Sean and Julie Griffin are the owners of The Wiltwyck and have lived in Uptown Kingston with their family since 2006. Sean is a musician and composer, and Julie, an Army veteran, homeschools their six children. The Griffin family can often be found at Forsyth Park on the playground, visiting the animals at the petting zoo, or getting tamales at the Farmer's market on Saturday mornings. The Griffin children are 11th-generation New Yorkers through Julie's side of the family who we have traced back to early Dutch settlers in New Amsterdam (NYC) and Kingston, called Wiltwyck at the time. Thomas Theunissen Quick (Julie's 8th great-grandfather, and son of indentured brick mason Teunis Tomassen Quick who immigrated from Holland and helped build Fort Amsterdam) and Rymerick Jurriaensen were married right around the corner at the Old Dutch Church in 1672.
Convenient location, very clean and comfortable, nice owners. Good price. Positive: The location was very convenient. Easy access to the Inn and short walk to restaurants etc. The owners were very nice and the bed was super comfortable and the room exceeded my expectations. It was large, well decorated and had all amenities I needed. Negative: Breakfast would have been nice, however there is no common room so I can see how that would be challenging. But maybe some snacks in the room would have solved it. Or some hard boiled eggs and a muffin or fruit delivered in the AM. Just a thought.
We had no idea the staying at Wiltwyck could be so peaceful and beautiful. Positive: The location of Wiltwyck was a lovely historical trip through time, as was the area. Our stay was charming and our rooms were quietly elegant. Time spent there was like being in a dream.
Nice spot close to main street with great restaurants. Positive: The rooms are spacious, well-styled, and comfortable. There was a nice kitchen set up if one was staying longer. Our family stayed just two nights and ate out so we didn't need the kitchen. The location is great for walking to the local restaurants and shops. We loved Chleo and Rough Draft plus Sissie's for breakfast. The proprietor was friendly and unobtrusive. Negative: The parking is down the hill behind the house. It was pouring rain the day we arrived (obviously not their fault!) so it was a bit difficult to get our bags out of the car and up to the house without being drenched. The parking is okay, just not so easy if you are physically challenged.
Lovely house with a lot of history. The room was much bigger than anticipated. The bed was "craking" and making noise, but nothing that will prevent you to go too sleep.
