Come discover a cradle of American civilization and civility, only ninety miles north of New York City. Here in the Hudson River Valley, Millbrook Country House offers fine accommodations in an environment of distinctive 18th-century Italian furnishings. Just outside its doors is a luxurious landscape of stunning horse farms and agricultural land studded with stone walls, hayfields, and old orchards. Entertaining was from the beginning an important part of life in the house that is now MCH, as the generous dimensions of this room attest. Its focal point is a long 18th-century cherry table, lit by a Florentine chandelier. Family portraits and colorful pear and apple prints decorate the walls. Here breakfast and our Friday night dinners are served during most of the year (in fine weather, we often move outside at mealtime).

Rekindle the serenity of simpler times in the relaxing warmth of Millbrook Country House. Wake to views of the extensive lawns and gardens, come downstairs to a multi-course breakfast, linger by the fire in the comfortable parlors, and generally breathe in the blessings of a brand-new Millbrook day.

House and Gardens MCH offers present-day comforts (central air conditioning, private baths for each of its four guest rooms, exquisite Italian bed and bath linens) while respecting the house's historic context. Period floors and windows, fireplaces in the parlors, a library, and Bose music system create a welcoming backdrop for exceptional artworks and antiques. The graceful grounds, where guests can relax with book or easel, are embellished by mature trees, flower and herb gardens, sculptures, a canopied bench, and Florentine terra-cotta vases. MCH combines an easy formality with friendly, customized service. French, Spanish, and Italian are spoken in addition to English, and breakfasts and teas escape standard cliches to reflect the owners' culinary experience.

Our new, custom-made (yes, Italian) mattresses are dressed with the finest Frette linens and duvets, and are so comfortable that they have been known to dominate breakfast conversation. In short, our beds are the centerpieces of all four of our individually decorated rooms. (In all but the twin-bedded room the beds are larger than a queen, smaller than a king.) Each room also has its own settee, chaise, or windowseat. Frette and Bellora robes and towels, liquid soaps from Provence (the scents are bergamot, linden, and verbena), magnifying mirrors, and wall-mounted hair dryers are practical aids to a pampering stay.
