Paradise

Posted 24 Sep. 2023 on HomeAway
Laura and Tom are very friendly and accommodating. We arranged to see their horses and had some great conversation. Their property is beautiful and was able to do a short hike. The lake is gorgeous, unfortunately we didn’t get to use the paddle boats as it was raining but it was a super peaceful clean place to stay.

Thank you for your lovely review. We are happy that you enjoyed your stay and had a chance to explore some of the property despite the rain. Our conversation in the barn with your family including our horse family was great. We look forward to seeing you all again soon!

Private lake getaway

Posted 10 Sep. 2023 on HomeAway
Our stay was fantastic! We spent the entire day on the lake, and it was relaxing and completely amazing. Bring your tackle and fishing rods - the fishing was great! Laura and Tom were SO helpful and responsive which made the whole experience phenomenal!! I would highly recommend this private lake getaway.

Tom and I are so happy to read your wonderful review. It brings us great joy to hear how much you loved our property! You are no doubt quite the fisherman with the many fish you caught. Hosting you both was our pleasure! All the best, Laura & Tom

Tranquility

Posted 8 Sep. 2023 on HomeAway
We had a quiet and relaxing stay. The property was very beautiful. We felt at home immediately, we were welcomed by the owner when we arrived and made to feel welcomed. We even were able to watch wildlife grazing from one of the windows!

Lovely dwelling and property

Posted 7 Aug. 2023 on HomeAway
My wife and I stayed at Rippling Waters for two nights in early August. The cabin is a lovely, luxurious getaway for two, with an airy living room, wood floors, well appointed kitchen and modern furnishings. The extensive property has several dwellings, including a barn, where Laura, one of our hosts, graciously showed us her three horses--a treat! We took a lovely fifteen-minute hike up a hill to a beautiful overlook and peered down at morning mist shrouding the town of Delhi, a ten-minute drive away. There's a completely private lake on the premises. We didn't take advantage of the canoe, kayak or paddle boat, but I did go for a couple of nice swims--avoiding weedy spots. The lake is a bit murky and the bottom not the best for wading barefoot Tom and Laura, our hosts, were particular about greeting us at check-in; arranging this required our sending several text messages beginning the day before our arrival. Once we'd sorted out the check-in, Tom and Laura were eager to give us very helpful information about the surrounding area, local restaurants, etc. Overall, our stay was pleasant, hospitable--and even memorable.

Thank you for both for your thoughtful review. We are very happy to hear that you found the Carriage House lovely, luxurious, airy, well appointed, and modern. And happy to hear you enjoyed your swim in the lake...I only wish I had a chance to direct you to the channels in the lake which were created when we renovated the lake...unfortunatley I needed to tend to the needs of my son who just had surgery. And we are sorry to hear your comment about our texting request. You see since we live on the property and we are very busy with a myriad of responsibilities and projects it helps us to know the day prior to your arrival so we can make sure someone is on the premises to take you to your accommodation...as there are 5 (which you might not realize as some are hidden). Also, we appreciate a text when you leave and when you are heading up our road so we make sure we are on the premises and not running errands elsewhere. Without this check in text sometimes guests have been hours early, hours late, lost, etc.. Hope that makes sense. We are really happy that you enjoyed your time with our 3 Friesian horses and you made it up to Lookout Point! Thanks for choosing Rippling Waters! It was our pleasure to meet and host you both. Best wishes, Laura and Tom

Great Stay

Posted 2 Aug. 2023 on HomeAway
When we were looking for a quiet place to spend a few days, we came across Tom and Laura's "Rippling Waters". It is 400 acres of nature in all its splendor, with a large spring-fed lake as the focal point. Needless to say, we were quite happy with our decision to stay. Tom was very pleasant upon our arrival, and gave us helpful suggestions regarding restaurants and other activities in town, including the farmers market. After spending three nights, we found it difficult to leave. If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful, and relaxing few days, we heartily recommend staying at "Rippling Waters".

Peace in Nature

Peaceful getaway in Rapids Waters with an amazing view at the lake surrounded by very tall trees and beautiful nature. Everything about this place was outstanding from beginning to end Laura and Tom were always ready to help and answer any questions. If you are looking for a break from the city this is a must!! Thank you for the wonderful hospitality we can’t wait to be back.

Relaxing, close to nature and wonderful!

Posted 28 Jun. 2023 on HomeAway
Laura and Tom's carriage house apartment was exactly what Jenny and I were looking for. Tranquil! Don't miss out on the scenic overlook (a short hike away). Don't forget to bring a gift for Buddha! We saw deer, turtles, chipmunks, groundhogs and vultures. In the lake, we caught many fish (easy to catch!) including large-mouth bass, perch, sunfish and a catfish. The stars and fireflies at night-time were magical. The 3 Friesian horses were so majestic and friendly! The carriage house apartment was clean and efficient. We look forward to returning. .

Wonderful getaway

Posted 17 Aug. 2022 on HomeAway
This was a wonderful getaway for my husband and I. The apartment is clean and lovely and private. The property is beautiful and peaceful - we enjoyed rowboating at the lake, seeing the horses, and hiking to the scenic lookout point. We also enjoyed walking in town and checking out their restaurants. Tom and Laura were very friendly and helpful. Would love to come back again!

Beautiful Countryside

Posted 11 Oct. 2021 on HomeAway
Had a lovely weekend at Rippling Waters Retreat; Tom and Laura were very welcoming and helpful. The horses were wonderful and friendly, the hiking trails were an easy walk in the woods and the overlook point had a stunning view. The lake was cute and peaceful, and the fire pit was a perfect way to end the day This was perfect for a weekend getaway. Thank you for a wonderful, peaceful retreat!
