About this property

Mountain Creek 10 min away-Ski, Board, Tube. Historic Mt. top home in Vernon NJ

Welcome to my Glenwood Mountain home located in beautiful Sussex County, Vernon township in the northwest corner of New Jersey.
Home sits on 1.6 tranquil acres, National Park land behind and adjacent to the Appalachian Trail. Escape and step back into time. Originally built in the 1800's this home boasts country character and old world charm. My love of antiquing and unique collections has fully furnised this home.
Recently renovated & keeping with it's rustic appeal. Wide plank floors and beams in the living room and bedrooms, spacious bathroom with a deep antique claw foot tub, perfect for a nice hot bubble bath. Surrounded by nature, relaxation inside and out. Sussex County is well-known as a four-season recreational community. With our mountains and more than 80 lakes and streams, thousands of visitors are attracted here each year to enjoy the beautiful fall foliage, apple/ pumpkin picking, skiing in 2 major areas, 7 award winning golf courses all within a 5 mile radius, one of the worlds largest water parks, hiking, swimming, boating, fishing, NJ State Fair and Orange Co. (NYS) , festivals, antiquing in the beautiful historic town of Warwick, upscale restaurants with renowned chefs, to casual dining, cafe's and so much more. There is even a Drive-in theater in Warwick NY... all within minutes away.
For those truly looking to relax & unwind. Escape the commotion, hassle and bustle of your daily living. Enjoy natures surroundings listening to the birds, watching the deer and turkey cross, or squirrels on a chase. Travel the Appalachian Trail & bordering trails that open up to beautiful spring fed lakes only minutes from the house. Pack a lunch, grab a pole, throw out a line and enjoying some fishing. Take some quiet time to read a book, relax in the hammock, draw/ paint, perfect photo opportunities await or perhaps a possible song to compose while sitting around the fire pit. According to some of the old timers and as legend has it, locals gathered around sippin moonshine in the old still located on the property. Remains of a rock foundation stand in the back yard of what once housed a cow which provided fresh milk for the family then later to become a still to provide some entertainment and extra income. Many of songs and poems were written about these hills....
This home offers both rustic and modern amenities, is clean, comfortable and in a great central location.
Come visit, get away, relax and enjoy life in the country, beautiful Sussex County with people and nature together.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

This quaint cabin made a great place for a quiet getaway. The 5 minute ride to the Appalachian Mountain trail made for a fun adventure. Lisa made sure all our needs were met! She is a premier host whether VRBO says it or not.

Great autumn stay

This is a lovely spot, one that has a wonderful atmosphere, cozy, and in a wooded area among farmland, the Appalachian Trail, and local sites (taverns, outdoor festivals, breweries/wineries). Dog-friendly, too, which is a huge plus. Looking forward to another visit.

Clean, quaint, isolated house

If you’re looking for a clean, quaint house surrounded by trees, this would be a good pick. I imagine it’s especially cozy in the winter. Fire pit is a nice attraction for cool nights.

Great stay at lovely home

We had an outstanding stay at this house. It’s located near many hiking trails and we were able to take full advantage of that. The house was clean, well appointed and comfortable. We enjoyed spending the mornings in the patio area. Although we were only there a few days there are many things to do in the area and the host has a book/folder with dozens of local brochures to help keep you find your preferred activities. Overall, just a great stay.

Perfect Relaxing Getaway

We had a wonderful stay with our dog, Rosie. The cottage was very clean and well equipped with everything we needed. It was close to several State Parks and Forests, not to mention the Appalachian Trail for hiking. Lisa was very communicative, and we really appreciated her telling us about an evening Car Show at a nearby farm that was a dog-friendly event. We had a great time at the Car Show and a very relaxing getaway. Thank you!!

Tranquil and cozy

Lisa was a fabulous host who checked in just enough. The cabin is cozy and exactly like pictures. We spent a lot of time outside on the patio and exploring the wealth of local trails and outdoor activities. You feel very secluded yet are so close to anything you need like 13 minutes to a full grocery store!

Peaceful, great location & well stocked

We couldn’t of asked for anything more-a lovely, peaceful setting, any amenities you could think of-including a little kids bath toys, spices, flash lights, bug spray, games, washer & dryer etc. Communication with the owner was easy and she was very informative. House was spotless & the grounds beautiful. You can get away from it all while still having tons to do with a short drive. One note-steps to the bedrooms are steep & open & bathroom is in the first floor. We will definitely return to this property!

Adorable & Cozy pets loved it too! 5 month stay

During our home restoration we were so happy to find this listing that allowed pets. We stayed for 5 months thanks to our insurance company. Little did we know that this little gem had an owner that was caring, loving, available and just an overall fantastic person. I highly recommend this property for people looking to get away or if being relocated by your insurance company and don’t want to have to be without your fur babies. We loved it ❤️

Perfect little spot for a Spartan race weekend

Host was incredibly great with communication shortly after booking the listing letting me know everything about the property which I really appreciate. It was exactly what I needed for the amount of people I had coming, I had a last minute friend need to stay the one night and after letting them know they told me it would be a $50 fee which was perfect. Again communication was incredible. The place was cute, rustic, very well decorated for a quiet getaway in the mountains. I will be communicating with them in the future.
