My boyfriend and I stayed with Patricia Heller at A Mountain View Retreat. We went hiking during the day at Bear Mountain. Patricia recommended a lovely French place for dinner in the center of Rhinebeck at Le Petite Bistro. Rhinebeck is a quick drive down the road and it is a quant small town with cute little shops, flea markets... More

My trip to New York to attend a special event at the Omega Institute was fantastic because of being able to come back and stay at Patricia's B & B. I took a walk in the woods, relaxed in the hammock and a couple of days later experienced a magnificent lightning show from the big comfy bed in the deluxe... More

When I emailed to ask if there was room for three of us during on a Bard family weekend, the reply I received was "are you lucky!" Patricia Heller meant we were lucky that she had the rooms but actually we were just plain lucky. The house does not look especially large or interesting (like Dr Who's Tardis) but once... More

Patricia is amazing amazing amazing and her cozy impeccably furnished cottage overlooking the catskills is an incredible find. My wife and I are city slickers from NY. We went to the Hudson Valley for a romantic weekend to celebrate our anniversary and to our delight, we were treated like royalty by the bed and breakfast's proprietor Patricia. When we arrived...

I was taking a conference at the Omega Center and the beautiful environment, delicious breakfast, impeccably decorated and clean and quiet room was such an amazing retreat to come back to. PLUS, Patricia, whose home it is, is simply one of the warmest, kindest, most fun and magically charming woman you could hope to meet. SHE is reason alone to... More

All that you have read in other reviews is true. The point is that over and above having a lovely place to stay with great breakfasts and comfortable beds, you will meet a lovely person who will treat you like family. I don't know what you will do if you want the distant treatment you would get at a chain... More

We agree with the other reviewers, Patricia's house is wonderful, clean, and a welcome getaway from the city for a weekend. We will definitely go back to Mountain View Retreat. The walking paths and secret gardens are delightful as is the hammock between two giant pine trees. Breakfasts were too big and too delicious, and the host of the house... More

We were pampered and enterained by Patricia from the moment we arrived. Beautiful, comfortable room with extremely comfortable bed. Very quiet and peaceful. I was there with my daughter for an open house at Bard, so just stayed one night. I would definitely go back and hope to stay longer next time.

What a wonderful surprise awaited us at the Mountain View Inn. We felt as though we had arrived at a favorite relative who greeted us with open arms. Patricia Heller should go into business training others as to "how to run a B&B" Beautifully appointed this charming Inn welcomes you up a long driveway only to arrive at a lovely... More
