The Farm Escape is a serene luxury residence located 2 hours from New York City on the border of Pennsylvania and NY State in Shohola, PA. Shohola is Native American meaning peace and tranquility. This property is situated on 5 pastoral acres, overlooking the Catskills of New York. The Farm Escape is a newly renovated 1866 boarding house which was historically used to board patrons of the former Shohola Falls Glenn amusement park which, in its hey day, brought thousands of people each weekend at the turn of the century.

Complete with 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, this home offers solace as well as opportunities to gather in the massive gourmet kitchen-living area. There are 3 queen, 1 king, and 3 twin sized pillow-top beds. You will wake up to the sounds of horses and chickens, have a farm fresh breakfast, hike, kayak, paint, cook or just do nothing! After all, we all retreat in different ways.

Nearby, in Barryville NY (4 minutes from The Farm Escape), is a spectacular award winning country store River Market, which boasts a stupendous gourmet deli, fish and meat market, specialty foods as well as movie rentals, gifts and filling station. The market sits on River Road which overlooks the historic Delaware River.

A word about cell phones. The only cell service we get is Verizon. Just in case. Make certain you purchase a phone card (available at River Market) as you can only make local calls on our line.

Once you have arrived at the residence you will be greeted by your host and oriented to the home. Should you need advice on area activities there is a three-ring book at the house filled with suggestions and directions.

Please know that we attempt to accommodate reservations. The earlier you reserve the better. Renter Reviews
