Lovely home with wonderful breakfast. One of our favorite stays on a 2-week trip.

The Mountain View Inn was even better than I expected. From the beautiful wraparound mahogany porch to the freshly baked, white chocolate, macadamia nut cookies, Dean and Jean Marie's (owners/innkeepers) attention to detail was impressive. The Inn had antique charm without being stuffy, and the atmosphere was friendly and comfortable. For Dean and Jean Marie, the Inn is not just a business, it is their home. I believe this is ultimately what made our stay so wonderful. In addition to the beautiful inn and great service, the breakfast was delicious, and the homemade breads were better than anything I've purchased in bakeries. The Mountain View Inn is only a minute from the Infinity Music Hall/Bistro, so my friend and I ate at the Bistro and attended the Dar Williams concert. The newly restored, historic music hall has an atmosphere unlike any other music venue I've ever visited. The 300 seat hall with its soaring ceilings and stained glass windows, is set up in a way that promotes interaction between the artists and the audience. Dar Williams expressed how thrilled she was to have the chance to perform in such a unique place. Apparently, word is spreading around the music community that Infinity Music Hall is a place that performers should not miss. If you plan on attending a concert here, order your tickets well ahead of time because they sell out fast. In addition, I'd recommend making reservations for the Bistro if you plan on dinning there before an event. Overall, our stay at the Mountain View Inn was the perfect weekend trip. The convenient location in the quintessential New England town of Norfolk makes it a place I will visit again. I also look forward to seeing Dean and Jean Marie (and their rescue poodle, Noel), because when I left I felt they were more like friends and not just innkeepers.

This is a wonderful, comfortable, very clean country inn/bed and breakfast. It is an intriguingly restored large Victorian home, for many years a reknown German restaurant. The owners (Dean and Jean Marie) are warm, engaging hosts. My wife and were there for a dinner/conference. The food and wine were fabulous (catered); the breakfast the following morning was wonderful. Great location steps away from the Yale summer music center; Norfolk's Infinity theater is just a bit farther. Great location for exploring the southern Berkshires. Just superb. Enjoy. FC

Nestled in the Connecticut hills in a quiet bucolic corner of Conn we discovered Mountain View Inn . This Victorian Inn has been restored with authentic antiques and furnishings. The hosts Dean and Jean Marie are helpful and eager to please guests. The food service and preparation is of top quality. This Inn affords close destinations for music,art,outdoor activities and just plain enjoyment of peace and quiet amidst beautiful scenery of plants,trees foliage and birds. Beds are wonderful,good towels and amenities.This has been one of our finest B&B experiences.Elaine and Bret

Innkeepers enjoy the hospitality business and that equates to a great stay. Beautiful property, charming rooms, afternoon treats, expanded buffet breakfast. Great for a stress buster weekend.
