The top-rated B&B in Amenia, NY, Hilltop House Bed & Breakfast is an (circa 1909) antique-filled getaway, a comfortable “home away from home” in the Hudson Valley. Each room is decorated with just enough homey-ness that you might not want to venture out; here you can escape the daily grind and relax. Then too, hop off to a business jaunt, maybe to check out one of the many private schools in our vicinity. Whatever the visit, the innkeeper, Sandy, will make your Hudson Valley stay a memorable one. And you can count on your breakfast being just as memorable!

INCLUDES:
- Two Nights Accommodation
- Daily Gourmet Breakfast
- Access to Hiking, Biking, Local Wineries, and More

There is so much for you to explore: the area’s cultural attractions abound. Take part in any number of outdoor activities—from horseback riding, to fly fishing, to race cars. Indoors, sip the local vintners’ best, take in a stage play, find scrumptious meals at affordable prices. Or hang back and simply enjoy a cup of tea on the wrap-around veranda, or hot cocoa by the fireplace.

Reviews of Hilltop House Bed & Breakfast
As a group of friends we wanted to tie in a birthday, Mum-get-away and relaxation. We chose Hilltop House as a holiday rental. It is just lovely, cozy, relaxing, has stunning views and a hot tub. Truly beautiful. Not even the four hour drive would put me off going again. I can’t recommend enough!

LOCATION
Amenia, NY. Just 3 miles from the Connecticut border and 2 hours from New York City.

ABOUT THE INNKEEPERS
Three generations of our children and grandchildren share the Hilltop House Bed & Breakfast! It might not seem so, because most are in an adjacent space and have grown up B&B-ified. It helps to make our house in the Hudson River Valley a home and fills each day with a real sense of purpose, caring and joy. We’re proud of that and the children who grace this house. Owning an inn has always been a dream of ours. We get up in the morning with breakfast to prepare, and we’ve gotten very good at it. Our guests aren’t afraid to ask for special breakfast wants, or needs. (You can request ahead of time, or try us. We probably have just what you need and want.) The rest of the day we sort out what needs to be done–the shopping, the laundry, cleaning–and it all comes down to making people happy. Ourselves included! Isn’t that what it’s all supposed to be about? We think so.

ACTIVITIES NEARBY
Hilltop House Bed & Breakfast is nestled atop a gentle hill with several neighboring dairy farms in New York’s Dutchess County, just 3 miles from the Connecticut border. Its country town locale in Amenia, NY is hub to some of the best boarding schools on the east coast and the culture they radiate. Clever shops dot all the towns in the area; antiquing is rampant, with shops of all sizes (don’t be afraid to negotiate), and the inevitable yard sale for the curious!

Add to that, attractions such as Sharon Playhouse’s summer stock featuring musical productions, wing shooting and horse trials in Millbrook, Lime Rock racetrack’s SCCA racing, fly fishing on the Housatonic River, hiking the New York to Connecticut crossover of the Appalachian Trail, biking on the Harlem Valley rail trail, and fine dining and beer and wine making, as well as distilleries within a 15-30-minute drive.

Forty minutes to 4 ski areas—Catamount (due North in South Egremont, MA), Butternut (Northeast in Great Barrington, MA), Thunder Ridge (South in Patterson, NY) and Mohawk (due east in Cornwall, CT), where they invented snow making!

GUEST ROOMS
A welcome reprieve from typical hotels, Hilltop House Bed & Breakfast is the top-rated B&B in Amenia, NY, according to our guests. An inviting country inn offering accommodations to world-weary travelers. After a day of discovering all that the area has to offer, you will be pleased to retire to the serenity of your guest room, thoughtfully appointed with your comfort in mind.
