PLEASE NOTE: Our backyard is being restored to a native habitat. A local non-profit organization, the Ashokan Watershed Stream Management Program, selected the BelleHouse for a project called the "Catskill Streams Buffer Initiative." They planted trees, shrubs, and wildflowers to create a wild meadow habitat and to return our creekside to a native state. The non-profit also built walking paths to the creek and to the fire pit, which can now be enjoyed in a more pristine, natural environment.
