Experience the best of the Village of Goshen right from our doorstep. We are just a short stroll away from the vibrant farmers market, local boutiques, and an array of cafes, bars, and restaurants.

Is your Bed and Breakfast family-friendly, most are not?
Parkway House Goshen is designed with families in mind, offering a unique blend of spacious accommodations and outdoor freedom that you won’t find in a standard hotel room. Whether you are traveling with toddlers or teenagers, our property provides the room and the atmosphere to truly relax. Forget the cramped quarters of a single hotel room. Our large suites and barn apartments offer the square footage families need to spread out. With separate living areas and multiple sleeping spaces, everyone can enjoy their own privacy while staying together under one roof. The highlight for many of our younger guests is the huge grassy backyard. It’s the perfect spot for kids to burn off energy after a day of travel or sightseeing.

Picnic Areas: Our rear patio features dedicated picnic spots where families can enjoy an outdoor meal together in the fresh air.

Outdoor Play: The expansive lawn is ideal for a game of tag, throwing a frisbee, or simply enjoying the peaceful Hudson Valley surroundings.

One of the most unique experiences for children staying at Parkway House is the chance to watch harness racing horses practice. Because we are located in the heart of "The Cradle of the Trotter," guests can see these beautiful athletes training year-round. It is a captivating sight for kids (and adults!) to watch the horses and sulkies fly by, offering a special glimpse into a world-famous Goshen tradition right from our doorstep.
