“Home For Many”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2012

Such mixed feeling about the Bavarian. Room 37 on the 3rd floor had a queen spring bed with mattress only, no box spring, it was just too soft, no support. The room was very cool but the Inn supplied us with extra blankets; it was 3 to 7 degrees outside. Bathroom tub/shower with cadet toilet was dated but clean. The sink is in the room, nicely lighted and clean too.

The grounds of the Bavarian was needed more attention, the entry way was littered. There is just too much going on which makes one scratch their head "Why have they not put their lawn furniture away? Why are there black trash bags, presumably filled with patio cushions, stored outside on the patio? Why were the Christmas decoration still up on January 16th?

Breakfast was included with the price of the room. The breakfast starts at 8am (which is late if you ski) but it's excellent. Piece of fruit and cake, choice of omelet(s), french toast, pancakes, cereals. Small juice and endless coffee or tea. Very good service. The restaurant is huge taking up 2/3rds of the first floor with the bar and foyer taking up the other 1/3rd. The Inn waxes nostalgic with German (ahhem) "Bavarian" appointments. The waitresses serving dinner wear Bavarian style clothing; nice touch really.

Here is the twist; The Bavarian Manor Country Inn & Restaurant is HOME to many. Which is to say that the local residents frequent the Inn's restaurant and everyone knows everyone. They are a very friendly folk. This reviewer found it to be charming to see this down-home feel at the Bavarian. With everyone in such a rush in the holidays gone by it was a pleasure to switch gears, lay back and enjoy the Inn for what it is. If it were not for this bonding fabric which glues this Inn together, I would have given it 3 green circles but one has to look past the clutter to see what's important.

Room Tip: Ask for a room with a real box-spring.

“A tradition that does not disappoint”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011

I always feel like I am in a 1940s movie when I step into the lobby. My family has been coming here for years. We have never stayed over---we just go for the food and the atmosphere. (The food is great...German American Cuisine aka comfort food. And a to-die-for "choose your own desert" table on holidays that you can go back to as many times as you want. Check all attitude at the door and expect to be enchanted. If you have any elderly relatives or small children, they will be treated with repect and kindness by the warm staff.

So take a trip to Hansel and Gretel land. You will leave with a full stomach and a big smile.!



I would love to spend a weekend here but a few hours is like a mini vacation in itself.

We thank you so very much for your lovely review. I read it to our staff and want them to know how everyone's efforts are appreciated. One comment you made that hit home was about how coming here feels like the 1940's. My family has been here since the 1930's and I grew up in this hotel. My training has been in the old-fashioned friendly family style. It is the way it should be. My husband, Stan, and I don't feel comfortable with the hoity-toity and relish our sincere simple style. We are so glad folks like you like it also.

“charming and endearing”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 September 2011

i have been to the manor quite a few times and love it each time i go. my husband and i go at least once a year, we try for twice but time doesnt always allow. we have had some of our most memorable moment there. we have gone at all different times of the year and have never been at a loss for things to do or to do nothing at all. the hosts and the staff are very kind and accommodation people. they always have a smile, even at the end of the day. cant wait to find the time to go back!!!

Room Tip: rooms on one side of the building are very sunny and so are the corner units.

“Charming country Inn in a lovely setting”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 September 2011

We initially stayed here for a relatives memorial service but ended coming back a few weeks later for a music festival @ Hunter Mtn. The Bavarian Inn is like taking a step back in time. In true German decor, complete w/ knotty pine walls and antique cukoo clocks. Wonderful hosts and friendly service. Your stay includes a country breakfast of your choice w/ pancakes, french toast, eggs and sausage/bacon. Enjoy some of your favorites or all of them, it's included! The rooms are cozy and clean and the wrap-around front porch is to die for. Situated on a big lake w/ enough large-mouth bass for the entire family to catch! (trust me, I speak from experience!) We'd go back in a heart-beat. Suzanne and Stan are wonderful and it's a great location in the beautiful Catskill Mountains.

“Like a visit to interesting relatives in Europe”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 August 2011 via mobile

person found this review helpful

We found the Bavarian Manor when researching restaurants in the area we had an event in. We decided to spend a night after seeing how charming it looked on the internet. It absolutely IS charmimg. It's filled with interesting old photos and letters, art, and decor that reminded me of staying in the comfortable homes of my grandparents in Germany. We were upgraded to a bigger room with amazing windows but you can see the vacant rooms left open and can tell they are all thoughtfully decorated. We loved that they were pet friendly and had a resident dog and cat on the grounds. The restaurant was excellent. We're from NYC and used to great food places and this one was better than almost every German restaurant there. The staff was friendly and everything was very clean. Next year we will make a mini vacation out of it. The only disappointment is that the old letters and photos on the wall speak of springs that are no longer in use.
