Welcome to the Bavarian Manor Inn and Restaurant in Purling, New York
Welcome to Bavarian Manor in Purling….Located in the legendary Catskill Mountains.
The rooms are lovely. 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. Some of the walls are crooked, some of the floors are slanted and sometimes the building creaks. So what makes the Bavarian Manor Country Inn 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 now, The Bavarian Manor Country Inn, it’s mission, for over 140 years, 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. The family and entire staff are committed to doing their personal best each and every day to see that everyone has a wonderful stay.
There are 18 bedrooms, a cocktail lounge and a full service restaurant on it’s 100 acres. Each room features it’s own private bath, cable tv, wi-fi, a/c, in-room coffee, alarm clocks (if you really have to), and some have mini-fridges, jacuzzi bathtubs and fireplaces. We’re even pet friendly! The hearty full menu country breakfast that’s served at your private table is the perfect way to start each day.
Stan and Suzanne are 3rd generation family innkeepers keeping tradition alive. Suzanne’s grandparents and parents are all from Bavaria, Germany and the Inn has been in her family since 1930. Stan was born in Poland. They met while Stan was working here during a summer hiatus from cooking on ships! You’ll note a distinct European atmosphere along with it’s Catskill Mountain essence. The restaurant they started is a C.I.A. and California Culinary approved extern teaching kitchen.

All year long the Catskill Mountains entice visitors with it’s breathtaking scenery while hiking, skiing, shopping, exploring and relaxing. Artists such as Thomas Cole, Asher B.
