Riverfront cottage. Hiking, fishing, relaxing, pet friendly !

Enjoy nature on the river. Either at the picnic table by the fire ring, or inside this rustic cottage with knotty pine interior with screened in back porch, fireplace and Foosball table. Speaking of river , it's the best trout fishing spot on the river. You will love your stay at the Cozy Cottage on the Lehigh. Horses and snowmobiling allowed at Lackawanna state forest only 1/4 mile down the road. Close to many ski resorts. There are state forest and forest preserves all around the area great for hiking.
The space
The Cozy cottage on the Lehigh River has state gamelands and State forest across the road and a natural preserve across the river. Close to Jack Frost and Big Boulder ski resort. Also Lake Harmony and Pocono raceway. The tv is a smart TV, you will need a Netflix, YouTube or other streaming account to login.

Also Natural lands trust Bear creek preserve and Thomas Darling nature preserve are a few minutes away. To turn the showerhead on the diverter valve is on the end of the tub fill, just pull down. Very small holding tank. Please be resourceful with the water and do not flush anything but toilet paper.

Short getaway

It was a relaxing atmosphere, very private, and quiet. The thermostat was a bit annoying but beyond that the amenities were just fine and the linens were clean and the space was restful. Would book again.

River view property in Poconos

Cute little cottage dog friendly, great communication with owner Earl, he is very responsive to any questions or concerns. Main bed could use a new mattress or even just a pad for comfort. Suggest having carpet cleaned as some people obviously did not potty train dogs well. Otherwise nice cozy place to stay in the Poconos and reasonably priced.

Just what we needed after a busy holiday.

We booked our stay with intentions of relaxing and enjoying ourselves. The morning sun rising over the hills behind the river were wonderful. We also woke to some fresh snow. It was nice to be able to purchase wood at the property. 5 stars we will be back.

Great cabin in the woods

Booked a few nights at earls cabin to break up a long drive home. Had a very easy check in while arriving late and great communication from Earl. Cabin had everything you need for a comfortable stay. Right on the river with a beautiful view. There is a house next door very close to the cabin the neighbors were very nice but when sitting on the back porch / back yard they were very close so if your looking to be totally secluded its not but again neighbors were great and rive was beautiful. Good pick for a country stay.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

My daughter and I stayed here because we were in town for The Mud Girl Run. The house had all the basics that we needed. Communication with Earl, the host, was phenomenal. We stupidly locked ourselves out of the house while exploring the property and Earl spoke to us on the ring camera and helped us get in. We had a bit of trouble logging into Netflix on the TV (used our credentials accurately but still gave us an error) but that just made us play foosball and card games which was better anyway! We built a fire in the fire pit and made s’mores and saw a cute baby bear peeking at us from a neighbor’s house, then saw a family of bear cross the street into the woods. I was very happy with our stay!!!

Wonderful Little Hunting Cabin

This was a great place to rendezvous with our extended family. We stayed the whole time and our adult children and their kids visited us. There is a fence at the edge of the property over the river so we didn't have to worry about the kids when we walked over to the river (which you can see in the winter from the kitchen window.) Bear Creek Preserve has great trails, 5 min away. This place would be perfect in the summer. Adult Kids slept on air mattress in upstairs bedroom and said it was fine. Grandchildren thought the place was "super fine." Definitely warm enough. Pretty easy to find in the dark, with lots of light at night. (Very curvy country road.) Nice firepit with chairs and picnic table for the summer. The first picture of waterfalls is Buttermilk Falls, on the Bear Creek Preserve, about a 20 min drive away. The other waterfall is Choke Creek Falls, Pinchot State Park, Thornhurst, about 12 min away. Both are lovely hikes, great for dogs and kids. Our dog loved the place, wagged her tail as soon as she walked in. It feels comfortable. For folks with walking issues, there's easy access to living room and bedroom. There is a little 3 steps up and then down to the kitchen/bath at the bottom of the stairs to the top floor. We saw deer in the yard several times. The kids played with the Foosball table game. Had no trouble with hot water or the internet. Will definitely seek out this place again, both winter and summer.
