The Feathers Tavern
The Feathers Tavern, nestled within The Six Bells Countryside Inn in Rosendale, NY, is more than just a dining room—it’s the heart of the inn’s communal experience. With only 18 tables, the tavern feels intimate yet lively, welcoming guests into a richly decorated space that blends vintage charm with playful sophistication. Designed to reflect the same imaginative spirit that defines the inn, The Feathers features cozy red-cushioned corners, floral wallpaper, custom banquettes, and a sunroom-like space that invites lingering over a meal or cocktail. Seasonal menus are crafted in collaboration with consulting chef Molly Levine and head chef Larkin Young, featuring inventive yet comforting takes on classic American fare.
Guests begin their day with a complimentary European-style breakfast of soft-boiled eggs, smoked trout, and locally sourced meats and cheeses—served with thoughtful touches like coffee waiting for early risers. The evening menu is equally thoughtful, with standout dishes such as chilled buttermilk cucumber soup, oven-poached hake, roasted chicken, and corn fritters with fried sage. Creative cocktails, including the house favorite Golden Slipper, round out the offering. The Feathers also extends its experience outdoors, with a deck overlooking the Rondout Creek—perfect for seasonal dining under the open sky. Like the inn itself, The Feathers is a celebration of hospitality, imagination, and detail, offering a sense of discovery in every bite.

The Six Bells Countryside Inn
Tucked into the heart of Rosendale, NY, The Six Bells Countryside Inn is a singular hospitality experience that blends elevated whimsy with deep nostalgia. Conceived by Audrey Gelman—founder of the beloved homewares store by the same name in Brooklyn—the 11-room inn reimagines a 175-year-old boarding house as a fictional countryside escape brought to life. Every inch of the inn is immersed in the folklore of “Barrow’s Green,” a make-believe village that serves as both muse and design framework. From hand-painted murals and Scandinavian box beds to custom textiles and antiques sourced across the globe, each guest room tells a unique story, inviting guests to both dream and discover. With interiors designed by Adam Greco of GrecoDeco, the aesthetic is playful, richly layered, and deeply personal—offering not just accommodation, but a transportive stay.
At the center of the inn’s communal life is The Feathers, an 18-table tavern where seasonal menus and European-style breakfasts reflect a reverence for local produce and comfort cuisine. Nearly everything within the inn, from Sabre silverware to custom beds, is shoppable, blurring the line between home and hotel. The property also includes a small retail storefront, immersive seasonal programming like murder mysteries and creative workshops, and ample outdoor space—including a future chicken coop and fire pits. Ideal for families, romantics, and design lovers alike, The Six Bells Countryside Inn is less a retreat from the world than an invitation to step into a more imaginative version of it—one filled with humor, heart, and handcrafted beauty.
