Beaverkill Valley Inn
Beaverkill Valley Inn, 7 Barnhart Road, Livingston Manor, NY 12758, United States- Spaces for 200 Guests
Beaverkill Valley Inn is a historic 19-room inn set on 60 acres in the Catskill Mountains of New York, originally built in 1895 as the Bonnie View Inn. The property sits along a pristine stretch of the Beaverkill River, in a valley long regarded as the birthplace of American dry fly fishing. Original architectural details — a wraparound porch, hand-carved oak mantles, original fireplaces, and an ornate grand stairway — have been preserved throughout, making the inn the only property of its size, style, and era still welcoming guests in the region. The inn hosts only a select number of weddings and private events each year, with capacity for up to 150 guests across its riverside grounds. Multi-day wedding packages span rehearsal dinners, ceremonies, cocktail hours, receptions, and farewell brunches. Farm-to-table dining anchors every event: the culinary team draws on seasonal, locally sourced produce and farm-raised meats in a dining room that retains its original early-1900s character.
