Yearning for an escape from this muggy pit we call home? A quick getaway at a hip, affordable retreat with plenty of recreation and a wonderful environment to relax, eat fresh organic meals and spend hours catching up on some much needed yoga sessions is any New Yorker’s ideal quicky vacation weekend.
The Breathe Inn is a historic Victorian House built in 1866 turned modern Bed & Breakfast in the Catskills, just a 2 hour drive from Manhattan, on 19 wooded acres of land. Started by Camella Ehlke, interior designer and founder of Triple Five Soul clothing line, and Marion Aitcheson, gourmet chef to the elite (Russell Simmons, Annie Leibowitz), Breathe Inn is a is gorgeous, more contemporary counterpart to its neighboring Catskills B&Bs. They’ve paid close attention to style, design and food, with an amazing menu using all natural local ingredients, and a full time chef. Especially good for New Yorkers who are yoga and organic obsessed, the owners focus on the “mind, body & soul” aspect without being too intimidating or going overboard.
The B&B has just seven guest bedrooms ranging in price from $150 for “Art Studios” (decorated by notable NYC artists) to $400 for the “The Skylite” Master Suite which includes private bathroom, steam shower, jacuzzi, and private sun deck & entrance. Shared ammenities include a heated outdoor pool, sauna, wood-burning fireplace, yoga/excercise studio, fully-stocked media room, glass sunroom, and ipod docking stations in each guestroom all set against the breath-taking Catskill mountain views. Enjoy scrumptuous bites like carrot and beet potato latkes or scrambled tofu with sweet peas, carrots, parsley, hijiki with a strawberry mimosa for breakfast!
There’s a 2 night minimum on weekends (oh, drats!) Yoga retreats, juice fasts, cooking classes, and cycling all coming soon! Call to book a room.
