Fodor's Expert Review Onteora Mountain House
96 Piney Point Rd., Boiceville, New York, 12412, USA Fodor's Choice
The spectacular Catskills vistas at this B&B—the former summer home of mayonnaise magnate Richard Hellman—will leave you breathless. A massive stone fireplace presides over the great room, a magnificent space with a soaring ceiling. Oriental rugs, scattered across wide-plank honey-color floors, cushion your every step, and Asian antiques and American pieces enjoy an elegant coexistence. Some rooms have fireplaces and hot tubs, and one has a window seat with dazzling valley views. Play billiards in the cavernous game room, or sweat it out in the sauna. The loveliest spot might be the 60-foot dining terrace, where you're treated to expansive views of the mountains.
