Western Inn

We spent three nights at The Western Hotel in Callicoon, NY, and absolutely loved the experience. The hotel itself is a beautifully restored 1852 Victorian mansion that perfectly captures the charm of a bygone era while offering all the modern comforts you want for a relaxing stay. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome, and the entire atmosphere reflected the warmth and character of small-town hospitality. Our room was clean, comfortable, and full of historic detail, yet thoughtfully updated for comfort. Callicoon is one of those rare towns that feels untouched by time — a quiet, walkable main street with unique local shops, a vintage movie theater, and a few great spots to eat and grab coffee. There’s an old-town charm here that makes you slow down and enjoy simple pleasures, from chatting with locals to strolling along the Delaware River. The Western fits right into that spirit — it’s not a flashy resort, but a soulful, well-preserved gem that feels both authentic and relaxing. We enjoyed the on-site dining and the ease of having everything we needed right there, yet being just steps away from exploring Callicoon’s history and charm. We left feeling rested, reconnected, and already talking about when we might return. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates character, comfort, and a genuine sense of place.

A wonderful if slightly old school experience. An amazing boarding house from the age of horse and buggy, canal boats, and steam trains. Everything was very comfortable and so very central to the vibrant village of Callicoon. Make certain to be there around noon on Sundays for a short walk to the farmers market.

My husband and I just had an excellent overnight stay here. There were four other rooms booked besides us and noise was not an issue. The bed was extremely comfortable and the room provided everything we needed. As an added bonus, we were able to meet the owner Irene, who was so kind and extremely knowledgeable about the area. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back.

There were 5 of us for dinner on a Saturday night. The atmosphere of the place was very neat. The wait for our food was very slow. Don't know if, they were extra busy because the restaurant across the street was closed, due to an event, but it seemed the staff was overwhelmed (only two servers for the whole restaurant). This was a Saturday night around 5:45 pm. Two of our party members started with the French Onion soup which must've been sitting before it came out, because it was lukewarm at best. They would've sent it back, but the waitress was nowhere to be found. The burgers were very good. Tasty, fresh, and hot. The Buttermilk chicken sandwich was also good, but needed some seasonings and additional condiments, which we asked for, but never got. It was a cozy place, and we might give it another shot, as it could've been that they were short staffed. But there are a few other placed in the area we would probably try first.

What a beautiful place!!! We were greeted warmly and promptly. The bar had a very friendly feel, like everyone knew each other. The build is beautifully renovated. Each room having it's own look and feeling. The main dining room has a fireplace focal point that is beautiful. Every window has its own scene that's nicely designed. The white diningroom is feminine and airy with a wall of windows. The pool room however, is like stepping back in time. So incredibly cool. I enjoyed my brief stay.
