What they are saying about A Mountain View Retreat Click here for Trip Advisor Reviews for A Mountain View Retreat, Germantown, New York. And one recommendation that wasn’t on Trip Advisor “I came to this spot seeking quiet, perspective and guidance. The views, both the expanse of “the mountain” and in the immediate environs are stunningly constructed to invite just that “perspective.” Patricia’s sense of aesthetic informs every choice from outdoor sculpture gracing the grounds, to the gazebo with hammock, to the nuanced choices of fabric and color in the interior. These accommodations are elegant and inspired without being precious; the food is delicious and nurturing. And then, there is Patricia, herself…a consummate host full of spirit, humor, wisdom and grace.” |

Formal Country Breakfast
 (picture by our guest Avril) |
A full, mostly organic, country breakfast is served each morning at nine. After numerous requests, here is the recipe for my Herb Scrambled Cheddar Eggs Brown butter in Skillet Put in two eggs per person DO NOT BREAK THE YOKES Sprinkle in shredded cheddar cheese A little seasoning salt (I use Lawry's) A little dill, fresh or bottle (chopped fine) NOW here's the secret, while cooking use the spatula around the yokes. Don't break the yokes until the white has been scrambled and mostly cooked and then at the last minute scramble in the yokes. Voila! Patricia's Herb Scrambled Cheddar Eggs |
