The Forsyth B&B

"The bed and breakfast is located on a quiet street just up from the harbor. Parking is easy on street parking. Walk up 6 stairs to the front porch. Lots of places to sit and enjoy the area. Get your code and enter the house. I stayed in the suite. I entered the door that said entrance and saw the rest of the house. A lovely family room, dining table and kitchen. Look on the blackboard for any important information about your stay. Perfect. I entered my suite to find a little cake dish on the table. A perfect way to welcome me to the B&B. My suite was very comfortable decorated in mid modern century furniture and other eclectic pieces. The kitchen was a perfect size. The back bedroom led to the backyard which I did sit outside and enjoy. I would recommend this bed and breakfast. I really wanted to experience the Hudson River sunset cruise but it wasn't opened on a Tuesday night. I went to Armadillo for dinner (on a recommendation from the owner of the Forsyth B&B) which is next to the B&B. Perfect spot for not having to get in your car and drive. Enjoy your next stay at the B&B."

"We had a very pleasant stay at this wonderful Bed and Breakfast. During our 3 day stay we really enjoyed the breakfast prepared by Tamara & Rose . Our room was clean and comfortable. Location was very convenient. We will definitely come back !"

"I held my 40th birthday party here. It was amazing. I am local to Kingston and searched for a venue for several months. I had my party in 2022 and many venues in town or surrounding towns were booked solid because of delayed pandemic weddings and other celebrations that were rebooked. I wanted to have my party in our town but needed a bigger space than our house. I happened to see photos of an event held at the Barn at the Forsyth on an event venue site and it was exactly what I was looking for. We rented the barn - which included use of the the garden for Friday evening until Sunday morning- and an upstairs loft for sleeping. We were allowed to have guests stay in the barn Friday- Sunday morning. It was perfect for a family of out of town guests. Catering is available onsite and if you want to serve alcohol - you have to get the event insurance for your event. I ended up having an incredible party where we ate, danced, and laughed for hours. It was perfect Highlights: Super low key, detail orientated and helpful on site staff. Marla was great. She helped coordinate everything on site prior to our arrival. The barn was a stunning space. It’s a converted barn event space. Simple layout with cement floor and a small bar area. It has a sink, microwave, and coffee maker. Theres also a very cool retro looking cooler we used for drinks. You can make the space your own. The garden is perfect. There are tables and chairs with a few umbrellas. The flowers were in full bloom back there. Perfect! There is a bathroom for guests. On the first floor of the barn. There is a sound system that we used all night and it was amazing. Two tables were available in the space where we put all of our food and drinks. I appreciated that there was no other furniture so we could use the space how we wanted to. We wanted the floor space for dancing and it worked perfectly. Notes: Parking in Kingston on the best of days in a hot mess. There was construction on Abeel Street which made things somewhat worse. Kingston is an old city with steep hills, one way roads and tight corners. There is very limited parking on West Union which is the entrance that all guest not staying in the B & B should use. Being local- we were prepared- we made suggestions of where people should park and made note that anyone who needed walking assistance should be dropped off at the west union entrance. Problem Solved. We made sure to clear out the guests from the Garden by 10 so that we wouldn’t violate the noise ordinance. You can have guests stay inside the barn space after 10 but they can’t go out to the garden after 10. Worked out fine."

"We rented The Forsyth B&B Inn & Barn for our wedding weekend from Thursday until Sunday. We wanted a space big enough for both of our immediate families to stay together for the duration of the weekend. This spot was absolutely perfect. The interior decor is very tastefully done, and goes so well with the existing charm of the space. The artwork selection is fabulous, and there is so much attention to detail that you can't help but appreciate every nook and corner in this space. All of the rooms and bathrooms were very spacious, and the outdoor spaces (porch and back patio) were an added bonus. We held our intimate ceremony in the barn, which even without any added decor was a perfect backdrop for it. The barn has a sound system, a bar setup, bathroom, and loft (which we used as the groom's getting ready space), and it was absolutely perfect. The barn doors open to the street which along with the skylight provided wonderful natural lighting. We also held a post wedding brunch the day after in the barn. Tamara catered this brunch, and WOW, the food was incredible! The quiche, scones, pastries, salad, and everything that Tamara prepared was absolutely delicious, and our guests were all raving about the food. The brunch was also set up beautifully with very sweet labels and tiered displays. From the initial contact throughout the weekend of our wedding, Tamara was so kind, very accommodating, answered any and all questions, and made our wedding weekend even more spectacular. We are so happy that we found the Forsyth B&B, as it was the perfect setting for this special occasion. Many, many thanks! Highly recommend!"

"Tamara’s B&B up in Kingston, NY was so charming and had so much character. The soft jazz that was playing after we self checked into the inn was inviting as well as the atmosphere of the space. The room we stayed in was beautiful, the ceiling was slanted with wood beams and the bathroom had the cutest wallpaper. The backyard and front porch were inviting and we actually ate our breakfast in both spaces during our stay. Speaking of breakfast wow, Tamara outdoes herself with her cooking. My friend had a nut and fish allergy and she was able to cater to her and create a separate breakfast to fit her allergy. Every dish we had was delicious from salmon to vegetable egg quiche and breakfast quesadillas. She was very kind and hospitable during the entire stay. The location is great because it is near the Hudson River and just under 2 hours from the city. Thanks again for the lovely stay, I’ll definitely be recommending the Forsyth to anyone looking for a quick getaway up in the Hudson Valley!"
