About this property

Wally’s Cottage|New|HotTub|Fireplace|Close to Town

Welcome to Wally's Cottage. This place is a couples 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 2-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".

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 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 2-person Hot Tub for you to enjoy relaxing

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.

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.

If you are looking for baby gear suh as pack-n-plays, high chairs, ect. We have a partnership with a local supplier that can deliver and even set them up at the property for you to use during your stay. Just let us know.

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!

There is no lake access with the property. If you want to swim in the lake you must use the public beach 5 minutes away (MDW - LDW). For launching boats/Kayaks you can use the public Launch (1.5 miles away).

The neighborhood is walking friendly. Feel free to walk around 6th street and Paupack Point Road with your four-Legged friends. There is no Street Parking we have a rock driveway. The driveway can accommodate a maximum of 2 vehicles.

As an avid renter myself I know the importance of privacy, yet knowing the owner is available at a moments notice if any issues were to arise. Because of this, transparency is key for our guests to have the absolute best experience possible. Our goal is to have a 5 start stay with each booking. With each booking there will be contactless access to the property with a digital keycode. A digital guidebook will be provided prior to the stay as well as a paper copy of the same guidebook on the coffee table. Everything will be explained in this guidebook for an easy yet rewarding experience for the guests. Should anything else arise I will be available through messaging and will be able to provide responses promptly. We take great pride in making the stay as easy as possible, and have done our best to make the property as user friendly and accommodating as possible during the recent renovations

Walt's Landing and the surrounding communities are some of the original lakeside developments around the Lake. The Lake House resides a short drive up a dead end private street with plenty of privacy, yet is easy to get in and out. The lake itself has 52 miles of shoreline that allows fishing, boating (No HP restriction), and swimming. Rubber Duckie Boat rentals is a 7 minute drive, and Palmayra Public Beach is only 5 minutes away. Mangan Cove which is a very nice public boat launch is only a 3 minute drive.

The Lake House is about a 2 hour drive from NYC, and a 2 and a half hour drive from Philly. Standard phone mapping apps are all effective to route your path to the Lake House. Don't hesitate to contact us for more specific directions, if needed. While in Hawley, a car is necessary to get around. There are Ubers and Lyfts available, but they are unreliable. There are a few attractions and restaurants that are walking distance from the property, but to experience most of what Hawley has to offer, you will need a vehicle.

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!

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.
