Area Information
Menla Mountain
Retreat & Conference Center is 1500 feet above sea
level and set on a 320-acre private nature reserve. It is
located in a region of the Catskills renowned for its
unspoiled beauty, variety of wildlife, abundance of
rushing streams and rivers, and mountains. Aside from its
natural splendor, the area offers such activities as
canoeing, biking, horseback riding, and cross country
skiing. For avid downhill skiers, the noted Bellayre and
Hunter Mountain resorts are within easy reach. For
cultural pursuits, Menla is located near the famous town
of Woodstock, New York, noted for its art galleries,
music, and shopping.

New York City
- Three and a half
hours from Boston
- One hour from
Stewart Airport in Newburgh, N.Y. and Albany
International Airport
- Fifty minutes from
Rhinecliff Amtrak Station
