If you’re looking for a relaxing, over-the-top gracious stay with amenities such as an old-fashioned kitchen with fresh fruit, fresh cookies for your midnight snack, coffee/tea all day and night, screened-in back porch, cozy fire pit w s’mores included….the list of thoughtful details goes on. Hydrangeas line the back porch as you sip your morning coffee and enjoy the scenery and sounds of a true getaway stay.You’ll find comfy bedding, updated bathroom, lovely shared sitting rooms and most importantly, a host (Deb) who needs to be recognized for her genuine interest in the guests’ comfort and enjoyment of their stay. Curbside appeal? It’s all part of the magic staying at Nine River Road. After this experience, I’ll have a hard time booking a reservation at one of those name-brand hotels.

The inn is "tired". No upkeep outdoors .. spider webs, peeling paint. Sad because it is a lovely plant. The room was decent and clean, though. Then there was the breakfast. There was very little lighting in the kitchen where you serve yourself. Remarkably, there was no one around the entire weekend. You and other guests had to forage through drawers for utensils, plates and napkins. (The second day there were no napkins so we used paper towels. Someone left hard boiled eggs, store bought mini croissants. An open dish of (maybe 10 blueberries). There was yogurt...not in containers mind you. It was maybe half a container that was put in a soup bowl. The fruit bowl held 3 green bananas and underneath were about 4 limes and 2 lemons. Not really a breakfast fruit bowl. You ate in that very dimly lit kitchen if there was a chair available. Talk about the lack of choice and worse-the unsanitary conditions. The following day, the same food was served... as if it was wrapped and then unwrapped. I'm a "grab a coffee and go" person so I wasn't so perturbed. I think the better word is that I was insulted. Not a place to stay. I promise.

Lovely old house - sits on gorgeous property. Staff is friendly and the opportunity to build your own fire (wood stove or fire pit) is unique and fun. There are a couple of quirks: If you book through Expedia, call Nine River and make sure they have actually reserved the room. Also, if you are there are on a day when the front desk is closed, make sure you have been given the correct phone number to contact someone for assistance, if required.

Quaint beautiful place with comfy pillows and beds. Very clean, nice sitting rooms and good view from the screened in porch. Unfortunately we are unable to take advantage of the included breakfast because we had to leave early. Just one more note, it is a little off the beaten path but that's the price you have to pay if you want peace and tranquility.

We loved it! Roisin was so great to chat with and she took really good care of everything during our stay. Adorable place within walking distance of drinking spots and yummy food! Would go back in a heartbeat.

I am an autistic person with severe social anxiety who often struggles when traveling to new places and meeting new people. I was in town on stressful business- Realty in fact- and was persistently overwhelmed throughout the duration of my trip.In saying goodbye to Róisín the innkeeper on my third and final day of stay, I felt like I lost family. In stepping away from the 9 River Road inn, I left a home truer than my own. If I never return I will consider it one of the greater shortcomings of my life. I have never fallen so fast in love with a person or place without hardly noticing, simply for how unintrusive it all was. Not a single complaint.I'd upload some photos but I was engrossed in my surroundings the entire time and kept letting my phone go kaput. Whatever, maybe next time ?♂️Nearby activities: Amazing sunday farmers market- restricted to real artisan offerings. Couldn't attend but in catching the tail end it seemed neat.Safety: Town is sleepy and safe as can be, and there is no way your belongings would wander even when left in the common rooms.Walkability: Completely walkable town.Food & drinks: Town has plenty of excellent dining options and a well stocked bar open later than anything else. Local distillery makes excellent whisky.If you don't want to spend restaurant money, even the local shell gas station serves food better than what I can get out at home ?Noteworthy details: Amazing firepit area out back with a path leading down to the river, as well as a surplus of firewood and smore packages available for guests to enjoy at their leisure. The coffee served at breakfast is to die for, and was always available in plenty with an assortment of fixings. Dietary restrictions are asked and embraced.

Beautiful, cozy inn close to everything in town. We enjoyed an overnight stay here during the winter and would definitely recommend.

Had a wonderful stay at Nine River Road! Warmest welcome (kudos for warm donuts!) and hospitality from Roisin who is a gem! She is so helpful, not intrusive and so lovely we feel like we made a new friend! We have been coming to this area for decades and finding this hidden gem is a gift! The walk into town is a pleasure as are the quaint shops/restaurants/bars etc. to enjoy! The rooms are so comfortable as are the living spaces with a cozy fireplace, games and lots of places to relax and unwind. And, outside is a wonderful fire pit to enjoy s’mores right along the Delaware river! Perfect weekend stay! Can’t wait to come back!

From the moment we arrived at Nine River Road, Roisin made us feel like we were at home. We were welcomed with a roaring fire, warm fresh donuts and delicious local coffee. The bonus is that you can walk into town and no one has to drive! We have been coming up to the area since we were kids at summer camp and know the region quite well. Roisin told us about some new places to try and they were wonderful. Nine River Road was one of the best places that we have stayed in the area. The Inn is lovely and the location is fantastic and Roisin is fabulous. We can't wait to go back!!

New favorite of the Foster Supply properties... Within a few minutes walk of downtown Callicoon and a beautifully furnished house. Great hosts, too. Looking forward to my next visit.

We had a lovely one night stay at Nine River Road. It’s such a thoughtful property. The communal places include a gorgeous fireplace, cozy sitting areas, a big bright kitchen, and a lovely back porch. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable. What made this place so special is the personal touch from the house manager, Roisin. Before we arrived, Roisin made sure to connect with us so we had all the relevant details for our stay, she greeted us when we arrived and gave us great recommendations for dinner. She made us an incredibly delicious breakfast the next morning and we ended up chatting with her for awhile - we so enjoyed meeting her and she really made our stay a special one. This is a gem of a property, and Callicoon is our new favorite charming, quaint town.

Very happy with our stay! A quick trip from Pennsylvania but still felt like a get away. Our house manager was so friendly and took the best care pampering and spoiling us with a room upgrade, friendly hospitality and the best breakfast with local farm fresh groceries. The house is so cozy and comfortable with lots of space. Big porches and outdoor firepit for relaxing. The location was right near all the shops and restaurants. A nice summer walk or a quick ride to the center of town. There is parking in town right in the middle. We will definitely be back and bring our friends!

We had the most amazing stay at 9 River Road. A beautiful and peaceful property just off the main street in Calicoon NY. We had a spacious King Size Bedroom with beautiful Claw foot tub. The ambience of the B&B is incredible - Warm and inviting. But the best part of our stay by far was the B&B's host Roisin. Roisin was warm and welcoming and truly went out of her way to ensure we had everything we needed. She was the perfect balance of host, seeing to our needs but also making sure she gave our group its own space to enjoy the weekend. We loved actually our time with her and enjoyed our multiple conversations over the course of the weekend. Even though we've been going to this area for years, she still managed to give us new ideas and places to visit for the weekend. We're already discussing our next trip and going back and visiting our new friend Roisin! You should make sure to put 9 River Road on your list to visit when going upstate for a long weekend!

What a fabulous place to stay in Callicoon! We were in Callicoon for a wedding and several guests, including myself, spent the weekend here as recommended by the happy couple. It was so much fun getting to chat with other wedding guests over breakfast and enjoy the beautiful house. The room was comfy. There were numerous cute touches, including s'mores kits, building a fire kits, board games, and more! The breakfast they prepared was good, however, it could be more vegan friendly. But I made it work nonetheless. Would definitely recommend staying here!
