View north from the dock shows half of the lake, Culver's Gap. - Lake Owassa, NJ Private Lakeside Cottage Rental Welcome to our charming rustic lakeside cottage on Lake Owassa in Northwest New Jersey. The cottage (The Woodbine) dates back to 1921. You need not drive far from New York City to find a great vacation spot. On the other hand, we are no more than 1 1/2 hours from the city. (We often go into the city for shows and Yankee games!) The Woodbine is lake front and directly connected to the dock, only 30 feet from the front porch, by a shaded wooden path. Enjoy swimming, canoeing, kayaking or rowing in the boats at the cottage. There is a great screened-in wrap-around porch with a large dining area, an indoor dining room for more intimate dinners and an eat-in kitchen. Each of the bedrooms has vaulted ceilings and can comfortably accommodate two guests. One of the bedrooms actually has three single beds. The view across the lake is of the Kittatinny Mountains and the Appalachian Trail. It is wonderful to enjoy dinner on the porch overlooking the lake as the sun sets on the ridge. We have vacationed around the country in homes and condos and know what kinds of things are important to renters. Plenty of dishes and mugs for meals, towels for the lake, extra linens and blankets, listings of local restaurants, shops for "antiquing", rainy day activities list for adults or kids (including lots of games and videos/DVDs in the cupboard). The house is also child-friendly, with plenty of room on the porches for playing. Fishing is also good at the lake as people often pull out good sized bass and pickerel. There are many festivals and the New Jersey State Fair (you can visit their website to check out the dates) that are held at the Sussex County Fairgrounds each year which is only 5 miles from the cottage. Some of the more popular are the Crawfish Festival (Hugely popular with wonderful food and music!), Garden Shows, AKC shows, horse shows and of course, the state fair. The cottage is heated and available as a 3-season rental, from April 15th-October 31st, on a weekly basis. We cannot rent for only one night. Spring is a lovely time to be at the lake. Summer is warm and the sunsets can't be beat, but the Fall with all of the leaves changing colors is nothing short of spectacular! Sorry, no pets allowed. We are now taking reservations for the fall of 2008 and the summer of 2009. See below for pricing information. Rates for 2009 are the SAME as our 2008 rates if you reserve your weeks prior to January 31, 2009. Returning guest discount available, multiple week discount available.
