First opened in 1895 as a trout fishing lodge called the Bonnie View Inn, the Inn was built during a "boom time" when inns and lodges were springing up across the region to accommodate city dwellers heading to the country. Many of these visitors were drawn to the area for the fishing, still a lure today.
The Inn has been in continuous operation as an inn since 1895, with the exception of intermittent seasonal closings and renovation periods.
In 1981, the Inn was purchased by Larry Rockefeller. Although it was in operation at the time of purchase, the Inn was considerably run-down. Today's Beaverkill Valley Inn is resplendent, the product of thoughtful restoration over-seen by Larry Rockefeller and the Inn's staff. It is the only country inn of its size, style and era still in operation in the Beaverkill region today.
