Rippling Waters was a Wonderful Relaxing Retreat

Our Family had a enjoyable time staying at Rippling Waters. Laura and Tom were wonderful hosts at their beautiful property. We loved spending time star gazing on the porch and sitting by the lake. It was an amazing relaxing time away. We would highly recommend staying here.

Nature and Peace

This property is a delight. I needed to get away from my NYC apartment after months of pandemic isolation. This retreat ticked all the boxes. Plentiful trails and forest and open pasture and lakeside to wander, without a mask, because no one else is around! Also, I am very picky about cleanliness, especially now, and Carriage House was spotless. Very comfortable and cozy, plenty of sunshine, all essentials....perfect. Owners are very easygoing and communicate well. Every step of the way was a pleasure and I definitely want to return in the summer so I can enjoy swimming in the gorgeous and huge lake. All the stars !!

Beautiful sanctuary

Tom & Laura’s compound is a really special place. The carriage house is lovely and airy. We cooked and played games and slept soundly. Between the lake, the trails in their private woods, and visiting with the horses, you could vacation here and never leave the property. We fished (successfully) in the lake, hiked the trails and saw lots of Catskills flora and fauna: groundhogs, grouse, songbirds, plus all the mosses, lichens and fungi in the woods. It’s close to a bunch of other hikes - we went to Palmer Hill in Andes one day. When it was raining we drove down the road to the many bookstores of Hobart. It’s such a peaceful place and the hosts are welcoming and thoughtful. And I’m sure it’s amazing in every season.

Awesome Vacation

We had an awesome vacation at Laura and Tom’s. It’s a slow and relaxed vacation. We have a 1 year old and 4 year old. We played in the sand box, fed the horses, fished in the lake, swam and hiked the small mountain they have. We also brought plenty of entertainment from home like bubbles and floaty toys and fun toys that we hid in the sand box. We brought crafts and baked and relaxed. The one bedroom cottage was perfect for an exploring 12 moNth old as there was not too much that we had to child proof. Laura supplied a high chair which helped too. We loved it there and we would go back in a heartbeat. Everyone had a great time in the gorgeous setting. Also everything was super clean and Tom and Laura went out of there way to make us feel comfortable even buying us some groceries before our stay and some worms for fishing during our stay. You will love it there.

Paradise

Laura and Tom are very friendly and accommodating. We arranged to see their horses and had some great conversation. Their property is beautiful and was able to do a short hike. The lake is gorgeous, unfortunately we didn’t get to use the paddle boats as it was raining but it was a super peaceful clean place to stay.

Lovely dwelling and property

My wife and I stayed at Rippling Waters for two nights in early August. The cabin is a lovely, luxurious getaway for two, with an airy living room, wood floors, well appointed kitchen and modern furnishings. The extensive property has several dwellings, including a barn, where Laura, one of our hosts, graciously showed us her three horses--a treat! We took a lovely fifteen-minute hike up a hill to a beautiful overlook and peered down at morning mist shrouding the town of Delhi, a ten-minute drive away. There's a completely private lake on the premises. We didn't take advantage of the canoe, kayak or paddle boat, but I did go for a couple of nice swims--avoiding weedy spots. The lake is a bit murky and the bottom not the best for wading barefoot Tom and Laura, our hosts, were particular about greeting us at check-in; arranging this required our sending several text messages beginning the day before our arrival. Once we'd sorted out the check-in, Tom and Laura were eager to give us very helpful information about the surrounding area, local restaurants, etc. Overall, our stay was pleasant, hospitable--and even memorable.

Great Stay

When we were looking for a quiet place to spend a few days, we came across Tom and Laura's "Rippling Waters". It is 400 acres of nature in all its splendor, with a large spring-fed lake as the focal point. Needless to say, we were quite happy with our decision to stay. Tom was very pleasant upon our arrival, and gave us helpful suggestions regarding restaurants and other activities in town, including the farmers market. After spending three nights, we found it difficult to leave. If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful, and relaxing few days, we heartily recommend staying at "Rippling Waters".

Peaceful getaway in Rapids Waters with an amazing view at the lake surrounded by very tall trees and beautiful nature.

Relaxing, close to nature and wonderful!

Laura and Tom's carriage house apartment was exactly what Jenny and I were looking for. Tranquil! Don't miss out on the scenic overlook (a short hike away). Don't forget to bring a gift for Buddha! We saw deer, turtles, chipmunks, groundhogs and vultures. In the lake, we caught many fish (easy to catch!) including large-mouth bass, perch, sunfish and a catfish. The stars and fireflies at night-time were magical. The 3 Friesian horses were so majestic and friendly! The carriage house apartment was clean and efficient. We look forward to returning. .

A Hidden Gem!

We had such a relaxing, fun time here! It's definitely a special place and so glad we found it. Tom and Laura were so accommodating, helpful with information, and everything was as promised on the posting...even better actually. If you are looking for a peaceful, private getaway, this is your spot. The property is gorgeous, the horses are amazing, and the lake w boats are just what we were looking for. Even with some rain throughout the time, we still had so much to see and do on the property and the surrounding areas. Our 4 year old had a lot to explore just in the yard and the hiking was right out your back door....It's nice to have such a huge property to run around on. A perfect getaway from Brooklyn. Delhi is a cute town with everything you need...especially the farmers market on Wednesdays (thanks for the reco Tom & Laura :). Supermarkets, pharmacy, and restaurants/coffee shops, downtown only a few minute drive away. We will definitely be looking to stay here again and highly recommend! Josh, Kirstin, Marilyn, and Adler

We went to the area for some much needed relaxation - and this property definitely fit the bill! The carriage house porch looks onto a pasture of wild flowers, the walking paths lead to a beautiful lookout, we hung out around the lake and watched birds hunting fish, and celebrated Foxy’s birthday with Tom and Laura. We would love to come back next year with our grandkids because they would love it, too!

Hidden gem in the Catskills area

Laura and Tom were wonderful hosts, very helpful in helping us navigating the area and guidance with things to do in the property and the surroundings. There is a beautiful hike in the 400 acres of private property and other things to do like boating/kayaking and located near small towns with access to almost anything you might need for a short stay. Its a wonderful getaway from the city in a calm and peaceful environment middle of nature. We’d love to visit again hopefully when the weather is nicer to do more hikes and boating
