Start your morning off with a fresh cup of coffee while watching the sunrise over the lake. Less than an hour from NYC, enjoy your staycation at this newly renovated cottage in a peaceful lake community. Relax on the patio while enjoying the tranquility of nature and creating wonderful memories. Only minutes away from watersports, boating, mini golf, local farms & wineries, and lots of great restaurants & bars. If you are looking to launch your boat for the day, we are across the street from a marina. Less than 5 mins to swimming, 7 min to Hopatcong State Park, 10 mins from Rockaway Mall, and 30 min to Mountain Creek. Upon booking, I will provide you with my guidebook, which has more information on things to do and places to go in the area.
The cottage has a bright, airy feel. There are 2 bedrooms. The master bedroom sleeps 2 with a king bed and a Smart TV. The second bedroom, sleeps 1-2, with a twin trundle bed that turns into a king. If you need of a crib or highchair, please let me know and I will have it setup upon arrival.
The living room has a sofa that folds into a king size bed with a 50" Smart TV and indoor fireplace. We offer Netflix to all our guests, feel free to log into your own accounts for other streaming services. The kitchen is fully stocked with kitchen tools & essentials. As a chef myself, I wanted to make sure one has the necessary tools to make anything they want to. If there is something specific you are looking for please reach out to check!
Looking for a memorable experience? We offer culinary experiences such as a private chef to make that birthday dinner even more special, have a ladies night with wine & chocolate dessert making, or order a customer treats/charcuterie boards. Please reach out to me for more details.

PARKING: We have 2 parking spaces with a 2 car max. There is no street parking available. Parking elsewhere may result in towing at Guest's expense.
GETTING AROUND: It is best if you have a car to get around town. However, the nearest NJ Transit station is 7 minutes away by car. Trains come directly from NY & Newark Penn Stations. You can use Uber & Lyft to get around if you do not have a car, but best to schedule/order a ride ~15-20 minutes ahead of time as they can take a while since we are in a very mountainous area.
HOUSE ACCESS: have full access to the backyard/patio.

- Living near a lake is beautiful, but it also means teeming with nature! While we do utilize pest control services, we are unable to offer any guarantees or refunds for the occasional bug that may make it inside our home. We do our best to prevent this from occurring and guests can help by keeping the doors closed, making sure all window screens are down, not leaving food out, and disposing of trash. Please do not remove or touch any of the traps located around the home as they are part of our remediation.
