I was under the impression when you stay at a bed and breakfast that breakfast was included. Found out didn’t spend enough money a night to include breakfast. I think spending over $500 for 2 nights , breakfast should have been included. Also had to ask for housekeeping on second day. Will never stay there again.

Lovely well maintained Inn

Great attention to detail and very clean with excellent instructions upon arrival. We stayed in the Annex which was very nice, private and quiet. A-lot of thought has gone into the details, very comfortable bed and even a heating lamp in the bathroom.

B&B

The place was nice and the manager Nicole was very pleasant. The only problem was that there was no breakfast offered in the B&B if you stayed in the annex. This might be a miscommunication between Hotels.com and the hotel but it should be specified during booking.

4/10 Poor

Jonathan

Guests beware: this is a self-proclaimed B&B that provides breakfast to only some guests. The only way to know that before making a NONREFUNDABLE reservation is to somehow understand that because "breakfast" is not included as a "amenity," the room in this "B&B" doesn't include breakfast. Clearly, I am not the first to have this misunderstanding, as the room has at least three notices stating in large letters, "this room does not get breakfast." When I mentioned this, the proprietor stated in part that the high price of eggs made it impossible for a breakfast to be provided -- with a room cost of almost $300 nightly. Never ever again.

The wall needed a few repairs near the old door, and that door allowed such a frigid draft under it that we rolled a towel up and stuffed it the crack. Breakfast would have been an extra charge where we were staying (not something we understood when we booked, and with no coffee amenities in the room, this felt inhospitable. The walls are paper thin, and since the inn is near a hospital, we heard all traffic, including emergency vehicles as clearly as if we were in a tent. The windows' (white) blinds leak so much ambient, outside light that my husband and I were unable to get to sleep. Any sound from the couple in the room next to ours could be heard clearly. My husband and I tiptoed around, so as not to disturb them. The best I can say is that check in was easy--they left my key in a mailbox. The sheets were clean.

Epic Luxury, Comfort, and Quaint homey vibes

I absolutely loved everything about Homestead. It’s luxurious yet comfortable like you’re at home…except a full service home that comes with a personal chef, house keeping, and a spa bath! The Innkeeper, Antonio, is an absolute gem of a human! He takes such beautiful care of the property and the guests. The home feels like you stepped back in time but it is meticulous and crafted with beautiful antiques for the period of the home. Then the rooms are fully updated and luxurious like you’re in a five star resort spa. I stayed in the Monroe Suite. It was the epitome of comfort. The linens are so comfortable as well as the bed. I took regular baths in the spa tub. I did not want to leave. Breakfast was decadent and delicious and they were so kind to completely accommodate my allergies and intolerances of certain foods. I wasn’t expecting that but they wanted me to have exactly what I could. I cannot wait to come back and stay in another one of their suites since each room has a different aesthetic. Thank you for the most wonderful three night stay!!

Buyer beware: Have you ever heard of a B&B that only provides breakfast to some guests? I hadn't. It turns out that the only way someone knows that a particular room doesn't include breakfast, prior to paying, is to surmise the same from the fact that breakfast isn't included as an "amenity," or, after making a NON REFUNDABLE reservation, reading the fine print AFTER paying a non-refundable reservation. When I mentioned my surprise, the proprietor also noted that my reservation, about $300/night, wasn't at a high enough price point to cover the price of eggs. (Yes, he really said that.) I wasn't actually in the Inn, but some in a row of rooms about 5 feet from the road. Worst value in a B&non-B I've experienced, alas.

A stylish New England Inn

This is a beautiful inn with rooms available in the main house. We stayed in the annex and unfortunately the room was too bright and stuffy to sleep properly for our one night stay. However, on the plus side the annex had access to the main house which had a beautiful sitting room with games and food and drinks available. I would conclude : consider paying more and staying in the house itself.

My daughter and I had a wonderful time in New Milford and at the Homestead Inn. First and foremost, the staff was wonderful and welcoming. We were greeted upon arrival and Antonio offered many helpful suggestions regarding area eateries and things to do - even places to park on our side trip to Yale in New Haven! Catherine was also very accommodating, going to extra lengths to assure that my daughter with food allergies was safe. The property was very clean and the area very charming. Restaurants, shops, etc. all walkable.
