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, three with a private, ensuite bath and two that share a bath. 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.
