Isaac Read Cottage—Historic Hope property near DWG
The Isaac Read Cottage offers a peaceful respite in the northwestern heart of the Garden State, minutes from the historic township of Hope, NJ, and the Poconos. Here you will find a cozy retreat thoughtfully curated with unique antiques, original artwork, premium linens, and local provisions.
We invite you to rest—reset—and recess.
Whether seeking a tranquil getaway, a space to spark your creativity, or a gateway to nature’s many wonders, the Isaac Read Cottage harmoniously intertwines its old-world history, period furnishings, and modern comforts to immerse you in a story that is uniquely yours to craft. Embrace the quaintness and quietude of our offering and its surroundings to lay the pathway for remarkable happenings and unforgettable memories.
The property's Isaac Read House was built sometime in the 1700s using primitive building methods and tools, followed by a more stately Federal-style addition in 1814. The home is named after its original owner, Isaac R. Read, Sr. Local legend claims Read was a patriot and figure in the American Revolution with ties to General George Washington, who is said to have stayed on the property.
We know less about the cottage — a former summer kitchen — but historical enthusiasts have theorized its impressive fireplace was constructed by Moravian hands following their tradition of using stone, timber, and arching brickwork, circa 1769-1808. This suggests that the hearth may be the true heart of this property, as its light and warmth nourished and received its first residents and visitors.
Conveniently located 1:10 hours from NYC, nearby attractions include: Jenny Jump State Forest, Shawnee Mountain Ski Area, Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, and the Appalachian Trail, plus antiques, wineries, farm stands, and more.
Complimentary breakfast items provided for stays of two or more days.
We’re here to nurture and inspire, and hope you’ll stay awhile.
Note: Book The Isaac Read Cottage for your photo/video productions via Peerspace.
