Hyggelig sø Mohawk Retreat med Compy King size seng, søudsigt

My husband and I, along with another couple, really enjoyed our 3 night stay at this property. The highlights were it's convenient location to downtown Lake Mohawk (with restaurants, bars, shopping and an ice cream shop), its outdoor space with plenty of front patio seating, cooking gear (BBQ grill, new stove/oven, pots and pans), and a very charming bedroom with string lighting and a king sized bed. The only downside in staying at this property is the fact that Lake Mohawk is a private lake and so you cannot rent any boats or kayaks on it. We were though able to access its beaches without any problems and so were able to enjoy relaxing by the lake and swimming. Lake Hopatcong is also only about 25 minutes away and has boat rentals so we were able to head that way for a day of boating! Overall, we really enjoyed our stay!

The place was immaculately clean and well provisioned for a cottage rental. Check in and check out were seamless.

A group of a few friends were going to be in town for a wedding, and decided to make a weekend out of it. We stayed at the house Thursday-Sunday. It was very clean, and I was easily able to reach the owners with any questions or concerns, both before and during our stay. The town is close enough to walk to, but does have a fair amount of parking as well. Town is adorable, with quite a few options in terms of restaurants. We had a wonderful time during our stay.

Charlie and Joanne's house was just what we needed for our visit. The house is very unique and it is apparent that a lot of love and hard work has been put into it. There was plenty of space for us and our two adult daughters. It sleeps 6, but the tiny bathroom would make things a little tight for that many adults. We loved the large updated kitchen and new appliances. And the location is wonderful - in a quiet neighborhood, but close to major roads. We hope to stay again in the future!

We really enjoyed this house. My son & I Iive in the area, but my sister was coming for a visit & we don't have a guest room. She was planning to rent a hotel room but this worked out much better.

The living room is very spacious & the couches/recliners are comfy. It rained almost every day of our stay, so we spent a lot of time in here, but it never felt crowded. The kitchen is what sold me on this place--miles of counter space, and beautiful fridge & stove. Having a dishwasher and washer & dryer was very convenient, too.

A few observations:

--There is no dining room or table (or even coffee table) inside, and no picnic table outside (only a couple of small side tables). We didn't care, but it could be awkward for kids to try to eat on the couch without spilling, or for families who like to eat together. This also means there's no place for crafts, coloring, board games, etc. A card table & some folding chairs might fix this. (There is a small eating area in the kitchen, but it only seats 3, and none of us could sit there comfortably because the stools were too high.)

--There's only one bathroom. Of course, that's in the listing & wasn't a surprise, but even with only 3 adults, we had some...shall we say...scheduling conflicts, haha! The cabin can sleep 6, so if you had that many people, and/or some kids, it could be inconvenient. Also, the bathroom is miniscule; if you needed to help a child or elderly person, you'd probably have to stand in the shower! (Which is large and very nice, btw.)

--One bedroom is very small, with no furniture, just 2 twin mattresses on the floor. It's only appropriate for kids, IMO. I could hear my 6' tall son banging his arms and feet into the walls all night. (The other 2 bedrooms are larger, with very comfortable beds.)

--The driveway & stairs into the house are quite steep. I am mobility-impaired & it was rather difficult for me to get out of my car & into the house. (I recommend backing in to the driveway , especially if you have luggage or groceries.)

My son & sister kept saying, "I love this place!" once or twice every day. The owners were very attentive (texted a couple times to see if we needed anything) but not intrusive. We had a great stay.
