Rushmore Estate

This place is an absolute gem with such an incredible vibe! We stayed at Rushmore Estate for a weekend getaway, and it was exactly the refreshing break we needed. The first thing you notice is the stunning architecture and the pristine, sprawling grounds. It honestly feels like stepping back in time into a historic manor, yet the amenities and service are top-notch and completely modern. The staff was so welcoming and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The peace and quiet you find here in Highland Mills is second to none. If you're looking to escape the city hustle and stay in a "castle" with all the comforts of a luxury hotel, this is the spot!

This place is an absolute DREAM!!!! Summer, winter, fall, this place is so beautiful every time of year. A private infinity pool, lake, and tennis court an hour away from nyc is INSANE for this price. You can invite friends to come for the day and have a party- it’s so fun. And a five minute drive to Woodbury commons shopping outlets- this place has it ALL!!!!!!!

My husband and I spent a couple of nights at the Rushmore Estate over the Labor Day weekend and could not have been more pleased. Our room was spacious, clean and well appointed - love a big comfy bed with crisp white linens. Perfect weather afforded us the opportunity to utilize the beautiful heated infinity pool and expansive grounds. Our second night we decided to enjoy a gourmet picnic dinner lakeside watching the sunset while warming ourselves by the fire pit. We had the entire place all to ourselves - just so relaxing, secluded and magical. This is a special property and I encourage all guests to take full advantage of the grounds and amenities offered at the Rushmore Estate

I’ve stayed in many boutique properties but Rushmore Estate tops them all because the grounds are indescribably gorgeous. Words cannot do it justice as you have to experience it to appreciate its beauty. The bedrooms & bathrooms are tastefully done with respect for the history of its founder Charles Rushmore, who Mount Rushmore was named after! It was originally built in 1908 & has been renovated by its current owner. It is also an incredible wedding venue, hosts affairs, parties & meetings. The waterfall lake offers all the toys & large mouth bass fishing. There are private tennis, basketball & pickleball courts. The grounds are spectacular with old growth specimen trees everywhere. The heated infinity edge pool is enormous w a walled off shallow kiddie pool section. There is also a very cute 2 BR cottage separate from the main house & ballroom. I’m very particular when it comes to accommodations & Rushmore Estate deserves 5 stars across the board! It is 55 acres of gated, secure private property so safety is no issue at all. I highly recommend Rushmore Estate for any occasion or a peaceful vacation.

After a family medical emergency canceled our original wedding plans, I hit the ground running to find something unique and beautiful close to my parent’s home in the Hudson Valley. From the very first visit, I knew we found our place. As someone in the wedding industry, I was incredibly particular in the "vibe" of our wedding weekend – elegant but laid-back, and The Rushmore Estate far surpassed everything we had hoped for in a wedding weekend. From the pool (a favorite) to the beautiful rooms, the lake to the ballroom, our guests were SO impressed. We took advantage of their catering suggestions and had amazing food for all events thanks to Peppercorn Events. Russell, Beth, and Karen made for a seamless event and I am forever grateful for their support as we had some additional needs to manage my Dad’s wheelchair due to his new injury. The team went above and beyond and even built a temporary ramp for him at the cottage. These little things made what could have been difficult/damper on the weekend much more easier for us. We had 85 wedding guests and utilized the pool/patio, cottage, ballroom, and 4 rooms above the ballroom – my suggestion would be to take advantage of everything available! Our guests were truly wowed by the event and I wish I could relive it again and again. My only complaint is not having enough time! We hope to visit again on our anniversary for another beautiful weekend. Thank you again to Russell, Beth, and Karen for everything.
