On a busy weekend (Garden Party) we were able to dine in the restaurant. The meal and service were fabulous - Congrats to Chef Lee and our waitress Lori. We started with appetizers and drinks on the patio and worked our way through dinner and dessert - from 6:00 to 10:30 pm. Absolutely do not have the words to describe... More

This was our 2nd stay at the American, and it was just as charming and wonderful as the first. Heidi, Doug, and Garth were very friendly and helpful, and went out of their way to make sure all guests felt like family. The food in the restaurant was top quality (and again, amazingly large portions of great seafood), and the... More

Tasteful cozy rooms, delicious breakfast included in stay, warm environs, and wonderful conversation with the staff. Doug, Garth, George, Heidi and the amazing chef Lee shepherd a wonderful stay for the night or weekend. The dining room pumps out amazing dining experiences every time I visit. This was the perfect place for an intimate unfussy wedding ceremony and reception. Off... More

Having just returned from a remarkable 2 night stay, we can't say enough about how wonderful it was. The hotel features well appointed rooms that have all of the modern amenities, while maintaining a historic charm. The owners, Doug and Garth are the perfect hosts, and their attention to detail, and great warmth make you feel immediately at home. We... More

This is a very old hotel that was saved from oblivion in a small resort town that is also being saved from the same fate. The rooms are small, old fashioned, but comfortable. The service is friendly and accommodating, but the food is to DIE for! To make it really worthwhile, their room/dinner/breakfast package is pretty reasonable, as dinners are... More

My wife and I were lost last year, traveling from Balston Spa (my brother-in-law's home) to Ithaca (our home) and fell upon the sleepy village of Sharon Springs. We were mesmerized by the simple beauty of this historic town that, while ghostly in presence as a place seemingly lost long ago and forgotten, it was somehow alive in spirit, graciousness,... More

My husband and I had great time in Sharon Springs staying at the American Hotel. I still think about the amazing dinner we had there, it was one of the best I've ever had. Garth and Doug were such great hosts and really made us feel at home. We look forward to going back sometime soon for another stay.

We added a two night stay at the American Hotel to our Fall exploration of the lower Hudson Valley because we are fans of the Fabulous Beekman Boys. It turned out to be the cherry on the top of our trip. We took the scenic route driving up through the Catskills from the Newburgh, NY area. After checking in we... More

Nestled in the otherwise sleepy town of Sharon Springs, the American Hotel sparkles like a jewel in the bountiful farmland of central New York. The three-story-structure was rescued over a decade ago, lovingly restored and renovated into a nine-room hotel that ends up feeling more like a dear friend’s expansive home by the time one’s stay is over. Heidi had... More
