Private- Vernon NJ- Historic Mt. top home. Serenity awaits...

Welcome to my Glenwood Mountain home ( Vernon ) located in beautiful Sussex County, in the northwest corner of New Jersey.
Home sits on 1.6 tranquil acres, National Park land behind and adjacent to the Appalachian Trail. Escape and step back into time. Originally built in the 1800's this home boasts country character and old world charm. My love of antiquing and unique collections has fully furnised this home.
Recently renovated & keeping with it's rustic appeal. Wide plank floors and beams in the living room and bedrooms, spacious bathroom with a deep antique claw foot tub, perfect for a nice hot bubble bath. Surrounded by nature, relaxation inside and out. Sussex County is well-known as a four-season recreational community. With our mountains and more than 80 lakes and streams, thousands of visitors are attracted here each year to enjoy the beautiful fall foliage, apple/ pumpkin picking, skiing in 2 major areas, 7 award winning golf courses all within a 5 mile radius, one of the worlds largest water parks, hiking, swimming, boating, fishing, NJ State Fair and Orange Co. (NYS) , festivals, antiquing in the beautiful historic town of Warwick, upscale restaurants with renowned chefs, to casual dining, cafe's and so much more. There is even a Drive-in theater in Warwick NY... all within minutes away.
For those truly looking to relax & unwind. Escape the commotion, hassle and bustle of your daily living. Enjoy natures surroundings listening to the birds, watching the deer and turkey cross, or squirrels on a chase. Travel the Appalachian Trail & bordering trails that open up to beautiful spring fed lakes only minutes from the house. Pack a lunch, grab a pole, throw out a line and enjoying some fishing. Take some quiet time to read a book, relax in the hammock, draw/ paint, perfect photo opportunities await or perhaps a possible song to compose while sitting around the fire pit. According to some of the old timers and as legend has it, locals gathered around sippin moonshine in the old still located on the property. Remains of a rock foundation stand in the back yard of what once housed a cow which provided fresh milk for the family then later to become a still to provide some entertainment and extra income. Many of songs and poems were written about these hills....
This home offers both rustic and modern amenities, is clean, comfortable and in a great central location.
Come visit, get away, relax and enjoy life in the country, beautiful Sussex County with people and nature together.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.

This quaint cabin made a great place for a quiet getaway. The 5 minute ride to the Appalachian Mountain trail made for a fun adventure. Lisa made sure all our needs were met! She is a premier host whether VRBO says it or not.

Perfect Relaxing Getaway

We had a wonderful stay with our dog, Rosie. The cottage was very clean and well equipped with everything we needed. It was close to several State Parks and Forests, not to mention the Appalachian Trail for hiking. Lisa was very communicative, and we really appreciated her telling us about an evening Car Show at a nearby farm that was a dog-friendly event. We had a great time at the Car Show and a very relaxing getaway. Thank you!!

Perfect location for Peace and tranquility

What a wonderful time we had in this quiet country home. Far from the world and 15 minutes from everything we wanted to do. Appalachian Trail, fishing, fine dining, winery, antique stores, and so much more. The home was clean and neat with a rustic cabin feel. The outdoor fire pit is were we spent a lot of time, having coffee in The morning, and a glass of wine in the evening. The host was amazing and always available for us. She made great suggestions for dinning and travel, and was always a phone call away. What a fantastic time, and we will be back again soon. Thank you Lisa!

Great stay at lovely home

We had an outstanding stay at this house. It’s located near many hiking trails and we were able to take full advantage of that. The house was clean, well appointed and comfortable. We enjoyed spending the mornings in the patio area. Although we were only there a few days there are many things to do in the area and the host has a book/folder with dozens of local brochures to help keep you find your preferred activities. Overall, just a great stay.

Perfect little spot for a Spartan race weekend

Host was incredibly great with communication shortly after booking the listing letting me know everything about the property which I really appreciate. It was exactly what I needed for the amount of people I had coming, I had a last minute friend need to stay the one night and after letting them know they told me it would be a $50 fee which was perfect. Again communication was incredible. The place was cute, rustic, very well decorated for a quiet getaway in the mountains. I will be communicating with them in the future.

This is a lovely spot, one that has a wonderful atmosphere, cozy, and in a wooded area among farmland, the Appalachian Trail, and local sites (taverns, outdoor festivals, breweries/wineries). Dog-friendly, too, which is a huge plus. Looking forward to another visit.

The property was wonderful and fit our needs perfectly. Everything was clean and well-maintained, the area was peaceful and whatever we needed to get to wasn't too hard to find. The owner Lisa was a great host. She was quick to answer my questions and helped me to make the most of our stay. Thanks, Lisa! 👍

Peaceful, great location & well stocked

We couldn’t of asked for anything more-a lovely, peaceful setting, any amenities you could think of-including a little kids bath toys, spices, flash lights, bug spray, games, washer & dryer etc. Communication with the owner was easy and she was very informative. House was spotless & the grounds beautiful. You can get away from it all while still having tons to do with a short drive. One note-steps to the bedrooms are steep & open & bathroom is in the first floor. We will definitely return to this property!

Lisa was a fabulous host who checked in just enough. The cabin is cozy and exactly like pictures. We spent a lot of time outside on the patio and exploring the wealth of local trails and outdoor activities. You feel very secluded yet are so close to anything you need like 13 minutes to a full grocery store!

Fall Escape

This property is beautiful with all of the fall foliage surrounding it. It also is in a great location as it's close to breweries, distilleries, and apple orchards. We had an amazing time visiting local farms and picking pumpkins and apples with the kids! Also used the firepit in the back, which was great for making s'mores!

Cozy Cottage in the Woods

Instead of a newly renovated, super-modern rental, I usually look for something that may be updated, with the creature comforts, but with local character. This rental fit the bill completely. The owner has painstakingly brought an older building back to life without over-modernizing it. Old, wide-plank floors let you know the age of the home, while renovations of the kitchen and bathroom are updated for modern use, while still providing country charm. The property is secluded, but not completely isolated, surrounded on three sides by state land. We stayed in the fall and it didn't disappoint. And wildlife will show up eventually. The owner is very pleasant and accommodating. We will stay again if we are able.

Absolutely charming!

I booked this rather last-minute as an (adult) mother/daughter getaway to get a few days breathing room out of the city during a difficult time. Lisa was fantastic about communicating and so much fun to chat with by phone! The property is private and quiet but still well-situated near local attractions like wine tasting, apple picking, and hiking. The house was spotless with a well-appointed kitchen, and the fire pit is great! We would absolutely stay here again in a heartbeat- and Lisa, next time come do Art & Sip at Blue Arrow - on me because I owe you one (you know why!) and also because I bet you are a total hoot to hang with in person. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
