Cottage on House Pond

Intimate Lakefront country cottage on beautiful House Pond. Just 3 minutes from the Lake Wallenpaupack boat launch and 5 minutes from shopping, restaurants, bars, boat tours, fantastic hiking trails, and more. At this quiet, newly renovated (2022) retreat, you can experience great fishing, incredible sunrises and sunsets, bald eagles, blue herons, deer, various birds, and other wildlife. Relax and dine on the deck or lakeside flagstone patio while enjoying crackling embers in the fire pit. The space This newly-renovated (summer 2022) country cottage was lovingly re-crafted with features such as vaulted ceilings and skylights, reclaimed distressed timbers, all new premium beds, appliances and a queen-size sleeper sofa. Beautiful lake views are afforded from the living room and an outdoor dining-ready, cable-railed deck. The kitchen features concrete countertops, maple cabinetry, an antique granite island, and the entire house has threshold-free bamboo flooring. The home is embellished throughout by original works of art by regional artists. Super-fast internet speeds power your devices and smart home tech throughout. All bedrooms feature 55” OLED smart televisions and convenient device power stations. Guest access The entire home is available to guests with the exception of the following: • a locked closet in bedroom 1 that is privately used to store the host's items. • overhead storage in bedroom 1, bathroom, and study is not for guest use. • the outside-accessible utility basement beneath the house. • the outside shed is not for guest use and is restricted to children out of safety concerns. Other things to note PARKING: The driveway parking area is large enough to permit a full turnaround for a trailored boat, jetskis, ATV, etc. It can accommodate up to 6 cars. FIREPIT: We provide the wood and starter materials for the fire pit. No need to bring your own. We got you covered! NATURE: Chances are good you will experience bald eagles in flight (or at least their calls from the adjacent nest) or encounter one or more of the many resident deer on our property. When it comes to nature, the Cottage on House Pond is truly magical. CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT: While we will accommodate if possible, we generally do not permit early check in and late check outs because we book our cleaners for a certain time and usually cannot change it due to their very busy schedules. If circumstances are such that you MUST check out later than the 11am check-out time, please notify us immediately through airBnB and we'll accommodate if we can. CLEANING: Our cleaning fee helps to pay for the cleaning of the entire home. Washing of all our linens/comforters/pillow cases/pillow protectors/bath towels/hand towels is conducted at the conclusion of every stay. WINTER SAFETY: The roads and weather are always unpredictable in the winter. We recommend at least all-wheel drive vehicles to our winter guests. If a snow storm does occur during your stay, we will have our snow plowing service clear the driveway and the hosts will clear steps and walkways. Please be patient as our plowing service is handling a wide range of clients all looking for service. We will be in contact prior to any meaningful snow storms just to check in about details and needs for our guests.
