Welcome to our serene lakeside cottage, nestled in the calm waters of the cove on Lake Owassa, NJ. Lake Owassa, a natural spring fed lake located in northwest NJ, is recognized as one of NJ's cleanest lakes. Just 90 minutes outside of New York City, this rental property is a great vacation spot! Come here to get away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the world, and experience the countryside and nature of scenic Sussex County, NJ.
Our cottage is a lake front property with a 100' shoreline. Beautiful green lawns lead from the large deck right up to the water's edge. You can walk right into the lake, making it perfect for young children. The cove waters are wake free. Boaters must observe trolling speed at all times. This provides for a safer and more relaxing swimming experience. Lake Owassa is annually stocked with many types of indigenous and hybrid fish.
The lake is a great place to cast your favorite lure! A paddle boat is also provided, which allows you to venture out on to the lake and further enjoy the beautiful vistas. The fully enclosed porch provides comfortable seating to gaze upon the Appalachian Trail, or take your meals while looking upon the water. If you prefer to dine outside, you can. A gas grill is provided on the spacious deck, great for barbecues!
There are four bedrooms. Two bedrooms sleep two in bunk beds. One bedroom sleeps one in a twin bed. There is also a master bedroom with a bay window overlooking the lake front. The master bedroom sleeps two in a full bed. A roll-away cot is also provided.
A welcome binder laden with shopping brochures and local activities from around the area will help you plan out your days and nights. The cottage is just fifteen minutes away from Olde Lafayette Village, a popular outlet mall. There are also many antique stores to browse just minutes from your door. Five miles down the highway is Skylands Stadium. This ballpark gives you the chance to catch a minor league baseball game, featuring the Sussex Skyhawks!
We are also only ten minutes from Sunrise Mountain on the Appalachian Trail, found in and Stokes State Forest. It is a perfect destination for hiking, sightseeing, and biking. There are many great restaurants in the area which vary from fine Italian cuisine, sizzling steaks or a fun Mexican dining experience, Mariachi band and all!
The cottage is available from Memorial Day through Halloween, on a weekly or monthly basis. Nightly rentals (four night minimum) are available Labor Day through Halloween. Summers filled with warmth and lively atmosphere are a great time spent on the lake. Whether a family, a couple, or just by yourself, this cottage is the right choice for fun and relaxation. Autumn is a breathtaking time for "peepers" to enjoy the crisp country air and to take in the beauty of the changing leaves.
We are a children and pet friendly cottage!
