We went to the Bed and Breakfast this weekend for an initial assessment of conditions on our property and Windham in general. First of all, with regards to our property…with the exception of an electrical malfunction with our well (to be fixed tomorrow I hope) and slight water damage to our driveway (cars can still enter and exit with no problem)…we have suffered no other damage due to the storm and we plan to be open for business this Friday the 16th of September as scheduled.
The town of Windham endured major damage along Main Street, but I am happy to report that recovery efforts are coming along very well! The road is now fine and completely open for travel, all roads in Windham are actually open for car/truck traffic now which is great! You can still see the force of the Batavia Kill as it has left creek damage and some tree damage alongside the creek on Main Street.
Many of the businesses which were affected will be open for business shortly or are already open for business now, which will allow us to have a great foliage season after all! I’m listing information here of restaurants/cafes/stores below:
Alpine Village (including Chalet Fondue, the Mobil and Windham Mountain Outfitters), Vesuvio’s Restaurant, Rockin Mexicana, the Windham Winery, Daly’s Coffee Shop, Toderos Deli/Salumeria, Post Office, Valero convenience store/gas station, Windham Hardware Store, Christmans Golf Course and Chicken Run are all currently open.
GNH Lumber plans to open on the 19th of September
The Brewery and Catskill Mountain Country Store plan to open on September 24th
Bistro Brie and Bordeaux hopes to be open by the beginning of October
I will get information on Messina’s restaurant as well as Mill Rock ASAP.
Another update will follow as warranted
