This land was once all pasture for grazing animals. We moved to Delaware County in November 2018 to start our family and pursue dreams of working on the land. The initial idea was to find a place we could live, garden, and raise a few animals while hosting guests and sharing the land with visitors. When we found this place on Williams Road, we loved the mix of rural and proximity to a thriving country town. We now have two kids and enjoy living in Delhi so much we hardly leave the town limits! There are wonderful restaurants, a great year-round farmers market, grocery stores, and many other services and amenities you can find listed towards the end of this guide. Our Catskill Mountain home is situated on a historic early 19th century farm site. Parts of the house might be more than 190 years old! With several additions and upgrades we think the house has lots of charm and enjoy the many modern touches. The property is overgrown pastures and a few steeper slopes with medium growth trees. After the industrial period saw this region nearly deforested, the land was granted to settlers who cleared fields and planted grass. Our immediate vicinity was knows for it’s cattle (Bovina), mostly for diary, and sheep. The agriculture in Delaware County has been on a decline since the advent of rail shipping opened New York City markets to farms in less challenging geographies. Construction of the NYC fresh water system (DEP Watershed) may have contributed to this decline, but about 60-70 years ago the majority of pastures, especially less productive parcels were abandoned to the “weed trees”. These first succession trees grew quickly in the sunny meadows and covered the hills; trees such as Ash, Hawthorn, and Norway Spruce. Fences and barns were left to return to the earth. On our property the stone walls that boarder the fields are the most stark reminder of the intensive agriculture practiced here.

Amanda and Christopher have a great spot and we loved the sauna and cold plunge after a lbng day hike. Semi private and well equipped with wood and water, we had a great experience and would definitely go back to Steady Slope!

Camping with dogs!
Amanda and Christopher welcomed us and our 3 dogs to their wonderful property and sauna. We really enjoyed our three days in the forest. If you like the fields there are those as well. Nice people, great energy, and very dog friendly!

Wonderful wooded, private campsite!
Amanda's a great host, very accommodating and the campsite and all of the property are beautiful, thoughtfully put together, well-equipped, private and peaceful. We loved Ripley and Pepper, our friendly and playful canine hosts, too! Property is close drive over to Andes and Delhi for supplies, swimming holes, dining, etc. Bed was comfy and the tent was very sweet. Awesome campfires and getaway for my son's 18th bday and his pals.

Beautiful property with very kind hosts. Our tent and campsite were quaint and private. The sauna is an extra charge but totally worth it!

Absolutely lovely stay at Steady Slope. We had fun even in a sudden rainstorm. We had two cute dogs by our side and had a great time by the fire. Definitely recommend!
