If you love freshly baked, homemade pie, this could be your ultimate “sweet dreams.” The historic Caldwell House Bed and Breakfast in New York is offering guests a slice of pie on their pillow this September as the popular turndown service returns for the sixth year in a row.
The Caldwell House Bed and Breakfast hopes its guests forgo dessert after dinner this September. You need to save room for what you will find on your pillow at turndown service. The award-winning, Salisbury Mills, New York, country inn is baking fresh pies daily using locally-sourced ingredients, then placing a huge slice atop each guest’s pillow as part of its yearly sought-after “Pie on the Pillow” turndown service. The pies, selected by the chef every night, might be cherry, cream or the crowd favorite – apple pie.
“The pie on the pillow gets bigger and bigger in demand each year,” said Dena Finneran, who co-owns the bed and breakfast with her husband, John. “Our guests return each fall to enjoy the pies and the foliage.”
Now in its milestone fifth year, the Caldwell House Bed and Breakfast begins serving the pies on the Tuesday after Labor Day (September 3) through September 30. Dena, a culinary artist with a cookbook on the way, makes every pie herself using seasonal fruits from the nearby Blooming Hill Farm, Grove, Soon Orchard, Roe’s Orchard and Jones Farm for the filling.
The award-winning bed and breakfast is located in the heart of the Hudson Valley– close to the United States Military Academy at West Point, the Storm King Arts Center, Brotherhood Winery (and many of the Shawangunk Wine Trail Wineries), and the Woodbury Premium Outlet Mall. Some of the Hudson Valley’s most beautiful hiking/biking trails are within walking or easy driving distance. Built in 1802, the historic inn is full of many original features, antiques and original paintings, as well as modern amenities. Each guest room includes its own private full bath (several with Jacuzzi tub for two), smart TVs with Netflix/Hulu, free Wi-Fi Internet access, individual room temperature controls, iPads and more.
