Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway!

Sticks and Stones is one of those properties that exudes a personal style that is both engaging and welcoming, while providing plenty of comfort and opportunities for relaxation. Convenient to Barryville and Narrowsburg, both towns along the Delaware River receiving a bit of buzz these days, the property is tucked along a quiet road that affords views of a waterfall and its soothing audio, across the way.

The property itself is an ongoing project for the owner, who has embellished the land with pretty stone walls, creative stickwork (some of which has made its way onto walls inside) and displays of found items and souvenirs. A pretty brook winds its way during most of the year through the hemlock forest behind the house and skirts the patio before continuing on its journey. A sweet café table and chairs is perched along its mossy bank for your afternoon tea.

Inside the house is alive with texture, from the rough-sawn wood that makes up the sliding barn door in the living room, to the chunky wooden beams throughout, and the stone masonry on some of the walls, this house incorporates wonderful natural elements and pairs them with punches of color among the comfortable furnishings and interesting accents.

The seating area in the living room is made extra-toasty with a cast-iron wood stove, and that wonderful barn door leads to the pleasantly proportioned master bedroom beyond. A round dining table near the kitchen provides your indoor option for meals, as well as a couple spots with barstools, while the warmer months will lure you outside. The kitchen is simply appointed, with oodles of charm, and is an easy and delightful space in which to prepare your feasts.

Upstairs the second bedroom, tucked under the eaves, has a pleasing seating area, and a door to a balcony overlooking the lush grounds. The house's bathroom is downstairs, and has a shower.

In addition to the outdoor nooks and crannies, there is a hot tub for relaxing under the stars.

Sticks and Stones is located in the heart of the Delaware River Valley just minutes from the hamlet of Barryville. This quaint riverfront town has lots of explore-worthy stores and restaurants. Grab a sandwich and local groceries at Barryville General or on Saturday from May-October, explore the Barryville Farmers Market - be sure to order ahead from Beach Lake Bakery. Enjoy wood-fired pizza from Forage Pizza, pick up some local wines at Barryville Bottle, or check out Shrewd Fox Brewery.

Try swimming in the Delaware River, check out Reber River Trips for rafting or explore the various hikes around the Catskills. We have a local guide we share with all our guests to help you get the most of your stay at Sticks and Stones.

Sticks and Stones is less than two hours from New York City, and you'll definitely want a car to get there and around the area. In the winter, we recommend a car with four-wheel drive that can handle the snow and gravel roads.
