Bartlett House

like a monument frozen in time, bartlett house stands alone on an acre of land on iconic route 66. once surrounded by a cluster of buildings, it was a flourishing railroad hotel from 1870 to the mid-1900s, serving as the social center of the then industrial town of ghent, new york. if its walls could talk, they would tell tales of rowdy caucuses and lively parties. a national historic site, bartlett house has remained quiet for decades—until 2016. its communal spirit has been revived through high-quality food and high-quality company. a hub of creativity and companionship, the building now hosts a collaboration of masterminds—chefs, bakers, farmers—all dedicated to creating extraordinary experiences with the best of what the hudson valley has to offer. abuzz with the hum of a state-of-the-art kitchen and bakery, bartlett house café offers the most approachable and freshest fare around, from scrumptious soups, salads and sandwiches to mouthwatering skillet chicken and roasts. th
