Turning A New Page In Upstate NY History
The Stephentown Hotel boasts a rich history dating back to the 1860s when it opened its doors as “The Stephentown House Hotel.” Over the years, the hotel has undergone several owners and renovations, each leaving its mark on the building while preserving its original charm and character.
Notable proprietors include Peter Kushow (or Couchot), the hotel’s first owner, and Emily Morin, who purchased the hotel in 1941 and operated it for over 50 years.
Emily’s daughter, Marilyn, fondly remembers her mother as a legend, stating, “At 4 feet 10 inches, she controlled it like a giant.” The hotel and its bar, named for Emily, remained a staple of Stephentown well into the 2000s.
In 2021, the building was purchased by Dillon Nash, the current proprietor, who decided it was time to breathe new life into this piece of local history. Dillon took on a 3-year gut renovation to reopen the Stephentown Hotel after being closed for 13 years.
In 2023, the newly renovated Stephentown Hotel reopened its doors to the public. With a modern twist on its classic design, the hotel has already started filling up rooms and catching the eyes of locals and tourists alike.
