A distinctive destination only ninety miles north of New York City, Millbrook Country House epitomizes a style of country living that is at once sophisticated and relaxed. The gracious grounds and house, with four guest rooms, are ideally placed for full enjoyment of Millbrook’s cultural and sporting scenes. Nearest are the beautiful gardens at Innisfree and Wethersfield, Millbrook Vineyards & Winery, Mashomack Polo Club, Tamarack Preserve, cycling and walking trails, and the shooting and fly-fishing schools at Orvis-Sandanona. Within easy reach are the Hudson’s historic stately houses, the Culinary Institute of America, DIA Beacon, Boscobel’s summer Shakespeare festival, and the performing and visual arts centers of Vassar and Bard colleges. The village of Millbrook itself, surely the loveliest of the mid-Hudson Valley, is set amid the hilly horse farms of Dutchess County. Its tree-lined main street is evenly divided between a succession of small shops and businesses and handsome white-clapboard houses with generous porches. It’s the kind of village where the most important building is the Free Library, the first morning sound to break the night’s silence is likely to be a chorus of robins in spring or, in winter, squadrons of migrating geese.

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.
