About this property
Large, Charming Home Next To America's Historic Beaverkill Trout Stream.
Beaverkill Manor is a 2.5 hour drive from NYC and halfway between Roscoe and Hancock off 17. It offers over 4500 sq feet of space and comfortably handles groups up to 18. We have a 3 night minimum in peak periods and 2 night minimum off-peak (ask). Just a short walk to one of the country's preeminent fly fishing rivers, this 6 acre property will transport guests into a uniquely peaceful, bucolic setting with a sprawling lawn, fire pit and chairs, and gardens to enjoy in the summer, while an expansive victorian interior with a gourmet kitchen is suitable for memorable family and friend gatherings anytime of the year. The property is ideal in times of social distancing with many activities nearby suitable to safe recreation and excellent high speed internet (FO) connection. Enjoy hiking, biking, cross country skiing, birdwatching, canoeing and fishing, or simply relax and do nothing at the splendid 4000 square foot home which is decorated with sturdy antiques consistent with the home's late 19th century architecture and not the least bit stuffy. Extensive woodwork, and original chestnut paneling run through much of the house. Six bedrooms have their own bathrooms. The chef's kitchen includes a commercial 8 burner 2 oven range, 2 sinks and a subzero refrigerator. And the kitchen is fully stocked with high quality cookware. The dining room table can seat 12, while there is a small table in the kitchen for breakfast. A covered porch looks out on the garden. Outdoor dining under a vine covered pergola is magical. Grill on a Weber gas grill until your heart's desire. Inspired chefs can also pick fresh herbs from the garden. A butler pantry next to the dining room includes a microwave and a single cup coffee maker as well as a sink. The home has three parlor rooms, two of which have cable TV and DVD players. A mudroom/laundry room abuts the dining room and houses an antique half-bathroom. There is superior fibre optic high-speed internet/wifi to the modem in the home but no phone line and can support large number online and ideal for remote working and or school. Cell reception works well in the home. The driveway is gravel and includes a dry-stacked stone wall running the length of the drive. The home is located in the hamlet of Peakville and was built by the Peak family. There are five other homes in the hamlet and the closest is 100 yards away offering loads of privacy and spacious lawns for sledding, soccer, whiffle ball and corn hole (we have a set). Just bring clothes. and food/drinks. Linens, and towels, are freshly washed and beds made for every group. We have a good supply of herbs, sugar, salt and pepper for your use. Weekly garbage pick up is Wednesday morning and is taken from the cans on the side porch.

About the host
Hosted by David Gilmore
Dave Gilmore, an economist and Jeanette Gilmore, a psychologist, live year round on Connecticut's southeastern shoreline where they raise their two children. They have been coming to the Catskills to fly fish for over two decades and found this peace of heaven they dreamed of in the big yellow house on the hill in East Branch where they vacation now too. Jeanette was born in California while Dave was born on Long Island. They met at UC Berkeley and lived in California together for 6 years before moving to London, England where they attended grad school and worked. They moved to NYC after London where they worked and Jeanette went to grad school for her PhD. In the late 90's they moved to Essex, CT and have lived in the area since. With two young girls they live an active life raising their children, traveling, boating and fishing.
Why they chose this property
Once you see the property you will know why we bought it. It is spectacular. The scenery is beautiful with bald eagles cruising the river valley, and the fishing is epic for the patient and determined angler. Kayaking and canoeing is also available through outfitters in Hancock and Callicoon, or DIY. And yes we do ski and drive 45 minutes to Elk Mountain in PA for excellent skiing or 60 minutes to Belleayre. We border the Catskills State Park where public ponds for swimming and canoeing, and hiking trails are not far by car.
What makes this property unique
What is better than a beautiful period villa next to a premier trout fishing river with large wild brown and rainbow trout (even walleye and smallies for the pan fishermen) and a home suitable to entertaining family and friends in memorable setting. We do believe in catch and release - trout if properly released will live as if never caught and the population will make for good fishing for the ages.
