THE PROPERTY:
Unplug and walk down to the large private pond, or venture further down through our cornfields on marked paths to the Delaware River - it is 2/10th of a mile from the house. You can also hike the private marked trails on the property (look for the map on the wall of the first floor). Bring your fishing poles, light a fire in the pit by the pond, and spend the day catching fish.

Or stay by the house and throw the ball or play corn hole on our large lawn. And don't forget to play wildlife bingo!

We are equipped with a Generac whole home generator so you never have to worry about losing power while you stay with us.

We are dog friendly, but do not allow cats (the owner is allergic). No smoking in the house, no large parties, and we ask that you keep the noise level down after 10pm.

We are centrally located:
3 min to the Milanville General Store (it has everything!)
5 min to Cochecton (great wine shop and restaurant)
9 min to Callicoon
15 min to Narrowsburg
20 min to Bethel (good concerts)
30 min to Honesdale PA
30 min to Masthope for Skiing - Ski Big Bear
40 min to Livingston Manor and Monticello

Other things to note:
There is very little cell service on the property. We have excellent Wifi and recommend using the wifi cell service when you arrive.

The river, pond, and streams have no lifeguards. The river can rise up onto the property. Be aware and interact with the river at your own risk. Please note that the river is located 2/10th of a mile from the house. It is a wide marked trail to the river, but it is a walk. The water you see from the house is the pond.

We are not responsible for the weather, including but not limited to snow and ice. Guests must take their own precautions and navigate weather at their own risk. We HIGHLY recommend a front wheel drive or 4 wheel drive vehicle during the winter months.

Above and Beyond
The pictures do not do the property justice. It is absolutely beautiful, and the only thing that surpasses it is the hospitality of the owner. The attention to detail in every part of our stay is the reason we will definitely be going back!

Peaceful...but full of delightful fun!
From the moment we arrived and overlooked the property, I believe we turned into different people. So relaxing. So much to do to have fun or just chill. I over packed!! Anna supplied practically everything you need with the exception of your own clothes (remember there is a washer and dryer) and food. We brought our own Thanksgiving dinner. Although, we woke the next day to at least 50 turkeys! Anna decorated a mixture of Thanksgiving and Christmas together so beautifully. Although I took many videos and pictures of everything I loved, the map of the property is my favorite. If you have a dog, they have everything you need for your doggie. The visit that will warm my heart forever is that our dog, Vienna, was off leash the whole time and was beyond happy. That's what its all about! Remember to pack your muck boots - they come in handy. Wrapping it up - we had the most beautiful light snow to wake up to. The silence brought tranquility and everything else in life just doesn't matter anymore. Thank you Anna!

Excellent property & location
Beautiful, clean, organized & seriously well stocked kitchen. So much attention to detail, including providing all the things necessary to make staying at Pond & Perch with our 3 dogs a supremely comfortable experience. Again, so many little details that made it just a lovely stay. The grounds are so well kept without being too fussy, retaining the wild feel of the property. Just beautiful & peaceful. The dogs loved running off leash through the woods to the pond. I highly, highly recommend Pond & Perch, especially if you love vacationing with your dog/s.

We will be forever renters at Pond and Perch!
This is the second time we stayed at pond and perch and it was as beautiful as the first time. The owner is always so accommodating and constantly ensures you have what you need to have the best stay. We are already planning to come back again.

About the host

Hosted by Anna Vanderslice

Host profile image
Empty nest-er who loves traveling with her husband and extended family (when they can make it). We work hard, but love to relax and settle into the local patterns when we go away. Having a home as our base is key, and we prefer the low key lifestyle as opposed to resorts.

I love gardening, swimming, wine, family, friends, music, hiking, and a great book...but not necessarily in that order!

Why they chose this property

We knew as soon as we walked the land, and we are grateful stewards of the property! It is private, inviting, and enjoyable. This is a place we go to relax, it's for our friends and family to gather, and it is our chance to reconnect with nature and each other. We also choose to share this with you because it's too magical to keep to ourselves. It is a wild space, but one that can weave into your heart and leave great memories. We hope you choose to visit soon.

What makes this property unique

Our property offers the comfort of a lovely home, with the private expanse of property for you to unwind and explore. Walk to the right of the house and hike through the Black Walnut forest down to the stream. Walk to the left of the house and follow the trail to a beautiful private vista within the Pine Grove...and another stream. Walk down the main path to the pond where you can kayak, fish, or just look out for wildlife. Pack a picnic and some chairs into the wagon and take the walk beyond the pond, through the corn fields, and down to the Delaware where you can spend the day floating the river, fishing, and exploring. Dogs and Kids will wear themselves out on this property! If you don't want to venture far from the house, you can sunbathe on the top deck, play yard games, light a fire, play some music and relax. You will find it hard to leave, but if you do we are centrally located between three great towns (Callicoon, Narrowsburg, and Honesdale) and you are centrally located to explore both NY and PA.
