This tiny one-room cabin is located on Pleasant Valley Farm with its own large 4-acre fishing pond. Originally built as a duck blind, the 10 x 15 ft. off-grid cabin can easily accommodate two adults with a trundle daybed that doubles as a couch. An expansive covered porch, dock, gravel patio with picnic table, and an awesome stone firepit provide added outdoor living space. Tucked into a grove of trees, this is a very private place to relax, unwind, and go fishing, boating, or kayaking. Pleasant Valley Farm has grown to include two farms on 325 acres of rolling hills, woods, and pasture. The fishing pond spans 4 acres and is stocked with perch, bass, bullheads, crappies, and bluegills. Two kayaks and an old row boat are provided for guests to enjoy the pond. The Duck Blind is a seasonal, off-grid camping cabin located on a working beef cattle farm. While there isn't a bathroom, it has a comfortable outhouse. A Joolca on-demand water heater was installed in 2022 for hot showers and warm water for washing dishes. Soap, shampoo, and towels are provided as well as sunscreen, bug spray, and cleaning supplies. 30-gallons of water are stored at the cabin in food-grade barrels and bottles with more available at your request. Solar panels provide power for the lights. There is a Coleman stove for cooking, and a Weber charcoal grill for grilling. The kitchen area is stocked with everything you need for your stay including vinegar & oil, coffee, tea, sugar, spices, pots and pans, plates, cups, bowls, and cooking utensils. A 45-quart YETI cooler will keep your food and beverages chilled. A beautiful firepit was installed in 2021 with Adirondack chairs and plenty of firewood, kindling, and fire starters. The view of the pond from the firepit is a perfect place to hang out and enjoy the stars. We highly recommend 4WD/AWD to drive to and park at the cabin. This seasonal favorite of fisherman and boaters is available from May through September. Guests have full, exclusive use of the cabin and pond. This is a working farm. Please be respectful of farm animals and wildlife. No hunting. Guests should not use any farm equipment or vehicles. Please do not bring motorized off-road vehicles such as dirt bikes or 4-wheelers on the property. We are available via cell phone and email for anything you need. Please note: you may occasionally see cows or a farmer tending the farm. This beautiful countryside is perfect for taking long walks, bike riding, or taking a trip to nearby Callicoon for its awesome shops, restaurants, old movie theater, farmers market, and the Delaware River, or to visit historic Woodstock at Bethel Woods. Great places to visit and driving distance: North Branch Inn (2 miles), Callicoon and the Delaware River (5 miles), Jeffersonville (6 miles), Bethel Woods (15 miles), Roscoe (12 miles), Livingston Manor (15 miles), Narrowsburg (20 miles). You can park at the top by the road and hike down to the cabin. If you have 4WD, you can drive down. Either way, there is plenty of space to park. During chilly weather, a wood stove is the only heat source with plenty of firewood provided. In 2021, we added new 12" LUCID mattresses with 100% cotton sheets and thermal blankets. All bed linens (including blankets, quilts, and shams) are washed in hot water between stays, and beds are made the day before your arrival. You will be camping in comfort!
