About this property

Bear Hill Farm, Delhi NY - Restored 1850 Farmhouse On Winding Country Lane

Located on a secluded, winding country road. Set among rolling fields and forests, surrounded by gardens, waterfall streams and stone walls the house is both rusticly simple and modern at the same time. A four season communion with nature.

Hand restored Greek Revival farmhouse. Gourmet kitchen with radiant heated hand cut local bluestone floor and cozy heating stove with full views of gardens through panoramic floor to ceiling windows. Two comfortable downstairs sitting rooms with original hand cut pine floors, one with woodburning stove and other with TV. Mahogony walled wet space with rainshower and huge windows allow you take 'outdoor' showers year round. Upstairs three bedrooms (1 king, 1 queen, 2 twins) study and bathroom with soaking tub.

Fieldstone patio with Weber BBQ, stone fire pit, covered side porch, streamside hammock, and many other restful spots throughout the grounds and outbuildings.

A secluded escape from hectic city life in the ecologically protected NYC watershed (this is the water we drink.) Streams and wetlands afford abundant wildlife watching. Eagles soar overhead and coyotes howl at night. On a clear night gaze at the Milky Way and watch the shooting stars fall to earth.

Great hiking year round and skiing at Plattekill and Belleayre in the winter. Cooperstown and the All Star Village are both short antique, wine and cheese shop lined drive away (via college town Oneonta) and SUNY Delhi maintains beautiful hiking trails and a world class golf course nearby.

A great place to get away from it all with some friends or family, especially for those who love to cook. Explore the local villages and farms by day and share a home cooked meal or enjoy the local restaurants at night.

Perfect for weekend visit with friends
Bear Hill Farm is charming! Beautiful setting, lots of cool things in the house to look at at and enjoy (books, puzzles, well stocked with cooking tools). The grounds are special, beautiful lighting at night, a GREAT fire pit. Very nice to have a friendly caretaker nearby. Area scenery is breathtaking especially this time of year (early fall). Owner gives a fantastic guide to the property and area. One of the best vacation rentals I've experienced!

Wonderful trip!!
I can't say enough about our stay at the Bear Hill Farm! The house is immaculate and stylish, the grounds are beautiful, and the local caretaker is so nice and helpful. Our family had a lovely time, we wished we could have stayed longer! We definitely plan to stay here again in the future.

Lovely farmhouse!
We stayed at Bear Hill Farm in late June while our son’s team played baseball at Cooperstown All Star Village. We had an amazing week! The home was absolutely lovely, exactly as advertised in the photos. Comfortable, clean, artsy, woodsy, and full of antique charm, all while being very roomy and modernized. We felt lucky to have found this charmer! Host and caretaker were both very attentive and sweet. Thank you!!

Great place for a Catskills getaway.
This was our third visit to this house and another great stay. This time we hit it in peak fall leaf season and the natural beauty everywhere was incredible: We enjoyed many long walks, lounged by the waterfalls and cooked great meals on the grills. We appreciated the new king size bed in the master, the home made strawberry rhubarb jam was both thoughtful and delicious and Jeff and Jeff were great hosts again. If you are looking for a great getaway in a beautiful historic home in a peaceful setting look no further. Thanks again Jeff and Jeff.

Charming but old…
Just like the listing said, it is a very charming farmhouse on beautiful grounds. The kitchen was nicely redone with modern appliances. But the interior designing was not to my taste, very old, mix matched styles throughout. My biggest concern was the main bathroom’s walls. The wall paper is completely peeling off, exposing the wood walls. The old paper pictures taped on with painters tape was also peeling off and very poorly done. The stairs are also steep with short steps. The interior could definitely use some upgrades to modernize the charming farmhouse.

Great quiet getaway
This house is amazing. Built in the 1850s it is a very cute home! The neighborhood is amazing and quiet. Plenty of space outside to play and entertain. The home is occupied and lived in so there are plenty of amenities in the home. Unfortunately there is no washer and dryer, so that would be the only downfall of the property. Jeff, the house assistant was very nice and accommodating when we showed up and before we left. I would highly recommend staying here to my friends and family.

A Gem in the Catskills!
We rented Bear Hill Farm for a reunion weekend in nearby Oneonta. We wanted a place to escape from the organized activities with the mob. The house is a delight: wide plank floors, large bedrooms and bathrooms, and the most well-stocked kitchen we have ever seen. It was truly a joy to cook in this kitchen and to dine on the gorgeous glasstop table. Lots of great spaces for reading, conversing, andenjoying the garden views.

Bearhill Farm ❤
Bearhill Farm is a little slice of heaven. Nestled in the mountains and situated on your own private arboretum with a babbling brook and waterfalls -- this is the place to relax and find inner peace. The house is well appointed, cozy, rustic, artsy and modern all at the same time. Beautiful kitchen -- Jeff left us a welcoming bottle of Prosecco and homemade mint jelly -- and views to die for of the beautiful yard. We enjoyed our coffee on the porch every morning. Even though it rained one day, it was still romantic to sit on the porch and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Jeff the owner and Jeff the Caretaker made sure our stay was perfect from check-in to check-out. The bed was comfortable and the sheets and blanket were soft and luxurious. I really cannot say enough good things about this special home. We definitely want to come back!! Thank you, Jeff ❤

Excellent Home & Location
Jeff E. was a wonderful host and his property manager Jeff B. was just charming and incredibly helpful. Everyone insured that we had a great stay, made adjustments as necessary, and communication was always efficient and timely. The location of the house is absolutely stunning with a small stream that runs by the house that you can enjoy a hot cup of coffee at in the winter months and I imagine is quite delightful in the summer months as well. The decor in the house is very done very thoughtfully and include many wonderful light fixtures. The kitchen is just gorgeous and perfect for upstate. Thanks for having us!

Incredible fall experience in the loveliest of homes
I have just returned from a wonderful fall weekend at the Bear Hill Farm and I already cannot wait to be back. The property is tucked into a lovely corner of the Catskills, with so much beauty and nature around. The house has everything and more one could hope for. We spent a lot of the weekend cooking in the incredibly well-stocked kitchen. We had a lovely fire going, both outdoors on a pleasant evening and indoors on a cold, wet night. The beds were very comfortable and the whole house just oozed with charm. Jeff, the homeowner, was very responsive and extremely kind and considerate of our requests. Jeff, the caretaker, checked in on us and made sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a relaxing trip away from their busy lives.

Cooperstown All Star Village week
We really enjoyed BHF. It is about a 30 min. Drive to CASV through dairy farms and beautiful Americans landscapes. We enjoyed being a little farther out for the chaos of baseball week and the property is really nice. It is a rustic farmhouse that has been meticulously maintained. The yard is gorgeous and relaxing. We would highly recommend it. We left one of our baseball pins on the wall for their collection. We did get to explore Delhi snd neighboring towns. Very cool. Thanks Jeff for a lovely, easy stay in the Catskills.

We loved our stay at Bear Hill Farm
We stayed at Bear Hill Farm the week our son played baseball at All Star Village. It was wonderful. The house is a beautifully restored farmhouse a lot of character. There was a bottle of Prosecco and a jar of jam waiting for us, which was such a nice touch. The caretaker, Jeff, checked in on us a few times. He is a very friendly person and we enjoyed hearing stories about the house and property when he stopped by. We loved the creek with 2 waterfalls out back which we could hear with the windows open at night. There were plenty of high quality towels in the upstairs bathroom and in each bedroom. The beds were comfortable with high quality linens. There was no air conditioning but it was not missed. There were fans in each bedroom but we didn't need to use them. The drive to All Star Village was 20-25 minutes but we looked forward to it because there were such pretty views on the way there. There is no cell service on the drive down so be sure to have the address of your destination before leaving the house. Wi-Fi calling worked perfectly while in the house. We would love to stay at Bear Hill Farm again in the future.

Can't Wait To Get Back
Had an incredible stay at the Bear Hill Farm. We stayed here while our son played at All Star Village. Our only disappointment was not getting to spend more time at the house. We always looked forward to getting a chance to get back and relax after the games. Can't recommend enough. Jeff, the owner, was great in his communication and Jeff, the caretaker, made us feel right at home.

Cooperstown All Star Village stay
My husband and I stayed here for a week with our kids, ages 13, 8, and 4, while our 13 year old played at Cooperstown All Star Village. I was a little concerned about the distance from Oneonta, but it wasn't a problem at all. The drive is 20-25 minutes, and it's a delight - winding country roads past red barns with no traffic. The very well-equipped kitchen allowed us to eat well during our stay, and the expansive property provided a tranquil place for down time between games and a place for the younger kids to play. I was also nervous about the lack of laundry facilities at the house, but there is a clean, very friendly laundromat close to the ball park - Clinton Plaza Laundry - that provides same-day laundry service, which worked beautifully. We very much enjoyed getting to know the helpful, kind, and knowledgeable caretaker, Jeff Bird. Cooperstown was amazing, and this property made our visit all the more special. Thank you, both Jeffs!

Great house
We rented this house while our son played at All Star Village. It is a about a 25 minute drive to the fields. The house was very clean and well stocked. Beds were comfortable which was so nice after the long days at the baseball fields. We saw deer, woodchucks, beaver, foxes and lots of fire flies. Overall we very much enjoyed our stay here.

The house is absolutely beautiful and it is situated on the most peaceful country road and property. There is a small brook that runs through the lawn and is so calming to listen to. We really enjoyed morning coffee on the front porch, and evenings by the fire. The kitchen is the perfect space to entertain, and everything was incredibly clean. Thank you very much for having us!
