Mountain View Green Retreat

Lovely Inn, immaculate inside and out and wonderful service provided. I can't say enough about the folks running this establishment. They went able and beyond to accommodate our family during our visit. Breakfast was served each morning at about 8:30 am. Hot coffee, fruit, quiche, potatoes, sausage etc were delicious. We had seconds and still there was plenty...and we are big eaters!!!! The price was fair and we were offered a generous discount because we were a large group and reserved several rooms. You will not be disappointed...wonderful place for family weekend getaway!

We were up in Norfolk to hear our son's musical piece at a special workshop . 8 of us stayed at the inn. Both Dean and Mary Jean were gracious. We enjoyed our stay, enjoying the finches on the outside deck, the breakfast and the other people we met at hotel. We highly recommend.

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.
