|
| 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. |

| Special Features About Our Town |
| Downsville Covered Bridge |
| Our town is the home of the Downsville Covered Bridge built in 1854 before the Civil War spans the East Branch River a branch of the Delaware River. Its span is 174 feet which is the longest operational covered bridge in New York state and second oldest. You can drive your car or walk across it. It was restored in 1998 at a cost of 1 million dollars. It was originally built by Robert Murray at a cost of $1,700.00. |
| The third Saturday of May each year has been set aside by the town for the Covered Bridge Festival. It's an event not to be missed. A big celebration is enjoyed by all--5K race, parade, many street vendors, concert, block party and ending with fireworks. |
| Tub Mill Falls |
| Downsville has a small but beautiful waterfall called Tub Mill Falls. It is a few blocks away from the Bed and Breakfast and many guests enjoy a great morning walk to the Falls. |
| Pepactor Reservoir |
| Pepactor Reservoir is the dam that supplies New York City with its water. Fishing with a permit is allowed and this is a beautiful site to see during your stay at our Bed and Breakfast. The town is known as "The Best Little Town by a Dam Site". |
