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.
This luxury farm sleeps a total of 12 people (this includes infants & children…we do not accommodate more than 12 total). Complete with 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, this home offers solace as well as opportunities to gather in the massive gourmet kitchen-living area. There are 4 queen, 1 king, and 2 twin sized pillow-top beds. You will wake up to fresh pastoral country air and have a farm fresh breakfast with eggs from our chickens, hike, kayak, paint, cook or just do nothing! Afterall, 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, antiques, old fashioned meat market, custard ice cream and specialty foods. The market sits on River Road which overlooks the historic Delaware River and is the host of Sullivan County’s “best of” farmer’s market located in the back yard of River Market (June-Oct).
The only cell service we get at the farm is Verizon. Just in case. Our internet phone line has free long distance anywhere in the USA.
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

We have rented all over the world....this rental had everything we needed. The setting, the kitchen, the spotlessness and the peaceful vibe were all for the taking. We went kayaking on the Delaware river and saw eagles and then had a lovely lunch and custard ice cream at The River Market in Barryville, NY. Clearly whomever designed this home knew what they were doing. A+
Recommended for:Adventure seekers, girls getaway, sightseeing, families with young children, families with teenagers.
