Mountain View Inn

Your Getaway

Let us help you create a memorable getaway...

Beyond the Mountain View Inn lies the “picture postcard” Connecticut countryside of the Litchfield Hills. Beautiful scenery abounds year-round with several state parks and miles of hiking trails maintained by our local land trust. There are horse drawn carriage rides in the summer, hayrides in the fall and sleigh rides in the winter. Norfolk offers vintage, consignment and antique shops as well as restaurants for your enjoyment. A short stroll away guests can attend live musical performances year-round at Infinity Hall and the renowned Yale Chamber Music Festival during the summer. Other area musical venues include Music Mountain and Tanglewood. And there’s much more!

Whatever your pleasure, here is just a short sampling of some of our favorite local and nearby attractions.
