5 Bedroom House in Town of Highland, Eldred

As featured in Dwell Magazine, Travel & Leisure and the Wall Street Journal: a mix of stunning modern architecture and old-world charm makes Floating Farmhouse, an 1820 manor home perched over a pristine Catskills creek and waterfall, an inspired vacation destination, company offsite/retreat venue, and film/photo shoot location. This celebrated home is perfectly situated within two hours of NYC, 2.5 hours of Philadelphia, and 15 miles of the area's most sought-after attractions, including world-class concerts at Bethel Woods, the Tusten hiking trails overlooking the Delaware River, skiing at Big Bear, the picturesque river town of Narrowsburg, and some of the finest dining and farmer's markets in the Catskills. Deliveries of farm-sourced, organic, and standard groceries and produce can be arranged ahead of arrival, and personal chef services, yoga/fitness class instruction, and massage therapy organized at Floating Farmhouse as well.
Floating Farmhouse's breathtaking spaces and storybook setting make it the great Catskills escape for family, friends, and co-workers alike. It's that much better shared together; rolling dough for the wood-fired pizza oven, trout-fishing at the shoreline or plunging into deep cool water from grand stone ledges, grooving to old vinyls in the Great Room, deep dinner party conversation in the light-dappled barn—simple pleasures that, in the right place and company, become profound.
An enormous kitchen features polished concrete floors, a wood-fired pizza oven, and a two-story wall of glass framing views of the brook, gazebo, apple trees, and barn. Three sets of French doors lead to an expansive covered porch, suspended over the water's edge, and the waterfall's cascading rhythms fill the great room and master suite, both enhanced by large roaring fireplaces as well. Original cast-iron beds and wavy glass windows adorn all sleeping quarters, and vintage farmhouse furnishings abound throughout. Restaurants, farmers markets, river rafting, and concerts are all a country mile away. But the Floating Farmhouse is likely where you'll most want to be.
Owner and staff are available by phone or text 24/7

Summary: Our family of 10 spent 10 days at floating farmhouse. The property is beautiful, very private with plenty of space for a large group. It’s a lovely and unique home.

Summary: This sublime retreat in the Catskills is the perfect place to relax and spend quality time with friends. Beautifully designed, it's at once spacious (allowing everyone a little privacy and their own place to curl up with a good book) and intimate. The common spaces were wonderful places to gather, break bread and watch a movie or two. Everything you might need in the way of amenities is available, including an excellent record collection! On top of it all, Tom is an excellent and highly responsive host.

Summary: Our family of six people had a great time staying in this special place. The setting is beautiful and we all just loved standing in the kitchen looking out the glass wall to the gorgeous outdoors. Sitting on the floating porch while the rain came down was something we liked as well. We went hiking at a trail about 15 minutes away and tubing on the Deleware River also nearby. The spacious kitchen gave us room to cook together which we all enjoyed. The floating farmhouse was a perfect place to have a family get together!

Summary: The property is beautiful. The house is wonderful and well stocked with everything you might need. Tom is amazingly responsive and helpful. The kids rowed in the creek everyday, even during a surprise May snow! And managed to jump in the creek most days.

Summary: This house was a dream and the focal point of a magical weekend celebrating my best friend's bachelorette party. Tom was a pleasure to interact with -- he's extremely responsive and offers great suggestions about the area and things to do. We had an amazing time at the house and one of the highlights was using the wood burning pizza oven to make our very own personal pizzas (private chef Kristen was amazing btw!). The surrounding town is also adorable and we were able to enjoy a beautiful hike and a delicious brunch at The Heron. Highly recommend this house -- we would love to return in the future.

Summary: We had the pleasure of spending the weekend at the Floating Farmhouse, and it was FANTASTIC!!!! It was the perfect place to escape the city and celebrate my sister's bachelorette. The owner, Tom, was a dream to work with and made the entire process of renting a house and planning a weekend to remember incredibly seamless. The Floating Farmhouse was every bit as advertised. The property is absolutely beautiful and proved to be a restful retreat for our laid back group. The house was impeccably clean, spacious and inviting. If you love the modern farmhouse look, this is the place for you! We took full advantage of everything the house and the surrounding area had to offer, thanks to Tom's local attractions guide. I highly recommend private yoga in the barn with ChiHive studio, a private chef from Early Bird Cookery to experience farm to table cuisine, a concert at bethelwoods just a short 15 min drive up the road, hanging with alpacas at buck brook farm, enjoying a day out on Lake Superior in pink glitter paddle boats and dining at delicious restaurants (the heron & launderette) in Narrowsburg overlooking the Delaware River. We loved the Floating Farmhouse so much that we are already planning a trip to go back again next year!

Summary: Tom was a dream from the beginning to the end of the process, hooking our group up with the amazing Kristin who became our chef for the weekend and a fast friend, as well as the wonderful Susan of the Chi Hive for a spiritual end to a debaucherous and wonderful weekend in a beautiful home. It was a special weekend for my sister and she said it was the best weekend of her life - mission accomplished! Thank you Floating Farmhouse!

Summary: This is the second time we have stayed at Tom’s Floating Farmhouse, and we had an even better time than we did the first time! He has updated a few things around the home, including renovating the beautiful barn (perfect for weddings, dinner party settings, or just enjoying the view). His taste level is an impeccable balance between clean, modern simplicity with the touch of “farmhouse antiques” you would expect in the Catskills. He expanded the creek to create the perfect size swimming-hole to enjoy on a hot sunny day. The waterfall seemed to be the main attraction with our crew to stand under for a nice water massage! The house is so spacious and is ideal for large parties. Each room has it’s own cozy setting, so you do not feel like you are on top of each other. In our group of ten, each person could escape to their own area without being disturbed! As our trip was a work creative retreat, this was ideal for us to spend time together- and apart. The amount of love and hard work that is constantly put into the house is clearly visible! Tom’s home is not just a wonderful place to stay, but extremely inspiring.

Summary: I organized a retreat and strategy session for my team and opted for the peace and beauty of the Catskills. When I found Floating Farmhouse, it was a dream come true—gorgeous design that made our time there extra special, huge kitchen that we used to make delicious artisan pizzas, and finally, great responsive communication from Tom, the owner, who made planning easy. Thank you again Tom, and we will be back!
