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!

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 cabin in the woods

Lovely rustic cabin. The deer came to our back door and ate out of our hands. Beautiful area on Lake Wally. Just what we wanted, quietness.

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.

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!

nice cabin but...

This was a nice cabin however, I was disappointed that it was not cleaned inside. There were cobwebs on light fixtures, very dusty on tables and lampshades and spider webs inside all the windows and on the walls. I realize it is in the woods but I am referring to the inside. The Microwave and refrigerator was not clean. Smashed bug on the wall in a bedroom. The propane gas grill outside was completely rusted and the burners were rusted through and broken in half and there was no way to grill on it. The cabin is very nice and the location too. I hope it is cleaned thoroughly for the next visitor.

Incredible weekend

We had a wonderful stay at this property. Was very comfortable. Wonderful neighborhood and community. We saw deer on the property every day multiple times a day. Enjoyed our nights around the fire pit. It was a great attachment with not having a TV would highly recommend it to anyone who’s looking to get away and just decompressing online to stay here.

Cozy Cabin with incredible fireplace

This cabin felt like home. It was warm and inviting and I loved the fires we had every night. The cabin is spacious, clean and had a good supply of essentials in the kitchen. We hope to visit again, maybe in the warmer weather when we can enjoy the lake and our kayaks! Susan

Cozy cabin walking distance to Lake Wallenpaupack.

Great Cabin for our fall weekend away. Bed was very comfortable, but don't forget to bring sheets/towels. My husband and I were able to launch our kayaks just down the street and my husband did a little fishing too. (The floating dock was removed for the season). We walked around the neighborhood, enjoyed s'mores by the nice outdoor fire pit and saw lots of deer during our stay. We had a nice lunch at Ringside Fire Grill and got some great baked goods at the General Store, both just minutes from the cabin. We are already looking to book a return visit for the summer.

Relaxing in the rain

Although it rained the entire time we were there, it was relaxing. Cottage was in a great location. The kitchen had everything. We were visited by the deer which made our stay memorable. Bill was very helpful.

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.

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.
