About this property

Lazy River Cottage on the Delaware River

Newly renovated cottage right on the Delaware River with direct river access and prime fishing and bird watching spots. River view from every room.

"Nestles high on the bank of Delaware River stood a wooden shack. Despite its humble composition, the shack commands a panoramic view of the rushing water below.

One day a couple bought it. They set out to restore the cabin to a state fitting for its idyllic location and placement. They named the shack “Lazy River Cottage”. Someday, they want to live there, simply and joyfully. They picture spending their days fishing, reading, drinking sweet sun tea, lounging on the wraparound deck and looking at the glimmering river through the rustling leaves.

At dusk, they would enjoy a cozy meal in the candle light. After dark, they huddle around the fire table, gazing up a starry sky searching for the International Space Station.

When it rains, they would put a record on the turntable, light the fireplace, sit on the sofa by the windows and hear the water dripping through the branches of chestnut trees above…

So, before Lazy River is turned into a full time residence, you are invited to come and stay. Come and share the sublime and ever-changing scenery that nature has provided. Come and taste the living in a cottage that was created with warmth, care, and affection.” - Slow Paddler Diary, December, 2019.

Modern property on the Delaware

Owner thought of everything! Besides stocking the fridge, the amenities were top notch effort and planning. We sat and played games and talked in front of the picturesque view. The fireplace and sound system was a huge hit and helped set the mood.

Simplicity...

Went hoping to get away from it all... That was an understatement. The view was excellent, the cottage is just what the doctor ordered. Still well withing a simple drive to ANYTHING you need. The warmer months should bolster the feeling of tranquility. Great spot for sure

Perfect Honeymoon getaway

We had a wonderful week. We were able to spend time with each other without any distractions. Such a cozy cottage with an exceptional view. Also, we loved the rotary phone. We were checking it out and discovered to our joy that it was operable! Thank you, David!

Perfect little house with great views.

Description was accurate. Photos are too except they have new sofas that are blue. Place was spotless. Nice outdoors area. We used the grill and the fire pit ring one day. We drove across the bridge into NY and explored a little over there. It is fun to watch all the people floating by. I am sure in the winter months the river is very quiet. Rafting is a short walk away and looked fun. Thank you for the hospitality! stayed 2 night and drove in

EZ Peasy at Lazy River Cottage

Quaint and comfortable accommodations in a quiet environment. Lamps in bedroom and living space could be brighter for reading. Seat level in living area lower than ideal but adequate. Trying to contact owner as spouse forgot bag in bedroom. Overall would definitely return for the peace and serenity property offered.

Lovely Getaway

What a lovely cottage right on the river! The cottage was immaculately clean and decorated tastefully. We had a good experience communicating with David. We really enjoyed sitting in the chairs right by the river as well as the table top fire on the deck. The weather was glorious and we were able to check out one of the local trails. We even saw a bald eagle right on the property. The only negative, which can't be helped, is the sound of the busy road on the New York side of the river. We were hoping it was more remote. Thank you for hosting us!

Weekend Getaway

The cottage was perfect! Everything about the cottage was just as it was described. The cottage was neat as a pin upon arrival, we got in at night and David had the light on and music playing for us. Would definitely recommend the Cottage to others as the perfect weekend retreat.

A lovely quiet retreat

The cabin was just as described. A great, clean space for us to enjoy our time and get away from the city. A nice, small kitchen allowed us to cook meals and enjoy as we watched the river go by. There is an excellent selection of records to choose from as you spend your time.
