Lazy River Cottage on the Delaware River

Newly renovated cottage right on the Delaware River with direct river access and prime fishing and bird watching spots. River view from every room.

"Nestles high on the bank of Delaware River stood a wooden shack. Despite its humble composition, the shack commands a panoramic view of the rushing water below.

One day a couple bought it. They set out to restore the cabin to a state fitting for its idyllic location and placement. They named the shack “Lazy River Cottage”. Someday, they want to live there, simply and joyfully. They picture spending their days fishing, reading, drinking sweet sun tea, lounging on the wraparound deck and looking at the glimmering river through the rustling leaves.

At dusk, they would enjoy a cozy meal in the candle light. After dark, they huddle around the fire table, gazing up a starry sky searching for the International Space Station.

When it rains, they would put a record on the turntable, light the fireplace, sit on the sofa by the windows and hear the water dripping through the branches of chestnut trees above…

So, before Lazy River is turned into a full time residence, you are invited to come and stay. Come and share the sublime and ever-changing scenery that nature has provided. Come and taste the living in a cottage that was created with warmth, care, and affection.” - Slow Paddler Diary, December, 2019.

Weekend Getaway
The cottage was perfect! Everything about the cottage was just as it was described. The cottage was neat as a pin upon arrival, we got in at night and David had the light on and music playing for us. Would definitely recommend the Cottage to others as the perfect weekend retreat.

A lovely quiet retreat
The cabin was just as described. A great, clean space for us to enjoy our time and get away from the city. A nice, small kitchen allowed us to cook meals and enjoy as we watched the river go by. There is an excellent selection of records to choose from as you spend your time.

Excellent riverside retreat
Very nice place to unplug, lots of really nice touches and even a kitchen area that’s better stocked than you might expect. We’re able to cook some great meals, enjoy the fireplace and record player, and take in the awesome view of the river from the wall to wall windows of the main living space. Would love to return in the warmer weather to take better advantage of the property and fire pits!

What a beautiful, secluded location everything was perfect. The ambience the amenities inside the home was fantastic. The only thing was there weren’t any blinds on the windows which was a little unnerving, but I got used to it overall we definitely would be back again.
