Set back on a small private road, the cabin that dates back to the 1800s is perched above the Callicoon Creek, popular with fly fishermen casting for rainbow trout. Head up the wooded driveway and find yourself in a serene, green clearing all your own. The cabin and studio make for a peaceful getaway, shielded from the surroundings, but incredibly convenient for reaching nearby towns and activities.

In front of the house runs the Callicoon Creek, which feeds nearby into the Delaware River. For fly fishing enthusiasts, there is a private path steps from the front porch that leads directly down to the bank. Occasionally after a big storm, the creek becomes a mighty river and is best watched from a distance. But normally, the lower water reveals an idyllic little beach. Bring a good book and one of the folding deck chairs, and you can spend an entire afternoon lounging creekside.

If you catch a trout in the creek (or if you just buy one!), bring it back and grill it on the deck, then set up a beautiful meal with friends and family on the large wooden farm table. And there’s lots of lighting for an evening outdoors. As the night rolls on, light a fire in the fire pit, and when it’s time to head indoors, there are plenty of board games to keep you busy.

“Stayed here during our honeymoon. One of the best AirBnb experiences I’ve had. The place was just as charming as the pictures indicated. The bed and bedding were super cozy. Hot tub was clean and very hot! You can hear the sound of the stream from the bedroom window. Kitchen is great to cook in! On top of all that Meng responded to all our queries immediately. Super helpful! Also, we went to their restaurant up the street and it was the best meal we had in Callicoon. Also, the lilacs were in full bloom! Lucky us.”
