Your campsite is perched along a private waterfall gorge with towering hemlocks and dramatic bluestone ledges. New wood-fired hot tub! A private off-the-grid nature experience with only two campsites on 12 acres. Need gear? Add the Extra “Glamp me up package” and everything you need will be waiting. Hot shower, toilet, drinking water, and rubbish bin all provided. Minutes from Delaware River swimming, fishing and boating spots. The landscape is enchanting and profoundly peaceful with over a mile of trails through ferns, berry brambles, rock walls, and boulder fields. Enjoy hammocks, seasoned firewood, and more. The circular driveway is well maintained and welcomes boat trailers. Away from it all, but also close to quaint river towns and conveniences. The Upper Delaware River (5 miles) is a crystal clear oasis for swimming, tubing, canoeing, and fishing. When you book, we send you our Visitor's Guide chock full of local gems like Equinunk General Store, Good Find Farm (impeccable organic produce), and Fat Cat Cones country ice cream shop. Firewood: First crate FREE. Additional for purchase. OK to collect plentiful dead wood. Wood-fired hot tub: See Site #2 description. It's private for site #2 but if you booked Site #1 and no one is in Site #2, you can hike down and use the hot tub too! Glamping: Available as an add-on (see Extras). Pets: Site #1 is the designated dog-friendly site. Host Interaction: You dictate the vibe. Want total isolation? We're highly skilled at being invisible. Prefer company? We'll invite you down for locally roasted coffee to trade local lore and point you to secret spots to explore. Hosts live in the off-grid solar cabin and converted school bus camper on the property from late June through August. We are off-site during most other dates. Access Logistics: Self check-in/out. Borrow the rugged garden cart to haul gear to your site. Trails use reflective markers for easy night navigation. Liability Waiver and Rules: You'll get a link to e-sign before arrival. One per family or unrelated adult guest. Waterfall intensity: Varies with weather. Expect a whitewater torrent after very heavy rain or snowmelt or just a steady spring-fed trickle during droughts. What's nearby? Hancock NY (15 mins), Honesdale PA (20 mins), Bethel and Livingston Manor NY (45 mins). Rent boats and get Delaware River shuttle service from local business O.A.R.S. Of Hancock. See you on the mountain!

Site #2: Waterfall Hemlock Hideaway

100%
(2)
Tent site · Sleeps 4
Site #2 (Waterfall Hemlock Hideaway) is an oversized 12 ft x 16 ft raised wooden deck nestled in a towering hemlock grove right alongside a cascading waterfall creek. The wood-fired hot tub is located next to this site, in a private nook overlooking the gorge. Perfect for lazy days chilling in hammocks (provided) while enjoying the peaceful nature. There are many little pools and ledges to explore along hundreds of feet of creek. Located just a one minute walk from parking down a rocky trail this site is totally private especially with tree foliage (cannot see or hear the other site). Lots of amenities to make your stay easy and comfortable. Site Amenities: - 12 ft x 16 ft tent platform has room for your tent plus chairs, table, and gear - Wood-fired hot tub (see description below for how to use) - Free crate of firewood - Additional firewood for purchase (self serve) - Rock fire ring with adjustable cooking grate - Picnic Table (movable) - Camp chairs (stored in box) - Metal gear storage box - 2 hammocks (movable) - Access to hot outdoor shower, outhouse toilet, sink/water source - Trash disposal Wood-fired hot tub: 1) Fill with water using the gravity-fed pipe and catchment box that we've placed near the creek. 2) Build and maintain a fire in the steel coil. The water takes anywhere from 3-5 hours to heat from creek temperature to 98-104 degrees. 3) You'll refill the wood, stir the water, until your desired temperature is reached. This requires some patience and adventurous spirit but is well worth the effort on those cool summer nights and chilly fall days. On very hot days, use the tub as a cold plunge with cool spring-fed creek water! The waterfall flow varies from a cascading roar during very heavy rains to a light spring-fed trickle during extended droughts. We are a dog-friendly property; however, this site is not pet friendly. For your tranquility and fido's freedom to roam, Site #1 is our designated dog-friendly site. Optional "glamp me up" package available. Add this Extra and arrive to a fully set up campsite including tent, sleeping cots, cookware, and more.

Site #1: Secluded Creekside Tent

100%
(9)
Canvas tent · Sleeps 6 · 4 beds · 1 toilet
A pet-friendly, secluded site surrounded by acres of forest and blackberry bramble with ready-to-use 12x10 foot canvas wall tent on level platform. Perched high above the babbling hemlock lined creek with dramatic waterfalls and bluestone ledges. Countless refreshing pools, mossy rock ledges, little caves, and other natural wonders to explore. Location: A brisk uphill walk from parking area, less than 5 minutes along a well marked trail. Borrow our rugged cart to haul your gear. Courtesy Shuttle: When we're on-site (July/Aug) if we're home when you arrive and depart, we're happy to haul a load of your gear in our ATV. Not guaranteed but most of the time it works out. Canvas tent: Handmade in Colorado it’s a heavy duty canvas expedition tent on wood platform. Comfortably sleeps 4. Full floor sheet, rain fly, 3 large screened windows and screened full size front door. Seasonal wood stove (you drop in the stove pipe through the ceiling flap when you want to use it). Fireproof mat for under the stove. Site Amenities: - Firewood: 1st crate free, additional for purchase, stored at site, pay as you go - Drinking water: 5 gal. jug at site; fill-ups at sink as needed - Fire pit with adjustable cooking grate - Picnic table - Rocket stove: for cooking or boiling water using twigs/small branches - Propane torch firestarter - 2 hammocks with tree straps - Metal storage locker to store your cookware, dry goods, cooler and gear - "Bear Hang" storage bucket to hang items out of reach Capacity: Tent sleeps 4 very comfortably. Bigger groups can hammock camp as there are many well spaced trees here. Mostly level and cleared spots for additional tents are available about 50 ft from the main tent. Optional "Glamp Me Up" Package - If you choose this “Extra”, we'll set up airbeds, clean sheets and towels, heavy wool blankets, pillows, and other helpful gear before you arrive. - Items such as cooler, propane burner, stovetop, cookware available to borrow on request
