- "I traveled with my daughter and my dogs. We had a nice experience. The house is comfortable, I slept peacefully in the attic. We visited the caverns and the Baseball Hall of Fame." - "We came for a quick trip to visit the book village. The house was great! Very close to town, and we’ll stocked and very clean. They have beautiful walking trails behind the house as well. Would definitely recommend." - "We had a really nice trip to the Catskills planned, and had a great time at Barbara's home. The home was easy to find, the directions she gave were very thorough, and everything was clean/organized upon arrival. What questions we had prior to arriving were answered promptly and thoroughly. We had everything we needed for ourselves and our little baby, and were even able to use the grill and walk around the property. The access to the Catskill Rail Trail cannot be beat, and it really is a perfect property for anyone wanting to get away for a few days. Unfortunately we had to cut it short after one night due to a family emergency, but Barbara was very understanding and gave us a refund for the days we were unable to stay there. This was incredibly generous, and we definitely hope to be back soon."

The pool has a small bridge to enter with a gate and is fenced on all sides. It is an above ground pool approximately 15x30. Tons of room for the whole group! It is not heated but it does get full sun.

Past the pool the lawn leads to the river. The West Branch of the Delaware River runs through the town of Hobart - popular for canoeing, kayaking and fishing, and you can do it all from the house! The current and depth changes according to the season and weather but at the property line is relatively shallow. Further downstream and upstream there are deeper spots. The river along the property is about 20 feet wide, relatively narrow.

Our historic home is was built in 1840 and has been renovated and updated without losing its eclectic charm. Located in Hobart, NY, also known as the Book Village, our town has around 6 bookstores, an art gallery and several restaurants - all within walking distance! The house sits on one acre of land with the back of the property ending at the West Branch of the Delaware River.

The house is located in the village itself, a small community with a population of about 500. Neighbors walk their dogs, children ride bikes and nighttime strolls through town will find people sitting on their porch winding the day down. There are neighbors on either side of the house so we do ask our guests to be respectful of quiet hours and do not smoke on the property or in the house. Mature landscaping separates the properties. An overhead view of the property in the pictures show the home and nearby houses.

The next town over is Stamford (only 4 miles away) and it's one of the bigger towns in the Catskills. There you will find restaurants, coffee shops, local artisan boutiques, farm stands, the Tops grocery store, liquor store and more!

In the winter, there are 4 ski centers nearby - Plattekill Ski Center- 15 miles, Windham -28 miles, Belleayre - 28 miles, Hunter - 33 miles.

Within walking distance from the house are bookstores (3 mins), Catskills Scenic Trail (3 mins), the Bull & Garland restaurant (5 mins), and Farmer's Markets (Fridays 4-7, summer only, 4 mins).

- "We had a wonderful stay! The house was beautiful and exactly like the pictures. Very comfortable for 5 adults and two children. Plenty of space to relax, cook, eat, play games and build puzzles! The grounds were lovely and well taken care of. The pool and pool bar area were very nice, even if our weather did not cooperate as much as we had hoped. While the Hobart Book Village shops were open everyday, many of the surrounding towns had restaurants and shops that were only open Thursday through Sunday. Not a detriment, just mentioned for others planning purposes! We were able to go on a Rail Explorers trip as well as drive to Cooperstown to see the Baseball Hall of Fame on those days."
