About this property

Wally’s Cottage |Hot Tub|Kayaks|Firepit|Fireplace

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 4-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.



We look forward to providing you with the best experience to make your trip unforgettable, and it is our goal for you to enjoy it so much we will see you every year! Come take a Wallyday!

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.

Cute cottage

This newly renovated cute cottage was just as advertised; cozy, clean, pet friendly and in the middle of nature. It was the perfect place to stay while visiting family in the surrounding area. Our dogs absolutely loved the fenced in yard. Thank you Erin and Matt.

Wally time

Had a great week staying at Wally’s cottage. Cute, updated cabin in the woods. Loved the hot tub and access to Kayaks. House had all the amenities we needed and plus. Host was great and communicated and got back to me right away with any questions and concerns. We were happy to be able to bring our dog on vacation, having a fenced in backyard was a plus! Will be happy to book the cottage again.

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.

Not too comfy

Nowhere comfy to sit and needs at lease one more cushy armchair. Beds are terrible. Only one heater, doesnt heat the bedroom unless you leave the door open. Hot tub is small, no step to get in and out. doesnt

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!

Wally’s Cottage

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!
