The Starling at Pond Eddy
Our HISTORY
The Starling at Pond Eddy’s Riverhouse was built by A. Maney in 1893 and is reported to be one of the last known buildings to have been constructed along the Historic Delaware and Hudson Canal. The main floor of the Riverhouse originally housed a general store and has much of the original wood floors and ceilings intact. The upstairs–thought to be former boardinghouse–contains elaborate woodwork and colored glass windows.
The property’s Cottage dates back even farther to c. 1860, with the porch being added around 1880. This is just one of many mid 19th-century canal-side houses that were built in Pond Eddy.
With its wooded hillside at its back and views of the Delaware River off the front, The Starling at Pond Eddy retains much of its original charm–a rarity in the river valley–due to the fact that it sat unaltered for almost 40 years until an antique dealer purchased it and started detailed renovations.
The Starling at Pond Eddy has three main rental options: The Apartment and Boardinghouse Rooms in the historic Riverhouse or The Cottage, a free-standing building behind the main canal house. The Cottage is also our only pet-friendly rental. Arrangements can also be made to rent out the entire property for private events or retreats
