Laurel Bank Farm Catskills

A farm is not a farm without animals...and there is no shortage of them (or our love for them) here, either.

The big project known as the Cottage started out as a two car garage that is about to become the sweetest little fishing lodge on the West Branch. On schedule to be ready for the 2020 fishing season, the Cottage will feature two first floor bedrooms, two first floor full bathrooms (one with outdoor access via a digital lock), a galley kitchen, living room and front porch overlooking the river. The Cottage also features a loft with a row of twin beds. (I know, I know... we can't wait, either!) Check back for updated photos!

We lovingly restored this big old farm house with a focus on warmth and openness to entertain guests. There are a number of sleeping rooms upstairs and a full bath on each of two levels.

We invite our guests to spend time on our bench overlooking the West Branch. Whether alone or with a friend, it's got all the makings of "time well spent." It's truly "front row seats" for thinking, talking, laughing, and seeing fisherman, eagles, rising fish... We hope you will take some photos from your "Time on the Bench" too.

The skies have been so beautiful lately. Happy 4th of July weekend, everyone.

The West Branch Classic Fly Festival has been postponed until Labor Day Weekend, hopeful that we will receive clearance from our State and local governments to host an event of this size. We will post updates again later in the summer.

We are happy to announce that our new web site is up and running! When you are ready to plan your next fly fishing trip, we hope you will consider staying here...right on the West Branch of the famed Delaware - complete with private access! While we are all self-quarantining, you can safely visit us at www.laurelbankfarm.com.

Hi everyone! We wanted to let you know that sadly we must postpone the Classic Fly Festival given the Covid-19 pandemic. Once we receive clearance from State and Local authorities, we'll announce the new dates. Stay well. We are looking forward to seeing you!

We hope this post finds you well and that April brings better news to the world. We don't know about you, but we are SOOOOO ready for fishing season!
