LUXE STAY IN A FULLY RENOVATED FARMHOUSE. Recommended by TimeOut NY

Our farmhouse offers unimaginable charm and serenity in the Catskill Mountains with the most luxurious amenities offering a truly elevated experience. Nestled amidst lush greenery and surrounded by picturesque landscapes, this rustic yet modern farmhouse provides guests with a perfect blend of charm, comfort, luxury, and tranquility. Whether you're seeking a quiet weekend getaway, a memorable family vacation, a bachelorette party, college reunion, or accommodations for guests of Handsome Hollow and Seminary Hill Cidery weddings, our farmhouse provides the perfect setting for an unforgettable retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Just a short drive From "The City," our bucolic 12+ acre farm boasts wildflowers, woods, pastures, and an expansive groomed lawn. You'll love the chic, fully renovated farmhouse with a wrap-around, screened-in porch, a modern kitchen and multiple dining areas (including a brand new 400 SF bluestone patio, a screened-in porch, and a dining room with a view of the countryside, woods and animals in our backyard) Of course, the home has fast wifi, central air conditioning, an activated charcoal water purification system, and an on-demand whole home generator, so you will never be without all the comforts you expect.

Spend your days fishing, swimming or floating on our large fish-stocked pond complete with inner tubes and a rowboat. Play ping pong on our professional-grade outdoor table. Watch the abundant wildlife. Listen to the gurgle of the waterfall. Relax on the private dock. Spend evenings in the hot tub or around the campfire in the backyard. Minutes from the National Park Service protected Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River. Centrally located near Livingston Manor, Roscoe (Trout City) and Callicoon, Hancock, Equinunk. We're just minutes from the Delaware River and top-rated for fly fishing, tubing, kayaking and more.

There is great natural light and serene views wherever you gaze. Guests can choose from a variety of accommodations, including 3 queen-size beds and two twins, all furnished with premium linens and plush pillows. Each bed is adorned with a down comforter (winter). Additionally, the bedrooms offer charming decor and ample storage space for belongings.

Also on the first floor are a large farm kitchen, a large living room with a huge down sofa and a large TV, a comfortable dining room and a peaceful home office/library with books and a desk for working remotely. And don't forget the gorgeous wrap-around, screened-in porch and the open patio with shade trees in the rear. It is a perfect spot for a peaceful respite with family and friends. In the front yard is a prolific apple tree. The property includes a barn, chicken coop, and an original his and her's outhouse.

The fully equipped kitchen is a chef's delight, complete with modern appliances, including a Vitamix blender, a Gaggia espresso/cappiccino maker, a drip coffee maker, a Keurig (and pods), fresh coffee beans and a grinder.

A true piece of Americana! Long Eddy, Callicoon, Roscoe (Trout Town), Cochecton, Livingston Manor and Hancock offer eateries, distilleries, and breweries with tons of history.

A thirty-minute drive to the site of the 1969 Woodstock concert at Max Yasgur's dairy farm in Bethel, and the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts.

Ask us for early check-in or late check-out times. We try to always be flexible. While we do not want your dog to have to go to a kennel and encourage you to bring the pup along, cleaning the house requires more time. There is an additional dog fee.

The Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, the original site of the 1969 Woodstock Music Festival is just a 35-minute drive away.

Get ready for the most striking views of the Delaware River Valley from famous Jensen's Ledges.

Summer camps such as French Woods Sports & Arts, French Woods Festival of the Performing Arts Camp, Camp Indian Head, Camp Equinunk, Camp Blue Ridge, Tyler Hill Camp and others in northern Wayne County, are all within 5-15 miles or less, as is the newest wedding venue, Handsome Hollow. On quaint Delaware Route 28 outside of Fishes Eddy, NY.

“Farm stay”
Loved feeling of being in a charming farmhouse sited on rolling fields. Well equipped for family fun - swam and fished in the pond, gazed at the stars around a fire, played ping pong and enjoyed the hot tub. Near to Hancock the river. Highly recommend..

Cozy Perfect Summer Spot!
This was our second year booking this rental for a summer friends getaway. We loved the wraparound porch, the great dock and pond, the outdoor grill and patio table, and just the general care and thoughtful details of this spot.

Wonderful Stay
We chose the house because it was so close to French Woods camp for visiting day. We didn’t expect the property to be so lovely. Aside from being in a beautiful location, the house was stocked with recreational objects (from ping pong to rafting). We were greeted with a lovely package with the makings for s‘mores to make in the fire pit and a bottle of wine. The kitchen had three different kinds of coffee makers (along with coffee). We will definitely be coming back

Fantastic Getaway
We had a wonderful time at the farmhouse. The house is beautiful and is very well stocked. The property is private, well kept and our 4 kids loved swimming and floating in the pond and spending evenings in the hot tub, playing ping pong and sitting around the fire pit. There were some great local restaurants and overall we had an awesome long weekend and would definitely come back again!

Friends First Time Fly Fishing Trip
Bruce and Denise's Farmhouse was the perfect weekend retreat for our group of six longtime high school buddies getting together for a weekend of fly fishing on the Delaware River. Their advice on where to eat dinner in the area was spot on and the house had way more amenities than we could utilize. Everything was as advertised and then some. Our only regret was not making time for another night or two. Hopeful to return in the near future .

Perfect Getaway
My friends and I had a fantastic stay at the French Woods Farmhouse! The house and property are beautiful. The house is roomy and immaculate. We enjoyed watching the sunset from the dock, stargazing from the hot tub, lounging on the big couch, and eating and playing games at the large dining room table. Bruce was amazing in communicating all the details we needed for an enjoyable stay including things to do nearby. We hope to return next year!

Great stay for all ages
We had an excellent experience staying here. It was one of the best equipped rentals we’ve stayed in, with a fully stocked kitchen, lots of queen beds, comfy couch, hot tub, etc. It’s also located on a beautiful lot with a lake. Bruce was very responsive and accommodating. Would highly recommend!
