BARN The barn is under renovation so it can't be accessed but its history can be appreciated from the outside. SHED The original white shed has been renovated with new flooring, windows and furniture, a great little hideaway for kids and adults. OUTSIDE Callicoon Creek is at the rear of the property and another creek runs right through the property and intersects Callicoon Creek. Cross over this side creek and roam the 7 acres of partially wooded land with just the right amount of trees left to grow naturally. There's a cedar horse run-in shed in this wooded area. This will be a glamping space in the near future, included with the house. In the back yard is a large firepit plus a grill, a deck and picnic tables. The house is on North Branch Road so it's not a remote setting however when you're in the backyard listening to the rushing water of the creek you will feel like you're in the middle of nature, miles away from everything. Walk along the side creek and just before the road overpass take a seat on the large rock next to the baby trout sanctuary. This slightly deeper pool of water is a hang out spot for 2" baby trout. It's the perfect spot to sit, read a book and listen to the nothing but the sound of the water.

We only monitor them if an issue arrises (very rare as we have amazing guests.) **CELL PHONE service is very spotty. We do have a landline phone you can use. **PLEASE NOTE: This is the country and you can expect to see many animals, birds, snakes and insects (including ticks) that are all part of the ecosystem. Black Bears live locally although we have not seen them on the property yet. There are Eagles and hawks in the area so keep small dogs close to you at all times. When hiking through wooded areas or grass we recommend using Off spray or another known brand on your shoes and legs. SEE MY OTHER LISTINGS: Please check out my profile for three other properties, all unique and exciting. RULES: THIS IS NOT A PARTY HOUSE! I can't stress this enough. Mature adults 28+ enjoying a few cold ones or a few bottles of wine is fine. A large group of young people drinking until highly intoxicated or using illegal substances or acting rowdy is not the kind of group we want staying in our home. Guest access The entire property is available for you to enjoy but the barn is off limits until it is completely renovated. Other things to note CELL PHONE SERVICE IS SPOTTY. We do have a landline phone that you can use and we recommend using Wi-Fi calling as well. CREEK ACCESS: Do not cross Callicoon Creek ( behind the barn) to the opposite shoreline or the neighbor behind will be upset. Her property is on the other side. The side creek is fine to cross and hike on the other side because it's part of our property. The two creeks on the property vary in depth and speed of flow depending on the season and rainfall. Summer is usually a bit more shallow making the side creek easy to cross and fun to walk through where you will discover baby trout and frogs. Caution : **During very heavy rainfall and storms, which could happen any time of year, the flow can be strong, like a fast river, a spectacular site indeed. You must keep a safe distance and respect nature during these times. Callicoon Creek has a deep spot of 5-8 feet year round so children must be supervised. This is the area behind the barn so it's a safe enough distance from the house but should be mentioned regardless.
