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.

Great stay! Quiet and secluded enough to feel private, but not too far of a walk to the shower, sink, and parking lot to cleanup or grab something from the car. Some cell service if necessary on the site, and Amanda and Christopher communicated well and coordinated pickup of our things with their RTV so we didn’t have to lug it to and from the car. Was well stocked and a relaxing stay overall!

Christopher and Amanda were very nice and accommodating hosts. We were able to enjoy waking up to a beautiful view on their land and the free firewood provided for the campfire. Had an overall great experience!

Chris and Amanda do such a great job! I was solo with my tent and bike trying to get a bike ride at the nearby Catskill Scenic Trail. The dogs were nice to have around and kept me company. The sauna and cold plunge session the next morning was just what I needed to recharge. Can't thank enough for letting people experience their space.

Great place to stay with kids. Private with the exception of two sweet dogs that welcome our dog and they all had fun.
