Nestled into the bucolic Catskill Mountains, is the town of Bovina. Green Pasture and brambly hills are dotted with the cloven animals that give the thriving agricultural community its name. Farm stands line the peaceful, winding roads that lead you to town center, where Main Street seems to be standing still in time.

That’s where you’ll find Brushland, with its screen doors propped, feeding hungry locals and welcoming weary travelers. Feeling far from removed from the excess of city life, Brushland embodies the simple life, with a romantic view from the porch in to the past.
