The Bell House Bed and Breakfast is located in Columbia County in the historic Hudson Valley. Situated in the beautiful Taconic Mountains, the inn is a gracious 19th century home built in 1830 by the Bell family who resided there for generations. Set on four acres and carefully restored in recent times, the inn offers guests a rural setting of picturesque charm. Warm and inviting, the house has comfortable rooms furnished with antiques, as well as all modern amenities. Overlooking beautiful perennial gardens, mature plantings and stately trees, guests can enjoy the swimming pool on a hot summer day or relax on the covered wrap around porch or the brick terrace overlooking the garden. One can stroll to town, or walk or bicycle on nearby lanes or browse through Red Fox Antiques, located on the grounds. Bask in the warmth of the fireplace, curl up with a book, play the piano or listen to music on a cool autumn or winter night in the comfortable living room or library. Full gourmet breakfasts are served in the beamed ceiling dining room, covered porch which wraps around the house, or in good weather, on the secluded brick terrace overlooking the secluded perennial gardens and barns.
