Tucked away on a scenic patch of farmland in Milton, Buttermilk Falls Inn offers a beautiful escape from the hectic and the mundane.
The inn boasts 10 uniquely designed rooms, in addition to eight cottages and guesthouses; a full-service, farm-to-table restaurant; a spa and sauna; and, of course, gorgeous views of a rural corner of the Hudson Valley. In other words, it’s an ideal location for a romantic weekend getaway or a picturesque wedding.
Inn manager and Hudson Valley native CJ Hartwell-Kelly says it’s all part of the carefully curated guest experience at Buttermilk Falls: “Many businesses want to create something that will appeal to everyone. What sets us apart is a drive to offer an experience unique to the individual and the occasion.”

At Buttermilk Falls Inn, each guestroom, cottage, and guesthouse is decorated with its own unique flair. The atmosphere is “a masterful blend of old and new,” CJ says, preserving historical charm while offering guests contemporary comforts. Plus, the inn’s lush, 75-acre property also features an orchard, a farm, gardens, and an animal rescue sanctuary (adorable llamas and farm animals abound!). “The vibe is without pretense,” CJ explains. “I mean, how can you be uptight while strolling the grounds and hanging out with a llama?”
Breakfast offerings are nothing short of fresh: each morning, guests can expect a “hearty country breakfast” featuring Buttermilk Falls Inn farm-fresh eggs, local baked goods, and seasonal fruit. The inn also offers afternoon tea, complete with housemade baked goods—think croissants, danishes, scones, and Buttermilk Falls’ own carrot cake, a repeat guest favorite. Guests can also partake in the inn’s luxury spa services. With six treatment rooms, an indoor “endless” pool, and a eucalyptus steam room, the spa at Buttermilk Falls has a little something for everyone.
Plus, all guests at the inn have full access to the spa’s services. “We find it to be a very popular location for guests to relax and unwind,” CJ says. Brides and grooms-to-be can also look into renting out Buttermilk Falls Inn for weddings. The property has two reception sites and multiple spots ideal for wedding ceremonies.
“We welcome guests to our inn, spa, and restaurant as if they were our closest friends,” CJ says. “That's what hospitality means to me: treating our guests like our favorite people—because they are!”
“We only host one wedding at a time; it circles back to how important the customer experience is to our business philosophy,” CJ notes. “We pretty much host a wedding every weekend from mid-April to mid-November, with a few winter weddings thrown in here and there.” Guests can easily navigate the Buttermilk Falls Inn website to search for available rooms (and preview the inn’s exquisite décor and luxury amenities). The overwhelmingly stellar reviews on sites like TripAdvisor speak to the staff’s care and attention to detail.
