We love A Mountain View Retreat so much that we didn't consider staying anywhere else on a repeat visit to the area. And for our purposes -- a trip to the Bard College campus -- there isn't a closer hotel/motel/inn or B&B. A Mountain View Retreat is only a 15" drive from the Bard campus. Owner Patricia Heller goes all... More

We traveled up from NYC to get some fresh air and catch the end of the beautiful colours on the trees in the Hudson Valley. As per other comments from fellow travelers, we could have not experienced a friendlier greeting from the graceful host Pratricia. It is all that we wanted from a retreat - relaxing, clean, and the homecooking... More

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at A Mountain View. Patricia is a warm and generous host who made us feel welcome right away. Her inn is a combination of art gallery, antique shop and mountain lodge. Breakfasts were wonderful and our room was comfy and spacious. Be sure to walk the trails leading to her meditation gardens.

Hi Lynn, it was great having you for three days. So glad you got to experience the "best" at Le Petit Bistro (booth and food!), your Rip Van Winkle ferry ride up and down the Hudson. Kindest regards, Patricia More

Although it's a little tricky to find, the journey is well worth the effort. A Mountain View Retreat is a cozy B&B -- just 3 bedrooms arranged around a comfortable great room and kitchen/dining area. Our room -- the master -- was large, warm, very tastefully decorated. The attached BR was very well lit and, thankfully, had it's own temp... More

Patricia Heller was a wonderful host during the 4 days I stayed at her bed and breakfast. She was warm, cheerful, very helpful, informative and extremely accommodating. She happily made restaurant reservations on my behalf, suggestions regarding antique stores and provided me with interesting facts on the area. The breakfast she made was excellent and included fruit, eggs, toast, warm... More

My family were met at the front door by Patricia Heller, a host who brings charm and knowledge to her inn. The rooms were beautifully appointed and the Inn blended with the environment. There are places to walk while contemplating the beautiful environment and views of the mountains from restful areas she has created for her guests. Breakfast was creative... More

My friend and I spent 2 nights -- I loved the decor! Now on a home and garden decorating spree . . . . Great hostess, great breakfast, especially the scones, and a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout. This is recommended for anyone looking for something luxurious, different, artistic, and spiritually renewing. Our visit included playing with Patricia's karaoke machine,... More

We had a wonderful stay at the Mountain View Retreat. Patricia, our hostess, was fantastic. We felt very much at home. The B&B is very secluded with walking trails, and a view of the Catskills. The breakfasts were excellent. Our room was roomy and very comfortable. We had a wonderful time. Will stay again.
