The Stay

 Whether for a brief one night stay or multiple days at The DeBruce, plan on getting lost a bit and finding some unexpected moments to recharge yourself. Explore the trails, dip your toes in the river, try your hand at fly fishing, meet fellow guests around the fire, and ultimately, work up an appetite for the storied tasting menu. Be our guest, slow down and enjoy the moments.

There are 12 guest rooms across three floors, some with clawfoot bathtubs. Some rooms offer expansive views of the Willowemoc Valley and River and glimpses of the mountains providing trails for guests. Guest rooms feature straightforward, clean design details that aim to provide a comfortable backdrop for your stay.

The Rooms

All guest rooms offer a comfortable place to call home during your stay. A backdrop for your own experiences. A cozy bed with plush down duvet covers, Sferra Linens, en suite bathrooms, and Malin & Goetz bath amenities. Larger rooms offer sitting areas, some enjoy sweeping views of the valley on which the hotel is perched, while many also offer clawfoot tubs.

We are also pleased to extend an invitation for dogs to join for the stay. Nothing is better than 600 acres of land to explore, rivers and ponds to swim in and a team that loves to spoil our four-legged pups! Learn more about our dog-friendly accommodations here.

The Property

Whether making your way down the stairs to our cozy Club Room with its fire roaring, finding a hidden corner to tuck away with your book or walking the trails to the sounds of the river flowing by, there is a particularly special feeling of discovery at The DeBruce. The building has sat perched over the WIllowemoc Valley for the past 100 years, greeting guests, hosting meals and serving as a launching pad to explore the wild mountains and valley of this place. There is a sense of solitude and isolation that wonderfully creeps in. These physical qualities make it a place where you can at one instance be surrounded by the warmth of friendship and in the next find deep-rooted, self-indulgent, intimacy.

The restaurant and its kitchen are at the fulcrum of any stay at The DeBruce.  We think not just about each meal but how they connect and form a lasting memory. The Tasting Menu is an immersive dining experience where each courses of the progression helps to tell the story of our home and of our heritage.
