Hudson Valley Bed and Breakfast

For those looking for some summertime fun in the sun, the Hudson Valley is the place to be! There is no place better for outdoor activities. From extreme sports to calm cruises on the Hudson, there is something for everyone. For those looking for some summer exercise, Storm King Adventure Tours offers hiking and kayaking excursions for people of all abilities and interests. One fun way to get physical while you explore the Hudson Valley is by mountain biking through Black Rock Forest, a nearly 4000-acre nature preserve in the Hudson Highlands. If a relaxed adventure is more your style, consider an afternoon sightseeing cruise of the Hudson River on the River Rose of Newburgh followed by lunch at one of the fine dining restaurants on the Newburgh waterfront such as Cena 2000 or The River Grill. There are jazz concerts on the waterfront every Wednesday and Thursday in July and August, and it is always a great place to be during the summer. For a summertime treat with your sweetheart, enjoy the romantic experience of hot air ballooning over the majestic scenery of the Hudson Valley. Above the Clouds in Middletown and Blue Sky Balloons in Beacon both offer fabulous hot air balloon rides where you can sit back, float, and enjoy the scenery together. A horseback ride is a fun and easy way to explore nature. There are many stables in the Hudson Valley, like Juckas Stables in Bullville, that rent horses by the hour for day rides and can even arrange overnight camping trips. Summer is the season for fun, and exploring the Hudson Valley this summer will certainly provide you with lots of adventures and experiences that will make your summer unforgettable.

 July 4^th is one of the most special times to be in Orange County. There is something for everyone – whether you like American history, fireworks over the Hudson, or hot dogs & sno cones. For some great small-town parades, Cornwall and Circleville both fit the bill. For those who like history, spend an afternoon at Washington’s Headquarters in Newburgh, where Mickey “The Lip” Tangel will be there to talk about baseball through music, poetry, and storytelling. Stay there until dusk, where you will have a great view of the fireworks over the Newburgh waterfront from the lawn. Another great way to see the fireworks is on a Hudson River cruise – the River Rose leaves from Newburgh landing in the evening and promises a night of great views and good fun. Bear Mountain State Park also has an impressive fireworks display, set against the scenic backdrop of the Hudson Valley. For an all-day event, check out Port Jervis’ 4^th of July Extravaganza! There will be a reading of the Declaration of Independence, patriotic songs, and a fireworks display, along with plenty of food and ice cream vendors! Or take part in the Great American Weekend in Goshen, where there are crafts, entertainment, rides, and great food. Come support our brave firemen at the Firemen’s parade in Greenwood Lake, which will be followed by fireworks at dusk. For an unforgettable American experience, spend your 4^th of July with America’s finest at the historic West Point Military Academy. The West Point Band’s Jazz Knights will be there to give a free concert, which will as always conclude with Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture, live canons, and fireworks. No matter what your 4^th of July plans are, Orange County is one of the most exciting and nostalgic places to be on this national holiday.
