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.

Fun fishing cottage

We enjoyed our time at the cottage. Even caught a few fish out back! While the place isn't fancy, it did have everything you could possibly need for a quiet family vacation by the river.

Great little getaway

Everything was great, the cabin was the perfect little getaway from home. It was so relaxing being right by the water and sitting out on the porch. The owner was quickly responsive to any questions we had. Thanks for the stay!

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.

It's a nice, cozy little place on the water. Earl was very quickly responsive to anything that we needed. My husband and I got there a little early so we asked if we could get into the property sooner. He replied right away and informed us that the cleaning lady was still there, but would be done shortly. He messaged me when she was done and allowed us to go in. We had an issue with the TV working, and he guided us through it. He even had the neighbor "Manny" (a very nice individual) come help us. He figured it out for us pretty quickly. We were very pleased with everything. Would definitely go again. Thank you for your hospitality!

Additional charge

The house is a man camp that advertised as pet friendly, We brought our 3 year old golden retriever who we had gotten groomed a few days before. The host requested an addition charge after we left for pet hair, even though there was no vacuum cleaner for us to use. There was also only one small partial roll of toilet paper so we had to buy our own.

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.
