General Information

A Greene County historic landmark that has been receiving guests since the 1880's. The lush grounds and gardens offer spectacular views of the Catskill Mountains. Relax in a swing under a tree or on the wraparound porch overlooking the large pond where Japanese Koi put on colorful displays at their nightly feeding. On cool nights you'll find a crackling fire in the wood stove in our sun room where you can enjoy watching the wildlife grazing the grounds. Relax with a book, take a soak in the hot tub, paddle the pond, play old fashioned board games, croquet or horseshoes, or take a spin on our bicycle built for two. There's as much or as little as you'd like to do.
