This is a quaint little lodge consisting of 8 rooms sitting on a beautiful property. It is a mom and pop lodge. My boyfriend and I decided to stay at Silvanus Lodge after I researched some motels&hotels in the area for skiing Christmas weekend. Silvanus Lodge had the best price so we booked it. I'm so happy that we did... More

My son and I having been going to the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival for years and in the beginning we camped on the festival grounds. We got tired of that and were able to get a room at the Silvanus. We now consider our time at Steele's lodge to be an integral part of the experience. The coffee and conversation... More

Thanks for the kind words. I wish we had a few more festivals as we are truly well located for this particular event. I'm guessing it is a peaceful escape from all the excitement of the festival. And given you are about the best conversationalist I know, we can't take too much credit for that! Thank you again. More

Small, but nicely done room, with all the amenities we needed. Everything was clean and in good shape. Decor is interesting and tasteful, with upbeat funky sense of humor. Back door opening to the beautiful, multi-acre lawn, surrounded by woods, is a huge bonus to the character of the Silvanus Lodge. Sunrise thru the trees was a treat. Morning coffee... More

If you don't go expecting a five-star hotel, you should enjoy it. We had a very good summer weekend night in July. Near swimming holes, Hudson and with its own pool, we found it clean and simple. The owner was helpful in identifying places to go swimming and to wander around. The rooms are motel-sized, ie not big, but well-maintained... More

Thank you! I couldn't ask for more than four stars! Perhaps one day I'll figure out how to maintain rates and still achieve top marks. Mostly, I'm glad you enjoyed the motel and the incredible tri-state region!!! The "worn" part is a very true statement. The Silvanus is now well over the half-century mark and it is a daily battle...

My girlfriend and I travel frequently and we always try to find smaller family owned establishments as opposed to impersonal generic chains. With the Silvanus Lodge we pretty much lucked upon a place we'll definitely return to. The check-in process was quick & painless and Steele (the owner) is very helpful in explaining anything & everything about the motel and... More

Well, THANK YOU very much. I still think I'm a solid "4", but am so grateful for a "5"! The best news is that you will be back - and that is very good. If I had a 1,000 more guests just like you, I could take a long, long vacation! Kindest regards, Steele More

We felt welcome and important upon arrival.. The website was informative and inviting. Our stay was relaxed, quiet, clean and convenient. The Silvanus Lodge exceeded all our expectations and we will return. Not only was the Lodge wonderful all the guests we met were friendly and happy making our stay even more enjoyable. We highly recommend the Silvanus Lodge. More

Thank you! It is always overwhelming to get top marks. We clearly are not there yet, but it is motivational to get the positive feedback. Had a hard time figuring out which guest this was... so, please let us know so that we can pay you! (KIDDING, just added that to keep the Trip Advisor editors on their toes). Still... More

Silvanus is very clean and moderately priced, and the beds are quite comfortable. We've found it excellently located for trips to the many attractions in Columbia County and the Berkshires. The owner is very available, and he's quite helpful with tips about restaurants, local attractions, and so on. Complimentary coffee is provided in the morning, and the owner was happy... More

We don't do this sort of thing perhaps we feel it is for a younger generation. However, the owner has become a friend as of our first stay in June 2011. He sent us an email after we left to see if we had any recommendations, and since we loved the place he send a nice follow up email asking... More

There were 8 of us among 4 rooms for a long weekend and we all enjoyed the inn. The location is central to the area and is only a few miles from Catamount; in addition the owner Steele was very charming and helpful in recommending sights for a rainy day as well as restaurants he thought we would like.

Just got back from an impromptu stay at the Silvanus Lodge. Was blown away by the super stylish decor, have never seen boutique styling like this in a 50's country motel, except at the Roxbury Motel near Plattekill Mountain. Loved it! The rooms have front AND back doors which is also unusual in a motel room, and allows for uninterrupted... More
