Wing’s Castle (Millbrook) Constructed almost entirely of recycled and repurposed materials, this live-
in art project built by Peter and Toni Ann Wing offers a one-of-a-kind and memorable experience. Soak up the medieval ambiance during your stay
in the Chamber Room, the Dungeon Room, the Cottage or the Annex Suite. Tour the grounds, visit nearby Millbrook Vineyards & Winery, and stroll through the cute village of Millbrook for a trip you won’t soon forget.
Brinckerhoff Inn (Fishkill) This fully restored mansion, which remained in the Brinckerhoff family for nearly 300 years, has provided travelers with luxurious accommodations
for centuries. Famous guests have included George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson. For several weeks in the fall of 1778, the Marquis de Lafayette recuperated from an illness in the second-floor bedroom of the Brinckerhoff home and was nursed back to health. That room is available and named after the Marquis.
