Frommer's Review
New ownership took over this property in 2006, and the jury's out on whether they will keep it at the high level it had previously attained; reports have been mixed. Still, this remains a elegant choice just a 5-minute drive west of the Woodstock village center. The home was built in 1890 in a Queen Anne style by a lumber baron (named Johnson, not Jackson) who hoarded the best wood for himself; the cherry and maple floors here are beautiful. Later owners attached their names to the inn and ran it for years; an addition in 1997 created a wing of four suites with additional amenities such as fireplaces and Jacuzzis. Most guest rooms are well appointed with antiques, though some of the older rooms are a bit small and you need to remember this is an old building -- floors may be thinner than you expected. One of the biggest surprises here (well, it's not now) is the evening hors d'oeuvres-and-wine get-together; guests really seem to enjoy this social time. There's also a 3-acre backyard with formal gardens, and a pond where you can swim. The location, a stone's throw off a busy stretch of Route 4, detracts slightly from the tranquillity, but the inn's restaurant is very good most nights, though it's a bit pricey. Study the night's menu -- along with some other local choices -- before committing to a reservation.
