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

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.

About the host

Hosted by Kevin Grundig

Host profile image
Hello! We’re Kevin and Ren — proud parents, travelers, and the founders of Love Your Stay.

Our passion for travel, hospitality, and creating memorable experiences inspired us to create relaxing, thoughtfully designed spaces where guests can truly unwind and enjoy their time away. From Egypt, the Philippines, and South Korea to the Catskills, Great Smoky Mountains, ski trips in Utah, and beaches along the East Coast, our travels have shaped the comfort, warmth, and thoughtful details we bring into every stay.

Whether it’s a peaceful nature retreat, a cozy city getaway, or a relaxing place to recharge, we believe great stays should feel both memorable and comfortable. We’ve taken inspiration from our favorite travel experiences to create spaces that feel welcoming, easy, and thoughtfully curated for modern travelers.

We genuinely enjoy hosting and love helping guests experience the beauty, charm, adventure, and slower pace that make each destination unique. Whether you're visiting for relaxation, outdoor activities, remote work, family time, or simply a quiet escape from everyday life, we hope your stay feels relaxing, memorable, and effortless from the moment you arrive.

Why they chose this property

We chose this area because it offers the perfect balance of peace, nature, and convenience.

Surrounded by trees, wildlife, lakes, hiking, and scenic drives, the neighborhood feels like a true escape from the noise of everyday life — yet restaurants, shops, breweries, and nearby towns like Port Jervis and Milford are still just a short drive away.

What we love most is how relaxing it feels here. Mornings are quiet, evenings are peaceful, and the natural setting creates the perfect environment to slow down, recharge, and reconnect with nature while still enjoying modern comforts nearby.

What makes this property unique

What makes our Lakeside Retreat special is the experience it creates.

The cabin was thoughtfully designed to feel peaceful, cozy, and connected to nature while still offering the comfort of a modern stay. From the skylights and natural light to the fire pit, string lights, wooded surroundings, and nearby lake access, every detail was chosen to help guests relax and unwind.

Unlike a typical rental, this space feels tucked away and private while still being close to restaurants, hiking, rafting, scenic towns, and everything the area has to offer. Whether you're enjoying coffee on the deck, spotting wildlife, or relaxing by the fire after a day of exploring, the retreat is designed to help you slow down and enjoy the moment.
