Perfect getaway!
This place was the perfect place to get away for a few days. The tiny house is adorable and perfect for a couple. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. The location is far enough away to feel like youve "gotten away" but close enough to the city and other things that you can make an ice cream run if needed or check out Pulpit Point and the AT! Our only complaint was that the fish in the lake had no interest in biting while we were there.

Cozy Lakeside Cottage
We loved our stay at The Hammock. (There really is a hammock in the yard, and it's so comfortable!) The lakeside view can't be beat, and the surrounding countryside is really beautiful. Hope to visit again!

Perfectly Peaceful!
Moments after I arrived, I knew I wanted to stay longer! This tiny slice of paradise is beautifully decorated and very well equipped. I highly recommend it and will be looking for when I can return.

Beautiful rest
So my husband and I want to live there, we were trying to figure out how 🙂It was such a retreat, even the area was a good find! We are residents of PA and had never been to that area, now we want to move there. It was an intimate setting in the great outdoors among wildlife. We loved watching the ducks, they were so entertaining. There is definitely one duck that's the outcast, we named him Freddy. When he got too close to the other ones territory the three of them sped after him and chased him away. There were fish jumping out of the lake and a creature that was swimming around, I thought it was an otter or muskrat, my husband thought it was a turtle so very different things. Our stay was just what we needed! We would definitely stay there again or buy the place if it was available 😁

Host profile image
This property is owned and managed by Ivan and Marian Zimmerman , along with our 5 children. We worked together as a family to bring 'The Hammock' to life. And as we did so we fell in love with it (: We live nearby and are available as our schedule permits.

Why they chose this property

We both grew up in Berks County and we stayed : because its home . And whats not to love? The pace is slower and the scenery is lovely . Its the perfect area for a get away. The Hammock is located in a quiet neighborhood in the countryside with a 10-minute drive to the town of Hamburg. It is located in a privately owned community surrounding a 24 acre lake.

What makes this property unique

Because of its peaceful lakeside setting you will leave this property rejuvenated !! We provide all you need for a relaxing time. The backyard has access to the lake for the supplied kayaks. (life vests provided) You will find firewood on the deck for the fire pit. The patio table on the deck is a perfect spot for dinner and a show. (the sunsets are amazing !) Please note; while there is great wi-fi , cell coverage at The Hammock is limited . You might try to drive a few minutes down the road for service or use wi-fi calling.
