About The Yarra
Roscoe, New York • Western foothills of the Catskills
Nestled in Roscoe, NY, at the western foothills of the Catskill Mountains, The Yarra is a warm, inviting boutique inn—not a bed & breakfast—for those looking to escape into nature while enjoying exceptional food and wine. Minutes from the renowned Beaverkill and Willowemoc Rivers—prime fly-fishing destinations—we’re also close to local breweries, distilleries, and restaurants.
Our Story
Originally built in 1890 by the Baxter family, The Yarra has been thoughtfully renovated to blend historic charm with modern comfort. We offer four beautifully appointed rooms, each with a private bathroom. While we provide a light continental breakfast each morning, our focus extends far beyond the traditional “bed & breakfast” model.
Guests come for the privacy, the design, and the elevated culinary experiences—including our Garden & Larder Menu and signature Saturday Supper Clubs. Named after the Yarra River in Melbourne, Australia, The Yarra is inspired by owners Sonya and Paul’s travels and their love for small boutique inns. Our menus, created by cook and owner Sonya, reflect the vibrant Melbourne food scene—a fusion of global flavors shaped by its diverse culinary heritage.
We look forward to welcoming you and making your stay a memorable one.
