History

Established in 1999.

The Inn at Orchard Heights originally opened as Orchard Heights Guest House. We lived with and cared for well aged people (88 plus) whose families were looking for an alternative to a nursing home. Our elderly family was part of our family. We ran the guest house for two years before transitioning to the hospitality business. Having met at Mohonk we knew we wanted to team up for a run as «hoteliers». Our Victorian Bed and Breakfast Inn was a private home all of its’ life before we bought it in 1996 and opened up for business in 1997. Together we built the business from the ground up. We are celebrating our 15^th year at the Bed and Breakfast as ambassadors and hosts for the many people coming to visit and to make a life here in the beautiful Hudson Valley!
