Stickett Inn is the coffee shop to visit in Barryville. It's a cozy and hip cafe space that goes from coffee shop to late night hangout. We visited for some coffees on a Saturday. Tasty iced latte, nice espresso. They brew 2Queens beans that I've tried before at other coffee shops in Sullivan County. If you're visiting Barryville and looking for a coffee, Stickett Inn is your spot. read more

They serve delicious coffee and baked goods most of the day and have two Queens beans for sale. I always stop by to get a cup when out riding my bike. The decor is very cute and there is an outdoor seating area. Plus they have rooms if you need to stay and I think it's also an ale/cider house. Can't speak for the spirits since I don't drink. Strictly caffeine. Defy check it out as they have the best coffee in the area. read more

Avoid at all costs! We arrived on a wintry evening at The Stickett Inn to find the steps up to the inn covered in ice and unshoveled. There were no handrails on the steps and ice was everywhere. It had stopped snowing earlier in the day, but nothing had been done. When we left at 11AM the next morning there had been more snow in the night, and all areas remained unshoveled. What little parking area there was had not been cleared at all. We were informed that the water was not drinkable by a printout in the room, but despite there being a small fridge, there was no water to be had anywhere in the room, nor was there any on site. For that matter no staff was available at all. We then discovered that there was NO heat in the bedroom! The temperature outside was in the single digits and we slept in our clothes and had all of our outerwear on top of us as there were no extra blankets, and only one single thin blanket on the bed. There was a small wall heater in the bathroom which we turned on, and a baseboard in the living room, but they did little to heat the freezing bedroom. We booked the most "luxurious" room because of a large steam shower, but there was no soap or shampoo in the shower and due to the room temperature we did not take a shower. We could not escape fast enough. It was a very expensive night of misery. Avoid at all costs. read more

I really wanted to love this place. I met the owner Roswell and he is very kind, as is the man who was bartending. The aesthetic of the inn is chic, but the cleanliness really left a lot to be desired. We ate at the bang bang bar which was very drafty, had boxes everywhere and less than mediocre food. The pictures I saw of the food online were nothing at all like what I was served. It was edible but not good. The nachos were covered in cheese sauce, the chicken taco was hefted with cold kraft shreds. They were out of pork. Perhaps all Covid related, but disappointing nonetheless. Cider wasn't bad. Very much enjoyed the hot tub. Definitely a highlight. Most of the 3 stars is for that. But the room. I stayed in the soak room specifically because I wanted a soaking tub. The room was large and cute, but I honestly couldn't wait to leave. It had a smell coming up from the bar making the room smell like spilled beer. The toilet certainly wasn't cleaned, the tub was stained and rusted, and most disturbingly, when I turned down the sheets there were BLOOD STAINS. I told the man in the bar about it and Roswell came up and apologized and changed our sheets and couldn't believe it because they use a linen service and have a wonderful cleaning team. I just assume this room was not cleaned between guests in some oversight, but really, that is not okay especially considering covid. We chose to escape the city for a night and change up our scenery somewhere safe for Valentine's day and we were pretty uspet. For over $200 for the room I'm pretty disappointed that all we got was an apology and a change of sheets. They could have at least offered us a coffee in the morning. read more

Highly recommend The Stickett Inn for a weekend motorcycle getaway. it was the balance of down home and elevated. We stayed in "Steam," and took full advantage of the steam shower and in room tub. For spa relaxation this is the room to choose. Truly was the perfect retreat after a day of adventuring. Make sure you get ciders and shrimp nachos across the street. Staff is kind, accommodating and charming. For my gluten free folks, make sure you get a GF bagel at the CupBearer in the morning. read more

Booked the entire place for a wedding weekend in Barryville. Loved the feel and layout of this place. The decor left a lot to be desired, did not bother me but other members of the party seem a bit put off. Hot tub was excellent after a long weekend of running around. Worth a stay if you will be in the area. read more

UPDATE FROM JOHNNY'S RESPONSE (since removed by Johnny as he has now created a "Gus" to insult us instead of him): Yelp is a forum to write reviews of businesses and how they treat customers. This is what I've done. Johnny initially commented on my review by continuing to insult me. He has since removed the review, begged us to take down our review, and since we haven't, created a "Gus" to call us crazy and insult us. I think that says it all. Oops, never mind, Johnny put up another comment riddled with insults since I continue to refuse to remove my review. Makes for an interesting read! --------------- There is a reason that they call this place the "Stickett Inn", its because they are going to stickett to you. I just got married in Eldred, NY, and dealing with Johnny and Roswell (the owners of the Inn) was the worst decision I made during my wedding and the only miserable part. I didn't even stay at the Stickett, I referred friends, literally helping the Stickett get customers and make money, and they treated me and my now husband with disrespect from beginning to end. I initially reached out to reserve rooms for my wedding guests. I should have known then what unprofessionals they are. It took awhile for them to respond, my wedding venue had to actually contact them in order for them to return my calls and emails. Then, once I paid a deposit of almost $2000 to reserve rooms for my guests, they never returned my friends calls for rooms. I had to reach out to them repeatedly. They even double booked rooms for one of my guests which I had to clear up (of note, they only have five rooms, wouldn't seem difficult to manage reservations). I ended up just asking for our deposit back after only three of their five rooms were booked because it was too much work on my end to communicate with Johnny and Roswell. They then took weeks to return our deposit. Initially refusing. We had to contemplate small claims court to bring an action against them while we were getting married. This was months before I got married. I then had no contact with Johnny and Roswell again until the day before my wedding. I received a call from Johnny and when I answered my cellphone he was belligerent, yelling at me and telling me I was a monster and the worst person. And that he hated my guests. I had no idea what he was talking about as I was getting ready for my rehearsal dinner. I repeatedly asked him to calm down and explain what was going on. My friends had only booked three of their five rooms and there were several other weddings occurring in the area. After I hung up on him because my blood pressure was racing from some man yelling at me, he texted me about my guest "Audrey" who had canceled one night at their Inn. I then explained to Johnny over text that I don't know an Audrey or have a wedding guest by the name of Audrey. He continued to berate and threaten over texts, and said he was going to contact all my wedding vendors the night before my wedding in an attempt to I guess blacklist me and my husband, and that he was going to illegally charge my credit card with this Audrey person's cancellation. See attached photos of the texts. I spoke to my few friends who were staying at the Stickett and apparently right before he called me, he called one of my friends thinking she was me and berated her and her husband as well about this Audrey. He told them that he hated weddings and was going to "burn down his Inn". Quite outrageous conduct in reaction to someone canceling a night at an Inn. After these Johnny episodes, my friends who were staying at the Stickett spoke to Roswell who they told me was visibly shaken. However, he defended Johnny by saying he was just "Italian" and stressed at a fashion show in the City. Of course, this is beyond offensive, for Italians and for me. I texted Roswell to tell him what happened and say that if Johnny threatened me again, I would call the cops. To date, I have not received an apology from either. This is how these people treat their customers. As you will see in the texts, Johnny said I should go ahead and write a review about their horrible conduct. Thanks Johnny for the permission. Do yourself a favor, book at Ecce, the owners are lovely and treated my guests like actual customers. Or the Catskill Mountain resort, unfortunately that hotel was booked for another wedding when I was getting married. Or refer your friends to the countless Airbnbs in the area. According to all the vendors I spoke with after dealing with Johnny and Roswell, they are notorious for disrespecting their guests. I would also urge others to look at Johnny's responses to other criticisms posted in reviews. On TripAdvisor he called a woman "basic" and "budget". Get it together. Treat customers with respect. Appreciate where your money comes from. Learn from your mistakes. Control your temper. read more

Very poor customer service. It was nearly impossible to get in touch with the owners. Would have to send multiple emails and texts to get a reply. Had problems with our stay and were met with a lot of excuses by the owners. Save yourself the headache of dealing with Johnny and stay somewhere else. read more

We visited for 3 days & the rooms were spacious & clean. There is plenty to do & see. John & Roswell were great hosts & steered us to the sights to see & how to get there. The little bar in front where you can get your coffee & drinks was fun & the coffee mocha was great. Would we go back to Stickett Inn? The answer is yes. Roswell gave us the history of the Stickett Inn & we look forward to hearing more. read more

The Stickett Inn is the PLACE to go! Each room has a theme and the steam shower in my room made the entire trip worth it just for that. What I love is that you can get a bangin' breakfast burrito in the morning or a drink in the evening at the bar on the property. Plus, the views of the Delaware River are great. I brought my coffee to the river and had a peaceful start to my day. Would def come back! read more

Great getaway from NYC! Johnny, Roswell & Lamont were very friendly and accommodating. The room was spacious and we loved the modern/ rustic charm of the place! The Bang Bang Bar was hopping when we went for dinner (Pinks cantina tacos) & drinks(the wine selection was great and the Stickett Inn signature cider was very nice too). Definitely recommend Stickett Inn for a weekend away from the hectic city life or even just to stop in for a bite to eat and a drink if you're passing through. read more

After an already long day of set backs and exhaustion, our trailer lost a tire 3 hours into our road trip. After many phone calls with less than helpful AAA representatives, we finally got a tow for the trailer, but we stuck hours from home and even further from our destination. We called the Stickett Inn, in part because of proximity and part because of the name, and we were instantly put more at ease. We arrived and enjoyed some delicious drinks with the owners while our room was prepared. We were all in good spirits by the time we headed to bed. Accommodations were wonderful. The room was spacious with a big comfortable bed. We felt completely at home and had the most restful sleep we have had in weeks. We felt completely taken care of during our whole stay. The owners really went above and beyond and we truly appreciate it! We enjoyed our experience so much, we are planning to come back on purpose next time! read more

We always have a lovely time at the Stickett Inn. We come almost monthly and everyone who works there is so gracious and hospitable. There is a great sense of community in Barryville and no matter the weekend, there is always some event to attend. They can offer recommendations of several "going-on" and know all the best restaurants and activities. We've stayed in each of the five spaces and they all offer something unique from one another, it's hard to choose a favorite. We'd like to thank Johnny and Roswell for creating this unique and fun place for all to enjoy. read more

This place kicks ass. Awesome mexican food (love the burrito), great cider, and amazing staff.

Popped in for a Mexican pizza and a cider. The room assaults you with delicious smells off the bat, the cocktails enhance the ambience, and the food seals the deal. Grab a couple of ciders on your way out--they pack a punch without giving you the diabetes. read more

We adored this place. Super cute, super clean, and super quirky. Everything was immaculate and so much fun to look around at. Our beds were extremely comfortable and we had no issue feeling right at home. Roswell was a fantastic host from booking to check out. The four of us will 100% return for hopefully a longer stay at the Stickett Inn. read more

If you're visiting Sullivan County or thinking about a weekend upstate, the Stickett Inn is an absolute MUST! The rooms are beautifully designed and well appointed, bed was super comfy, loved the spacious shower and soak tub, great bath products, and cozy sitting area (wine fridge? yes please!). The Bang Bang Bar / gift shop at the Inn offers a well curated assortment of local treats and cool products, plus good company ... we had a lot of fun hanging out there and drinking with a very eclectic mix of local folks and other guests! They serve Intelligentsia coffee (my favorite!), fabulous cocktails, Stickett Inn's very own cider (I'm normally a wine gal but I couldn't get enough of this heavenly brew), and deliciously fresh food (get the nachos, trust me). John and Roswell are such kind, funny, and gracious hosts. We didn't end up leaving the compound for the entire weekend, it was great. I suspect the Stickett Inn is even more charming in the autumn when the leaves start to change ... I cannot wait to come back! read more

Unfortunate circumstances led us to Barryville, NY as I was searching for a place closest to Rasmussen Harrison funeral home. To my delight I found the Stickett Inn, only .2 miles away. I loved the idea of the themed rooms and it looked like such a cozy setting. Very charming inviting place, equipped with hammocks on the front porch and a landline telephone. We passed the fire pit, outdoor back seating, cottage, and hot tub on our way up the spiraled staircase to our room "EAT". It was a very hot day and the AC was on and worked well. The hosts were gracious enough to leave flowers and card. WiFi worked well and the room was clean and spacious equipped with a full kitchen. There is a gas station and River market right across the street. We also checked out their Bang Bang shop and the hard ciders were delicious. Cute Stickett Inn merchandise available for purchase as well. The Sticket Inn made a tough time more comfortable. I'd love to stay here in the Fall under better circumstances. read more

I recommend that you steer clear of the Stickett Inn. I found the proprietor to be unprofessional, dishonest, and spiteful. Here's the evidence: I had to cancel a 3-night reservation at the Stickett Inn because of a sudden scheduling conflict, and I only had a few days to do it before losing the $200 deposit that the Inn had already collected. I was shocked to discover that there's no way to cancel reservations on the Inn's website, so I tried calling. For two full days no one answered the phone! Also, the voicemail box was full, so I couldn't even leave a message. (I don't know how anyone can run an inn this way.) Next I tried emailing, but again, no response, and the refund deadline was rapidly approaching. At the end of the third day of failing to reach the Inn via phone, email, and even Facebook messenger, my girlfriend cleverly started calling other inns in Barryville, assuming that some of the innkeepers might know each other. Neither she nor I have ever had to work so hard to cancel a reservation. It cost each of us a great deal of time and aggravation. After contacting nearly half a dozen businesses in Barryville, one of them kindly gave us the personal cell number of the Stickett Inn's owner, whom we texted right away. He was blasé, at best. Without even acknowledging the tremendous inconvenience he had caused, much less apologizing for it, he responded to my refund request by sending me a copy of my original reservation but with the amount zeroed out. That's neither a refund nor even an acknowledgement of cancellation. The document suggested, in fact, that my 3-night stay was still on the books and was going to be free of charge. Several more days passed without a refund. Long story short, the innkeeper spent the next WEEK AND A HALF pretending he had submitted my refund while claiming that it "wasn't being processed" for one reason or another. First he blamed his credit company, then his bank, and when I finally called his bluff and sent him a Venmo link, he simply ghosted me. To get my refund, I had to issue him an ultimatum: "Vemno my refund by 5:00 pm Saturday, or I'll report you to my credit company and fill the Internet with negative reviews." In textbook passive-aggressive fashion, he responded at 4:59 pm and sent the refund five minutes later. The Stickett Inn certainly has an amusing name and marketing scheme, but if you're more interested in professionalism, competence, and honesty than you are in titillating puns, better (and less expensive) options abound in and around Barryville. read more

The Stickett Inn was and will continue to be one of the best vacation lodging experiences of my life. I travel extensively, and was pleased to find such a modern, clean, well-appointed inn in the small town of Barryville. We stayed in the SOAK room, and the rooms are rustic and very clean; outfitted with amazing current amenities (wine chilling refrigerator, giant washtub bathtub, beautiful handmade sheet sets, big thick towels, etc) that make a traveler not want to leave. Grounds are clean and well manicured. I'm a sucker for climbing clematis and they're everywhere! The Inn location is idyllic. Nestled on a hillside in the woods overlooking a bend in the Delaware River. Gorgeous. The hot tub outside was a surprise that was very welcome! The owners were so incredibly accommodating, we were a bit taken aback! We had a late night check in, which they made no fuss about, also the next day they supplied us with a list of restaurants/activities that were perfectly suited to our needs and wants and went so far as to take us to a friend's private lake for a dip, AND show us a few local watering holes that were almost indescribable and fun. (One of the bars had an oldie tymie bowling alley!!!) It was like visiting very good friends. On our last day they showed us to an idyllic river swimming hole and even let us borrow shoes for the slippery rocks, but took care that we had private time for ourselves. One of the happiest days of the summer for me! I hear they are opening a pressed juice stand and gift shop on the property. I'm pumped to see it. Hands down, THE best experience I've ever had at a hotel, motel, or B&B, otherwise I would not have taken the time to write this review. I will be back often and happily. The owners are thoughtful and charming, and took great care to ensure us a great stay. Thanks, guys!! We cannot wait to come back! read more

I can't even begin to tell you how much I absolutely adore the Stickett Inn! I have stayed now four times and I always look forward to going back. I stayed this past weekend in the Steam accommodation with my boyfriend and we had the best time! The room is spacious and very well decorated. The bed is super comfortable... I haven't slept that well in ages! Johnny and Roswell (the owners) are seriously the best and are willing to help with anything you need! The little shop they have is filled with amazing stuff (we ended up buying some t-shirts and a hoodie!) and really delicious food and coffee. Five stars well deserved, I can't wait until my next visit! read more

WARNING TO ALL: DO NOT BOOK AT THIS PLACE. I recently bought a Groupon for this inn because although it had very few reviews on Yelp and Tripadvisor, all the reviews were positive. The first thing that was annoying was that you have to communicate with them through email. Out of the six times I've called them, they have only picked up once. I scheduled the date I wanted and gave my groupon code and credit card number. However, when I tried to confirm my room the next day, I didn't get a response. Since then, I've emailed another time. Called twice, left a voicemail and still no response. My reservation was supposed to be for last Saturday. I had to cancel my trip. Even groupon is unable to get in contact with them so I can't even get a refund. RIDICULOUS. read more

My husband & I had an early dinner in the area and didn't feel like going home yet. I remembered their ad in the River Reporter about Monday night specials. We're full time residents and just stepped into the Bang Bang Bar for the first time on a Monday evening. Loved it! The place was busy. We were treated like friends from the moment we stepped inside. Their hospitality was overflowing. The Bang Bang Bar has the coolest vibe! We ordered a signature cocktail and a Manhattan. Both drinks were fabulous. Everyone behind the counter just seemed to really love doing what they do and loved being there. Great conversations happening across the bar and the tables. We feel incredibly lucky to have the caliber of quality and service so close in this one place! Thanks for turning an ordinary Monday night into anything but ordinary! We'll be back soon! read more

It's annoying to need to spend the time to write this, but seeing as one of the owners messed up horrifically and now days later has yet to apologize and is in the comments here continuing to call my wife names, I kind of have to. Short version - my wife and I block booked all 5 rooms for guests about six months before our wedding. Over the following few weeks, while guests reserved rooms at other nearby hotels and B&Bs without issue, every person who tried to book at the Stickett ended up getting in touch with us to say they weren't getting any response from the Stickett via phone or email and to ask us what they should do to get a room there. We did our best to coordinate with them for a while and 3 of the 5 rooms were booked after a few weeks. But it was like pulling teeth and we had a million other things to plan, so we asked the Stickett to return our deposit and release the last 2 rooms from our reservation. They didn't love it, but after some back and forth they eventually did so. If that's the end of it, then there is no review to write here. A small B&B wasn't very responsive to guests trying to book for our wedding, so we stopped advertising it to our guests. Not exactly a barn-burner. Sadly, that wasn't the end of the story. Fast forward a few months to the day before our wedding. My wife and I are at the venue setting up decorations and getting ready for our rehearsal, when out of the blue she gets a call from one of the the Stickett's owners - Johnny. Johnny, a pas de deux of incompetence and anger management issues, launches into a wild, out of control rant. Apparently someone named Audrey, known to neither of us and not in any way a part of our wedding, had cancelled a night of her unrelated reservation at the Stickett. Johnny had decided that the correct response was to rant insanely at my wife. She repeatedly asked him to calm down and explain what he was talking about because it didn't make any sense, but he was uninterested in doing so. Eventually she hung up the phone and was then peppered with moronic threatening text messages. In an utterly bizarre twist, Johnny followed that performance with a similar phone call to a completely different guest at our wedding who was staying at his Inn. Why? Who knows. I'm sure Johnny will reply with something thoughtful and appropriate to clear it all up. I'm just going to hazard a guess that, "Oops, that was my mistake. I'm sorry." will not be a part of it. read more

Update: that's right. I finally agree with the owner's response. There is no way to make this right and he should be sorry- being viciously insulted within minutes of checking in kinda made my whole vacation less enjoyable. Certainly this latest "best of luck" message is no way to show genuine regret for the words that were and continue to be used to describe me publicly. This review is intended to share a travel experience with the users of this site not anything else. I've said nothing personal about the proprietors only how they conduct business. This is not the first review like this that this business has received. I just wish that I had read these reviews BEFORE I stayed here. If I was offered a "refund" to "take my review down", well everyone can make their own judgements read more

My husband and I had the PLEASURE of staying at the Stickett Inn, in Barryville over Memorial Day Weekend and we couldn't have been happier! Our room was gorgeous. Clean, modern, charming and sooooo cozy! The garden out the back was super cute, with great light, stunning trees and featuring a large hot tub which we took great pleasure soaking in. We warmed up by the fire in the back which was not only relaxing but extremely romantic. Barryville has many things to see and do, our favorite was rafting with our cooler so we could stop off and have a picnic! But the reason I'm giving the Stickett Inn a 5 star rating is because the owners went above and beyond. Johnny and Roswell were unbelievably accommodating. Warm, friendly and knew everything about the area and where to go. Their little bar and coffee shop out the front was our favorite place to hang out with delicious drinks and beautiful staff. They even had Pinks tacos down from New York which were amazing! Loved this place so much and look forward to returning very soon! You must visit. read more

Absolutely love the Stickett Inn and owners Johnny and Raswell. The accommodations are wonderful, food delicious and great cider and drinks. Have stayed many times and not a worry, ever! Come and enjoy this beautiful gem located 2 hours outside of NYC read more

I just got back from a few days with my boyfriend at the Stickett Inn, and we loved it. It was charming and stylish, yet so cozy, and the rooms were absolutely immaculate and so spacious! Perfect mix of country charm with modern amenities (great A/C unit and flat screen TVs in both the "living room" area and bedroom). The backyard was fantastic too! Scattered with smartly placed furniture, a hot tub, and a fire pit, at night when we got home from dinner, the pathways were scattered with adorable lanterns lighting the way. Such a nice surprise! All the subtle touches the owners put into this place, from the cow dairy cup by the coffee bar, to the hammocks on the front porch, added to the experience. It rained the whole time we were there, which was unfortunately, but watching the storm roll in though from the hammocks on the front porch was very cool. read more

I reviewed this place a few years ago and was THREATENED BY THE OWNERS online. I took down the review cause it contained personal info about them but I will say this, DO NOT WASTE UR TIME HERE! All kindsa cabins and spots like this along the Delaware River to hang ur heads at. Our hosts(the owners) showed up a day late, and were completely unapologetic about not giving us codes or internet passwords or ANY INFO UPON CHECK IN. There is NO PHONE SERVICE so if they aren't there to receive u - YOU ARE FUCKED!!! Save $$ go somewhere else and stay away from these gay bullies! read more

Stopped in for a glass of wine it was it was so cold had to keep coat on Bartender was great Went home dinner because it was so cold. Menu looked ok read more

Stayed here for a night in the Eat room and we loved it. It's so quiet and quaint, a small town in New York that was a 4 hour ride from Baltimore. It was so worth it. The room was amazing, the view of the Delaware river from our room was spectacular! We ate at local diners and bars. The food and drink prices were good. Because of the weather, we couldn't take advantage of water activities or spend too much time outdoors. We will definitely be making another trip back. I can go on and on about the wonderful things about this inn. The only complaints I have was the lack of cellular services high in sure they can't control. They did have a land line we could use. For some reason, we had so many lady bugs flying around our room. Other than that, the Stickitt Inn was a great place and I highly recommend it. read more

I have stayed at the Stickett Inn multiple times since its opened, as have my family members. The owners, Johnny and Roswell are fantastic--took care of anything I needed and have created such a lovely vibe at the bar/cafe! You can tell everyone in the area loves them and the space because its *the* hangout. The food and drinks rival those I pay twice as much for in NYC. The grounds are amazing, too--do not skip the beautiful hot tub out back.The rooms are so, so spacious and perfectly appointed. The beds are so comfortable, I've had some of the best sleeps of my life in them. I recommend this place without reservation. read more

I stayed here last weekend as I was a guest at a local wedding. The room was fine- lacked basic items like hooks, a place to put anything down and lights that worked and had a black paper plate taped to the side of the wall to cover a vent... but I would be willing to look past all of that if one of the proprietor's (Johnny) had a decent bone in his body; here's what happened when we stayed at the Stickett: I had a very difficult time getting in touch with the Inn to even book a room (btw, the bride and groom were promoting this inn as an ideal place to stay and had already put down nearly 2k to reserve rooms for their special weekend) but it took numerous voicemails, 6 emails and the bride to call and email for them to even contact me to take my credit card. Eventually, after about a week I had the room booked. Once we arrived, we had a pleasant interaction with Roswell (an owner ) at the Bang Bang bar/ office and went off to our rooms. Within minutes insanity ensued. Johnny, the other owner, had incorrectly called an incoming guests, believing it was the bride's number (organization, anyone?!?!) and began BERATING them, saying that all of her guests were monsters and that her wedding made him want to burn his own Inn down. They informed an out of control Johnny that they were not the bride and he hung up. Then he went on to call the bride the day before her wedding and threaten the bride to get her local vendors to cancel on her and that he was going to charge her credit card , to which he had zero legal right to charge, roughly 500 dollars. The bride hung up and then was assaulted with numerous insane text messages. Apparently, some COMPLETELY UNRELATED person named 'Audrey' had booked the cottage on the property and had cancelled a night when it's a two night minimum. First off, how you can call ANYONE and tell them their guests (people you took about 1500 from this past weekend) are monsters and say that you will burn down your own Inn?!?!? That is insane to say if he doesn't mean it and threatening at the least if he does. Second, how can he call a bride the day before she gets married and threaten to ruin her wedding- the very type of event that pays his bills?!?!?! And third, AUDREY WAS NOT A GUEST OF THIS WEDDING- no one at this very intimate wedding of 45 had any idea who this person was. No one received an apology. Or an explanation. Or any type of comfort that Johnny would not come and actually burn down the inn while we were sleeping. It was a stressful stay. Needless to say, I felt uneasy to stay there. I can't tell you how the coffee or tacos or drinks were at the Bang Bang Bar, I refused to give them another dollar of my money after the threats. If there had been a chance to get our money back and stay somewhere else, we would have but we were clearly not dealing with a sane person and I didn't want to cause any more drama on the wedding weekend of a friend. There you have it. The location is great- stay close by in Barryville or Eldred but not here. You may be called a monster or threatened to be an arson victim- neither cool. I'm sure this review will draw the anger and insanity of Johnny- he insulted my friends new husband and insinuated that my friend was at fault which is insane and untrue - I hope he can learn to accept his role in the truth and get control of his clear anger problem. UPDATE Johnny emailed me ONE (Johnny claims that this is 'to no avail' just to show you the level of misleading words from him) time saying a lot of things that ranged from blaming Roswell for not apologizing 'impactfully', for him being defensive of his husband (I have not said one bad or harmful word toward his husband ever) but not an apology. His husband was lovely, the Inn was fine. HIS behavior is what's costing his business. Why are you insulting people who have the absolute right to write a review on a forum for travel experiences? Control yourself, Johnny. Don't wish me good luck in life after you throw insults at me- you are a transparent child. You should help your husband, your business and your reputation by growing up. And look up the word slander before you use it incorrectly on a public forum. read more

Just came back from a weekend at the Stickett Inn, and had a really great time. I was nervous at first because they only had one review on Yelp and no presence on TripAdvisor, but the press I'd read was good, so we gave it a shot. And I'm so glad we did! Johnny and Roswell were really sweet hosts. As soon as we arrived, they gave us a tour of the place and gave us some great recommendations for restaurants and activities nearby. They understand the fine balance of being available and accommodating and letting their guests have time to themselves. I could not have asked for more. Plus they have an adorable dog. The rooms are big and clean, the place is well located and easy to find, and the hot tub is a great way to spend the afternoon. Especially in a snow storm. Check these guys out, and have a great time! read more

Stickett Inn is perfect for any couple wanting to have a romantic and quaint getaway. The rooms are super cozy, the bed was extremely comfy and overall, the rooms are spacious and very well decorated. You will truly feel like you are on the chicest country getaway. You can't beat the hospitality of the wonderful owners who introduced us to all the fun stuff to do in the area near the Delaware River. If you would rather not venture out, with the awesome landscaping and the sexy outdoor jacuzzi, it's also the coolest location to stay in and disconnect from the craziness of NYC. I would highly recommend this amazing place!!! read more

My husband and I stayed at the Stickett Inn over Easter weekend, on the second floor in the Eat room. We had an excellent visit. Room was, charming, spacious, a great combination of vintage, funky/kitsch and modern. We could see the Delaware from our window. To counter the poor review from the Groupon holder, we used a Living Social deal at the hotel, which was somehow marked as used from a few days after we got it. I contacted the Stickett Inn directly, and had no trouble clearing up the problem quickly. I don't find email-only communication to be a problem. While Barryville in the off-season may not be the most happening place, it suited our purposes perfectly. There are bald eagle observatories along the river, an old Roebling aqueduct, with a tiny canal house museum on the NY side, and a long stretch of canal path for walking or jogging. Rohman's, a pre-civil war era relic - once a grand hotel, now a fabulous dive bar, was well worth the walk into Shohola, PA. Lots of lovely drives to be had along the river - short trips to other small, charming towns. There is a fabulous drive called the Hawk's Nest, which features the Delaware on one side, cliffs on the other. From some spots, you can see for miles, or so it seems. Anyway, Stickett Inn and Upper Delaware Valley area are highly recommended. read more

The Stickett Inn is extremely charming and lovely. It had extremely comfortable beds and the layout of our room (drink) was great. There was a separate living room and bedroom. The design of the inn was what we were drawn to, and it lived up to our expectations. The proprietor was really hospitable and gave great recommendations. The reason I can only give this 3 stars though was the building, it is very old so it makes sense that the floors would creak but you can hear everything everyone is doing in the other rooms...if you know what I mean. and I mean EVERYTHING (hint hint). Also, because the floors were thin, you can hear the room above walking, stomping, moving around....I came to the country to get AWAY from my noisy NYC neighbor. Now to solve this, I'm sure if you stay in one of there other rooms upstairs or it could have just been the weekend we stayed. It was also pretty cold and the little heater from the bathroom took awhile to heat up the bedroom. Also some of the lights in our suite were out but once we told the owner he fixed it right away. The common coffee bar space was a nice touch, but wasn't very inviting because it is in a small hallway. I would recommend staying here though just wish I had come when it wasn't so cold so we could take more advantage of the outdoor activities the area has to offer. read more

I spent my weekend there with my boyfriend. We chose the STEAM room and it's awesome!! It will definitely be better if it's summer but the room is good enough. It's spacious with unique modern decorations. The staff are extremely friendly. There're many local stores within walking distance. In fact, the staff will give you detailed info on where to have fun. Definitely check out the river across the street. The sunset was so beautiful. It's a little pricey but I think it's worth it. read more
