Highland Manor Bed & Breakfast

Voted one of North America's top 15 B&B's for “Best Weekend Escape” in Arrington’s Inn Traveler Magazine, for three years in a row!

Nestled between New Paltz and Hyde Park, in the Historic Hudson Valley, Highland Manor Bed & Breakfast offers you peace, serenity and the perfect retreat from your everyday busy life.

This newly built, in 2001, country inn features five beautifully appointed very spacious rooms, all with private bath, plush featherbeds, warm quilts, and central heating and air conditioning. Three of the rooms also feature a fireplace and a large Jacuzzi tub.

Awaken to the scrumptious aroma of fresh muffins and scones, fluffy frittatas, specialty french toast, and fresh fruit from local farms, and more. Enjoy a different full gourmet breakfast each morning in the elegant dining room, or on the expansive front porch, along with fresh-brewed coffee or specialty teas. A special diet or vegetarian breakfast is gladly served upon request, with prior notice. Oh and while on the porch.....keep your eye on the Humming Birds!!     
 

After breakfast take a stroll through the beautifully landscaped grounds, relax on one of our hand-built stone benches, or just swing the day away on the comfy hammock swing in the gazebo or next to the pond. Or for the more inquisitive traveler, explore some of the Hudson Valley’s year-round activities. After a day of hiking, biking, wine tasting or antiquing, join us for a campfire under the stars and a sample of one of Tim's hand crafted Beers or Wines!

About Us

A Native of Queens, New York, then later resident of Long Island, Tim followed his dream of owning and operating a B&B, and in February 2002, bought Highland Manor Bed & Breakfast. Utilizing his numerous skills and talents, he completely transformed the B&B into the perfect getaway for all to enjoy. Remarkably, he never tires looking for new ways to put his energy and visions to work with his latest creation of a Pub style recreational room dowstairs with full working Brewery. From creative gourmet breakfasts to cozy country campfires, and even personalized vacation packages, Tim strives to provide his guests with the ultimate Bed & Breakfast experience. And...you'll LOVE his dogs!
