About this property

Riverfront cottage. Hiking, fishing, relaxing, pet friendly !

Enjoy nature on the river. Either at the picnic table by the fire ring, or inside this rustic cottage with knotty pine interior with screened in back porch, fireplace and Foosball table. Speaking of river , it's the best trout fishing spot on the river. You will love your stay at the Cozy Cottage on the Lehigh. Horses and snowmobiling allowed at Lackawanna state forest only 1/4 mile down the road. Close to many ski resorts. There are state forest and forest preserves all around the area great for hiking.
The space
The Cozy cottage on the Lehigh River has state gamelands and State forest across the road and a natural preserve across the river. Close to Jack Frost and Big Boulder ski resort. Also Lake Harmony and Pocono raceway. The tv is a smart TV, you will need a Netflix, YouTube or other streaming account to login.

Other things to note
Nature lovers dream. Kayak, fish, bike, hike hunt etc.
Guest that bring pets will have a $35 pet cleaning at check-in. Keep all pets downstairs. Lackawanna and Pinchot State forest has hiking, kayaking, horseback riding & snowmobiling, plus hunting & fishing. Also Natural lands trust Bear creek preserve and Thomas Darling nature preserve are a few minutes away. To turn the showerhead on the diverter valve is on the end of the tub fill, just pull down. Very small holding tank. Please be resourceful with the water and do not flush anything but toilet paper.
There is firewood for sale by the back picnic table in the back yard at $25 bundle. You can leave cash in the mug hanging on the fireplace mantle or I can request from Venmo or PayPal , just let me know if you purchase. All other wood is my personal firewood not for sale or use.

Nice little getaway

Nice little getaway with peace and quiet. The house is right on the river but it is a little difficult to access the river.

Just what we needed after a busy holiday.

We booked our stay with intentions of relaxing and enjoying ourselves. The morning sun rising over the hills behind the river were wonderful. We also woke to some fresh snow. It was nice to be able to purchase wood at the property. 5 stars we will be back.

Additional charge

The house is a man camp that advertised as pet friendly, We brought our 3 year old golden retriever who we had gotten groomed a few days before. The host requested an addition charge after we left for pet hair, even though there was no vacuum cleaner for us to use. There was also only one small partial roll of toilet paper so we had to buy our own.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

My daughter and I stayed here because we were in town for The Mud Girl Run. The house had all the basics that we needed. Communication with Earl, the host, was phenomenal. We stupidly locked ourselves out of the house while exploring the property and Earl spoke to us on the ring camera and helped us get in. We had a bit of trouble logging into Netflix on the TV (used our credentials accurately but still gave us an error) but that just made us play foosball and card games which was better anyway! We built a fire in the fire pit and made s’mores and saw a cute baby bear peeking at us from a neighbor’s house, then saw a family of bear cross the street into the woods. I was very happy with our stay!!!
