Welcome to Jeffersonville

I have been writing about various places to visit in The Catskills and today I will share a bit about Jeffersonville. It is a small village in the western part of Sullivan County, approximately 2 1/2 hours drive from NYC. The year round population is approximately 500, which isn't much different than it was back in 1898. Funny but true!

The good news is that there are a good amount of weekend home owners and visitors who flock to the area regularly.  Jeffersonville's Main Street is a sweet mix of restaurants and small shops among local businesses. Whether you are looking for locally made or repurposed items, there are shop keepers for every style and taste.


  • The Rustic Cottage is an interesting mix of new and old finds for the home. A rich blend of woods that resemble the wilderness and sometimes include taxidermy.  They offer that rustic cabin sensibility that only a rural setting could pull off.

  • Samba Cafe is not just a place to dine, but is also an Inn.  The style here is kitsch all the way! Open for lunch and dinner, Thursday through Sunday, you will find a nice assortment of country comfort foods. 


  • Jeffersonian Bed and Breakfast, a charming historic house, was built in 1922. It is conveniently located within walking distance of Main Street restaurants and shops, and offers easy access to nearby hikes and biking paths, a dip in the Delaware River or picnic riverside.

Jeffersonville is another wonderful stop on an excursion to The Catskills. Even if you don't chose to stay overnight, a lovely meal and evening of chamber music under the stars will delight you!

  1. Two years ago we spent an extended weekend in Jeffersonville at a friend's house, and drove into Calicoon for the market. Fantastic! We picked up a couple of fresh rainbow trout (the seller filleted them for us) and some fresh corn and local wine and went back to Jeffersonville to barbecue. The area is great for antiquing, just wanted to add that!

    1. Yay! I agree, there is so much going on between these small hamlets. The farmers market in Callicoon is wonderful. So happy to hear you had a wonderful time.
