Wally’s Cottage |Kayaks|Hot Tub|Fire Pit|Central!
Welcome to Wally`s Cottage. This place is a couple`s retreat or a small family of 4 paradise. This fully fenced in property is a perfect home base which many consider the best location around the lake. The cottage is right down the street from downtown Hawley, a short drive to Honesdale, restaurants, groceries, and breweries. Come enjoy hanging out on the patio with a nice fire, or take a drive to do a local activity. Enjoy the 4-Person Hot Tub, Game Shed, or take the Kayaks for an exploration.
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`.

Had a great time at Wally’s Cottage! Perfect size for a family of four plus our two small pups. Hot tub and backyard were great for relaxing. Close proximity to town and activities.

Thank you so much for staying with us and leaving a steller review
Cabin was exactly what we needed for a weekend anniversary trip away! Cute place near the lake, close to restaurants and great views. Host provided everything we could need for a short trip. Everything was clean and easy to find. Host was communicative. No complaints!
The house was very nice and clean. The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. All around it was perfect for a little weekend get away. I would definitely return in the summertime
We had such a nice weekend away, and the cabin was a perfect, cozy place. The owners were super accommodating and communication was awesome. We will definitely plan a trip back!

Definitely would host you anytime! Thank you for the kind words and the great recommendation! Appreciated
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!
Our stay was great! We made a last minute decision to go away for the holiday weekend and this place was great! It's hard to find a place that is pet friendly and also has a fenced yard. Plenty of space for us and overall a great time! We would definitely stay again!
