Cozy secluded waterfront retreat


Bushkill House Rental Photos and Description

A secluded cottage on a beautiful, serene acre (plus) waterfront lot

The property is 1 1/4 acres in a secluded quiet area with no visible neighbors. It is a place to connect with nature and enjoy true peace and serenity. You can fall asleep at night listening to the sound of the running water and wake up to the sounds of nature. Read a book on the deck or take afternoon naps in the hammock. Fish from the back yard. The creek has native trout and is stocked. Watch the fish jump out of the water from the back deck. See the deer crossing the creek and a blue heron searching for fish on the rocks. The deck has a picnic table and a grill for outdoor eating. There is a patio with adirondeck chairs and a fire pit to sit around at night and watch the stars. There is a kayak for you to use in the creek to relax or fish and river tubes to float. You can use the beach chair if you want to just sit and cool off with the water running over you.

This house is bright and cheerful with lots of light. Art fills the walls giving it soul and colorfulness. It is a magical place filled with inspiring pieces from my travels.

OUTSIDE THE PROPERTY...

There is a path across the creek to walk along and a small lake on the top of the hill.

THIS HOUSE FEATURES...

One guest bedroom, 1 large bathroom, eat in kitchen, living room with a wood burning fireplace and high cathedral ceilings, a sun room with comfortable furniture and a laundry area. The whole back of the house has windows that look out onto the creek. There is Wifi, television, DVD and a stereo CD player. There is a portable floor air conditioner in the kitchen and living room area and ceiling and floor fans in each room. Most of the time it is cool enough that it is not needed. I love to keep the windows open to hear the sounds of nature and the running water. The guest bedroom has a full size mattress, desk and dresser. The sun room has comfortable modular furniture that you can sink into. It can be rearranged to comfortably sleep 2 persons... This room overlooks the creek with 2 large windows and a sky light. There is a folding standing divider if you want privacy.

Dogs are welcome, however, they are not allowed on the furniture. Luna, the neighborhood dog most likely will visit you during your stay. She is super- friendly and most of my guests and their dogs love her and her visits. (see reviews)

Perfect family getaway

The property was absolutely beautiful. It was the perfect place for our family to go and disconnect from the outside world for a little bit. Tubing in the river behind the house was the highlight of our trip. We can’t wait to come back!

A very relaxing getaway in nature

My husband and I and our dog enjoyed our stay very much. The house was interestingly decorated and comfortable. Situated on a beautiful river it was so nice to return to after hiking. Very relaxing and peaceful . I enjoyed breakfast on the deck listening to the water and enjoying the warm sun. In the late afternoon sitting out by the river was a perfect ending to the day. . I would highly recommend a stay here.

Very Relaxing

My son and I went to go fishing, unfortunately after 2 day of heavy rain the stream was unfishable. But still had a great time. Host is wonderful. Definitely would like to go back and fish the stream again. Met Luna when she came for a visit on Saturday, she friendly and very nice. If your looking for a quiet place to relax I recommend staying here.

Relaxing getaway

We had a very nice, relaxing stay. The property and home are very beautiful. Each morning Luna took us on a walk over the bridge and up the creek. She was very gentle with my toddler. We cannot wait to come back in the summertime so we can go in the creek. Thank you for opening your home to us!

About the host

Hosted by Barbara Wille

Host profile image
I am a teacher who enjoys hiking, swimming, cycling and traveling. I love art and music. I spend my summers between my home in the Poconos and my home near the Jersey shore. In the winter, I go to Hawaii for several months to visit friends and enjoy traveling to Europe in the fall.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with this property because it was right on the water. I can go swimming, kayaking or tubing from my backyard or just put my beach chair in the creek and sit and read a good book. There are many waterfalls as you walk along the creek and a lake on top of the hill where I go at night to sit and reflect on my day. I love watching all the wild animals. I see deer crossing the creek, wild turkeys, ducks. herons and a bald eagle nesting in a nearby tree.. The lighting in the mornings is especially beautiful shining through all the windows.

What makes this property unique

This property is very secluded with no visible neighbors. I like the privacy and especially the view from my kitchen window. It is truly a magical place.
