Fresh Blanket of Snow!

The blizzard of February 8th brought us approximately 10 inches of fresh snow last night!

After a breakfast of yogurt with fresh strawberries and blueberries, baked french toast and cranberry banana muffins, our guests happily went off to the Belleayre Mountain.

The sun has just started to show itself and its perfect skiing, boarding, snowshoeing or cross country skiing weather. Twentry degrees and fresh powder. Who could ask for more.

Looking like President's week will be glorious. We're booked for the weekend buy have availability for the week and following weekend. Come join us, you are in for a treat!

Huge Snowfall in Catskills

It started snowing in the Catskills last evening around 5pm. I cleared the steps twice within two hours to no avail. At 2am it was snowing so hard, I couldn't see more than 15 feet outside the window. Thank goodness I was inside. This morning Belleayre Mountain reported 18 " of fresh snow. All the lifts are running; 33 trails are open!

Guests at the Breezy Hill Inn were so eager to get to the slopes early, they were cleaning their cars at 7am as the snow continued to fall. At our Catskills B & B today we served a breakfast of fresh pineapple and berries, croissants followed by a cheese and chives omelet with toast. Immediately thereafter, they were off to hit the slopes.

More snow is on the way! Come join us for a snowy New Years!

Happy Holidays Skiiers and Boarders,

We are open and ready for the season. We have reservations and some vacancy. Stay at Breezy Hill Inn and you be eligible for vouchers for discount lift tickets at Belleayre Mountain where they are blowing snow! I was up at the mountain yesterday. There were three trails open and my friends Joe and Tom said the skiing was great.

So call us for a reservation, pack up your gear and head up to the slopes!>

Hope to see you soon,

Summer Turns to Fall


It has been a long time since I have sat down to write this blog; I am not sure what has caused the hiatus but, frankly, I have missed writing and I am back again. This summer has been extremely busy at Breezy Hill Inn. We have hosted guests for several weddings and still have more coming up in the next few weeks. This past weekend, the parents of a groom who was married to his lovely bride on a farm in the Halcott Valley stayed at the Inn. The newly married couple were here as well and it was a joy to see so many happy people share in the couple's special day. 

Our part of the Catskills is drawing brides and grooms from all over the country. They are getting married in restored barns, in meadows, under tents in off the beaten track hallows and introducing their guests to the beauty of the Central Catskills. We have a barn here at Breezy Hill Inn and we are thinking about cleaning it out and turning it into an event space. If we do, I will chronicle the work and post updated photos for all to see.

Today the weather is perfect, temperatures are in the seventies, there is a gentle breeze and the color on
the trees indicates that fall is not far behind. This has been an extremely dry summer and I am hoping that the leaves will not turn to quickly. Fall is spectacular in the Catskills; the colors range from orange to red and every shade in between. As lovely as summer is, the crisp days and cool night of fall are refreshing and always invigorating.

Time to start thinking about hiking. Come visit us for Indian summer and enjoys the last weeks of the harvest.

First Ski and Board Day at Belleayre

It's a spectacular morning!

The sky is bright blue with some clouds this morning. As you see from the picture, snow is on the ground. Up at the mountain, they have been busy blowing snow to add to nature's bountiful snowfall this past Thursday. Our guests at the Inn this weekend are on their way to the mountain for their first run of the season. They had a great breakfast featuring Georgette's fine herb omelette. Join us at Breezy Hill Inn this season and ski or board at half price.

Recovering in the Catskills

Hurricane Irene dealt this part of the world an unexpected and deft blow. Our creeks and streams already swollen from a rainy August became raging and powerful rivers after 27 hours of unrelenting rain. The villages in the valleys were passable by boat only for hours after the storm passed through. The amount of damage and devastation was incomprehensible. In our village of Fleischmanns, ten houses were swept away, a woman died and countless homes and properties were severely damaged. Most of our roads and bridges are repaired and life goes on. The spirit here is indomitable!

Breezy Hill Inn is situated on the side of a mountain and out of the path of the rivers. We are thankful and feel sorrow for those who were adversely affected.

Autumn is in the air; nights are cool and the days are still warm. The leaves have started to change colors although many are dried and brown, a result of the early drought of the spring and summer. We expect the mountains to be aglow with oranges and reds and ideal leaf peeping is only a few weeks away.

Support our recovery by visiting our area!
