About The Woodstock Inn on the Millstream
The Woodstock Inn on the Millstream has welcomed guests since 1996, tucked along Tannery Brook Road just a short walk from the center of Woodstock, one of America's most famous small towns. The draw is the setting: the property is wrapped around the cascading Millstream, with manicured gardens, Adirondack chairs, and a swimming hole that make the grounds feel like a natural sanctuary a few minutes from the village shops and galleries. Rooms, suites, and standalone cottages each have their own private entrance, keeping the stay quiet and self-contained. The inn is meticulously kept, its historic character preserved while everything stays fresh, and it has built a reputation on genuinely warm hospitality and grounds that guests return to season after season.
What The Woodstock Inn on the Millstream Is Known For
The Woodstock Inn on the Millstream has quietly perfected the streamside retreat. Few places manage to sit this close to a famous village while feeling this much like a natural sanctuary, and fewer still keep their grounds to this standard year after year, gardens manicured, historic character intact, everything fresh. The private-entrance rooms with their cedar porches and decks over the water give every guest a direct line to the Millstream, and the daily breakfast and warm, attentive hospitality turn a good location into a place people come back to for decades.

The Room
Accommodations range from cozy standard rooms to deluxe suites and full cottages, each with its own private entrance rather than a shared hallway. Rooms are appointed with superior beds and quality linens, Aveda bath products, and hairdryers throughout. Deluxe rooms add electric fireplaces, and select rooms include spa tubs. Cottages and premium rooms come with kitchenettes stocked with supplies, and the inn never charges an extra cleaning fee. What ties the accommodations together is their relationship to the outdoors: many rooms open onto a private deck, a back patio, or a cedar porch set right over the Millstream, so the sound of moving water carries into the stay.
The Grounds
The grounds are the heart of the inn. The Millstream cascades through the property, feeding a swimming hole and setting a constant, gentle soundtrack, while lush, manicured gardens fill in around the buildings. Adirondack chairs, patios, and hammocks are scattered across the landscaped grounds for lingering. Cedar porches and private decks reach out toward the water, and parking sits close to the rooms. Despite the wooded, streamside calm, the village center is only a short walk away, so the grounds feel like a retreat without ever feeling remote.
The Experience
A stay here moves at the pace of the stream. Mornings begin with a full breakfast in the lobby and coffee carried out to a chair by the water. Days can go two directions: a few minutes on foot into Woodstock village for shopping, galleries, and dinner, or a slow afternoon in the gardens with a book and the sound of the Millstream. The staff are known for going above and beyond, and the whole property is kept with obvious care, gardens tended, interiors fresh, everything in its place. Evenings end streamside, maybe by an electric fire, with the water still running past your door.
