General Information

Our farmhouse was built in 1892 and is located on Main Street in a hamlet called Downsville. The hamlet is nestled in the Catskill Mountains about 2 1/2 hours from New York City - a great getaway for the weary of heart. It has a population of just under one thousand, and is noted for its friendliness. It is a great place to stay for a vacation or overnight on your way to the Fingerlake Region (wine country) or to Niagara Falls. If you decide to go east, you can visit our College Towns of Delhi and Oneonta and then on to the famous Cooperstown and the Baseball Hall of Fame. We have many special features about our town - a covered bridge, a water fall, a reservoir. Come visit us and have a good time going back in history. Visit us and see how America used to be. There are many Antique stores and yard sales for the people looking for treasures. Plenty of sports activities and events are available for the young at heart. Something for everybody is our motto.
