I lived in the Hudson Valley until I got married and it is where we plan to retire when DH retires from the military in two years.

worm761 included a great link. Since we lived there I don't know much about where to stay, but I know places to visit and eat.

Do you have an idea where exactly you want to go and what you want to do?

OK I am going to plug my most favorite place in the Hudson Valley...Rhinebeck, NY Ok so I am alittle biased since I live right across the bridge from there but they have some of the greatest little shops and a Farmers Market I adore. When are you planning on coming to the Hudson Valley. Woodstock is great too.
this is a good resource for info but if you wanna know just ask and I am sure we can get you the answer.

I've lived in Dutchess County for 20 years. I've never been a "tourist", but I can give it a try.

I don't know where worm761 is, but there are no ski resorts in this area.

I'm not familiar with the B&B's, but I've read good reviews of the Inn At The Falls. If you want a more traditional hotel, the Poughkeepsie Grand Hotel is very nice, but, as far as Poughkeepsie is concerned, I wouldn't plan on spending anytime there. Both of these are close to Route 9, and not that far from the tourist destinations.

A lot of visitors head to Rhinebeck/Hyde Park. Most of the motels in the immediate area are "Mom & Pop" types, but there's the Beekman Arms. This places you smack dab in the center of town.

You'll find the Culinary Institute of America up this way. It's a good idea to get a reservation at one of their restaurants.

I don't know how far away you are. The "Hudson Valley" encompasses a large area. If you want to stay in the West Point area, the Hotel Thayer is lovely and right on the academy's grounds. It has an excellent champagne brunch on Sundays.

I hope these suggestions help. Good luck!
