  "descriptionLong": "The DeBruce is a boutique inn tucked into the Neversink River gorge, offering an experience that seamlessly blends world-class fly fishing with refined Catskills hospitality. The property sits on 600 acres of forests, meadows, and private water on the Neversink — a legendary wild trout stream. The farm-to-table restaurant, helmed by a James Beard–nominated chef, sources ingredients from the inn's own gardens and local Catskills farms. Guided fishing trips access private water that sees virtually zero pressure. The inn's aesthetic is rustic-luxe: original wide-plank floors, curated art, and rooms that feel like a stylish friend's country house.",
