"WhistleWood Farm Bed & Breakfast provides a relaxing, comfortable atmosphere with eclectic antique furnishings, fireplaces, comfy sofas and chairs, warm handmade quilts and delicious breakfasts. Guests can take advantage of miles of hiking trails, say “hi” to our friendly horses, our donkey “Tigger” and chickens, and take in breathtaking sunsets and clear starry nights."

"WhistleWood is a working farm with horses, cows, donkeys, and free-range chickens. But this country retreat pampers guests with four-poster king beds, whirlpool tubs, gourmet breakfasts, and an all-day buffet of home-made pies, fresh fruit, and other treats. Explore hiking and horse trails, feed the chickens, socialize in sunny communal areas or curl up by the fire with a good book."

"We’re usually not big on bed & breakfasts, but WhistleWood Farm is too good to pass up. Located just three miles from town, this 7-room B&B was exceptionally cool. Eclectic antique furnishings, fireplaces, comfy sofas and chairs, warm handmade quilts adorn the place. Breakfast is large and delicious, with eggs fresh from the chickens that you’ll hear clucking away in the mornings. Every room is designed by Maggie, WhistleWood’s owner and caretaker for more than 30 years, who is delightful."

"Located in Rhinebeck, the WhistleWood Farm Bed & Breakfast provides a relaxing atmosphere with eclectic antique furnishings. This working farm has horses, cows, donkeys, and free-range chickens. Guests can spend the night in four-poster king beds, relax whirlpool tubs, and eat gourmet breakfasts."

"Maggie Myer is the owner of the charming Whistlewood Farm Bed and Breakfast, a 40-acre farm that is home to livestock, gardens, and trails. Visitors are invited to help Myer feed her horse, donkey and chickens that provide eggs for her generous breakfasts and the pies, cookies and banana breads on her all-hours dessert table."

"The real reason you’re waking up at this B&B/working farm is owner Maggie Myer, your amicable, hospitable host for the weekend. She’s constantly whipping up baked goods — from blueberry muffins to strawberry rhubarb pie — that sit in the kitchen, tempting you to snag a late-night snack. At breakfast, she’ll cook your eggs (which are sourced directly from chickens freely pecking about the property) to order, then serve as your useful guide to Rhinebeck’s dining and entertainment scene, hand-drawn map included."

“There are tons of towns upstate that are easy to get to by train, like Rhinebeck. There you'll find epic Hudson River views and access (it's actually clean enough to swim in up there) and lots of adorable, country-themed inns like Whistlewood Farm. There you will literally wake up to the sound of chickens and donkeys, and a farm-fresh breakfast with your name on it. Turn your phone off and enjoy the quiet life.”

"Rhinebeck is chock-full of inns and B&Bs. Among my favorite: WhistleWood Farm Bed & Breakfast, a working farm about three miles outside of town. Maggie, the proprietress, serves scrumptious breakfasts with homemade jams, breads, buttermilk pancakes and herb omelets made fresh with her hens’ eggs. I’ve stayed in the Wyoming room, aptly named with chaps hanging from the pine-paneled walls, a red vintage canoe suspended from the ceiling, and a persimmon-tiled fireplace that gives the room a warm, cozy glow."

"As you enter the driveway and drive by pastures dotted with grazing horses, you realize this is not the typical over-upholstered B&B- it’s country-chic as inspired by Ralph Lauren. An antique cook stove in the well-used kitchen serves as the baked-goods shelf – with homemade sweets available 24 hours a day."

"Two separate couples tell us how they’ve returned again and again, almost hesitant to let the word out about what they see as a travel secret. One New Yorker says he and his wife find themselves asking: “Why go anywhere else once we’ve found this?”

"There are just seven rooms at Whistlewood, which means my host, Maggie, knew who I was the moment I set foot in her home. We'd already spoken on the phone and arrival was like meeting a new friend in person for the first time..."

"For those looking for a generous combination of country living and pampering wrapped into a weekend getaway, the Whistlewood Farm in the heart of the Hudson Valley is a great option."

"For a true taste of the wild countryside, consider staying at the Whistlewood Farm Bed & Breakfast, situated near the Rhinebeck Performing Arts Center, Rhinebeck Tennis Club, and Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome. Wake up to the sound of whinnying horses or the smell of a homemade breakfast."

"For an intimate country getaway, try the six-room WhistleWood Farm B&B;, nestled on a hilltop on the outskirts of Rhinebeck."

"Guests relax by the fire, in the solarium, or on the deck, but most often they can be found hanging out in Maggie’s kitchen, sampling buttermilk pancakes, French toast, or scrambled eggs and bacon or sausage, all set out on the 1904 Gold Coin cookstove. In the afternoon, homemade fruit pie and chocolate-chip coffee cake with iced tea or lemonade will tempt even the strongest-willed. "

"You can't help but leave the city pressures behind as you drive up the fence-lined road to this farm where horses graze. The main house is homey and rustic, with more-refined, contemporary-country guest rooms."
