Book Village Inn & Bar

The Book Village Inn & Bar is a unique lodging experience celebrating literary heritage amidst the scenic Catskills nestled in Hobart, NY. This boutique inn resides in a meticulously restored 1890s home and features five individually styled rooms. Each room pays homage to iconic literary figures, offering guests a choice between spaces such as the Hemingway Room, accentuated by its deep hues and carved writing desk, or the florally romantic Austen Room, ideal for unwinding with a classic read. The atmosphere of this historic inn blends vintage charm with modern comfort, adding elements like Roku TVs and Nespresso machines for a precise balance between nostalgia and contemporary convenience.

Positioned in the heart of Hobart, known fondly as 'Book Village,' the inn complements the town's literary ambiance. With more bookstores per capita than anywhere else in the country, Hobart attracts book lovers and curious tourists alike, looking to wander through shops such as Liberty Rock Books, which houses over 50,000 volumes of literature. This makes the inn a perfect stop for bibliophiles, offering both cozy quarters and a cultural escape all within walking distance on Main Street.

Book Village Inn & Bar stands out for its literary theme and intimate size, accommodating those seeking a thoughtful getaway. More than just rooms, the inn offers a charming retreat space for small groups or private events, alongside the comforts of locally sourced refreshments and cocoa selections that encourage quiet contemplation or lively discussion. It also serves as a portal to local adventures, with nearby outdoor pursuits including hiking on the Catskill Scenic Trail or angling in the West Branch Delaware River.

Book Village Inn’s proximity to natural attractions and cultural secrets makes it a versatile choice for any season.
