SGM Photography won an award for this great shot of our B&B. Velvet waterfalls at the magic hour captured by Scott Morris. Imagine being here now.
Lake Wawaka and our island on our mile along the headwaters of the East Branch of the Delaware River.
A time for reflection.
Gourmet breakfasts by Susan feature her creative talent using china as her canvas.
Enjoy a cup of green tea or coffee by the fire before breakfast. How about a glass of wine after skiing nearby.
Stepping back in time in our 1810 mill house. Bring your laptop and enjoy wireless access to enjoy connecting if you really need to.
Not a ripple on the lake this evening. Everyone is ready for a good night's sleep in the heart of the Catskill Mountains.
Guests paddle for free.

4.2 out of 5A Magic Little Secret
February 22, 2010
This is my sixth time at Susan and Jim's lovely B&B. I enjoyed every moment of my stay in this place and any time of the year. It's really that little secret that many people don't want to share as the place offers so much tranquility and relaxation. A beautiful view on a lake and a fall, lot of privacy, amazing breakfast, skiing, fishing, kayaking all minutes away or even with no need to move your car. What else you are looking for? Just ask the owners and they are always glad to help.

This B&B is the best. Each time we come, this conclusion is further reinforced. Susan and Jim are the greatest hosts, the facility and scenery are great, breakfast is tops.

5 out of 5Great fun for the family
June 14, 2007
My family visited during Memorial Day weekend 2007 and enjoyed ourselves immensely. Jim and Susan, the proprietors, were extremely hospitable as were other guests of this fine establishment. Breakfast was top-notch. All our kids (10 months, 5 y/o, and 7 y/o) enjoyed Jim's magic and convenient kayaking, hiking and biking. We will definitely visit again.

4.4 out of 5A wonderful place to experience the Catskills

We were passing through the area and only ended up staying one night but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Susan was a delightful person and the breakfast she prepared rivals 5-star hotels. We will be back and recommend kayaking the lake.
