Lake View Cottage was pure magic!

A sky twinkling with fireflies, peaceful trails through nature’s best, and the serene lake made every moment unforgettable. Cozy quarters and kind Amish neighbors added warmth to our stay. The owner reapected our privacy and was there for us if needed anything. I would highly recommend!

The one-bedroom cottage was a true gem, offering stunning views of the lake that made every moment feel special. The cozy interior had all the comforts of home, making it easy to settle in and unwind. I particularly appreciated the peaceful atmosphere, perfect for relaxation. Whether enjoying a morning coffee and fresh baked muffins on the porch or taking a hike on the scenic trails, the setting was idyllic. Overall, a wonderful retreat that I would highly recommend for anyone looking to escape and recharge.My husband and I look forward to visiting again.

About the host

Hosted by Timothy Murray

Host profile image
My wife Jennifer and I recently retired as franchisees of a Quick Service restaurant franchise and sold our home to purchase this beautiful property. We also operated an Inn in New Bethlehem for 4 years so we do have experience in the hospitality industry. I think our guests will realize this as we have strived to make this a home away from home. There is plenty to do without leaving the property or you can make a short drive to area attractions. Looking forward to repeat visitors to our property year after year.
