About this property
Cozy secluded waterfront retreat
Bushkill House Rental Photos and Description
A secluded cottage on a beautiful, serene acre (plus) waterfront lot
The property is 1 1/4 acres in a secluded quiet area with no visible neighbors. It is a place to connect with nature and enjoy true peace and serenity. You can fall asleep at night listening to the sound of the running water and wake up to the sounds of nature. Read a book on the deck or take afternoon naps in the hammock. Fish from the back yard. The creek has native trout and is stocked. Watch the fish jump out of the water from the back deck. See the deer crossing the creek and a blue heron searching for fish on the rocks. The deck has a picnic table and a grill for outdoor eating. There is a patio with adirondeck chairs and a fire pit to sit around at night and watch the stars. There is a kayak for you to use in the creek to relax or fish and river tubes to float. You can use the beach chair if you want to just sit and cool off with the water running over you.
This house is bright and cheerful with lots of light. Art fills the walls giving it soul and colorfulness. It is a magical place filled with inspiring pieces from my travels.
OUTSIDE THE PROPERTY...
There is a path across the creek to walk along and a small lake on the top of the hill.
THIS HOUSE FEATURES...
One guest bedroom, 1 large bathroom, eat in kitchen, living room with a wood burning fireplace and high cathedral ceilings, a sun room with comfortable furniture and a laundry area. The whole back of the house has windows that look out onto the creek. There is Wifi, television, DVD and a stereo CD player. There is a portable floor air conditioner in the kitchen and living room area and ceiling and floor fans in each room. Most of the time it is cool enough that it is not needed. I love to keep the windows open to hear the sounds of nature and the running water. The guest bedroom has a full size mattress, desk and dresser. The sun room has comfortable modular furniture that you can sink into. It can be rearranged to comfortably sleep 2 persons... This room overlooks the creek with 2 large windows and a sky light. There is a folding standing divider if you want privacy.
Dogs are welcome, however, they are not allowed on the furniture. Luna, the neighborhood dog most likely will visit you during your stay. She is super- friendly and most of my guests and their dogs love her and her visits. (see reviews)

What a beautiful place! I loved listening to the sound of the creek and watching the hummingbirds. It was such a pleasure to not see any houses and enjoy such a lovely setting for a holiday weekend. Very short drive to Bushkill Falls. Hope to be back again someday!
We had a wonderful and peaceful stay at this beautiful property. The house is surrounded by a stunning forest, and having the river right nearby made the experience even more special. The veranda was incredibly cozy and offered a beautiful view of the river and nature — the perfect place to relax, enjoy the fresh air, and recharge mentally.The kitchen was spacious and well-equipped, with plenty of dishes for everything we needed. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable. We truly appreciated the peaceful atmosphere and the beautiful natural surroundings, which made this stay a wonderful escape from everyday life.Thank you to the host for creating such a warm and relaxing place. We would love to come back!
Tranquil space to relax and unwind. Wonderful views and so calming to listen to the water. Amazing neighborhood dog, Luna, loves to come visit and give kisses. Easy access to multiple hikes but nice enough that you don’t ever have to leave.
Always feels like home away from home coming back to magnolia house. Barbara, the host is always pleasant to communicate with. can’t wait for our next visit.
It was every bit as wonderful as the first time we stayed there. The house and location are beautiful with a creek running right past the house. If you love nature and are looking for a tranquil, calm place to rest awhile, look no further. Its a little slice of heaven! We hope to be back next year!
Such an amazing little place! Loved it here and how down to earth it felt. I've stayed in so many soulless, money grab, cabins and this is NOT that. This is someone's home, love and care has been put into every inch of it. I would highly recommend a stay here.
Absolutely a most wonderful host.So grateful Barbara allows others the joy of spending time at her magical and spiritual property. Perfect in every way and can't wait to return in the warmer weather
Beautiful cottage - wonderfully decorated & appointed. Barbara was kind & responsive when i had a few queations. I am very hopeful to be back again soon.
This was my second stay at Yellow Magnolia and I'm so glad I went again. Although the weather was a bit too chilly to really enjoy the deck, the fireplace came in handy.I was there primarily to hike in the area, and it's really convenient to lots of good hikes. I also just love how isolated the home feels, even though it's on the edge of a neighborhood.I cooked every night I was there; the kitchen is well stocked with what I needed. Both the main room and the sunroom are SO comfy. And the morning light!!!Good chance this will become a regular trip for me.....
This space is just MAGIC. Pure magic. If you are looking to get away from the noise and reconnect with nature, this is the spot! Peaceful escape but, still close enough to explore and get necessities. We hope to be back again for warmer seasons!
Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025
About the host
Hosted by Barbara Wille
I am a teacher who enjoys hiking, swimming, cycling and traveling. I love art and music. I spend my summers between my home in the Poconos and my home near the Jersey shore. In the winter, I go to Hawaii for several months to visit friends and enjoy traveling to Europe in the fall.
Why they chose this property
I fell in love with this property because it was right on the water. I can go swimming, kayaking or tubing from my backyard or just put my beach chair in the creek and sit and read a good book. There are many waterfalls as you walk along the creek and a lake on top of the hill where I go at night to sit and reflect on my day. I love watching all the wild animals. I see deer crossing the creek, wild turkeys, ducks. herons and a bald eagle nesting in a nearby tree.. The lighting in the mornings is especially beautiful shining through all the windows.
What makes this property unique
This property is very secluded with no visible neighbors. I like the privacy and especially the view from my kitchen window. It is truly a magical place.
