NEW YORK WEEKEND GETAWAY

For the perfect New York weekend getaway, stay at Whispering Pines Bed and Breakfast (New Paltz / High Falls), a beautiful retreat featuring nature, simplicity, comfort, and relaxation. Get away from New York City (only a two hour ride!) and suburban traffic to our serene, private 50-acre forest, just three miles past the famed Mohonk Mountain House resort, and fifteen minutes from downtown New Paltz, Minnewaska State Park, Mohonk Preserve, and the Shawangunk (“The Gunks”) Ridge.

Whether you want to get away for weekend rest or weekend fun, our central location includes all that New York’s Hudson Valley has to offer: Quiet nature, forests, fabulous hiking, spectacular views, farms, rock-climbing, waterfalls, Lake Minnewaska, swimming, fishing, horseback riding, golf, tennis, cross-country skiing (downhill is one hour away), sledding, ice-skating (at Mohonk Mountain House), delicious dining at numerous local restaurants (for example, see The Egg’s Nest and The DePuy Canal House), live music, wineries (follow the Wine Trail), antique shops (follow the Antiques Trail), and more.

Or do you just want to relax? Spend your weekend getaway lounging in your comfortable, firm, queen-sized bed, watching movies from our videotape library; soak to your heart’s content in our Jacuzzi spa on the deck, or enjoy a cup of tea as you read a book in front of the living room fire; or just sunbathe on our spectacular 60-foot deck.

Our easy-going B&B features an all-morning breakfast (so you can sleep late) and a relaxing, no-hurry atmosphere. Our place is contemporary and pretty, but not frilly or overly decorated; we hope you will feel at home in our casual and friendly home. To view our rooms, please see our home page. Check our rates and availability online, or telephone between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.
