Quite, cozy stay

We had a wonderful time at the quiet lake house retreat. Kevin and Tami were awesome host. They messaged detailed instructions on how to get to the place and it was pitch black out but easy to find. We had no real plans only to relax but found brochures that were left for us and went to a great shooting range not to far and extended our stay to hit a awesome hiking trail that we found on another brochure. Definitely recommend. We will be back this summer since the lake behind the house was frozen but looks like a lot of fun. Thanks again to Kevin and Tami

Stop Reading and Book it!

Three quick things: 1. The listing is about 15 minutes outside of Montrose, 2. The hosts live in a house connected to the cottage but are super nice and will respect your privacy, and 3. The light switch for the living room is behind the TV. Now go book this place! It is amazing, super clean, and roomy but cozy at the same time. If there is something you need, it’s there, you just haven’t seen it yet. Really. I’ve never left a hotel and felt sad that I was leaving but I was sad to leave here. I really hope to go back someday.

Peaceful and beautiful

We were looking for a place to rest that was beautiful and quiet and this definitely fit what we were looking for. Even with rainy weather we loved the views, the cozy fireplace, and fit in a beautiful hike at the Salt Springs just down the road.

Nice overnight on the lake

Enjoyed my brief stay on the lake. The house has everything you need inside and out. I really enjoyed fishing from a kayak in the private lake early in the morning before I checked out. The owners, Kevin & Tami plus the neighbors couldn't have been nicer. It certainly felt secluded, but you are only 20 minutes from downtown Montrose. Would definitely stay here again.

Charming House for Relaxing

The house had everything we needed and was very cozy with a lovely view of the lake. Unfortunately, our stay was short and the weather turned rainy, but everything you need to play on the water was available. I loved the decor in the home, and it brought back memories of trinkets my family owned. The owner was very nice and quick to respond when we had questions.

The owners were very personable, the house had a very comfortable rustic nature about it, and it felt like being at home since they provided bottled water, coffee, and every form of convenience one needs when traveling including shower soap & shampoo though we brought our own. From the kitchen, living room, & 4-seasons room there is a view of the beautiful lake, & outdoor seating if one chooses to use them.

This property is simply perfect. Quiet and beautiful. Sit by the fire pit and enjoy an adult beverage or your morning cup of jo. You can hop in one of the many boats and just glide around the lake, or sit on the dock and fish. Drive 7 minutes to hundreds of acres of hiking trails at Salt Springs State Park. Drive 20 minutes to Binghamton, NY where you will find plenty of food and entertainment. 15 minutes and you are in quaint little Montrose, PA.
