Once a favorite haunt of Babe Ruth—now it can be yours.

The inn was a favorite haunt of Babe Ruth, especially later in his life when he maintained a hunting cabin up the mountain. According to local legend, the Babe sometimes slept in Room 9 when he couldn’t make it back uphill. The bar still displays memorabilia in his honor, and baseball fans and historians occasionally stop in to touch the bar where he was known to linger.

Located in the Beautiful Hudson Valley

Nestled in the heart of Copake Falls, the inn is just a stone’s throw from the Harlem Valley Rail Trail, Taconic State Park, and Bash Bish Falls. It attracts a lively mix of locals, weekenders, hikers, campers, leaf peepers, and culture vultures drawn to the region’s natural beauty and cultural attractions.
