Three inns and a baby
Sims and Kirsten Harlow Foster have been reinventing Sullivan County hospitality since 2002, starting with restaurants and moving into hotels. "My husband was raised in Livingston Manor and he sold me on this area right after we started dating," says Kirsten, who spent years as an economist with the Federal Reserve.
