Cot N Munch is one of the most private and peaceful properties located on the mighty Penns. The view and calm which you have from here will leave you in awe. It is located in a remote rural area at the end of a private lane. We have recently undergone some remodeling and now hopefully can offer you a vacation property to fulfill you're every need.
As of 2020 we are pet friendly, rules and fees apply, 1 or 2 adult dogs only.
Cot N Munch is a very quaint 2 bedroom cabin located on the banks of the Penns creek. It is located on stocked water, so you will have the usual on off flow of passing fishermen, but when they are gone, you get to stay. For all you Fly fishermen, you now have another 4 miles of incredible water for catch and release. The fire ring area and the cabin have undergone extensive remodeling to add and create a more private situation for you. The new view from the fire ring and the end porch are actually much more enjoyable then before. Now, in the living room is a newly recovered 1908 Brunswick pool table. Please, read and follow posted use instructions. We have also added a horseshoe and quit area, along with more landscaping enhancements.
The kitchen includes everything you will need as mentioned, except food. We supply heavy duty paper place settings, regular silverware and utensils. Please, dispose of all food scraps as instructed and separate recyclables and burnables. Follow posted rules and remember what you read in the rental agreement.
There is a table located in the front nook which is an ideal place to enjoy your morning coffee or to sit with your lap-top and enjoy the added benefit of available Wi-Fi/internet. You may use the log on information posted on the side of the router setting on the fireplace mantel. In the area between the kitchen and the computer nook is the dining room with the old farm table that accommodates up to 6 people. In this area you will find a gas burning fireplace and a gas burning wall unit. Directions as to their use is posted, please follow. We've added Mini-splits in the kitchen-dining room, living room and upstairs main bedroom which more than take care of your cooling and heating needs.
Up the stairs is a bedroom containing two singles and a full bed. Walking through to a Semi-private bedroom with a double bed. Also enjoy the second story deck. Please. no more than 8 people on deck at any time. Downstairs is the master bedroom with a queen bed. With the 3 bedrooms you can comfortably sleep 6 people. In the living room is a futon and a pull-out single bed if more sleeping needs are necessary. The cabin bathroom contains an eco-friendly composting toilet, with easy-to-follow posted directions for its use. Please, nothing other than toilet paper and composting materials in toilet. There is a waste can for other paper and a small can on the floor for male or female personal hygiene products. There is a water container and an old-fashioned bowl and picture for quick wash-ups. Just a few steps from the cabin is the shower-house. In this building you will find two showers with easy access to a heated dressing room. Also, in this partially enclosed building you will find a double bowl sink which is our fish cleaning station where you can gather water for cooking, washing pots, pans and utensils in provided basins or cleaning your catch from the creek. If you feel like a real pioneer, feel free to use the outhouse. To the rear of the property is a large two bay structure to keep your vehicles under roof or to store your kayaks and or bicycles. Also, a Gas grill. Follow posted rules on its use and remember to turn off gas when done. On the porch you will find an old glider and table for 4 to sit and sip your morning coffee or your afternoon beverage. Hanging on the porch are several mountain pie makers for your use at the fire-ring, inside, a bag with hot dog forks. Please, clean these before leaving and return to their proper place. The fire-ring area has lighting and power if you need to plug something in such as a crock-pot for your outside dining. There is also an old log holder and grills at fire-ring if you decide to prepare your meals on an open fire. We've found that the mountain pie makers work quite well to cook burgers.
Bonfires are welcome, there is enough wood in the log holder for a weekend. Please, be reasonable with your fires and use of wood. Make sure your fire is extinguished before you leave or before you retire for the evening. If there is a burn-ban in effect, we will apprise you of that situation upon your arrival. We encourage you to pick up any sticks lying about on the property and place them in the fire-ring, thank you.
There will be fresh linens on all beds upon your arrival, along with wash clothes and dish towels. Bath towels and wash clothes are provided to accommodate the number of guests listed on your rental agreement. For those that wish, a middle of week exchange for new will be arranged. We provide dish soap only in shower-house. Bathing soaps and or shampoos are up to you. Feel free to bring your own pillows, bedding and bath towels if so desired. Please, if you sleep in any of the beds remove all bedding and place on a pile in the dining area along with used bath and kitchen towels and wash clothes, prior to your leaving. If you don't remove bedding, we don't know if you slept in it so as to prepare for the next guest.
Rules on waste disposal, burnables and recycling are posted in the cabin and listed in the rental agreement. Not following the rules and policies will result in a fee from your security deposit. Amount posted in rental agreement.
All switches are marked as to their use.
There is no smoking inside the cabin. There are several milk cans at various locations for your butts, along with the fire-ring. Please do not discard butts on the grounds anywhere. We will be walking the grounds after your leaving and you will be assessed a fee from your security deposit if we have to clean up after you. Again, amount listed in rental agreement.

There is no parking of RVS during your stay. Parking areas are easily distinguished from grass areas. No driving through or in yard areas.
Please, do not attempt to move picnic tables. The chairs around the fire-ring may be moved anywhere within reason except to your home. Do not play, walk or allow children to play on the stone wall along the front of the property. Do not move or remove any stones from said wall. It was one of my last labors of love prior to my back surgery and as you can imagine took quite some time and energy.
Cot N Munch is not an all night party place. While we do not discourage the use of alcoholic beverages, we do ask that you be reasonable in your use. On occasion you will have neighbors at their site next to you. Respect them and their privacy. Quiet time is 10:00 PM.
Remember to check the cabin and garage along with shower-house for any and all personal items you brought along. Please, remove any and all leftover food and drink items from refrigerator.
Because we use the property also you will see that we have a lot of personal items there, pictures, tools, antiques and quite a vast CD collection. Items both in the cabin and the garage, we hope that you will leave everything as and where it is.
Please remember also, you are in the woods. During your visit you may encounter wild animals and snakes. Do your best to leave them alone and they will do the same for you.Do not encourage them by leaving food scraps or garbage anywhere other then it's proper place.
In closing, all we ask is you leave it like you found it. In doing this you will help to keep the cost of Cot N Munch affordable for yourself and others. We ask that you do this so we can continue to make Cot N Munch available and affordable to you and to all those that need the peace and calm they find here. Although, VRBO allows us up to 2 weeks to return your security deposit, it is usually released as soon as we have a chance to check out the condition you have left the cabin in upon your departure.
