Floating Farmhouse is a little piece of heaven just two hours outside of Manhattan.

This place is just as beautiful in person as it is in the pictures. Absolutely gorgeous in every detail from the picture perfect kitchen to the fireplaces and soaking tubs.

The house is spacious with lots of room to stretch out and relax and lots of cozy communal spaces to share with your friends. Our group had such a great time we are already checking our calendars for a return stay.

A group of friends and me stayed at the FF this past weekend and had a terrific time. It's not far from NYC at all and feels like you're a million miles away. Betsy was a pleasure to deal with leading up to the trip and was quite responsive with my questions via email. The kitchen is the star of the show, and if you can master the pizza over, you're in for a real treat. We also experienced snow on Saturday which enhanced the beauty even more. The master bedroom is significantly larger than the other bedrooms, so if you are going as couples and not a group of friends I think the best way to go into it, is to offer to pay a bit more because it is definitely worth more.. I know others on this site won the room by a game of pool, so whatever you feel best. We hope to return in the warmer weather, as I can only imagine how incredible the lake must be.

This home is just perfect. Not one false note! We've been back once for a repeat visit and plan to make this a regular retreat from the city.

I was up at the Floating Farmhouse with a group of friends last weekend and had an amazing time. The property is absolutely stunning and really really well maintained. We had a lovely dinner at Hennings the evening we arrived (suggested in the guide that Betsy sent us), and spent most of the rest of the weekend just hanging out in the house, lounging in front of the fireplace and making pizza in the awesome pizza oven. This is the perfect getaway from the city, and Betsy was fantastic to work with from start to finish. Can't wait to go back!

If you are looking to chill out upstate, cook great food, drink by a fire (if you're here in the winter) this place is perfect. The house is gorgeous. Amazing design. While its minimal its also super comfy and clean. Don't be afraid, use the wood fire oven to make some pizza's. We did and they turned out great! Betsy was awesome during the entire process and very helpful with all of our questions. We didn't do much of anything but enjoy the house but next time i'll def. hit up the town to see what partying with the locals is like as well as take advantage of the tubing hill 30 minutes away. Overall awesome time, and yes, i'd def. recommend to friends but keep it a secret from my enemies!

We had a small, intimate wedding at the farmhouse in early Fall. The property and house speak for themselves - gorgeous and serene. Our guests were blown away by the setting. Design elements are well chosen throughout the property and everything is well maintained. The layout of the house allows guests to have privacy when they want it but you'll probably find yourself spending most of your time in the communal rooms - especially the kitchen. As someone else has said in a previous review, definitely fight for the master bedroom.

Tom and his property managers Betsey and Ingrid were incredibly easy to work with over the course of planning our event. They're responsive, helpful, respectful, and calm. We had to do a couple of site visits over the course of planning and they were easy to set up.

There aren't many food options in the immediate area, but there's just enough that you could have a few dinners out coupled with a few made at home over the course of your stay. The farmhouse kitchen is very well appointed. We didn't have time to use the wood burning pizza oven, but that just gives us another reason to go back.

Henning's Local, up the road at the Eldred Preserve (where many of our younger guests stayed), has excellent locally sourced food. They also kept the bar and kitchen open late two nights in a row for our wedding guests. Henning is a seriously great guy. We'd also recommend the pizza at Baker's Tap Room in Barryville and breakfast at Heron in Narrowsburg. The day after our wedding, we held breakfast at the Eldred Diner. The service was excellent, especially considering that the relatively small place was stuffed with locals and our guests.

One note for people looking at the the property as a potential event site - you'll have to rent everything, including a bathroom trailer (due to the septic systems capacity), but we didn't have a monster budget and still found it doable. Tom recommended Rent E Vent to us and we ended up renting the majority of things from them. They were flat out awesome. Super helpful.

The floating farmhouse is the kind of house you rent to stay in one place. It's a calming, still, and quiet location. You go to sleep to the sound of bullfrogs and wake up to the sound of birds. It's easy to do nothing there. We can't wait to go back to stay when we're not expecting 60 people the next day...

This home is incredible. My crew and I went up for the day to shoot a short film in the home and on the surrounding property, and words cannot express what an ideal location it was for filming and what a great day we had. The Floating Farmhouse made quite an impression on us. The owner/builder has done such a wonderful job with the architecture and interior design, down to tiniest details. We loved the free standing bed in the master room, the sea green locker closet, both huge bathtubs and all the windows the kitchen. Just unbelievable, especially for filmmakers or photographers. There is so much natural light! And there is lots to explore in the surrounding fields, forrest, pond and all over the property. A few of our crew members, myself included, want to come back and rent the house with their family members or significant others for a week. I can see it being an ideal romantic retreat, because it's so quiet and peaceful. But there is so much space too! Also great for a big family or group of friends. And the owner and property manager are beyond helpful, providing us with clear, helpful directions, tips and local places to eat and visit.

In case it's not clear from the above, I am recommending this place to anyone and everyone. :)

I cannot say enough how beautiful the house is and how wonderful our stay there was. You can see and feel the effort and passion that has gone into creating this home and just how much every little detail has been carefully thought about. There were 7 or us there for the weekend and I couldn't recommend it more highly...so much so that we've even booked our next trip already.
