Sunset Cottage - Lakefront Cottage with Private Dock
Sunset Cottage is cozy, quaint, charming, and perfectly positioned for sunny days on the water. This 1940s lakefront gem sits just steps from Lake Wallenpaupack, from your front door to dipping your toes in the water is under 200 feet. Whether you’re paddling out at sunrise, grilling lakeside, or winding down by the fire pit as the sun sets in a burst of color, this cottage offers a peaceful summer retreat for couples, families, or friends.
Inside, the cottage combines vintage warmth with modern comfort. The open dining area offers sweeping lake views, and the electric fireplace adds a soft glow for quiet evenings indoors.
You’ll have private lake access and your own brand-new dock (2024) — perfect for swimming, boating, fishing, or simply lounging in the sun with a good book.
Included with your stay: • Peddle boat • 2 paddle boards • 2 kayaks • Private dock (available Memorial Day weekend through September)
Power boats are welcome, bring your own and tie off to the dock. (Please note: jet ski slips are not available for renters.)
A few things to note: • The cottage’s original 1940s charm means the bathroom is small and features a compact sink, as shown in the photos. It’s cozy but functional, in keeping with the cottage’s quaint character. • Access to the dock involves a short walk down an incline with stone and wooden steps. Guests with MOBILITY concerns should use CAUTION. • Lake levels can fluctuate — expect high water in early summer (walkway may be slightly submerged) and shallower shorelines by late August.
Amenities: • Linens & towels included • Starter supply of toiletries, toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags • Parking for 3 vehicles • Ring cameras outside for security
House Rules: • No PETS or PARTIES • Dock available Memorial Day weekend through September
From sunrise paddles to sunset cocktails by the water, Sunset Cottage is where lake days linger and summer memories last.

We have stayed here 3 times! It is a perfect retreat! Beautiful view of the lake. Even in the off-season, there was much less traffic on the lake so it was really quiet. The cottage is quaint and cozy.
We loved the house! It was clean and well stocked with supplies, towels, etc.Loved the little touches and how it was decorated. They gave the house a welcome, comfortable feeling. The views from the sun room facing the Lake were wonderful. We enjoyed the yard and the dock.
Loved the convenience of owner provided lines, towels, soap, paper products. Nicely decorated cute cabin. Direct access to lake. Easy to park your vehicle. Home was clean. Appropriate for small groups. My only criticism is the extremely small bathroom (but updated) and the bare bulb overhead lighting in the living room. Reasonable price.
The place was perfect for us ( 2 people in their 80s) except for getting down to the lake. Probably not an issue for younger people.We did mange to hike in the parks nearby, 3 of the 4 days we stayed. We saw multiple deer and returning from Bushkill Falls we saw a black bear only 30 ft off the road. Very exciting.The location is perfect for a vacation in the mountains. We strongly recommend staying there.
This is the gem we have been looking for. Small but big enough for a family of four, lake front, clean, nicely decorated and well equipped. The hosts thought of literally everything and are super responsive. Already planning a return trip!
This lake home is a piece of heaven. They view is spectacular and such a nice way to relax and unwind. The hosts were great to work with and quick to answer any questions. House was very clean and stocked with more than could of been expected. Beds were very comfortable. We will definitely be back!
A well-appointed Sunset Cottage provided my husband and I with the quiet retreat we hoped for. We particularly appreciated the lake view from anywhere on the property, and the Adirondack chairs set closer to the lake made sunbathing and after-dinner relaxation very pleasant treats. The only downside we found was that we had hoped to utilize the property's access to the lake for fishing and use of the paddle boat, however, the rocky terrain and lack of railings kept us senior citizens from partaking. With all else that this booking offered, we considered that a mild disappointment.All-in-all, we had a very comfortable, quiet and relaxing week. Thank you to the hosts.
This place was beautiful! Porch/dining area was huge , with beautiful views. Everything was clean, neat and every amenity was available. We took advantage of the kayak, pedal boat and paddle boards, and the fire pit, watching the sunset.
Beautiful view of the lake! We enjoyed sitting down by the lake on the Adirondack chairs taking in the view. The cottage was very clean and cozy and the AC unit was super efficient! We would definitely go back again!
The view was lovely and the paddle boat and kayaks were a lot of fun!

Hi Michele,
Thank you for the 5 star review! I am so happy you enjoyed the paddle boat and kayaks. I enjoy the kayaks too and taking them to nearby Kipp island.
Thank you! Amber
Very quaint property. Beds were very comfortable, kitchen has more than enough supplies needed to live for a week! Dining room has a perfect view of the lake! The propane grill was nice to cook a burger a dog on which is all we needed! One of the best things we loved was the fire pit which looks out over the lake. We spent every night there with a fire and enjoyed watching the sunset!! We will be back!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home. Beautiful view and the owner of the property well stocks the home not only with the necessities but also with paddleboards, a paddle boat, and dock which was great for fishing. Clean property inside and out.

Hose was very clean and neat. Had everything we needed and the host got back with answers to my questions very quickly. The bathroom was a little small but not a real issue.

Hi Louise,
Thank you for the 5 star review! I am so happy you enjoyed your week at the cabin. I know it is my favorite place to spend time.
Thanks! Amber
My family and I had a great time on our vacation. It was our first time renting a cabin and the location to the lake was great. The view from the dining room window was amazing and one of my favorite things. We were also able to use a paddle boat for the first time which came with the rental. I can’t wait to go to the lake again next year highly recommended.

Classic cottage feel. Communication with owners was easy and efficient. Property had all the basics plus extras like lake access and toys to play with such as paddle board and kayaks. If you’re looking for a traditional cottage at the lake, this is your place

Hi Amanda,

Thank you!

We really enjoyed our stay! The house is exactly as described, despite the small size, it has everything you need for a great enjoyable trip. The host is very responsive! The dock was great as we brought our own wave runners! The kids also enjoyed the kayaks. We would recommend this house. I just would bring an air pump as that is the only thing the house does not have.
