Van Benschoten House and Guest House is a historic home and guest house located at Margaretville in Delaware County, New York, United States. It is an example of late 19th summer boarding house design applied to a working farmhouse. The main house was built about 1890 and its exterior massing of the two story main residence is broken up into four gabled pavilions emanating from a hipped-roof core in the Queen Anne style. It features an octagonal tower with a tall pointed roof. Also on the property is a cow barn.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[1]
