About this property

Rustic Cottage Getaway by Lake Wallenpaupack - 2 bedroms and Large Loft

This cottage is located in a private friendly community on Lake Wallenpaupack with lake access, floating docks to fish and swim off, and boat launching. (no boat slip available) Wood floors, knotty pine walls, log furniture, stone fireplace and rustic decor offers the perfect getaway with a true feeling of being in the country. The bedrooms have queens, and the loft is quite large with one log queen bed and a log futon for additional lounging or sleeping. There is a ductless air conditioning system that serves the whole cottage along with two ceiling fans and fans in each bedroom.
There is a front and rear deck. The front deck is set up with a stainless BBQ, stainless counter top deli table, picnic table and bench. The rear deck has seating and perfect for watching the deer pass by in the afternoon. There is a shed conveniently located by the front deck with garbage cans for you to toss your kitchen garbage, I will take it from there; you are on vacation!!

There are many benefits to being located on this side of the lake that I would like to share. The “507 Country Store” is right outside the community offering all the conveniences of a traditional deli, homemade bread, gourmet food, incidentals, coffee, seating and gas station. Also in the immediate vicinity is the “Rubber Duckie” and "The Boat Shop" for boat and PWC rentals; visit their websites. As you continue towards town you will find all the great lakeside restaurants like “The Dock”, “The Boathouse”, “Gresham’s Steakhouse”, “Lake Wallenpaupack Brewery”, . Also check out the newly built "Ringside Bar and Grill" just a quarter mile from the community. Of course once in town you’ll find your basic stores like CVS, Dunkin Donuts, IGA supermarket, Sports Shop, Beer store, Ice cream parlor, Pizza, etc. There are parts of the lake that are 5 or more miles to the nearest town so it is something to consider as you do your searches. Lastly and most importantly are the sunset views from this side of the lake, you may choose to enjoy these from the community beach area as you fish or sit by the beach fire pit, or take a short drive to the dam where there is free parking and take a stroll along the high path on the dam as the sun sets!

There is a visitor’s center just past the dam that will provide information and brochures about things to see and do. Please visit their Pocono Mountain web site and begin exploring!

Could have been a little cleaner, but overall it was a pleasant stay! This a great getaway to unplug with friends. The location is amazing and having access to a fireplace indoors and a fire pit outdoors really made the trip. It rained one day, so having the option to cozy up indoors was lovely. I would definitely stay again!

Perfect for holiday family getaway

Cabin was perfect for our family of 4. Location was great too. Found good food and things to do nearby. Owner was great at communicating up to check in day. We think the kitchen items could’ve been a little cleaner as well as a little better lighting in the kitchen, but overall we enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful place to stay

We were very happy with the house. We really like that the kitchen/dining and living room were open to each other. The beds were extremely comfortable. The yard was large and had a nice fire pit with a lot of chairs to sit. The bonus on this home was having two decks to sit out on as well. We highly recommend this home; the community it is located in is quiet and peaceful.

Perfect weekend

Had a great time. Fireplace inside was welcome. Short walk to the lake. Cute towns nearby. We went to Honesville. All sorts of hijab around. Bill was very responsive, and answered all of our questions right away. Place was very neat and clean.

Great cottage in a great area

Had a wonderful long weekend in this great cottage which just as easily could have been nestled at the base of a mountain or in the middle of the woods. It's certainly on the smaller side but is deceivingly large for the footprint, especially given the loft space. Beds were comfortable, baseboard heating worked great, WiFi was strong, and the access to firewood for the fireplace made for wonderful evenings. Great location around the Lake and close to lots of activities and restaurants. We used this as home base for skiing at Big Bear, about 25 min away. A great stay!

Helpful

We had a medical situation right after arrival that prevented us from staying at the cabin. Bill was very helpful and did everything he could to make our stay at the lake work out.

Quiet Cabin for Relaxation

This property is exactly as described and shown. We stayed 3 nights to enjoy the lake with our new boat, and this cabin was perfectly located. Plenty of restaurants nearby but off of the main road so it is very quiet. We used the grill too which looked brand new! Yes, the deer come often! They will eat right out of your hand and are very calm. We visited this cabin at the height of a heat wave (over 90 degrees) and the place was very well air conditioned with convenient air flow. Would stay here again!

Fall Mini-Vacation

My husband and I as well as our two adult sons were impressed with this cottage. Ideally located in a lovely area. We were greeted by a family of deer who practically came right up to you. Not having a TV wasn't an issue because we played card games and connected as a family. My only negative would be it could have been cleaned a little better (cob webs here and there) and the mattresses were a little hard although my husband liked ours. We would consider renting this cottage again.

Overall

The cabin was in a great location. The cleanliness could be improved upon. I had to buy Clorox bathroom tile cleaner to spray on shower where tub met tile it was moldy but then it came right out. I wanted to sit on front and back porch to have my coffee but chairs were dirty and when they knew renters were coming should have been cleaned before we came. I understand it was a cabin but I suggest a new cleaning person before renters come in.

A charming woodsy cabin. A short walk or drive downhill to the lake with beautiful views on a rocky beach. Very comfortable beds and all you need to relax. And so many sweet deer pass by, they eat right from your hand!

We had a great stay as a family of five. The place was very clean and well maintained, with a fully equipped kitchen that made everything easy. The location is excellent, just a short walk to the lake. The host was very friendly and always quick to respond to our requests. We would definitely recommend this place!
