Enjoy summer nights on the deck of this stylish, modern ranch and all you'll hear are the creek, the crickets, and the occasional owl. Located 10 minutes from the restaurants and shops of Callicoon, NY, you can easily buzz to town for provisions and camraderie and then return to your private sanctuary off a quiet road. An open main living area is full of light: kitchen, dining area, and living room all flow together, and sliders to the full-length deck make for easy outdoor dining and entertaining. Living room has a 1970s wood-burning stove. Beautiful cork floors throughout the house are great for going barefoot. There are two bedrooms and one bath, making this a comfortable rental for a couple with kids or a couple and friends. There is a washing machine and a dishwasher, satellite wireless internet; and large deck and beautiful lawn with its own firepit for BBQs. The property is set up off the road and sits within 11 acres of woodland, a lawn and an apple orchard. It is minutes from swimming and kayaking in the Delaware River.
