The Hilltop House Bed and Breakfast, a Dutch Victorian home
built in 1909, is located in the Hudson Valley amidst a bevy
of horse farms in the Berkshire foothills of Amenia, New York.
The Inn's air-conditioned lodging accommodations consist of
five guest rooms. One room with a private bath has a
king-sized bed, and the remaining four rooms, which share two
baths, are furnished with queen-sized beds. Common areas at
the Inn are wonderful places to relax and visit with fellow
guests. The living room with its stone fireplace is an ideal
place to unwind, or you may chose the wraparound porch with
gazebo on pleasant evenings.
A hearty country breakfast is served on weekends in the
Hilltop House's formal dining room, with continental fare
available on weekdays. Various favorites include the Inn's
homemade granola, a fluffy omelette casserole, and delicious
blue corn pancakes.
Activities abound around Hilltop House. The nearby Harlem
Valley Rail Trail, a former railbed, provides great
cross-country skiing and is a favorite with hikers and bikers
as well. Skiers will especially love the location, just 30
minutes from the Catamount and Mohawk Mountain ski resorts.
The Ten Mile River, which runs through the neighboring Wassaic
State Forest multiple-use area, sets the scene for both
hunting and fishing. Other activities close by include golf,
horseback riding, and bowling. Visiting the many antique shops
and farmers markets is a wonderful afternoon excursion.
An endless number of opportunities plus comfortable
accommodations await you during your stay at Hilltop House Bed
and Breakfast. |
