The Floating Farmhouse – Eldred, NY
I came across this stunning Floating Farmhouses available to rent via HomeAway.
This 5 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home is roomy enough for a family getaway or couples weekend and just two hours from New York City in Eldred, NY. It sleeps 9 people and is loaded with amenities like a fireplace, a grill, wireless internet and even a wood-fired pizza oven.
The closest airports are EWR (Newark, NJ), SWF (Stewart International, NY), HPN (Westchester International, NY).
The house sits near a creek, giving it the illusion it’s floating on water.
The interior and views are just as stunning as the exterior.
All of this and more can be yours for ~$875 per night (2 night minimum).
