Your Innkeepers

Your hosts are Lisa and Lee Fraitag. Lisa is a professional French horn player and music teacher. She performs with the Woodstock Chamber Orchestra and the Greater Newburgh Symphony. Lee worked for many years at IBM before retiring. He then attended the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park. Upon graduation in 1995, Lisa and Lee bought the home on Travis Road which was the Travis family dairy Farm for most of the 20th century.  We were lucky as the house didn't have plumbing, electricity, or central heat until the 1960's.  When we purchased the house in 1995 it had been updated and we have continued to take care of this simple but wonderful old home.  We began welcoming guests to the Willows Bed & Breakfast in June of 1996 and have had a blast doing so since.

 What's New At The Willows

We have a new addition to our staff!  His name is Scout and he is a four year old male English Setter, a failed hunter from Georgia.  He is a rescue dog from American Lab Rescue.  Lisa and I urge anyone thinking of adopting a pet to consider using Petfinder.com or your local shelter.

The Dutchess County Fair starts this week so there is a touch of autumn in the air.  We are now serving ham and corn chowder and we are featuring our own raspberries in our Oatmeal Raspberry Pancakes.

No need to worry about our eggs as they come from a mile down the road.  We always use Knollkrest Farm eggs, a small egg farm here in Dutchess County.
