Victorian Knoll Bed and Breakfast, a leisurely hour-and-a-half ride from New York City, is conveniently located within the town of Stone Ridge, New York in Ulster County.

Victorian Knoll's bed and breakfast accommodations in the Catskills, the heart of the Hudson Valley, are second to none. A hotel stay wouldn't compare to the serenity of the mountainous setting for your relaxing getaway, family gatherings, or special celebration.

Relax and experience the ambiance and serenity of a beautiful Victorian "Painted Lady" nestled in a tranquil wooded setting. The wraparound sun and shade verandah sweeps you into a past era as you settle into a graceful wicker chair overlooking the pond, gazebo, and beautifully landscaped gardens. The furnished veranda's tropical plants and candles add to this peaceful atmosphere.

Victorian Knoll Bed and Breakfast offers a choice of three air-conditioned rooms: one with a full-size bed, one with a queen-size bed, and one with a king-size bed plus a private Jacuzzi. Each double occupancy bed chamber has a private bath and is uniquely decorated with antiques, period pieces, and fresh flowers.

Plan your day while enjoying a gourmet decadent breakfast. Specialty teas, an endless cup of coffee, fresh fruit, muffins, granola, yogurt, and special hot entree of the day await you either in the dining room or on the spacious wraparound porch. You may also enjoy the solitude of nestling down with a good book and a cup of cocoa in front of the antique stove in the cozy parlor. Afternoon tea is a special indulgence.

The inn is within a short distance of Kingston and New Paltz exits, with a plentiful array of antique shops and wineries in between.

Consider Victorian Knoll your home away from home for cross-country skiing at Minnewaska State Park, hiking at Mohonk Preserve, a SUNY New Paltz graduation, being tempted by the cuisine of the Culinary Institute of America, or any special event or wedding in Ulster County.

From the moment you awaken to the wonderful aroma of fresh brewed coffee and homemade muffins until those last quiet moments you spend in your favorite rocker on the front porch, your stay will be filled with simple pleasures enjoyed for years to come.

Hosts Patti and Tom Habersaat will be happy to assist you in making your visit to the Catskills and Victorian Knoll Bed and Breakfast an experience to treasure.
