About Us

Micosta Leisure Inn is nestled among towering maple and oak trees along the bank of the Claverack Creek. The owner, Steven McKay, found this piece of property during the winter of 20—after having lived in an apartment in Hudson and completing a year of employment with Cornell Cooperative Extension for a year. Having worked in agriculture all his life with a major in horticulture, bee biology, and international agriculture, and the award of top agriscience teacher in 1986, he was looking for a place that is beautiful and suitable for farming and business. After purchasing the 110 year-old farmhouse and property, building improvements began (new windows and heating system) and a fruit variety trial was planted for Cornell Cooperative Extension. Recommendations for improved fruit varieties and uncommon fruit plans for the region resulted. Also a processing center was organized to develop innovative processed products using the fruits being grown. After retiring in 2012, Steven developed small-scale commercial plantings of promising varieties and a line of products made from the produce. The concept of an inn evolved as an apartment got remodeled and space was left for a second room upstairs. As the second room was finished the inn opened in 2019. The first visitors enjoyed the ambiance, farming, landscaping, and site on the river. It was a success, more rooms were needed, and expansion has taken place to bring us to now have eight rooms with three hot tubs, a sauna, 2 gazebos, and soon a swimming pool.
