About this property

Peaceful Cottage by Lake Wallenpaupack, Dog Friendly!

Come stay at The Cottage, just a stone’s throw from desirable Lake Wallenpaupack and town of Hawley! The perfect place to land after a day on the lake, or out enjoying the many things the area has to offer. The home is tucked away in a peaceful, wooded, golf-cart friendly neighborhood, just off Rt. 507, across the street from the lake and is well-suited for a couples retreat, or a small family and in walking distance to the Lake.

Although secluded, we are only minutes from several restaurants, marinas, hiking trails, sightseeing, antique shops, boating, kayaking, the public beach, grocery stores, and more. We are also close by to Silver Birches if you are attending a wedding and need a comfortable place to stay!

☑ High Speed Wi-Fi on the house.
☑ *Dog friendly, up to two dogs, and charge a small $75 one time fee. Please add your pet to the reservation upon booking for this fee to be applied.
☑ Linens / pillows / blankets are supplied for all bedrooms.

DOG-FRIENDLY
We love having our fur baby with us on vaca, and are happy to offer that to you! We trust that your dog is potty-trained and well-behaved. We have a tie up out front and disposable bags for you to properly dispose of any pet waste. The $75 pet fee is a one-time fee, however additional charges may be incurred for excessive pet hair, particularly on the bedding, so we kindly ask to please keep dogs out of the beds.

*There are some friendly neighborhood dogs that like to stop by and say hello sometimes, as well as deer, bear and other wildlife that frequent the area. Please do not leave your dog unattended for any period of time, for both their safety, as well as the safety of the other animals in the neighborhood. Please note that the yard is NOT fenced.

We pride ourselves on having comfortable and clean beds for all of our guests. You are here to relax, so we know that a good nights rest is key. Wake up in this bedroom to the beautiful view of the trees through the panoramic windows in the 3-Season room.

3-SEASON ROOM/SUNROOM:
This room is the perfect place to enjoy the views of the trees and foliage through the large panoramic windows while you drink your morning cup of coffee. Join around the table (for 6) to enjoy a family dinner, a relaxing night cap, or a game night! We love watching the friendly neighborhood deer walk through the woods in the morning, and listen to the chirping crickets at night. This room has access through the primary bedroom, as well as the back deck off of the kitchen.

**This room is listed as a 3-Season room, as it is not insulated, therefore does get quite cold in the winter months. We have fold out dining trays that are perfect for dining indoors during the colder months.**

☑ Charcoal grill
☑ Large picnic table
☑ Fire pit for a relaxing evening with friends, or some marshmallow roasting!

** We do not supply charcoal for the grill, so you may need to pick some up if you plan on using the grill, or help yourself to any that has been left from previous guests. **

**The yard is on a pitch, but is not steep by any means. The yard is NOT fenced.**

**The neighborhood does have gravel roads, which do get icy in the winter months. Please keep this in mind if booking during this time of year.**

☑ Please no parties
☑ Please no third-party booking

I rented this for my parents so they could get away for their 55th wedding anniversary. They raved about how great their stay was. From booking through checking out, everything was simple. The property was clean and decorated very nicely. They loved the quietness and the beautiful views of the lake. Put this place on your list to book.

Wish we could've stayed longer!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The house was very clean and comfortable, and the dog pen next to the fire was perfect for our pups. I highly recommend this property and we will likely be back again in the near future!

The house was spotless and very comfortable for our family of 4. It was nice to have basic cleaning supplies and all the cupboards in the kitchen were labeled so finding what we needed was simple! Great location, convenient to town, close to the lake, and quiet.

Weekend Trip

The property was charming, well put together and very convenient for us to get to and from Lake Wallenpaupack. We didn't spend much time indoors, but what time we did, we were very happy with.

Late Winter getaway

We stayed at the cabin for a weekend so we could enjoy our favorite spots in Pike & Wayne county. The cabin was clean and very comfortable. We had a fire going in the wood stove for most of our stay which we enjoyed. The neighborhood is very quiet and the neighbors we met were very nice. Would definitely book another stay at the Peaceful Cabin!

Just wow!

Between the cleanliness of the cottage, the convenience to the lake and surrounding activities, and the supplied household items I was just amazed. The wonderful hospitality of our hosts was the icing on the cake. The process was easy at the start of booking and I truly enjoyed my stay. It was just a very well needed (last minute) and memorable weekend. If you’re looking for a small, quaint, pet friendly beautiful weekend away I would 10/10 recommend this cozy cottage. I will definitely be back. And I will surely recommend it to others.

Ok winter stay

Overall it was good, but not spectacular. The owners did a nice job with the space and it was nicely functional. The fireplace was great. I also appreciate the pet friendliness. However, there were some issues. When we walked in, we found a random piece of broken glass next to the bed in one room, and one of the towels had multiple brown stains. Check-in process was easy, but the host did not respond to me with check-out instructions, so I had to hope we did everything right. Last - the house is next to a highway which you can hear especially in winter, so it was not as peaceful/secluded as I hoped, but the street itself was quiet.
