| A lovely place to take a walk... |
The Pines Inn is a luxury property in Pine Plains, NY (Dutchess County). The Victorian manse was built in 1878 and has been restored to its full grandeur. After a meticulous eight-year restoration, we are pleased to announce the reopening and document the exciting happenings of The Pines right here.

Fall Foliage
The leaves are turning early this year and it is breathtaking! On our way to the Taughannock Parkway, we enjoyed the gorgeous view from a nearby golf course.

Enjoying the Fall Bounty
We are so excited about all the wonderful fresh food this time of year. Last week we had the chance to pick raspberries from a beautiful kitchen garden.
The raspberries are phenomenal! We ate half of them on the ride home and then enjoyed a delicious cobbler. The white raspberries were especially juicy and delicious.
We hope you have a chance to enjoy some amazing Hudson Valley produce. And trust us, its even tastier when you pick it yourself...

Meet Mr. & Mrs. Abbey - bike riding adventurers
We were pleased to host Cindy & Bill Abbey from Seattle, Washington. They arrived on bicycle, anticipating an impedning rain storm and looking for accommodations. Hot coffee and a huge soaking tub awaited them on a chilly September day.
After flying from Seattle, Mr. and Mrs. Abbey started their bikeride in Warchester, Mass and are headed down to Florida. They left this morning en route to Staatsburg. Yesterday, they thoroughly enjoyed the ride on Winchell Mountain Road. The road between The Pines and Millerton, NY is a spectacular ride (15 minutes by car) with impressive views.
Mr. Abbey, a retired policeman, has riden across the country twice. Mrs. Abbey is getting into the sport. The adventure they are on is inspiring!

We hope the Abbey's enjoy their adventure! Good luck and happy trails from The Pines.
