About the Owner
Owner Marnie Vollmer has been in the hospitality and food service industries for over 20 years. Marnie started working as soon as she could. She took a job in an adult home caring for the elderly and helping in the kitchen. She then spent 4 years in Hawaii where she waitressed and bartended. Returning back home, she continued to waitress and bartend until she opened up and ran her own restaurant and bar for a good period of time. Marnie eventually went back into the adult care business and was an administrator of an assisted living home. She still waitressed and bartended, because she loved the business and meeting new people. Now she is on an adventure to open her home to people from all over the united states. This is why Country Manor Inn exists today. Once you meet Marnie you will never forget her. She has a smile that will light up a room, a willingness to give that goes far beyond and a heart of gold. Come spend some time at Country Manor Inn and you won't want to leave!
History of the Property
The land now known as the Clausen Estate, in Sharon Springs N.Y., had been the prosperous farm of the Eldredge family— in 1799, Barnabas Eldredge built the first school in the town of Sharon for his family and neighboring children on the property. This school burned in 1843. The Eldredge family and their home was considered significant enough to be illustrated in William Roscoe’s book, History of Schoharie County, New York, published in 1882. In 1890, Henry Clausen, Jr. purchased the Manor House, as well as a small cabin west of this structure, and approximately 360 acres of land on either side of the Great Western Turnpike from Sarah Becker, daughter of David Eldredge who was instrumental in starting the Spa Era when he moved a boarding house next to the sulfur springs.
Mr. Clausen, a prominent New Yorker, and highly successful brewer, chose Sharon Springs for his summer home because of the flourishing Hop industry in the region. Other brewers also purchased homes in the area: the Schaeffer family owned a home in the lower village, the Busch family in nearby Cooperstown. Clausen’s sprawling compound continues to rival the view of the then-famous Pavilion Hotel with ninety-mile vistas over the Mohawk Valley into the Adirondack and Green Mountains of Vermont.
