A great quiet getaway from the hustle and bustle for a few days. I enjoyed the natural lighting. Immaculately clean, true to the photos. The owner was prompt to reply to any questions I had. Would definitely recommend!

Loved everything about it!
My husband and I rented this house for a night to celebrate our anniversary. We LOVED so many things: layout of the house, modern finishes, the sky lights, fireplace feature, TV, bed, kitchen, heated floors in the bathroom, shower, back porch, fire pit, short walk to the lake, and the privacy and peacefulness of the lake. We would definitely stay here again. Activities we enjoyed nearby were visiting Buttermilk Falls at the Delaware Water Gap and High Point State Park in NJ.

Exactly what we were hoping for
The cottage is gorgeous. Brand new and beautifully appointed. Partner and I wanted to escape everything and this was perfect. Coffee on the deck listening to the woodland critters wake up, followed by daytime adventures and finishing with catching a couple/three three+ pound largemouth bass on the quiet lake while the setting sun paints the surrounding mountains purple and orange
Perfect. Perfect. Perfect
