Cozy French Woods Cottage, Pond and Pool

***Our Winter Special is returning! Come for 3 nights and stay the 4th night for free! Just book for 3 nights and we will add the 4th. Happy Winter!***

Within 13 miles of charming Callicoon on the Delaware sits this private, renovated Cottage in the French Woods area south of Hancock, with a gorgeous pond with island, and a swimming pool with a friendly carpeted deck, truly a paradise for children. The expansive deck around the cottage provides beautiful views of surrounding French Woods Farm and the countryside. There is a BBQ and a ping-pong table for friendly competition! Uncle Joe's Cottage at French Woods Farm has two bedrooms, one with a queen sized bed and a comfortable day bed, and the other bedroom has a freestanding twin, and a double with a twin bunk. Two full baths, a living room with another day bed and a wood stove for cool nights, a kitchen with counter seating and a separate dining area round out the picture. The split system with units in both bedrooms and in the great room provides air conditioning and heating. The Delaware River is just 5 miles away where you can enjoy river activities at the Lordville Public Access. A short drive will take you to Hancock for shopping, restaurants, movie theater and more.

Visit the Callicoon Farmer's Market year-round on Sundays, 11-2pm at Callicoon Creek Park and stock up on fresh produce, fruits, breads, pastries, and cheeses. The Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, the original site of the 1969 Woodstock Festival, is just a 30 minute drive away. Or play a round of golf at the French Woods Golf Course just a mile south on Route 97. Take a ride on the Upper Delaware Scenic Byway, which is Route 97, as it extends from Hancock to Port Jervis, and visit the Roebling Bridge and other historic places and museums along the way. Or spend an afternoon with a river guide and learn how to fly fish. There are nice hiking opportunities nearby. Get ready for the most striking views of the Delaware River Valley from famous Jensen's Ledges.

Summer camps such as French Woods Camp, Camp IHC, Camp Equinunk, Camp Blue Ridge, and others in northern Wayne County, are all within 2-10 miles or less, as is a lovely wedding venue, Handsome Hollow, on quaint Delaware Route 28 outside of Fishs Eddy, NY.

Don't forget to pack your life jackets for pool, pond and river activities. We do not provide boats or any other water apparatus, and recreation is at your own risk. There is a river outfitter in Hancock where you can rent kayaks and canoes.

*****We offer a 10% discount if you stay for 7 nights or more. While we do not want your dog to have to go to a kennel and encourage you to bring the pup along, cleaning the house requires more time and the cleaning fee increases by $30.*****
During your stay at this cottage, you'll be close to Peas Eddy Island. Features include an outdoor pool. The cottage includes amenities such as free WiFi and a private pool.
  • Air-conditioned cottage with private pool, kitchen, and washing machine
  • Free WiFi

Quiet, secluded, home away from home
Exactly what my family needed, clean, quiet, fun and exciting property to explore. House had everything we needed and movie selection was a hit with the kids. So much wildlife to appreciate, deck sitting for relaxing, big screens for vedging out. Had a great time and owners were very responsive and courteous. Stay with confidence, we’d go back 100%.

Blissful relaxation
Very clean and well kept. The only problem was the height of the master bed. I couldn’t get in it. Those smaller beds were kind of uncomfortable

The place was beautiful and full of nature. It has a very nice and enjoyable pool, a grill and it’s very close to town. The experience with friends over the weekend was very fun and the owners were very kind and on top of things when we needed anything!

Amazing Relaxing Country Getaway!
Uncle Joe and Rosie made us feel so comfortable and welcomed from the very first message until the very last minute of our stay. Uncle Joe was always ready to come out and meet us within minutes to address anything we needed. He was very attentive, he stopped by to check the pool and bring us some baked goods ! It was a true pleasure meeting such kind and thoughtful folks like them. We felt very comfortable considering we had never been there before . We went out to explore the town and saw local vendors on Saturday and supermarket Tops was very convenient . Uncle Joe encourage us to visit a near by farmers market and left us a $25 credit which we definitely used for goodies. The cottage its very nice , we cooked , we grilled all while enjoying the beautiful scenic view. We relaxed by the pool deck everyday and ended with an evening bonfire by the pond then movies in the cozy living room area. Definitely the city detox we needed.

Beautiful cottage surrounded by nature
Uncle Joe's cottage is a gem. My family and I rented this getaway for 4 nights and were blown away by just about every detail. The cottage has all modern amenities included heat, AC, big screen TVs, Internet, etc. The pool was great to beat the summer heat and the pond offered a beautiful view to sit and reflect. Our stay came with a $25 credit for baked goods at a nearby farm. We missed the opportunity to use it but Uncle Joe dropped by himself to deliver a snack from them. The property is close to Hancock Town center and a 20 minute drive to Calicoon which has an awesome farmers market on Sunday. All in all, we had a great time.

Everything we wanted and more
The property itself was just as cozy as listed but the photos, which showed such beautiful settings did not give justice to just how amazing the scenery really was. Absolutely stunning and peaceful location. Rosie and Joe were incredible with their communication and were right on top of a minor issue that occurred with the kitchen sink. All rentals should be this perfect !!!! Thanks again for the carrot cake and sticky buns Joe.. You're the best !!!!

Idyllic spot
The cottage was comfortable and well outfitted. “Uncle Joe” is a very generous host and made our stay special. Great fishing, swimming and bird watching in this bucollic spot. The kids had a ball and we loved the fire pit at night for campfire s’mores.

Upstate mini vacation
The house and property were exactly as pictured. The house was clean and had a brand new fridge, fire pit and ping pong table. Joe was excellent to deal with via text. We really had a nice time at the cabin. It is a super quiet area Joe was nice enough to supply us with fishing poles and lures so we could fish at the larger pond on the adjacent property. We also really enjoyed playing ping pong outside. I would highly recommend this property.
