!

Staff was amazing. They walked us to our room, showed us how things worked, and answered all our qurstions. The room was quite cozy and spacious. The only complaint I had was it was cold. The heat was working but I guess with below 0 temperatures nothing stays warm for long. Although there was about 2' of snow on the floor, the grounds/set up was a great place for large gatherings. I definitely recommend it

We found the Alander to be way more than we expected. The room was clean and comfortable. Staff was incredible. The restaurant on the premises was amazing. We had a great meal and the service was both friendly and efficient. We will probably be back when we are in the area. We highly recommend this property!

My wife and I randomly picked The Alander because we needed a last minute escape after sadly losing our 16 year old dog. I cannot say enough about not just the courtesy, kindness, and efficiency of literally all staff we interacted with, but also how terrifically designed and clean the facilities are. The restaurant and bar attached are top notch as well, and hav eclearly become a destination spot for the local area. Reid, one of the owners, is a great conversationalist, and incredibly attentive to guest's needs. We encountered numerous guests who were also thoroughly impressed with the grounds and facilities and restaurant/bar. We will absolutely be returning. 5 stars.

One bed had previous guest’s makeup on the bed sheets. Bathroom door was very hard to open and close. Black paint scraping off in the bathroom. Mattress wasn’t comfortable, was sinking. Overall, a decent stay with a lot of potential! The restaurant was the highlight. Very delicious food for both dinner and brunch.

A find on NY-22 in Copake

We very much enjoyed our stay! The North Star restaurant is truly a STAR. There is not a thing on the menu we would not order! Service perfect. Our only complaint is the mattress was much too soft. We would certainly return though if only for the North Star. Met one of the owners who was delightful! Hats off for the renovation that has been undertaken.

I was in the area for a wedding so only stayed for a brief overnight. Great communication by the owners. Room was large, charming, and clean. I would definitely stay here again if I was in the area. One thing is to download directions to the hotel and how to get into your room prior to your arrival as cell service in the area is spotty. Once there, it is not a problem as they have excellent WiFi
