Cozy Country Farmhouse Along the Catskill Scenic Trail
Come enjoy a relaxing time in our cozy renovated country farmhouse located in the beautiful rolling hills of the northern Catskills. We're only about 3 1/2 hours from New York City, but are truly a world away!
For your group of six or less, our house has three bedrooms, 1 full bath and 1 half bath with a fully equipped kitchen featuring both a modern gas stove and a 1926 Glenwood cookstove. There's a dining room for evening meals and a cozy table by the wood stove in the kitchen. This is a house where you can put up your feet and just relax!
You'll find that our house is the perfect location for exploring the outdoors...whether by a walk or a bike ride on the Catskill Scenic Trail, a day trip to Cooperstown, or a night-time bonfire in the fire pit on the hill above the house. Or maybe you're just looking to relax? Settle in with a good book you picked out at one of the local used bookstores or watch that movie you been saving for a quiet day. So...lots to do if you want to....but only if you want to!

Super cute, cozy, clean farmhouse. Absolutely loved our stay here. Enjoyed playing a game of scrabble, and doing some exercises out in the sunroom. Wished the town of Hobart had a bit more going for it, but the house itself was fantastic

Just as advertised
The house was comfortable and quiet. The property was absolutely beautiful and the surrounding views were lovely. The kids and our dog had a great time running around. The owners were very nice the couple times we ran into them and came right over when we managed to lock ourselves out almost immediately after arriving! We had a great time.

Great authentic farm house in a beautiful setting
We had a wonderful, too short stay here. It is beautiful location. The owner had some farm-fresh eggs for us in the refrigerator when we arrived. It’s close to the “bookstore village” of Hobart and one of our favorite places to eat - The Brushland Eating House. The house was very cozy and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful escape from reality
My daughter wanted to visit the Hobart Book Village for her Christmas present, so I thought it would be nice to stay local and find a nice quiet get-away. The Rich Farmhouse is just that. The driveway was semi-circle shaped so there was no need to worry about backing in and out. The beds were so comfortable. I even had a down comforter on the queen bed. So cozy and warm. There were not many places around to eat that were open and we needed some good quality R&R, so we opted to cook at the house. Everything we could have imagine needing was available to our surprise. We made a nice pot of chili (it's December) and did buy containers to bring the rest home with us. There were a dozen farm fresh eggs provided for us in the fridge. What a nice touch! We made omelet's each day and wow, were they fantastic!!! Overall, the home was cozy and we were able to rest on the couches and read. My daughter even went hiking on the trail behind the house a few times. This place is a true gem. We will be back. I highly recommend.

Farmhouse in Hobart
I had a wonderful experience in my week at the Farmhouse. Ive stayed at a good number of rentals over the years, and this is one of the very best. The house is immaculate, and so efficiently thought out. Equally compelling are the grounds - and the close proximity to the beautifull Catskill Scenic Trail. I am eagerly anticipating my next trip to the Farmhouse.

Restful stay
Your location was serene and beautiful. We had a very busy weekend with family and friends but left your house emotionally refreshed.
The house brought the feeling of simpler times. Well furnished with comfy beds and everything a person could need during their stay.
The dozen eggs in the fridge was an added surprise and I think the best eggs I have ever had.
Can't wait for another reason to stay at Rich Farms.

Wonderful experience!
We had the best time! The house was clean with comfy beds, it had all the basic supplies we needed, and had a few fun games to play and interesting books to read during the evenings. The views were beautiful and we enjoyed exploring/walking on the property. The house was close to the bookstores in Hobart as well as delicious local restaurants. The Rich Farm farmhouse was a great place to stay. 😊

We have stayed here at least once a year for as long as I can remember. It is always clean and well stocked. Our family has so many precious memories in this house. We still refer to it as “the blue house” even though it has not been blue for a very long time.

Wonderful Stay in Hobart
We had a really nice trip to the Catskills planned, and had a great time at Barbara's home. The home was easy to find, the directions she gave were very thorough, and everything was clean/organized upon arrival. What questions we had prior to arriving were answered promptly and thoroughly.
We had everything we needed for ourselves and our little baby, and were even able to use the grill and walk around the property. The access to the Catskill Rail Trail cannot be beat, and it really is a perfect property for anyone wanting to get away for a few days.
Unfortunately we had to cut it short after one night due to a family emergency, but Barbara was very understanding and gave us a refund for the days we were unable to stay there. This was incredibly generous, and we definitely hope to be back soon.
