The Bradstan Boutique Hotel at The Eldred Preserve

🌿 Peaceful Getaway Near White Lake I stayed two nights and loved the quiet, scenic location just 15 minutes from Bison and Bourbon. The suite was beautiful and impeccably clean—truly one of the cleanest hotel rooms I’ve experienced. The grounds are lovely, with a pool, workout gym,and a walking path around the lake (just note: the path isn’t stroller-friendly, so bring a baby carrier if needed). Kayaks are available too, which is a nice touch. EV drivers will appreciate the on-site chargers—they worked perfectly with the Tesla adapter that comes in the trunk. Service was friendly and laid-back; not pampering, but pleasant. They mentioned a spa is in the works, which could really elevate the experience. Overall, I’d definitely return—especially in winter—and highly recommend it if you’re looking for a peaceful, beautiful escape.

I live in manhattan and have been looking for years for a great summer getaway in ny, nj, or conneticut. The requirements are simple: great outdoor pool, beautiful grounds, clean, good service, not crowded. and a nice bar. I have never been able to find anything that gets decent reviews in all categories. That was until I found this hidden gem. 2 hours from nyc, this place is gorgeous. A nature preserve that is kept beautifully. The rooms are spacious, high tech, and gorgeous with an outdoor deck.|You will not find a speck of dust, dirt, food, or debris anywhere and I mean anywhere. The public bathrooms are always immaculate. The pool is beautiful and drinks served on weekends. The service is great. The best part is that the hotel has about 20 rooms so it's never crowded so no getting up early to save a seat at the pool. There are tons of indood fireplaces, outdoor firepits, and thoughtfully placed tables and chairs throughout the property to find a place to relax. There is a beautiful lake that you can take a canoe or fish or simply walk around. There is a great gym and spa. We will be coming back here often. 5 stars all the way.

We recently spent a few days at the Bradstan, and couldn’t have been happier with the experience! The hotel itself was clean, modern, and cozy- it was chilly for June, and they had the fireplaces going in the sitting areas. ||We found the staff to be extremely nice, and motivated to make our stay enjoyable. The included breakfast was a nice touch!||The grounds are beautifully landscaped, and the we loved the lake access. I would say that the pool was our favorite. I would give it a 10/10 if they had bar service!||Our only complaint isn’t about the hotel, but the Homestead Restaurant. It has amazing potential- view, decor, great bar, etc., but the food was subpar. We ordered apps, meals, and dessert, and not one of them was more than ok. We were definitely disappointed, but we should have listened to the other reviews that stated the same thing. If anything, skip the restaurant, and head straight upstairs to the bar! ||We booked the Bradstan on a whim, and as we were driving away, my husband and I both agreed we would be back!

The Bradstand Boutique Hotel is exceptional, to say the least. My husband and I visited for our 14th anniversary, and our stay was amazing. Beautiful, well-designed, clean rooms, attentive and caring service from the staff, and a delicious complimentary breakfast. The restaurant is a short walk away, and the menu is diverse, and the food is delicious. We loved the peaceful 2-mile walk around the lake and the wildlife in the woods. I highly recommend anyone who wants a tranquil and peaceful break away from New York City.

A memorable stay. Beautiful view, perfect tranquility combined with all modern facilities. The breakfast was great and food at the restaurant is very good too. We loved the decor. The trek along the lake was nice. Lovely welcoming staff. Thanks for making our stay so comfortable.

I must say that this an establishment that absolutely deserves a raving review. Beautifully decorated rooms and immaculate. So incredibly tastefully detailed. Food was outstanding. The service from the second we walked in, to being sat at our table for dinner was warm and welcoming. We were visiting all areas of upstate NY to visit colleges with our first son and wanted a peaceful environment that was comfortable to enjoy before we headed home. The Bradstan did not disappoint. A true gem.

Husband and myself stayed for a concert at Bethel Woods. This hotel is great! Very clean and quiet. The shuttle to Bethel woods was seamless. The included breakfast was nice. We will definitely be back to spend time at the hotel when we aren’t in town for an event.

This is the most beautiful resort, loved our visit and hope to return.|Two things. We went down to breakfast Wednesday morning at 9:30.|I was looking for utensils and a kitchen person said BREAKFAST OVER!|I said I thought it was open till 10, which I verified at the desk.||Also pool hours in room state open at 8am, but sign at pool says 10.||Fabulous pool and love the trail around the lake.

This is definitely pricier than any place I would typically stay. However, I was invited to speak an event here and they offered to pay for the room. it was gorgeous. The room had a lot of little extras that were really cool like a heated towel rack and floor in the bathroom. It's right on a little stream/thing. Plus you can walk to their private lake if you want more water time. One of the workers told me that you can borrow a boat in the summertime, but we were too early for that. This would be a great place to go if you want to feel fancy or if you want to give someone the gift of feeling fancy. Customized continental breakfast was part of the room price. Pictures include dinner over at the restaurant. You will be tempted to buy the fresh cinnamon raisin bread and then you will be disappointed that it gets stale so fast but then you will know to create French toast with it when you get home and all your disappointment will flee!

The Bradstan Boutique Hotel is a beautiful and well run oasis in Sullivan County's Eldred Preserve. The hotel is newly built in a way that blends beautifully with the surroundings. The rooms are large, comfortable and extremely well appointed. The entire hotel is laid out in a way that makes optimal use of the property, providing privacy and quiet as well as common areas in which to gather. Outside, there are plenty of places spread out on the property to exercise and/or relax. The fitness center is large and well equipped. The pool is a fantastic centerpiece on the property and rivals any high end luxury boutique setting I have ever experienced. Scott and Eddie are true professionals and run the place with professionalism and expertise. Attention to detail is next level throughout the establishment from the towels to the bed linens to the coffee and of course the food. The complimentary breakfast is plentiful, delicious and generous. Don't worry about where you will have lunch. Trust me, you won't be hungry. If you want the best BBQ on earth, go find Big Kev on White Lake. Ask for restaurant reservations from anybody at the hotel and you can't go wrong. The Eldred Preserve offers something for everyone, from lakeside running/hiking/walking trails, wildlife, water sports and all of nature's beauty. There's a casino nearby and lots of quaint little towns. Bethel Woods is also nearby. We saw Steve Miller Band in what is now one of my top 3 favorite venues. Outdoors but covered. Fun. New. Clean. Lots of food and drink options. A spa is coming but if you want a massage in the meantime, ask the desk to connect you with Diane. It will change your life. All and all, this has been one of the best vacations ever.

This rating is based on price for a cabin. Beautiful landscape. You will not have anywhere on the premises to have lunch except Saturday/Sunday brunch. There is no valet if you are needing assistance with bags. Good luck if you call the front desk to receive "no answer". Dining here is average and don't recommend the seafood (double cooked) or pork (tough/dry). Pool is great. Some staff is kind but they need hospitality training. The design concept is great but the management/owner needs to follow up with service or it will fall apart.

We can not say enough accolades on the beauty of the grounds and the accommodations are amazing. The restaurant design is beautiful as well. It is an unexpected "Paradise" in Sullivan County. We stayed twice. One room the first time, three rooms the second, for Thanksgiving. Issue: The partners who "run" The Bradstan. You have one who is accommodating and personable who was very prevalent the first visit. On the most recent visit however it was the other partner, Mr. Samuelson when I brought 11 of my family members for the holidays, he was the extreme opposite. So uncomfortable that three of my younger grandkids asked during breakfast "why is he so mean, did we do something wrong?". I noticed that on each and every occasion that the partner as mentioned, was around, the demeanor and mood of the guests around him changed. My take is the "investor's" would want to create an atmosphere where you want to return. Where your recommendations are an important part of doing successful business. Not only for the accommodations but as a venue for celebrations in this beautiful venue as well. Small time thinking and actions might have worked at the previous Bradstan Country Hotel but The Bradstan is not smalltime anymore and should rise to the level of the patrons it expects and needs to be long lived and successful. The Bradstan is new, so growing pains are to be expected. The assistant manager Irvin does a great job considering his tutelage. The desk staff during both stays were always helpful if not completely knowledgeable. I have no problem with that. My problem is that we found a place we wanted to call home away from home but how can you return to a place that so outwardly, through its "manager" shows a total disregard for its patrons. Great place, nice people but do you return to, refer friends, consider use of the venue when the manager shows such a lack of hospitality or any type of appreciation for your patronage.

We celebrated the New Year and stayed overnight. We booked a standard room which was extraordinary. The comfort, cleanliness, and amenities were so much more than standard. The evening began with passed hors-d'oeuvres and then a prime rib, seafood, and pasta to order. All outstanding the quality and presentation were magnificent. The staff from check in, the bar, to wait staff are so friendly and professional. The open bar and toast at midnight added to the fun of the evening. Just when you thought you would bust dessert and bagels with all the fixings. We had a really fun time. The entertainment began with a great cabaret style show and then a DJ to get everyone dancing. I wouldn't wait til New Year. The food offering and beauty of this hotel is a jewel in Sullivan County and would make any occasion special.

This place is not worth the money. There is ongoing construction and not all amenities listed on the website (massages, bike riding, etc) are available. The staff provided next to no recommendations in the area, and instead just directed us to some local pamphlets. When we complained we were told that we were solely paying for our room, so shouldn't be bothered about the rest. The customer service and arrogance/dismissiveness is appalling. Further, when we asked for the hotel to arrange a car service for for a few hours one day, we were told that none could be found; however, after doing 5 minutes of our own research, we quickly found a service. In addition, there appear to be no COVID precautions being taken, as no one is required to show proof of vaccination or wear a mask. The breakfast is also not worth even $5, with only a few plates of food available that people take from as they wish. So, if you're solely looking to stay in your room and be your own concierge service, this place is for you; otherwise, you can do better elsewhere.

This is an amazing architectural wonder for a hotel. I had a mini suite with 20 foot high floor to ceiling windows and such detailed amenities as electronic sheers and shades to open and close them along with heated floors in the bathroom. To be sure you were aware of all the features of the room, the check-in person accompanied you to the room and explained each amenity. The grounds are like a Japanese garden that, if asked, you would happily pay an admission fee for. There are paver lined paths through the grounds, bridges over streams, impressive hand hewn rock walls forming terraces and newly planted shrubbery interspersed with the stately pine trees that originally adorned the property. The Homestead restaurant is also an architectural home run. It is on 2 levels with an upstairs bar that overlooks the gardens and the restaurant on the ground level with abundant indoor and outdoor dining. The menu is excellent and the wait staff very helpful with your selection. Can't wait to return.
