Wally’s Cottage |New|HotTub|Kayaks|Firepit|Central

Keeping the traditional cottage feel while meshing it with modern amenities and flare best describes this newly renovated cottage named after Wallenpaupack's Nickname "Wally".

You approach the front with a full length porch that has Adirondack chairs aside an antique ski lift from the old Vernon Valley Resort to relax in. Across the deck is a picnic table to enjoy a nice outdoor meal. Once inside, guests will find a brand new fully equipped kitchen ready for any cooking they plan to do. Updated Stainless Appliances including a dishwasher and Ice/Filtered drinking water are there for your comfort. The living room adjacent to the kitchen includes a 42" TV with Roku enabled. Below that is an easy to use propane fireplace (Turned off during Summer). Games located in the built-ins and guests will find a getaway guide which includes comprehensive information on the property and local area. Opposite corner of the living room you will find cozy dining room for 4 adjacent to the rear entry and spiral stairs.

Aside the dining room is full bathroom with a sliding glass enclosure. If you take the spiral stairs up you will enter the loft. This holds a Full and a Twin bed, while a desk is also available to get some work done if needed. The loft also has it's own mini-split for heat/AC. The master bedroom below holds a Queen bed with a small closet behind the entrance door.

Just through the rear door is the outside space. This may be one of the best aspects of the property. There is a chimenea right outside the backdoor perfect for roasting marshmallows and hanging out. You'll also find comfortable chairs under the Edison lights to enjoy the light breeze from the the lake just down the road. A newer 4 burner grill is also on the patio with provided propane. The rear yard and Game Shed are fully fenced in which is perfect for children or your four legged friends. Last but not least is the 2-person Hot Tub for you to enjoy relaxing

* Your booking included sheets, pillows (2 per guest), towels (1 per guest), wash clothes (1 per guest), 2 hand towels, toiletries (body wash, shampoo, and conditioner), and some basic supplies (Dish Soap, 2 dishwasher tablets, 2 trash bags, 2 paper towels, 2 toilet paper rolls, and hand soap) to get your stay started.

*There are 5 kayaks and a double-person canoe at the cottage that can be launched at the public boat launch a short drive away (You must transport).

*We do not provide firewood, but out front is a self service station with wood for sale provided by a local company (Cash or electronic payment) . This way you don't have to worry about to transporting it.

*There is no lake access with the property. You must use the public beach 5 minutes away or the public Launch.

*Please note there is a $75 one-time dog fee which allows you to bring up to 2 dogs onto the property during your trip. We are dog lovers but ask that you keep your furry friends off the furniture and clean up after them for the sake of other renters. Waste bags provided from dispenser in backyard. Add your dogs to the reservation for the dog fee to be applied please.

Wally's Cottage was perfect for my husband and dogs. The kitchen had everything needed to make a meal, the bed was very comfortable, the fenced in yard and gated deck were perfect to keep the dogs in or young child.I wished we spent more time in the backyard with the play shed, hot tub and chiminea. What a set up! We were appreciative of the home file provided that listed everything about the house and the area. Matt and Erin provided a lovely getaway in the pocono mountains. We would definitely stay here again!

Came to the cottage to check out the area for a retirement home.The cottage was nicely finished inside with everything we needed. The backyard and hot tub were amazing! We truly enjoyed our stay and plan to come back in the summer. The owner was very communicative and responded to any questions we had. This will be our “go to” place to stay as we search for our retirement home!

Cute, quiet cabin in the woods.

Overall my family and I loved the cabin and the quietness of the area. We reserved this particular cabin because of the hot tub, but were disappointed to learn that the heat pump went out before our arrival. We contacted the owners who were quick to respond and offer some guidance to remediate the problem. While it could not be fixed, the owners gave us a 100 refund.

We were looking for a quite get away and this fit the bill. Quiet area, especially since it looks like we booked just off season. The place was clean and well maintained. Communication was easy and he even let us know of an issue with the dishwasher beforehand, offering up free fire wood for the inconvenience! Overall an excellent 4 days

Lake Wally

Really liked the cottage. It's perfect for two and would be fine with 2 small children...need to be pretty nimble to get up the spiral stairs to the loft. Anything more than 4 people and I would book one of their other properties that are adjacent to this cottage. Close to the boat launch and even closer to a private ramp that charges $10 to lunch. Definitely worth it to avoid the mayhem of the public launch. Most amenities are within a couple of miles...groceries, beer/wine, Dunkin, CVS etc. Food in area is meh. We liked Wallenpaupack Brewing Company...didn't care much for the Ledges. Decent sandwiches at Lake Side Deli, across from the High School.

Cute cottage by the lake

Great inside newly renovated! Very clean and comfortable. Spiral stairway is tight, steep and smaller width wise.Easy for kids. Upstairs sleeps 2.ceiling angle on larger bed prevents 2 people from using it. Great location. , close to lake. Kyaks were great. Outside area needs some attention ; no fire pit. It is a chemenia. Enjoyed our stay. Itit.it.
