This brand new home on two acres is set back over 300' from the road in the quietude of the Delaware River Valley. The building is split into two sides: both residential, one rental.

Outside, guests can enjoy a spacious yard and fire pit.
Whether or not you realize it, you may already own a piece of Beaver Brook: it’s the home of Scott’s Cabin, which graces the cover of beloved book Cabin Porn. What started as a visual collection of cabins on Tumblr, aptly named “Cabin Porn,” eventually manifested into the build of this off-grid, rustic cabin in Barryville, NY. Following completion, the project was photographed by local artist Noah Kalina, and used for the cover of this best-selling book. Almost 10 years after its original publishing, Scott’s Cabin remains the picture in our minds at the very mention of “cabin.”
