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. 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!! Thank you for the wonderful hospitality we can’t wait to be back.

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. .

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!

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

Relaxing get away
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

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.

Our Best Place EVER.
We have done some Vrbo's in the past. & This one is the "BEST" place ever. It has all the amenity's in one place. We had an Amazing time away from the stresses of life. The house feels pretty secluded. Laura & Tom are such wonderful people & were extremely attentive when needed and responded immediately when we had questions. The place is a lot nicer then the pictures shown. Great Hiking trails & Million Dollar Views all around. We cant wait to come back summer time to be out on the lake. This was exactly what we needed to spend quality time. We will definitely be back! & Recommend this place to anyone looking for a lovely Getaway!!!

Fabulous carriage house, on a Stunning property. Everything you need for a getaway
Fabulous carriage house, on a serene property. We loved our stay. The carriage house is well equipped with everything you need, big living space with tall ceilings. A nice comfortable bedroom with a nice bathroom. We were there in the winter, and the place was very cozy and warm with a gas fireplace. We were able to watch movies, play games and enjoy the beautiful scenery as it snowed outside. We had our own little outdoor area, plus, were able to go on beautiful walks all within the same property! We loved walking by and seeing the horses, Tom and Laura were outstanding hosts. We would revisit this property again, and recommend it to anybody looking for a nice getaway trip. Tom and Laura attended to all of our questions very promptly. We value privacy on our trips, and we felt like we really had our own space on the property.

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!

Great anniversary get-away
My husband and I spent a few nights in the Carriage House on the property.  We really enjoyed ourselves. We were welcomed by Laura and Tom, who were so kind and showed us around, they were available if we had any questions or concerns. We took a nice hike to Look Out Point on the property and took the canoe out on the lake. We enjoyed seeing Foxy and feeding the other horses. The town of Delhi was charming and we lucked out by getting to go to the Wednesday Farmers Market! Our stay was the perfect anniversary COVID get-away, we wouldn't hesitate to come stay again.

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 !!
