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.

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".

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.

Wonderful getaway

This was a wonderful getaway for my husband and I. The apartment is clean and lovely and private. The property is beautiful and peaceful - we enjoyed rowboating at the lake, seeing the horses, and hiking to the scenic lookout point. We also enjoyed walking in town and checking out their restaurants. Tom and Laura were very friendly and helpful. Would love to come back again!

Peaceful getaway in Rapids Waters with an amazing view at the lake surrounded by very tall trees and beautiful nature. Everything about this place was outstanding from beginning to end Laura and Tom were always ready to help and answer any questions. If you are looking for a break from the city this is a must!!

Close Seclusion

Rippling Waters is a great place to go if you want to experience the simple beauty of nature with the comfort of a home. The property is large enough so that each of the lodging accommodations have their own world and appeal - but they are all brought together by the stone walls and meandering paths that reflect the skilled hands that tamed this beautiful section of New York.

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

Magical Oasis of horses and boats!

It was lovely from the second we checked in! Laura and Tom greeted us and it was wonderful to get to know them a little better and hear about their background and the history of the land! The carriage house was sparkling clean and the towels were white and fluffy. We spent the day hiking to the overlook, sitting by the lake, taking out the boats, petting the horses, and cooking back at the house. Wonderful experience, and highly recommend! Would love to return when the big white house is done being renovated with more friends and family!

Like spending the weekend in a movie...

Tom and Laura's exquisite property was the ideal Fall getaway. If I could have written a movie script about our weekend, I could not have described a more beautiful scene than their property: vibrant fall foliage reflected in a pond, leaf-strewn paths, a blue heron taking flight, horses grazing beside a stately barn. It sounds too good to be true, but the good news is it IS actually true! The house was warm and cozy - perfect for our family of 4. We will be dreaming about this place during the cold winter months!

Idyllic and relaxing getaway

Laura & Tom's property is completely unique and made for a wonderful getaway! They have acres to explore, including a private lake that we enjoyed one day on the row boat. The hike up to Lookout Point cannot be missed! Seeing the horses grazing each day and the geese out on the grass made us forget all of our big city woes. Going in fall was a great choice as we got to see all the beautiful foliage, though I'm sure the property is gorgeous year-round. The carriage house is great, exceptionally clean, and has everything you might need. We especially loved the gas fireplace in the living room - so cozy! The hosts were quick to respond to any issues and were extremely accommodating and friendly. We hope to return someday with a group and rent one of the bigger homes on their property!

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. .

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 !!

Best vacation in a long time

Laura and Tom were wonderful hosts, responding quickly to every request, even providing a great array of DVDs to watch. Although everything was beautifully set up, so not many requests were needed. The property is beautiful and very tranquil. While there is a small town nearby with anything you need . All of the lodgings are very private. The night skies were amazing. We both enjoyed swimming and just reading by the lake and I loved feeding Foxy and her friends. There are plenty of trails on the property for those with a little more energy than we had. We are planning to return next summer. Thank you both very much. Connie

Peaceful, relaxing, refreshing getaway!

Thanks to Laura and Tom, we had the best last-minute getaway we could ask for! Not only we escaped from NYC for fresh air but we also got the chance to boat ride at the lake, hike and ride one of the smartest, strongest and most friendly horses in the world, Foxy. The cottage was clean, comfortable, beautiful and cozy. The view from the balcony was exceptional. We used to sit there for breakfast, coffee, board games and we had the time of our lives with the sounds of nature. Moreover, we enjoyed making dinner outside on the barbeque by the lake and sitting around the campfire, wrapped with blankets under the stars gazing. It was a real pleasure getting to know the owners and learn about their vision for this hidden heaven. We personally keep our fingers crossed that this will come to life soon. We are definitely going back to create more lifetime memories!

beautiful & private retreat - perfect for weekend getaway -but one thing to note about the rental

fantastic place, tons of property for hours of hiking, beautiful lake & surroundings, all in all - wonderful the only thing you should be aware of is that there is a picture of an adorable cottage ON THE LAKE in the video. That is NOT where you will be staying. the apartment for rent is ABOVE THE GARAGE in the BACK of the main house, so this is NOT on the water. i was a bit disappointed by that and felt slightly misled, but i sincerely doubt that was intentional. i got over it very quickly though because the property is fantastic!! the bed could use an upgrade as well, but it was sufficient
