Come and enjoy the relaxed friendly hospitality that is Bavarian Manor Country Inn. The people, the accommodations, the food make everyone’s getaway just what the doctor ordered. The rooms are lovely and comfortable. Each tastefully decorated with antiques and complemented with modern amenities. The restaurant is sought out for it’s award-winning cuisine in an old world atmosphere. Of course, being built circa Civil War, some of the walls are crooked, some of the floors are slanted and sometimes the building creaks. So just how does that explain why the Bavarian Manor Country Inn is so popular?
The answer to that is simple….The Bavarian Manor Country Inn has a great sense of place. When you arrive you feel it. This 4-story Victorian Country Hotel has been a Catskill Mountain landmark since 1865. Starting out as a mineral water health spa, then becoming “The Columbian” and then in the early 1930′s, The Bavarian Manor Country Inn. It’s mission, as stated over 145 years ago, has been to offer guests a calm oasis from a stressful world in a friendly and gracious manner. It was once written (in the 1940′s) that the Inn attracts a happy and carefree group. That is true today as well. Come and sit on our lovely porch in all seasons! Enjoy the fresh air, open sky, peace and rest. We like to see our guests come back time and time again and look foward to meeting new guests. There is a sign someone gave us. It says “Stress Free Zone”. Can you relate?

No pretense here. The big front veranda is set up with lots of wicker chairs and flowers, a slight breeze is always blowing and it’s the place to letting out all pent up stress”
