Good for a big group
Best season The inn is a year-round stay. Do not plan the visit around the sauna until they say the pool wing has reopened.
Drive About 1 hr 45 min
General guidance from Midtown on a calm day, not a live traffic report. Milton is a Hudson Valley drive. Check a map.
Parking. The inn has on-site parking for guests. This is not a trailhead. Confirm when you book.
A 75-acre Hudson River inn in Milton, with a garden and Henry’s at the Farm on the property. It is not the state park in Ithaca, and it is not a municipal bath. The pool and spa amenities are temporarily unavailable while the main spa is renovated.
Worth knowing
The pool is closed
Their spa page says the main spa is under renovation, the pool and its amenities are temporarily unavailable, and treatments are in a temporary room on the property. Call before you go for a soak.
Ages
The spa publishes age minimums: 18 for massage and body treatments, 16 for facials. This is not tagged as a kids' outing.
With a group. The inn hosts weddings and meetings on the estate. That is a booking, not a walk-in table. Use their events desk.
The short version
Buttermilk Falls Inn & Spa sits on North Road in Milton, Ulster County, on a Hudson riverbank estate. Do not confuse it with Buttermilk Falls State Park in Ithaca. Henry's at the Farm is the dining room on the property.
Food nearby
Henry's at the Farm
The inn's own restaurant, using the valley and the on-site garden. It is part of the property, not a separate discovery.

Locust Grove Fruit Farm
A fruit farm on North Road. Their page lists a U-pick and a farm stand at 199 North Road, Milton. It does not itemize what is on the stand that week.
Season. Their page says Saturday and Sunday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. It does not print the months.
The brewing company at 162 North Road is a different door. The farm phone on their page is 845-232-6853.
Official pageHeart of the Hudson Valley Farmers Market
Their site says local, farm-fresh food for a meal.
Season. Their site says every Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., rain or shine, June through mid-October, plus a Thanksgiving market on November 18, at 1801-1805 Route 9W, Cluett Schantz Park, Milton.
In Milton, the same town as the inn. Locust Grove's page lists this market as Saturdays, June through October, without the Thanksgiving date. Read hhvfarmersmarket.com.

The inn’s spa page says the main spa is under renovation. The pool and its amenities are temporarily unavailable. Treatments continue in a temporary room overlooking the river. That page prints two different hour ranges, so we are not repeating either one. Call before you plan a soak.
Massages and body treatments are 18 and older. Facials are 16 and older. This is an inn spa, not a walk-in public bath.
