We had a lovely one night stay at Nine River Road. It’s such a thoughtful property. The communal places include a gorgeous fireplace, cozy sitting areas, a big bright kitchen, and a lovely back porch. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable. What made this place so special is the personal touch from the house manager, Roisin. Before we arrived, Roisin made sure to connect with us so we had all the relevant details for our stay, she greeted us when we arrived and gave us great recommendations for dinner. She made us an incredibly delicious breakfast the next morning and we ended up chatting with her for awhile - we so enjoyed meeting her and she really made our stay a special one. This is a gem of a property, and Callicoon is our new favorite charming, quaint town.

Had a wonderful stay at Nine River Road! Warmest welcome (kudos for warm donuts!) and hospitality from Roisin who is a gem! She is so helpful, not intrusive and so lovely we feel like we made a new friend! We have been coming to this area for decades and finding this hidden gem is a gift! The walk into town is a pleasure as are the quaint shops/restaurants/bars etc. to enjoy! The rooms are so comfortable as are the living spaces with a cozy fireplace, games and lots of places to relax and unwind. And, outside is a wonderful fire pit to enjoy s’mores right along the Delaware river! Perfect weekend stay! Can’t wait to come back!

Very happy with our stay! A quick trip from Pennsylvania but still felt like a get away. Our house manager was so friendly and took the best care pampering and spoiling us with a room upgrade, friendly hospitality and the best breakfast with local farm fresh groceries. The house is so cozy and comfortable with lots of space. Big porches and outdoor firepit for relaxing. The location was right near all the shops and restaurants. A nice summer walk or a quick ride to the center of town. There is parking in town right in the middle. We will definitely be back and bring our friends!

Nine River Road is a beautiful nine room hotel located in Callicoon, New York; the Catskills. The outdoor spaces include a firepit, Adirondack chairs, hammock, dining tables, and a screened in porch. During the day, you’ll see different types of birds, hawks, and birds of prey that you can take a closer look at through the complimentary binoculars available for viewing as well as deer and chipmunks that frolic around the property which is just a short walk from the Delaware river. At night, the string of lights provide a warm, inviting atmosphere in which to enjoy the complimentary S’mores on the firepit and take in the stars as they seem to shine so magically clear and bright in the upstate New York sky. Inside the house, you’ll find a quaint country kitchen with a large wooden kitchen table to accommodate guests for meals and refreshments throughout the day. The complimentary breakfast consists of coffee, tea, bagels, fresh lemon water, English muffins, apple turnovers, oatmeal, assorted jams and spreads, and fresh fruit. A little smaller than I expected, but still delicious! The guest rooms all have their own type of rustic charm. My room included two cozy sitting chairs, a comfy queen bed with white linens and a round serving tray placed near the foot of the bed with complimentary water, a separate wash room, and stand up shower. In the main areas, there are plenty of couches and chairs where you can enjoy board games, some old school rock and roll and/or classical music on the record player, read a book, engage in some good conversation, or simply listen to the sounds of the crickets just outside the beautiful window walls. It’s also a two minute walk to town where there are several delicious choices for coffee, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and drinks. Some of my favorites included Callicoon Cafe, The Kitchen Table Cafe, The Creek House Grill, and The Western Hotel. Black Walnut also looked like a great spot, which was unfortunately not open during my stay. Some of the businesses in this area are open only on weekends. In other words, I had an amazing time at Nine River Road and highly recommend it to others!
