Apple orchard mornings. Firelit nights. Dark sky stars. Welcome to the Hillside Retreat, a peaceful glamping retreat tucked into the countryside of the Upper Delaware Valley at the foothills of the Catskills, near Callicoon, Hancock, Narrowsburg, Roscoe, Livingston Manor and Liberty.

The Hillside Retreat is an ideal escape for nature lovers, with nearby opportunities for hiking, fishing in the Delaware River (license required), kayaking, tubing and wildlife watching. Eagles nest just across the road, and after sunset the sky fills with stars while you relax beside the fire making s’mores before drifting off to sleep. The Hillside Retreat features a fully outfitted 10’ x 12’ canvas tent with sweeping views of the Delaware Valley. Amenities include a queen bed with memory foam mattress and fleece cover, nightstands, table and chairs, solar fan, rechargeable camping lamp, solar string lights, Adirondack chairs, picnic table, fire pit with grill top, camp stove, cookware, utensils, tableware, seasonings, bug spray, potable mountain water, hot and cold on-demand shower and a private loo.

Canvas tent · Sleeps 4 · 1 bedroom · 2 beds · 1 toilet

Apple orchard mornings, firelit evenings and stars that actually show up. Private glamping in the foothills of the Catskills. The Hillside Retreat is a privately situated glamping site with wide southwestern views over the Delaware Valley, set on our 46-acre, solar-powered homestead in the foothills of the Catskills. Once a dairy and vegetable farm, the land now offers maintained walking trails, a pond, fruit trees and native plantings, all designed to give you space, privacy and a slower pace of life. Your 10’ × 12’ canvas tent sits along the gentle slope of our apple orchard and is thoughtfully outfitted with a queen-size memory foam bed, basic furnishings, a picnic table and Adirondack chairs. A two-burner stove, cookware, cutlery, plates and drinkware are provided, along with potable filtered mountain water. Complimentary firewood is included for evenings by the fire pit, where s’mores and dark-sky stargazing come naturally. A boutique bathhouse, hewn and built on-site from locally felled hemlock, features a hot and cold shower and a clean, well-kept camp loo, offering simple comforts while keeping you connected to the outdoors. Linen rental is available by advance request; guests bringing pets are asked to bring their own bedding. Yeti Tundra coolers (45 or 110) with ice packs are also available to rent. Guests can enjoy hiking, biking, tubing, kayaking and fishing (license required) along the nearby Delaware River, or simply wander the property’s trails. Wildlife is part of everyday life here, including a pair of bald eagles nesting just across the road. We are located in Long Eddy, Delaware County, about 26 miles from Bethel Woods Center for the Arts. Nearby towns including Callicoon, Hancock, Narrowsburg, Cochecton, Roscoe, Livingston Manor, Jeffersonville and Liberty offer farmers markets, shops and independently owned restaurants. We also keep a small flock of chickens, along with quail, ducks, turkeys and one resident goose. Fresh eggs from our organically fed birds are often available during your stay, along with seasonal flowers and produce. Best suited for guests who are comfortable with off-grid camping expectations and are attentive to host guidelines. We look forward to welcoming you to our quiet corner of the Catskills.

The Hillside Retreat

The Hillside Retreat is absolutely fantastic! We loved the view of the mountains from the tent, but we loved the view of the stars even more. Lydia and Robert were very welcoming and were kind enough to bring us another fire starter when we struggled to light the campfire. It was very peaceful, and we got the best night's sleep we'd had in ages. Waking up to the rooster crowing was a nice treat! Absolutely wonderful stay, I hope we get to stay here again!

Great stay

The Birch Meadow Retreat

Had a great stay at the Birch Meadow Retreat! It was private, quiet, and comfortable. It had everything I needed. Lots of fire wood, space for my dog to run off-leash, a camp stove and things for cooking. The tent was cute and comfortable. Thanks for having me!

Picturesque

The Hillside Retreat

The views and the location are fantastic. Sitting around a fire in the early evening, trees ablaze with the setting sun's light. Waking to the sound of a rooster's crow, mist burning off the fields. Picturesque experience.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Perfect Escape at Hill

The Birch Meadow Retreat

I can confidently say this place is an absolute gem! From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly welcomed and at ease. The retreat is just a quick 2-minute walk from the car, making it super convenient yet wonderfully secluded, offering the perfect blend of accessibility and privacy. The star gazing at night was nothing short of spectacular—we spent hours marveling at the clear, vibrant sky and even captured some amazing photos that we'll cherish forever. The retreat was well-stocked with plenty of firewood, keeping us cozy and warm, and the thoughtful touch of fresh filtered water made our stay even more comfortable. Everything about Hillside Retreat was perfect—a true haven for relaxation and connection with nature. We can’t wait to return to this incredible spot! Highly recommend to anyone seeking a peaceful, unforgettable getaway.

Beautiful scenic campsite

The Hillside Retreat

We had a great time camping at Lydia and Robert’s Hillside Retreat! The spot was isolated with a beautiful view and is great for stargazing if the weather cooperates, which it did. It was very scenic and a great spot to bring your dog for off-leash playing. They provided all the necessary supplies and more, such as cooking supplies, tent and bed, we just had to bring our own linens. The site overlooked a meadow and was easy to get to, just be aware you have to walk up a hill to get there, and Lydia and Robert offered their help to carry our things. It’s a great spot for romantic getaways, so much so that my fiancé proposed to me while we were there!! We will be back!

The Hillside Retreat

The campsite is located up on a steep hill and it was so hard to carry our belongings. They don’t even provide the linens, you have to rent it for $35. It’s a quiet place and the view is nice.

The Hillside Retreat

Great camp site on top of a hill with beautiful views. Extra attention to detail provided by your hosts Lydia & Robert. As advertised, my dog was able roam off leash, which is important to me. I will certainly be back!
