About this property

Intimate Lake Cottage In Northeast Pennsylvania

This fully modern cabin sits on a small hill along the shore of Lily Lake in Conyngham Township. Located in the northeastern part of the state's Pocono and Endless mountains, the spring-fed lake boasts superb bass fishing and is surrounded by 100s of acres of public land for hiking, walking, hunting, cross country skiing, or simple viewing and relaxation.

Ideal for couples or small families, the property sleeps 1 to 4 and is easily accessible from I-80 and I-81. It is two hours north by car from Philadelphia and Harrisburg and two hours west of New York City.

The cottage is fully furnished with a queen-sized bed in the bedroom and single beds in the loft. It has a large flat-screen television with DVD player, access to Wi-Fi, and on-site washer and dryer. It has a modern kitchen equipped with gas stove, refrigerator, coffee maker, dishes, silverware, cooking utensils, and other kitchen tools. Central air conditioning and heating ensure a comfortable interior in all seasons.

Accessible from the township road by a paved private drive, the cottage has a screened-in front porch and open rear flagstone patio complete with Pennsylvania-made cedar furniture.

The grounds and lakefront are landscaped with native and exotic plants. The lakefront has a table and chairs, a fire ring, dock, paddle boat, and kayak available for guests' use. Motorboats and water skiing are also permitted on the lake, subject to certain horsepower and use limits.

Numerous Pocono ski resorts, minor-league hockey and baseball franchises, Mohegan Sun and Mount Airy casinos, local theater, movies, national and regional historic sites, shopping malls, restaurants, white-water rafting, state and local parks, and several amusement parks are within 30- to 60-minute drives.

With advance notice, guests also have the option during their stay of ordering one or more three-course meals, featuring local and seasonal ingredients, prepared and served on the property or delivered. A number of options are available. Arrangements can also be made for stocking the pantry with your grocery list. Please inquire for details.

A little slice of paradise
This property was amazing and the location was perfect. It felt like the cabin had been restored by one of those HGTV shows. Attention to details to keep the authentic feel but ensuring modern conveniences were spot on. It felt incredibly comfortable and relaxing from the moment I pulled into the driveway. The owners really helped this feel like home and that they cared about your visit. Can't wait to go back again.

Lily Lake
The guest house at Lily Lake is beautiful. It is even better than the pictures show. It was wonderful to communicate with Sal and he was very quick with his responses. The house is directly on the lake with beautiful views of the lake. I highly recommend the Lily Lake guest house and my wife and I are looking forward to going again in the future.

Perfect lakeside retreat
Our family had an amazing experience at the Guest House at Lily Lake! From the minute we arrived we felt completely at home. The house and surrounding garden are beautiful and very well maintained and we were impressed by how clean everything was. Steps down the hill from the house is beautiful Lily Lake. We enjoyed the kayak, stand up paddle board, fishing from the dock, and playing with our dog at the nearby beach. There is also a peddle boat and a rowboat available for use as well as lots of life jackets and inflatable toys. At Sal’s recommendation we took a walk around the lake - a great opportunity for birding with eagle sightings! There was also a lot of hiking opportunities in the surrounding area and we spent a great morning hiking in Rickett’s Glen, which is 40 minutes away. We all agreed that this was the best hike we’ve taken in Pennsylvania! We highly recommend Sal and Elaine’s place for a a peaceful lakeside getaway! We hope to return in the future!

Peaceful getaway
Very clean, cozy cottage with nice view of the lake. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, though the stove in the kitchen needs to be shimmed up so that it is level rather than tilted forward.

The cabin was beautiful and very well maintained. Felt at home the minute we walked in. Loved kayaking on the lake and spending our nights by the fire. Was absolutely what we needed. What a great way to spend our 25th wedding anniversary!

Great getaway in a peaceful location
Just got back from a great couple of days at this amazing property. It has everything you need. Very clean and well put together. Kids had a blast using the included paddle boat, paddle board and kayak. Fire pits and stars at night. Within driving distance to Rickets Glen and Boulder Field which we enjoyed immensely. On-site property owners are very nice down to earth people. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

An escape from everything
A wonderful alternative to our usual resort/hotel stays. We spent 5 days in total tranquility. Amazing to "hear" silence. The cabin was excellent with everything we needed. Handwritten notes from the Owner made everything easy to find and operate. Owner was happy to give advance information on activities, restaurants etc. We would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to really get away and find peace and quiet. We will be visiting again.

Everything we hoped for.
My wife and I have been going to Maine on vacation but with the pandemic we were looking for somewhere in PA closer to home that would be quiet, private, well maintained, and pet friendly. This beautiful cottage on Lake Lily checked all the boxes and then some. The lake view was a bonus as we took advantage of the row boat and the scenic hiking trails, The house was very comfortable, updated, and clean. The owners and manager were friendly and accommodating. We will definitely keep it in mind for the future. Bernie R.

Beautiful Lake View and Location
My wife, dog, and I enjoyed our stay at this beautiful lakefront house. The place was very clean, nicely furnished, and situated with a gorgeous view of the state park side of the lake. We especially liked the enclosed back porch (please add a photo to your description) for coffee in the morning, and a glass of wine late day. We used the rowboat for fishing, and the kayak for cruising around the lake. We also spent time hiking here, and at Ricketts Glen State Park. We highly recommend this property, and look to return again in the future.

Spectacular
As soon as you walk in, you feel as if you're at a life long friend's house. Everything was immaculate, the furniture and decorations very tasteful and comfortable, the grounds gorgeous, the lake absolutely beautiful, and the owners could not have been nicer and more accommodating. I went there to celebrate my 65th birthday with a few friends and my dog, Walter, and we had a wonderful time. I did not go any farther than the hiking path, the fire pit and the lake, and that was exactly how I wanted it. As I was leaving, I was trying to come up with a definition of the owners, Elaine and Bob, and I would say "salt of the earth" people. I would have loved to have had more interaction with them, but because of the pandemic it was minimal, but lovely just the same. Thank you Elaine and Bob, I would be honored to be a regular guest of your guest house.

Perfect Fall Weekend
We stayed for 3 relaxing days with our dog at the cottage. The moment we entered the property and saw the view, our stress melted away. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and took advantage of the paddle boat. We also loved sitting by the fire or on the dock. The cottage is beautiful and well maintained, the details both in and out are superb. If you are looking for a relaxing vacation in a beautiful setting, book this cottage. We loved everything about it and hope to return.

My Favorite Getaway
This beautiful house on Lily Lake has become my favorite getaway. Comfortable, private, beautiful, surrounded by nature--it's a welcome retreat from a busy world and, let's face it, stressful times. This is my third time staying here and I will continue to return over and over again.

A Perfect Getaway
My husband and I spent a week at this perfect lake house. If I were to have a second home for the two of us, this would be it. The grounds were beautifully landscaped and the interior of the cottage was wonderful down to the last detail - modern, with high quality finishes, but with a craftsman-era feel. We also loved the two outdoor areas, a screened porch overlooking the lake and dock, and a stone patio with grill off the kitchen. Bob, the owner, who lives in another house on the property, couldn’t have been nicer or more responsive when we had two small issues. In addition to being on a beautiful lake, the cottage is near some wonderful recreation areas, including Ricketts Glen State Park, with a spectacular trail that takes you closely past 22 waterfalls. If you like vacations with nightlife and fancy restaurants then this is probably not the place for you. If you want to relax in a lovely little cottage in a gorgeous setting, you will love this place.

About the host

Hosted by Sal Deluca

Host profile image
Our family has spent summers at Lily Lake since the mid-1950s. Each generation has used it in its own way, but the place's natural beauty, fun, and relaxation have remained mostly unchanged through the years. For the last decade, we've decided to make it our full-time home and now would like others to have the opportunity to enjoy a little bit of what we've built our lives around.

Why they chose this property

The Lily Lake Guest House is on a parcel adjacent to our primary residence. As our family has grown, we use for get-togethers and holidays. It's far enough to offer our family and family a bit of seclusion, but close enough that we can easily spend time together.

What makes this property unique

We've tried to create a place with many modern conveniences yet one that maintains the popular rustic cottage style of the 1920s. Guests can enjoy heated bathroom floors and Internet access but also bear witness to the passage of time with the simple stone-and-mortar foundation created of rock found on the property, the original yellow pine clapboard siding and Douglas Fir flooring, the open-air patio and screened porch, and the structure's simple yet functional layout.
