The Perch offers a warm embrace to all who enter. With spacious interiors, stylish design, and thoughtful comforts, this chic escape is the perfect place to gather, relax, and reconnect. Whether you`re curling up by the fire, dining under the stars, or spending the day on the Delaware River just minutes away, The Perch is your serene and stylish home base in the Catskills.
Set across three levels, The Perch is all about easy elegance and open living. The main level features a sun-filled open plan kitchen, living, and dining space—each thoughtfully designed yet seamlessly connected for effortless entertaining and group connection.
The kitchen is a dream for home chefs: a fully equipped, professional-grade space with a gourmet range, ample prep areas, and everything you need to create a delicious meal. Just off the kitchen, the dining area is lined with windows that glow with afternoon light—perfect for long, lingering meals. A work nook with desk and chair also provides a quiet spot to catch up on emails if needed.
The living room invites you to sink in and stay a while, with plush seating, a large TV, and room for cozy movie nights or board games. A beautifully designed powder room rounds out the main floor.
Upstairs, you’ll find two airy and tranquil bedrooms—one with a king-sized bed and writing desk, the other with a queen—each thoughtfully appointed with quality linens and restful vibes. A large full bathroom with a bath/shower combo, stocked vanity, and lovely views of the nearby mountains completes the upper level.
Step outside to a spacious deck and partially covered porch with three distinct lounging and dining areas. Whether you`re enjoying morning coffee, evening cocktails, or grilling out with friends, the outdoor setup is made for good living. The porch overlooks a wide lawn and peaceful woodlands that roll gently down toward the fire pit—an ideal spot for stargazing or sharing stories late into the night.
One of The Perch’s most special features is its proximity to the Delaware River—just minutes away. Spend sunny days rafting, tubing, canoeing, kayaking, or fly fishing in one of the region’s most pristine natural playgrounds. Whether you`re looking for a mellow paddle or a more adventurous float, the Delaware offers it all. For those of you who like to ski, the house is only 18 miles from Ski Big Bear, Masthope Mountain, which is a great local family resort with 18 trails, 7 lifts and 3 Magic Carpet lifts.
The Perch is ideally located near the charming towns of Barryville and Eldred, both offering great local restaurants, antique shops, and bars. Don’t miss the Barryville Farmers Market, a beloved local favorite. Just 15 minutes away, Narrowsburg beckons with upscale boutiques, gourmet restaurants, art galleries, and stunning river views.
In winter, you`re just 18 miles from Ski Big Bear at Masthope Mountain, a fantastic family-friendly ski area with 18 trails, 7 lifts, and terrain for all levels.

PLEASE NOTE -
Cancellation and Insurance: We encourage all our guests to purchase travel insurance, whether through the OTA when offered at the time of booking, or through a third party. We cannot make any exceptions to our cancellation policy.
Utility Outages: As Upstate New York can see its’ fair share of inclement weather and is primarily a tree rich area with overhead power lines, please know we do not assume responsibility for utility outages during your stay. If electric, water or Wi-Fi service is impacted, we do not refund. Of course, if an outage were to persist for longer than 8 hours we would allow a cancellation without penalty.
Weather: During the winter months, there may be ice, snow, and hazardous conditions. We recommend driving a vehicle with AWD or 4WD. Please ask about the plowing schedule for the house. Most driveways are plowed at or before 3” of accumulation.
Animals and Pests: The house is in a rural environment and surrounded by countryside, farms and wildlife. Although it’s wonderful to observe the eagles, deer, bears, and adorable chipmunks, it can also mean you will hear coyotes and foxes at night, and encounter the less cute mice, flies, snakes, ants, bees and ticks. There is very little to be done about it, but by keeping doors closed or screened and food in its appropriate storage, unwelcome guests will stay outside where they belong. All our properties benefit from scheduled pest control, but we are in a natural environment and we can not fortify the houses or gardens completely.
Cleaning Guarantee: We are very proud of our housekeeping team who go beyond both Airbnbs General Cleaning Guidelines and Airbnb’s Enhanced Cleaning Process recommendations. Because of their hard work and high professional standards, we are able to guarantee our cleaning to our guests. We take time stamped video and photos of the cleaned property and do not refund for any small issues found during a stay. Should a guest feel that something is amiss or needs additional attention, we will have a housekeeper attend the home to take care of it within 12 hours of an issue being reported.
Rental Agreement: Please know that we require all guests to sign a rental lease agreement.
Pets: This property only allows dogs.
The house has 3 levels available to guests (lower basement level is laundry and a small snug) and may not be suitable for those who have difficulty with steps / stairs. There are fourteen (14) steps up to the front door.
Additional Fees: Depending on their requirements, guests will be subject to the following additional fees
Dog Fee - $100 per pet per stay
We look forward to welcoming you to The Perch!
