Come and relax in our cozy and casual country home before hitting the trails and water ways! The leaves are nearly peak now and hiking is at its most beautiful right here in Minerva. We are nestled in the lovely foothills of the Adirondacks in lower Essex County, perfect for families looking for little adventures. Originally used as a boarding house for the local Tannery in 1847, O'Connor's B&B offers a relaxed family atmosphere at an affordable package price. Children are expected and welcome, but do need to be supervised. We have three of our own ages 5, 8 & 11 and they love to make new friends. Sorry we cannot accommodate pets, as our resident felines would object.

Continental Breakfast including breads, muffins, coffee, tea, juice, cereal and fresh fruit.


AMENITIES

Ceiling fans, small guest refrigerator, terrific parking (trailers too!) TV/VCR down stairs.

A WHOLE LOT OF HISTORY
FOR A LITTLE ADIRONDACK TOWN...

Located at the intersection of Donnelly Road, Trout Brook and County Route 29, at one time called Johnny Cake Corner, is O'Connor's Bed and Breakfast. In 1847 the boarding houses, land for the tannery, and an office building were purchased from Edward Talbot and operated by Levi Olmsted. In 1871, all the buildings and property of the tanning business were sold to Patrick O'Connor. There is a gap in our information on the house until 1901 when Henry and Maria Losee sold the 1.5 acres with the house, barn and outbuilding to Phoebe Ann McCoy for 712.50. The barn and an icehouse are still standing. **


OUR GUEST ROOMS

We have three guest rooms: The Vanderburg Room offers a queen size, four post bed; The Blue room, offers two twins with space for your port-a-crib; and The Fairview Room offers a short posted Full size bed and a wonderful sunrise view. All guest rooms share one guest bath. Furnished with old-fashioned floral wallpapers and antiques, it takes advantage of the beautiful woodwork and floors and the rich staircase. The bedroom doors still have brass numbers and glass transoms. The house is wood framed clapboard Victorian/Farmhouse style with a wrap around porch, Queen Anne fashioned balustrades, spool brackets, and turned posts. The entrance door has authentic frosted patterned glass, fishscaled gables and arched attic windows. ** Information from the Minerva Historical Society, Olmstedville, NY.
