RETREAT AT ART OMI
Ghent, New York

HOLIDAY GETAWAY CLOSE TO HOME AT THE RETREAT AT ART OMI, 18-ROOM INN WITH SPACE FOR THE WHOLE GANG!

The entire Retreat at Art Omi, which is conveniently located within a few hours of Boston, New York City and other northeast points, is available for rent this holiday season. The Retreat at Art Omi, a cozy 18-room countryside artists' colony, is set on 200 picturesque acres overlooking the Hudson River Valley in upstate New York, and includes a 90-acre outdoor sculpture park. It is the perfect location for a reunion with family, friends before or during the holidays. The best part may be that The Retreat at Art Omi is priced low enough to make getting away affordable.
Between now and January 5, 2003, an intimate group that takes eight rooms or a larger gang that takes all eighteen can rent the entire facility for just $135.00 per person, per night, double occupancy, or $195.00 for a single.* It gets better. This price also includes three meals a day prepared by The Retreat's in-house chef (special requests are welcomed!), an all-day tea and hot cider station and all recreational equipment. A professional on-site "holiday helper" will be available all day, every day to ensure that the getaway runs smoothly, point guests in the direction of shopping for last minute gifts and wrapping supplies, and arrange day trips to party rooms are available for sleeping bag slumber parties, board game tournaments or just gathering to swap laughs and stories of holidays gone by.

On the property, weather permitting, guests may cross-country ski in the sculpture park, sleigh ride in the hills, snow shoe in the woods, hike and mountain bike. Within a half-hour drive, guests will find two major downhill ski areas, indoor roller skating, outdoor ice skating, indoor tennis, art galleries and antique shops, markets, shopping, cinema and a pub. Also nearby are cultural facilities such as the Shaker Village Museum, the Clark Art Institute, the Norman Rockwell Museum, Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, Olana State Historic Site and the Martin Van Buren National Historic Site.
