After dining at No. 9 restaurant inside Simmons' Way Village Inn, a nine-bedroom B&B in Millerton, New York, we wandered the property and chatted a bit with innkeepers Jay and Martha Reynolds.
The inn is named after Edward W. Simmons, a businessman, educator, statesman and lawyer who built the original manse in 1854. It was transformed into an elegant Victorian residence in 1892 by Edward H. Thompson, then president of Millerton National Bank. From 1903 to 1983, the house served as doctors' offices and residences. It was transformed into an inn by Carol and Robert Sadlon in 1984, and the Reynolds purchased the estate in 2003.

The restaurant is run as a separate venture by chef Tim Cocheo and his wife Taryn, with a farm-to-table philosophy.
