Nestled in the left kidney of New York’s Catskill Mountains, the Queen of the Catskills Bed and Breakfast is a stark reminder that there is more to New York than art, culture, and fine dining. Hosts Steve and Sheila are just a touch more eager than necessary to greet guests upon arrival. The sterile design and Walmart decor underwhelms guests to the point of moderate disorientation. This kidney stone of the Empire State offers guest coffee service compliments of a red Keurig likely purchased at a nearby estate sale. Coffee service includes one communal stirring spoon. A large coffee urn dispenses a tea drinker’s hot water, which is also frequently used to refill the Keurig. Window-unit air conditioners provide a chilling daytime experience and nothing but forced air during humid summer nights. Guests fortunate enough to score the only room with a private bath will find towels conveniently placed across the hall. Hand towels and bathmats, though, are not counted among the coveted amenities. Parking is free, convenient, and smack in front of the house with two tires on the grass. Upon each return, be prepared to report to Steve about everything you did. Always lurking around some sparsely decorated corner, he displays an absurd interest in the daily activities of guests. A spotty Wi-Fi network creatively named “Linksys” recalls fond memories of the days of dial-up modems. This short-term mountain abode is the perfect New York getaway. Quickly and quietly, get away.

While visiting our friends in Stamford to see plays at The Michael Kudish Natural History Preserve, we stayed at The Queen of the Catskills. We were warmly welcomed by Flerida and Michael into their home. Our room was beautifully appointed, and we felt comfortable immediately. It was great to stay in such an historic building and to know it is being lovingly cared for. Breakfast was beyond delicious. As soon as I know the dates for next year's performance of Page to Stage at the Preserve, I will make our reservations. Can't wait to stay there again.

Such a friendly welcome from Michael. Cooked us breakfast each morning which was excellent. The house is old, so a bit creaky but our room was comfortable.

Definitely a good place to stay. The staff was attentive and polite.

A nice older home converted to a bed and breakfast. Shared bathroom could have been an issue, but we were the only guests that evening. Had a nice morning breakfast. The owners were very nice.

Cozy and relaxing

Beautiful, quiet setting in a quaint town. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming. Delicious, freshly cooked breakfast. Killer omelet. :-)

Fantastic. Breakfast omelette was absolutely spot-on!

We had an amazing time! It was so relaxing. The fireplace, the ambiance was exactly what we were looking for. Flerida and Mike were excellent kind hosts. Her cooking was great!

It was a great experience. The staff was very friendly. The place very clean. The breakfast was delicious. Florida’ s French toasts was so delicious.

We were treated graciously. Plenty of towels, bed was comfy, and breakfast was delicious. The architecture of the old house is beautiful: stain-glassed windows, ornate columns, big circular patios looking out on a huge lawn with a gazebo.

A little gem in the middle of nowhere. What a great find for a halfway stop on our way from New Hampshire to Niagara Falls. The owners went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. The made-to-order breakfast was the topper. Wish we could have stayed longer. A definite RECOMMEND.

Friendly

We were invited to each select our own breakfast and it was individually cooked/prepared in a most delicious way!

This was my first B&B experience and the owners have set the bar incredibly high! The owners were more than accommodating. Location was a perfect place to get away. Loved it! Would go again and would recommend to friends.

Owners are fantastic. Great location, beautiful home, wonderful breakfast and environment. Lovely B&B

This lovely B&B is run by a friendly and generous couple who want to make your stay fun and comfortable. They went out of their way to look up local wineries and restaurants for us. The room was pretty, the place was clean, and breakfast was delicious! We plan a return trip!

Stately house converted to a lovely B&B. Warm reception, great queen size bed real comfortable. Wonderful breakfast.

The home was lovely and the breakfast that was included was simply AMAZING!!!!

The setting was lovely with open grounds and a pond nearby. Maria makes a great omelette too!

The house needs a lot of work, is sparsely furnished and needs a good cleaning. The indication that this bed-and-breakfast is anywhere near the Baseball Hall of Fame is also false.

Stayed overnight while visiting the New York Safety Track. Arrived early evening on a Sunday and the hosts were waiting to greet me. They hosts were very friendly and the breakfast the next morning was excellent. Will definitely stay there next time I'm in the area.

My husband and my son stayed here for one night and they were more than satisfied. The foyer and the room were gorgeous. It was clean and there was a delicious breakfast ready in the morning.

Flerida and Mike were great hosts at this B&B. Very friendly and made us feel right at home. Flerida's suggestions for lunch and dinner were spot on. The grounds were well manicured and picturesque. The room was comfortable and clean. The bathroom was huge with a tub and walk-in shower. This B&B is located in a quaint suburban town. The freshly prepared breakfast was outstanding. This is definitely a place to return to again.

the people that work here are great-shared bathroom is kind of creepy for ladies

Michael and Flerida were wonderful hosts. I was in town for a stressful business meeting nearby, and they helped in every possible way. The town of Oneonta is very cute, and the land on which the Colonial B and B is situated is beautifully maintained. I stayed in the Green Room, beautiful queen sized bed, blackout curtains, A/C, cable TV (though I never needed to turn it on), fluffy towels, and a quiet, relaxed atmosphere. I could be social when I wanted and quiet when I needed to be. And Flerida's cooking was delightful, I had omelets with different ingredients of my choice both mornings. I highly recommend the Colonial B and B. My stay was perfect.

The room was clean and comfortable and the hostess was friendly and accommodating.
