Read this review from our first guest- "Sittin' in your wonderful barn, or listening to you spin a yarn, It was fate that we found your happy place:) To 'checkout' momentarily from the rat race. We were so grateful to stay & rest our bones, We will be back for fall foliage & more of those divine scones!" The Shortline bus is two block from the farm and there are cabs available, but to really enjoy the area a car is almost a necessity. Check out the Sullivan County Visitors Association website for what's happening in the area. Other things to note The Zen farmhouse is located in the heart of the Catskills - the home of Woodstock. There are many historic villages that date back to the early 1800's that have hardly changed. This is not your typical developed resort, this is an adventure with beautiful land, lakes, streams and sweet people that have been here for generations.
