MonicaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Had such a beautiful time at the lake cottage! Was perfect inside and out. All of our experiences together were amazing and I loved the way the lake was right in our view from the house. Jenna really ensured that all of the amenities that someone would need were there for use. Definitely worth the trip and would recommend to anyone that wants a private little getaway! Fireplace was a great feature as well. Amazing and affordable! Super clean and comfy.

Adorable quiet & cozy lakefront studio on dead end

ElizabethRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

My husband and I stayed here for a wedding and it was a great spot! Perfect for a two-night stay. The place was so cozy and clean and the host, Luz, was so kind. She checked in on us throughout our stay just to see how we were doing - very thoughtful. We will have to come back in the summer when it’s a wee bit warmer. All in all, a wonderful and easy breezy stay.

Hillside Lakehouse Cottage + Kayaks and Pedalboat

JustinRating, 5 stars3 months ago

Excellent stay at this property over the New Year's holiday. The house is in a great location on a quiet street and has a beautiful view of the lake. The space was great for our family with two children - plenty of sleeping space / arrangement options and comfortable to relax inside or out. Can easily accommodate a larger family or group without feeling overcrowded, despite the single bathroom. Santino is a great host with quick communication and everything went smoothly. We will definitely be back to this property in our future stays to NJ!

I stayed at Mays’ place with my husband and our dog for my hubby’s birthday and had the most relaxing week away. The house is adorable, and the property is unbelievable. We felt like we were in a little Disney movie with the babbling brook and all the flowers blooming in the woods. We loved our stay so much! Would absolutely recommend for anyone hiking pieces of the nearby Appalachian trail - or anyone looking for a little peace & quiet in a beautiful setting.

One of the few places I have stayed at Lake Hopatcong where I did not have to walk down a thousand steps. Perfect location, clean, and well equipped for preparing meals. Neighborhood is walkable and restaurants within walking distance. Hosts are very flexible and responsive. We wanted to book for Fourth of July Weekend but already booked. Highly recommend worth the price and super cozy.

We had an excellent time over the weekend! This spot is great for a decent-sized group of people. A lot of space and a lot of places to congregate and enjoy the property. SUPER quick drive to Bushkill Falls if you are interested on hiking (if not you 100% should) The ONLY downside is we had some difficulty getting food delivered to this locatipn (which is totally understandable given the location) so just consider that as you pack! We brought lots of snacks and there is a spacious fridge, oven/stove, grill, and fire pits outside, so you can definitely make do! Would 10000% stay again!

Gerry & Arlene were great hosts! They helped us find a location that fit our needs (walkable to the ski slopes). (We thought we originally booked a place right at Mountain Creek, but it ended up being across the street - so definitely a bit of a walk, but still not too bad.) We were celebrating our son's 13th birthday and the condo was perfect. The location allowed us to snowboard all day, come back to have pizza and birthday cake, then go right back on the slopes until closing. (We also left two pairs of our snowboard boots there...and they were extremely helpful in getting these back to us!)
