147 Main Street

Step into Cherry Valley history with this beautifully maintained Victorian-Italianate, currently operating as the John Henry Bed & Breakfast. Formerly the Arcadia Bed & Breakfast, this beloved inn has welcomed guests from near and far to enjoy the charm Cherry Valley is known for. Built post-Civil War, the home features ornate trim, tall windows and a distinctive round-headed stained-glass window above the front door, a nod to Italian design. This turnkey B&B offers an inviting atmosphere, each room uniquely decorated for a personalized stay. The main house has four bedrooms and four full baths, with three guest rooms upstairs featuring private en-suites and custom California closets. The first floor includes formal dining and sitting rooms filled with natural light, including an original bay window and cozy propane fireplace. The kitchen boasts a chef's dream stove, modern appliances and large pantry suited for daily living or catering. Adjacent spaces include a desk for bookings, an enclosed porch and laundry area to streamline guest turnover. The private 700-sq-ft owner’s suite, renovated in 2019, offers floor to ceiling windows, luxury vinyl flooring, custom California closets and a double-sided propane fireplace, an elegant retreat or extra guest space. A detached carriage house adds a fully equipped one-bedroom apartment with private balcony, full kitchen, walk-in closet, living room, and Vermont Castings stove, ideal as a long-term rental or innkeeper’s quarters. Guests love the location just 12 miles from Cooperstown’s National Baseball Hall of Fame, Glimmerglass Opera, Hyde Hall, and Otsego Lake, plus local breweries, wineries, and farm-to-table dining. Outdoor lovers enjoy hiking, cycling and scenic drives. Easy access to the NYS Thruway, Hudson Valley, and NYC draws weekend visitors and long-term travelers alike. Whether continuing as a thriving B&B or creating a stunning private home with income potential, 147 Main Street blends history, hospitality, and opportunity. Call today to book your private showing.
