About this property
Lazy River Cottage on the Delaware River
Newly renovated cottage right on the Delaware River with direct river access and prime fishing and bird watching spots. River view from every room.
"Nestles high on the bank of Delaware River stood a wooden shack. Despite its humble composition, the shack commands a panoramic view of the rushing water below.
One day a couple bought it. They set out to restore the cabin to a state fitting for its idyllic location and placement. They named the shack “Lazy River Cottage”. Someday, they want to live there, simply and joyfully. They picture spending their days fishing, reading, drinking sweet sun tea, lounging on the wraparound deck and looking at the glimmering river through the rustling leaves.
At dusk, they would enjoy a cozy meal in the candle light. After dark, they huddle around the fire table, gazing up a starry sky searching for the International Space Station.
When it rains, they would put a record on the turntable, light the fireplace, sit on the sofa by the windows and hear the water dripping through the branches of chestnut trees above…
So, before Lazy River is turned into a full time residence, you are invited to come and stay. Come and share the sublime and ever-changing scenery that nature has provided. Come and taste the living in a cottage that was created with warmth, care, and affection.” - Slow Paddler Diary, December, 2019.

The fireplace was perfect to get the morning chill out. Kitchen had enough supplies for breakfast and dinner. I grilled our meals. Breakfast and dinner. The view of the Delaware was amazing, inside or outside of the cottage. My wife enjoyed the speaker system while we were in the cottage. The host was quick and informative when asked about things in the area. Fishing on site was nice. PA. sells a 3 day fishing license.
The property was clean and very cozy. Our only note would be that other houses are close enough that it would be nice to have the option to draw curtains or blinds for a bit of extra privacy.
The cottage was clean and well appointed with everything we needed for our stay. It was nice to be able to sit outside and enjoy the scenery. There was adequate space in the living area to spread out to play games, read, relax and eat.
Everything stood out- the view, the details, the unique fixtures. We especially loved the rotary phone and the fireplace.The host was also extremely hospitable. We loved the expansive views of nature and the river. One of our favorite places we’ve stayed as a couple- if not our favorite.
Another beautiful stay at the Lazy River Cottage! This was our second time here and loved it even more this time! An amazing place to celebrate with romantic vibes and a beautiful setting! Can’t wait for our next stay!
We had such a nice time. The lazy river cottage was the perfect place for a relaxing couple days away. Everything we needed was there and David was easy and great to communicate with. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
We loved this place. The check-in process and check-out was very simple and straightforward and David was accommodating to our request for a late check out. The cottage is lovely, just as advertised. The kitchen is well stocked and the space is perfect for two people. We can’t wait to stay again!
