The Spotlight on Oakcliff Bed and Breakfast

Charming Riverfront Retreat Just Outside Albany

Modern comforts meet historic charm at Oakcliff Bed and Breakfast, a 5-star stay perched along the Hudson River in Waterford, NY. This elegant B&B offers a peaceful escape just 13 miles from the heart of Albany—perfect for concert-goers who want to stay close to the action but unwind in tranquility. With beautifully appointed rooms, some featuring patios or mountain views, and thoughtful amenities like a sun terrace and hot tub, this is a stay that feels like home—only better.

Why Concert-goers love it

Oakcliff is just a quick drive (about 20–25 minutes) from Albany’s top live music venues, including the MVP Arena and The Egg. After the show, escape the city bustle for a restful night in scenic Waterford. Guests love the quiet setting, making it a perfect post-concert wind-down spot. With flexible check-in at 3:00 PM and a generous 11:00 AM check-out, you’ve got time to relax before and after your event. Parking is free, and a paid airport shuttle makes travel a breeze.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a peaceful base with shared spaces to hang out
  • Solo travelers catching a long-awaited performance
  • Couples making a romantic concert weekend of it
  • Fans wanting quiet and comfort after the show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want luxury without the downtown price tag

Food and Drink Options

Start your morning right with a hearty à la carte or full English/Irish breakfast, featuring local specialities and fresh pastries—perfect after a late night. While there’s no on-site restaurant for dinner, nearby Waterford and Halfmoon offer charming local spots, and room amenities include a coffee machine for that essential morning brew. Guests often dine before heading back for a quiet night.

Nightlife Options

While Oakcliff itself is more serene than scene, you’re just a short drive from Albany’s buzzing nightlife—bars, lounges, and late-night eateries abound. Or, if you prefer to keep things mellow, the sun terrace and riverside setting offer the ideal backdrop for a nightcap under the stars.

What People Say

Guests rave about the peaceful atmosphere, spotless rooms, and friendly hosts. Many highlight the beautiful views, cozy bed linens, and the relaxing hot tub as standout features. The location strikes a nice balance—close enough to Albany for easy access, yet far enough for a restful stay.

Areas for Improvement

There’s no on-site restaurant or bar, so plan to grab dinner before heading back. And while the property is picturesque, it’s best suited to travelers with a car—public transit is limited in this area.

The Bottom Line

If you're catching a concert in Albany and want a relaxing, upscale place to recharge—without the downtown noise—Oakcliff Bed and Breakfast is a perfect pick.

A Fantastic place to rest...

Liked: This is a hidden gem of The Capital District! Great location - a quick drive to everywhere we needed to go! The owners are incredible! They put so much love and care into this house and into the experiences of their guests! An antique lover’s dream with all modern conveniences! Super clean and quiet. The breakfast is magnificent!!! Everything homemade with tremendous love and care! And they serve use proper china & place settings!

Stunning colonial home on the...

Liked: A beautifully restored colonial property filled with antiques and beautiful paintingsThe hosts were very friendly, but not intrusive and, quite rightly, proud of their home.I believe there are just 3 or 4 letting rooms all sympathetically decorated in keeping with the age of the property. It was our first B&B and we enjoyed good conversation at breakfast with our fellow guests and Farm Aid 2024 goers.We were offered a lovely choice for breakfast, served at a beautifully set table. John's pancakes 🥞 were just perfect on Sunday morning. Gorgeous views of the Mohawk River from our bedroom window.Great location for visiting Saratoga Performing Arts Centre which was about 20 minutes drive away.

Disliked: There was no TV in the room, but we used the wifi and brought a laptop for a nighttime movie. (So it really wasn't a big deal)

Historical Experience.

Liked: It is a magnificent historical property full of antiques and on lovely grounds overlooking the river. The hosts are lovely. The breakfast is delicious and classy.
Disliked: No television (which is somewhat understandable in a property of this type).

Liked: This was a beautiful home, we truly enjoyed our stay! We loved the well maintained atmosphere of the home, and the owner's knowledge that he shared. Playing the player piano for us was a delight. Our bathroom was very nice, it had a great shower. Breakfast was so delicious!
Disliked: The bed and side chair in the room was uncomfortable, which made relaxing in the room not very doable.
