Thank you for visiting us.
As many of you know, the Antrim Lodge is not a building
without a colorful history --a fitting characteristic as
Sullivan County celebrates its Bicentennial. The Antrim
has been a fixture in Sullivan County for over 115 of
those years. We spent the greater part of 2004 – 2006
renovating this historic inn, only to have the building
substantially destroyed in a devastating fire in July
2006, shortly before its grand reopening. Since that
time, we have been attempting to resolve a number of
issues relating to the fire. Unfortunately, that
involved the institution of litigation in September
2008. We are still attempting to work through the issues
and are hopeful for a resolution in the near future.
In the meantime, we are happy to report that we expect
to be recommencing construction in Autumn 2009. We have
already reframed most of the exterior of the building
and the interior rooms. During our construction hiatus,
we landscaped the Antrim’s substantial lawn to create a
beautiful and lush environment for events. Most of the
work remaining to be done will focus on the inside of
the building. The process should take about a year to
finalize.
Although the refurbished building will remain true to
its historic roots, the Antrim will be substantially
improved to accommodate the needs of the modern guest.
The guest rooms have been made larger and each of the 14
rooms will have a private bath, TV, DVD player and
direct telephone line. Several of the guest rooms are
constructed so that they can be used as two or three
bedroom suites. A full size elevator will service the
lower ground through third floors. Wireless internet
will be available throughout the building and broadband
ports will be available in the new Business Center.
The Antrim will have three dining areas. The main dining
room will seat approximately 75 people and will have an
area for a band or DJ with central dance floor. The west
dining room is illuminated by a skylight and will house
a 60 inch flat screen TV. This room can be used for
anything from private dining to business presentations
to movie night! The third dining room will be located on
the lower ground floor next to the historic bar –
renowned as Keener’s Pool. The dining area will be
restored and updated, with many of the historic photos
and wall mountings hanging proudly once again. This area
will be available for more casual dining or can be
combined with the upstairs dining area for larger
functions.
Also on the lower ground level will be a Gear Room where
guests can remove their outdoor clothing and securely
stow their sporting equipment. The area will be
accessible only by card key and will have individual
room-keyed lockers. This will give guests more space in
their guest rooms. The Gear Room will lead to a sauna
and three private steam showers in which guests can
relax after a day’s activities.
We remain firmly focused on completing the restoration
of the Antrim Lodge. Our goal is to have you enjoy the
Antrim Lodge and this beautiful area of Sullivan County.
We hope to get to know you in the future.
