Bed and Breakfast Description

Ideal for weddings and private parties of 20-200 guests. Set in the rolling hills of picturesque Chappaqua in beautiful Westchester County, Crabtree's Kittle House Restaurant & Inn has 12 guestrooms with private bath and cable TV.

Since 1981, the Kittle House has been owned and operated by The Crabtree Family who have returned the House to its former glory through extensive renovations and enhancements. The grounds have been transformed with the planting of various intimate gardens where brides' memories are recorded. The Beautiful Atrium Dining Room has been expanded to hold elegant affairs of up to 225 guests. The main dining rooms have been lovingly restored and decorated with original 19th century artwork. The 12 guest rooms each offer a cozy retreat for weary travelers, and the former stables have been transformed into a wine cellar that holds one of the greatest collections of fine wines on earth.

These amenities, along with the friendly, professional Hospitality Staff and dedicated, talented culinary team, result in what noted food writer Gerry Dawes refers to as: "All in all, one of the most refined and civilized restaurants in these parts, and that includes New York City."

Area Attractions and Activities:

The Kittle House, under the proprietorship of the Lawrence family, thrived during the following summers as The Lawrence Farms Inn. The Westchester Playhouse, located on the adjacent property of what is now the Mt. Kisco Country Club, was in its prime. The birthplace of many an illustrious career, the inn often played host to several famous and soon-to-be-famous actors and actresses including Henry Fonda, Margaret Sullavan and Talullah Bankhead. In fact Fonda's performances in the Playhouse helped to launch his legendary career.

One of the most memorable incidents that took place at the Kittle House was on an "explosive" Fourth of July, when Sullavan quenched an argument with Fonda by pouring a glass of ice water on his head. In 1949 the inn was sold to William Carlson who shortened the name to "The Kittle House".
