Set Amidst 64 Acres in the high peaks of the Catskill Mountains stands a historic dairy farm — The Inn at West Settlement is rich in history and has been an integral part of the county since the early days. It is rich in wild nature in one of those very few, privileged and pristine regions of the Catskills.

A GLORIOUS MIX OF FOREST AND Lush ROLLING MEADOW,
SURROUNDED BY MOUNTAINS ON THREE SIDES.

The southern exposure opens to verdant views of the fabled Catskill Mountains, presenting a dramatic backdrop for your special event. 

Our property includes a half-acre, spring-fed pond, a babbling brook(head waters of the Eastern branch of the mighty Delaware), delightfully colorful organic perennial flower gardens and cutting gardens, organic seasonal vegetable garden, unspoiled views, and a bountiful blueberry orchard. Summer daytime temperatures average 78 degrees, with the property’s elevation resulting in fresh country breezes and low humidity, adding to comfort levels all summer long. At 2,000 ft elevation the area is virtually bug free.

The enchantment of the setting takes on a unique perspective after the sun goes down, as well.

With evening’s arrival, the pristine Catskill Mountain air morphs into a wonderful blend of natural scents emanating from the forests and fields. It’s an ideal time for socializing with family and friends or simply sitting back and becoming immersed in a stargazer’s paradise.

Guests are also welcome to explore the adjacent
2,000 acres of forever-wild lands.

Private access from the property opens these protected lands to our guests for year-round recreational enjoyment such as hiking, fishing and cross-country skiing.
