My wife and I have stayed here 3 times since Summer, 2019. We couldn't ask for a better place to stay in the Bear Mountain area, or for that matter, anywhere. This beautifully appointed, luxurious home on the old J.P. Morgan estate, located directly on the Hudson River a few minutes north of the Bear Mountain Bridge, is run by the mother-daughter team of Roxanne and Kim. They're very welcoming, warm and friendly. Your every need is met, from complimentary wine and drinks to great coffee, and snacks such as biscotti and homemade cakes and muffins. The rooms are spacious with great beds, bathrooms and views. The beautiful sitting and living rooms with super comfortable furniture both have spectacular views, as well as a fireplace to get cozy with on fall and winter nights. The house belongs to the guests, as Roxanne, Kim and their families live in separate dwellings on the spacious grounds. At least one of them is present during the day to meet your needs.There's nothing like waking up to views of the Hudson River and the hills beyond, particularly during fall foliage season, and then easing into a bountiful, sumptuous home-made breakfast. During the summer, there's a great pool and deck with those same incredible views. If it's peace you're looking for, this is the place. If going out is your thing, both Roxanne and Kim know everything about this beautiful part of the country, from hiking trails to restaurants, and they're more than happy to share their special places with you. The Hudson River Valley is an awesome place to visit and explore, and, for us, Overlook on Hudson is by far, the best place to stay. We live in the heart of Manhattan, and with a drive of under an hour, we feel like we've been on a great vacation, even when we stay only a night or two. read more
