Bavarian Manor Country Inn & Restaurant

Welcoming, warm staff invite you to slow down and smell the lilacs. The inn is from another era, but that is part of the charm. The food is fantastic. If you want to decompress, this is the place to do it!

The Bavarian has been one of our favorite restaurants for many years. We have driven through rain, sleet and snow to get here for the most outstanding German cuisine around. The Schnitzels, Sauerbratten and Rouladen are great favorites. Suzanne and Stan are so accomodating, and really lovely people. They employ a terrific staff in the inn and the restaurant. The inn is 150 years old and still has many of it's original architectural details, although recent renovations to modernize rooms have kept it current and up to date. There are antiques and nice casual country appointments throughout without being 'fussy'. The rooms range from cozy bedrooms to large suites, many with great views of the eastern mountains and of the lake on the property. There are nice hiking trails on the near 200 acres the Oldakoski's own, and you are free to room about the place-maps of the property are available. My partner and I finally decided after eating here so many times we would stay here as well. It's really nice having a wonderful German dinner and just walking upstairs, or joining in for a drink in the busy Tap Room where the local folks meet to chat and catch up on news. Then in the morning come downstairs for a full delicious made to order breakfast before setting out on your day in the Catskills. We highly recommend the Bavarian for the dining and the Inn. A great place to unwind and relax.

We intend to return.

Upgraded us to bigger room, room was beautiful, service excellent, Suzanne and staff very friendly and helpful, would highly recommend to others

Great variety of rooms to choose from - ours was small but very comfortable and cozy - just what we wanted. What's outstanding here is the staff. They really went out of their way to be helpful and accommodating. Everyone was just so very friendly it was so refreshing. Outstanding people, including the restaurant.

We had a wonderful time here. It's quiet and quaint, a perfect getaway from NYC. The staff was welcoming and sweet. Our server at breakfast and dinner was lovely! I really enjoyed this place.

Rooms were nice but the bed was super squeaky and they were having some water pressure problems one night. The food was very good. I'd stay there again.

My girlfriend and I stayed here one night recently while snowboarding at Windham Mountain. The owner was very cordial and inviting and gave us a great room. We had a very filling german style dinner in the evening and loved the included free breakfast. A great relaxing time in between the hitting the slopes. Would stay there again.

When we decided to spend New Year's 2012 in the Catskill a good friend or ours recommended we stay at the Bavarian Manor. So we did and i can say that it has been a very pleasant experience and we will definitely go back. From the front desk to cleaning personnel and restaurant services everything was beyond our expectations. Very friendly environment - more like a family. I would definitely recommend the place.

We had a pleasant stay at bavarian manor the place is very old and nicely Decorated . The staff is very friendly and helpfull , the rooms need a little updating ( minor repairs ) caulking and such but it's very old and a beauifull relaxing place A++ to Stan and suzzanne.

We had a wonderful restful night and great dinner and breakfast. I would recommend it to friends. The inn itself is old, so don't expect the plumbing to be brand new and the floors not to squeak a bit. It was a lovely room right over the front porch, loved the fishing lodge decor and the Rip VanWinkle story.

My wife and I went there for a 3 night stay for our Honeymoon and it was a very quiet, relaxing atmosphere with great food for breakfast and dinner. Everything is kept very clean. The only thing I wasn't greatly impressed with was the size of our bedroom and not having a mini fridge. If I were to go again, I'd uprade to one of the larger rooms for $139/night....

funky floors due to the inn being built in 1865! The food was excellent, the staff friendly, and the area gorgeous.

A classic property, but once we got to our room, it was shabby. The restaurant is a different story--attractive in an old fashioned way, and the breakfast was generous.

We loved the old-country style and the comfort of the room. We came to see the sights of the Hudson Valley School of artists and Mrs. Oldakowski was super nice and gave us lots of helpful information. There was no dinner on the days that we stayed (M-Th), but breakfast was good. Cornelia and Lewis.

This is the second time we have stayed at the Bavarian Manor Country Inn and both times we found our days very relaxing. The owners as well as the staff, are very hospitable. You felt right at home. The full breakfast which is included was very filling and the pastries are made by the chef. One day we had the pastries warm, they had just come out of the oven. We have dinner at night in the dining room and the meals are very good. We enjoyed having drinks on the porch in the evening and checking emails in the morning. This is a great getaway not far from the city.

What a beautiful surprise to find this authentic Catskills inn tucked away off the beaten trail. Impeccablly clean, friendly staff, great food, authentic (meaning not stuffy or pretentious; REAL!) decor and charming rooms. I will be back after the perfect experience we had!

The rooms were very quaint and were perfect for quiet relaxing. The outdoor porch was beautiful and took me back in time.

My husband and I absolutely enjoyed our stay at Bavarian Manor Inn. The staff was friendly. We actually got a free upgrade which wasn't expected. We also enjoyed our breakfast and dinner. We felt relaxed and right at home. We now have a place to go to every summer. Thanks Bavarian Manor!!

The Bavarian Manor Inn was a great place to relax. We were in town for the weekend for a wedding and it was a great place with easy access to Catskill, NY. The breakfasts (which are included in your stay) were fantastic. Cook to order breakfast is generally not what I expect from an inn that includes breakfast, but a welcome surprise. I have heard the dinner is also great, but we were not around for any dinner. There are is a great set of snowmobile trails right at the Inn which are great for a trail run in the morning for the athletic type. The staff was fantastic and our room very clean. My only complaint was that we had an iron in our room with no ironing board. This made getting ready for the wedding a tad more difficult. All in all a great stay. I would return.

This is a great place to get away to. The Innkeepers are wonderful and friendly. The food is fantastic.

My husband, adult son, and I planned a motorcycle ride Memorial Day weekend and booked a family room. Unfortunately, our son was unable to join us at the last minute. When we arrived at the hotel, we told the registration desk that he was not with us and given a King room instead. The hotel was lovely. Our room was very nice and comfortable and the grounds were gorgeous! We had a wonderful dinner in the restaurant and very pleased with the full breakfast we had in the morning. We will be staying there again next time we are in the area.

I have stayed at this inn for weekends and even got married there! The food is amazing, and the accommodations are sweet. I especially recommend the rooms with a jacuzzi!

The rooms were charming as always, and the place has a really relaxing atmosphere. Unfortunately, the food was not up to par. At dinner, I ordered a veal dish and my wife ordered chicken. Both dishes were tough and frankly unappetizing, so we were disappointed there. Usually, the food is great. An "off" night?

We enjoy this B&B so much it is our 4th year. Very comfortable, friendly accommodations, staff and management. Our boys love this place and have nicknamed it "the Haunted House" but no evidence of a ghost! Wonderful hearty breakfast to prep us for our day on the slopes. A lovely dinner and relaxing environment to return to afterwards. The restaurant and bar attract many jolly local residents.

We expected our stay to be fun, but it was better than that. Truly caring staff, a pleasant and relaxing setting, amazing views. And when they said "pet-friendly" they weren't kidding. They even ordered great weather for us :). We felt lucky to have found the Bavarian Manor and hope to return soon.

We stayed only over night on our way from Niagara Falls to Boston. House is wonderful and very charming. Bed and bathroom are a bit small, but room is nicely furnitured and very quiet. We really loved the breakfast, it was marvelous! Suzanne was very kind. We can unambiguously recommend staying at this Bed&Breakfast. Dining unfortunately was not possible as we arrived beginning of the week.

What a pleasure to spend a few days at the Bavarian Country Inn. The rooms are relaxing, the staff exceptional in meeting our needs and the restaurant is excellent. We love that the Inn is pet friendly. It is comforting to relax with some of the local Catskill residents while enjoying a cocktail in the intimate bar.

Was at the Inn for friends wedding. Great service and staff was very friendly. Wou8ld defiantly recommend to friends and family.

You could not find an place that is more welcoming. Everything was great!

I'm very willing to include my name as I think the Bavarian Manor is a phenomenal B&B. I can't think of a nicer place to stay and have only the highest complements to pay to Suzanne and Stanley. It's a gem nestled in the beautiful Catskills. Patricia Eren

friendly, relaxed and laid back atmosphere makes for a very restful and enjoyable vacation experience. this hotel blew us away!

A lovely, comfortable inn. Brings back fond memories of childhood vacations in the Catskills.

The place was very cute and the staff were very nice. We wished we had stay towards the end if the week because most things around the area were closed, some due to the hurricane, so understood. We would go back.

The atmosphere in the 19th century-era Victorian inn was welcoming and warm. Sue and Stan, as well as their entire staff, are helpful and friendly without being intrusive. The fact that they are the third generation of the family to run the inn is reflected in their relaxed approach to their business. Dinner is not to be missed! Stan's daily special appetizer of brie baked in pastry and served with fresh fruit was outstanding, as were both our entries and the dessert which we split. The wine list was very reasonably priced. Breakfast each morning was also very well done, many choices and very fresh food. My wife and I hope to stay there again and will recommend it highly to all our friends.

Our room, although small, was charming and adequate for our needs. The other rooms we peeked at were all attractively decorated as well. We were greeted warmly the minute we walked in, and all the staff were very hospitable and friendly. The food is FABULOUS, and breakfast is included (try the coffee cake - yum!). The building is lovely and we enjoyed relaxing on the huge wrap-around porch. Some aspects of the room needed a little work, e.g. the bathtub faucet dripped and there seemed to be water damage on the bedroom ceiling. The taste of the tap water is a bit unpleasant for someone used to NYC water, but that is because of the spring it arises from. However, these are minor complaints and we still thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We would stay at Bavarian Manor again and would certainly recommend it to others.

My husband rediscovered this gem in the Catskills after spending his summers in Purling as a child. We love the cozy rooms, the peaceful atmosphere, celebrating our wondeful German heritage, and sitting on the porch after enjoying the best German meal you could have, smoking a cigar and sharing a bottle of wine. Sue and all the other staff are very welcoming and that is why we plan to visit often.

We've returned to the Bavarian Manor every summer for the past 8 years. The service, rooms, ambience, and charm keep us coming back. It's our place in the country!

The house is very nice - it reminded me of the Magic Mountain (Mann). It's pretty old: that's why it's charming, that's also why it has some defects (you can here what's going on in the halls, the bathrooms are kind of old too...). I would recommend this place, but don't expect to be in a Marriott. Take it as it is, and you won't be disappointed.

It was a very nice location setting and the folks were very friendly and helpful. The dog and cat were friendly also.

Once again our annual weekend stay at this wonderful inn was just what we expected. The room was clean, roomy and very well appointed. The breakfast is always excellent and seems to hold you over till dinner time. The breakfast staff are so friendly and cant do enough for you. We ate dinner at the inn one night and it was delicious. I ate the trout and my wife had the broiled seafood. We have had other selections from the menu in the past and have never been dissapointed. Our server Jennifer could not have been more friendly and accommodating. Both my wife and myself highly recommend this inn to anyone looking to a relaxing time with wonderful dining, and an extremely friendly staff.

our second stay at Bavarian Manor. this time, we upgraded to a larger bed and room (were in #12 last year; this year in #36). beautiful view, very comfortable queen-size bed, and much larger room. Bathroom fixtures not new, but very clean, which was more important. the German food in the restaurant is excellent - worth the many beers! whenever we are in the area visiting family, we will always stay here

I can recommend this lnn & Restaurant without any reservation. Especially the dinner was one of the best German meals I had in my life (that includes living in Germany for more than 30 years). I will definitely return again.

We were overwhelmed with the beautiful atmosphere of this 135 year old inn, which is decorated throughout with antiques and lace curtains. The owners are gracious, the staff is dedicated to their jobs, and the menu includes some very fine German dishes - prepared perfectly. The breakfast is more than generous, with much to choose from, all cooked to order. The setting is quiet and idyllic - a fine retreat from any busy place. Our sleep here was peaceful; we look forward to returning and already have decided which room we'd like to try next!

Had a great time visiting my old hometown. The Bavarian is a great treasure in teh Catskill Mtns. great place to stay, quiet and great food. Will be visiting again . Thanks Suzanne for everything you did for our class reunion Friday

Some rooms were a bit small (but some were large and light) and especially the bathrooms maybe to old, but that's the only things below average. Extremely good and friendly service, tasty breakfast and such a nice and classic house! Would so much like to go there once again..but I'm from Denmark:-(

You are absolutely right,I agree with your statement regarding our bathrooms. At this time, we are in the process of meeting with contractors to update some of them. We hope to have the renovations in progress within the next few weeks. Your comments regarding our Inn are appreciated.

This is our 3rd time staying at the Bavarian Manor and we totally expect to go back!

A very nice place. The owners are great and we would return if we are in the area again.

really enjoyed our stay. Food is EXCELLENT, free breakfast is outstanding as well. Very Very clean with plenty of space to relax. Goes the extra mile to please and serve in every way with a pleasant friendly attitude. Thank you for a great time. Looking forward to a return trip. Cal and Chris

We just love this place!! We have been there multiple times now and would highly recommend it :)

Although we only spent one night at the Bavarian Manor we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. The Inn itself is a treasure in and of itself and I must say the meals were delicious and we must thank Suzanne for her gracious and warm hospitality. When we travel we only stay in B&B's and Inns and The Bavarian Manor is now on our list of " Inns to stay at". J&D

Because I had a full schedule of travel and wanted to stay near the palce where I was to give a talk on Sunday, I reserved a room at the Inn for just one night. I know the area somewhat, so I was a bit nervous about finding a place to eat. Turns out that the dining room serves some of the best German food I've ever had, served by a superbly attentive and friendly staff. My room was, as was stated "cozy", perfect for one or two people, and the bed, well, it resulted in a nights sleep of 8 hours - something I've not had in years. I can't say enough good things about this place and the kind folks who run it. and recommend it

Two day weekend visit at Bavarian Manor Inn: staff very friendly and welcoming; food excellent, especially the Schwarzwalder Kirschtorte; rooms clean and warm; all around nice stay.

It was magical ... the perfect romantic getaway. I would totally go there again.

We ended up with the smallest sized room because we made our reservation so late, but it was still quite nice. The place is well run and the fact that breakfast is included is convenient and a great deal. We plan on returning and bringing our dog with us next time.

The B&B was beautiful, lovely employees, delicious food the one thing that bothered me was the bed, very creaky. Other then that it was a lovely time.

We went there for our first anniversary. We will be definetly going back there for many more anniversaries. It was a very clean, warm, cozy atmosphere. Everyone made you feel very comfortable. The restaurant was awesome too, I am half german and italian, and I absolutely loved the german food. Everything was delicious especially the potato pankackes. Awesome place to just get away from all the city life and just relax and have fun.I thought the place was great. Very friendly people. The rooms were very warm, and I am not just saying the room itself, I am saying also the coziness of the room. We will definetly go back there again.

Cozy rooms, great wrap around patio. German dinner was delicious, and hanging out at the bar near the fireplace was very warm and relaxing. Staff was helpful with things to do in the catskills and the area was beautiful.

Great place to unwind and relax for a weekend.. A true stress reliever... You have to dine here.. The food is down right homemade and delicious... Will be back soon...

Suzanne is a gracious hostess, knowledgeable and friendly. Made us feel right at home regarding accommodations, meals and just hanging out enjoying the solitude. Great place to get away and relax. Leave the kids home!

The food was excellent, very comfortable and homy B&B. The owners are wonderful. Great stay. I will stay there on my next visit to the area.

my husband and i love this bed and breakfast. we have stayed countless times over the last few years. we havent been able to get there in a about a year now. but everytime we went we had a better time than the time before. the people who run the inn are very delightful people. i even surprised my husband on his 50th birthday with a weekend away at the inn and we had a wonderful time. we cant wait to find the time to be able to go back! thanks suzanne and stan for all you do! maryann ednie

I went with my wife and 2 year old daughter for a 24 hour getaway from the city and it felt like a full week away. The hotel was exactly what we were looking for, great feel to it, old fashion with modern amminities. The restaurant and manor are German themed even the staff in the restaurant which only added to the great food and service including the full breakfast part of the stay. We also took a drive to the caverns an hour away and even stopped at a petting zoo for the little one close by on our way out of town. The air, the water, the food, the service and the rooms, all exceeded our expectations and was just what we needed for a quick recharge and nice getaway. Affordable too for everything we did in a short time. If your just looking to relax or take a break, we highly recommend it and we will be going back.

There was some issue with our dinner order that led to an inexcusable delay (surrounding diners seemed to get reasonable service).

We were glad to find a place to stay on such short notice, it was FREEZING outside! When we arrived Friday evening, the atmosphere was quite jovial. Lots of fun in the tavern and tasty interesting German food with easy choices for our kids also. We tried some of the (local?) wine and opted for the imported drought beer instead. Rooms were fine, and the whole place felt like we stepped back in time to a happier place. We hope to go back in the summer and check out the grounds.

Our room was was tiny, code and not safe for a Claustrophobic. This was not what we signed up for. As we made our way to the bathroom, the first thing we noticed, after the floor sunk down a bit and seemed to shift, was the most poorly designed sink man has ever created. Hot and cold were on separate spouts and you had to hold each one down for water to appear. Letting go of either would cause the water to immediately stop flowing, making it nearly impossible to wash your face or hands. This might not be so bad if you could fill the sink, but the stopper was too small for the drain. Let's move on to the makeshift shower that more closely resembled a small tin can laced with stains more colorful than the autumn leaves we came to see. Standing in the shower was not only extremely tight, but once again the floor (or whatever it was) would sink and pop like the top of Snapple bottle. Needless to say I avoided that experience altogether. Also, locking the door is futile, it will just open. Since the room was quite cold we turned on the heat to find that it wasn't working; or so we thought. This heater was all or nothing 100 degrees or 0 degrees, and finding warmth by laying in the bed produced creeks and noises that could be heard on the other side of the inn. In fact the bed was so rickety, my girlfriend was awoken several times during the night from the tiniest shift in position. If it wasn't the noisy bed keeping us up, it was laundry room right next door, which was running at 12:00AM or the sound of people walking in the hallway bleeding through the paper-thin walls. I think random bugs that appeared in the room had a much better time than us, as they seemed to hang around quite a bit. Ultimately, we decided to cut our vacation short and left despite paid for the entire stay. This place is definitely not worth the money, and should be avoided at all costs.
