Guide to North Branch, NY

By Erin|2025-04-08T18:42:12+00:00September 12th, 2024|Weekend Guides|

Nestled in the bucolic heart of the Catskills, North Branch, New York, is a small hamlet renowned for its picturesque landscapes and historic charm. With a population hovering around a few hundred, North Branch is characterized by its historic homes, perfectly patinated storefronts, rolling farmland, and the gentle flow of the East Branch of the Delaware River. Though the hamlet – yes, we said "hamlet" – is by definition tiny, North Branch is central to some of our other favorite towns, including Callicoon, Roscoe, and Livingston Manor – there's no lack of things to do or see in the area. (Unless of course, you want to do nothing, which is welcome here too.)

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.”
