Charmong little house in the woods

The house is a cute little house in the woods. The house did not disappoint. It was clean and served its purpose. The only disappointment was the dock and the access to the lake. We were excited to squeeze some fishing in but we discovered it was not an easy task. The little stream of water the dock is next to is too shallow to float the boat out to the lake. We had to walk the boat out but then caught some fish. It wouldhave been better if we were mentally prepared before hand.

Cozy End of Summer Stay

We really loved our stay here and hope to come back someday! Just a few little things that could be improved. We went to grill and there was no propane in the propane tank which was a bummer. We were also looking forward to letting our 2 year old play on the play gym outside but it was in pretty rough shape. He enjoyed throwing rocks in the creek instead and that kept him entertained!! It was really nice that the house had toys for him to play with!!

Nice place, just know what to expect

The property was spotless, and the amenities in the home were great, especially for kids. The lake was a letdown. The rowboat had no oarlocks, so you need to row it like a raft, and required dragging it through 30 feet of mud to get to the actual lake. Fishing from shore is impossible, as the lily pads and reeds block access to open water. It was disappointing, as we had anticipated spending a day on the water, but it was just too hard to get in and out. The kayak was ok, but only allowed for one person at a time. We still had a nice time in the area though, and the host was responsive.

Exactly what we were looking for.

We were looking for something quaint near a lake to get away for a few days in the Poconos, and this wonderful property checked every box. The house was beautifully decorated, very clean and comfortable, with thoughtful touches by the owner throughout. The property is very private, but an easy drive to retail, restaurants, etc. And we loved having a fire in the firepit by the lake. The owner was great in her communications, with very clear instructions. Would definitely return without hestitation.

Cozy and clean cottage

The home was cozy and very clean. Many amenities were provided, making it easy to settle in. We loved the vintage decor and throw blankets. As mentioned in other reviews, the couch was a bit uncomfortable, but other chairs and beds were comfortable. Wifi and TV worked just fine and lots of games were provided. The kitchen was stocked with everything you need, just bring your food. We appreciated the bowl of goodies left for us. The outside had a plethora of entertaining areas, including a deck, playset, hammock, and firepit. The dock with rowboat and kayak was next to a stream. We were hoping to fish off the dock, but it wasn't deep enough so we took the rowboat out for a trial run. That ended up to be challenging because of shallow water and lily pads. Our trial run was successful, as did make it to the lake, but we never did go back to the lake to fish because of the challenge to get to the lake. We did enjoy the natural setting while sitting on the dock, plenty of birds, including a mama with baby ducks, tons of dragonflies, and frogs. Other reviews mentioned noise. Yes, there is a busy road and you can hear the traffic. We got used to it after the first day. Also, there was a humming noise at night and we never did figure out what it was, but we got used to that too. Overall, a nice place to bring your family. We felt safe, the home was very clean, and plenty was provided.

Cottage in the Woods

Cute cottage in the woods. Very clean and tidy. Under amenities they did not mention they had a hairdryer or that they had a Keurig coffee maker. Had I known that I would’ve brought pods. We flew into NY then drove and arrived late and there was no coffee welcome basket for us to enjoy for morning coffee. We did make it to a grocery store the next day, however. Although nicely appointed, one of the bedrooms did not have window curtains for privacy and the other bedroom curtains were sheer and did not cover the windows completely. As we were there to visit friends in the Hideout, we spent much of our time away from the cottage.

Peaceful Lake Retreat

We had a wonderful stay at this cute quiet cottage in the woods. The house was clean with all the necessities. Having lake access was really nice even if we were completely inept at using the rowboat. Sitting around the firepit by the dock was awesome. We didn't mind the location because we like the quiet, but it's about a 15-minute drive to Hawley and lake activities.

We are happy to call the Lake Wallenpaupack area home. Vacation memories are some of our favorite and we want to help others create those lasting memories in our area.

Why they chose this property

We want to bring life to older forgotten homes and this was one of them. When we saw the location on the water and the potential this house had we couldn't say no. It's close to town, with no neighbors close, it is the perfect little getaway location.

What makes this property unique

This cottage sits on 2 acres with no neighbors in sight. You don't need to worry about who or what is happening next door. When looking out the windows there is nothing but trees and views of the lake, no need to close the curtains they just frame the view. Plenty of room for the kids to play, watch them while resting on the back deck or swinging in the hammock. The firepit area is perfect location to enjoy the views of the lake. Don't forget we provide a kayak, row boat & life vests to hit the water. We also have everything to cook your meals including a gas grill. Grab groceries on your way in or have them delivered. Just need a place to rest your head before exploring the area? Just about everything you would want to do is within 10 minute drive. We are at a prime location for it all.
