About this property

Intimate Lake Cottage In Northeast Pennsylvania

This fully modern cabin sits on a small hill along the shore of Lily Lake in Conyngham Township. Located in the northeastern part of the state's Pocono and Endless mountains, the spring-fed lake boasts superb bass fishing and is surrounded by 100s of acres of public land for hiking, walking, hunting, cross country skiing, or simple viewing and relaxation.

Ideal for couples or small families, the property sleeps 1 to 4 and is easily accessible from I-80 and I-81. It is two hours north by car from Philadelphia and Harrisburg and two hours west of New York City.

The cottage is fully furnished with a queen-sized bed in the bedroom and single beds in the loft. It has a large flat-screen television with DVD player, access to Wi-Fi, and on-site washer and dryer. It has a modern kitchen equipped with gas stove, refrigerator, coffee maker, dishes, silverware, cooking utensils, and other kitchen tools. Central air conditioning and heating ensure a comfortable interior in all seasons.

Accessible from the township road by a paved private drive, the cottage has a screened-in front porch and open rear flagstone patio complete with Pennsylvania-made cedar furniture.

The grounds and lakefront are landscaped with native and exotic plants. The lakefront has a table and chairs, a fire ring, dock, paddle boat, and kayak available for guests' use. Motorboats and water skiing are also permitted on the lake, subject to certain horsepower and use limits.

Numerous Pocono ski resorts, minor-league hockey and baseball franchises, Mohegan Sun and Mount Airy casinos, local theater, movies, national and regional historic sites, shopping malls, restaurants, white-water rafting, state and local parks, and several amusement parks are within 30- to 60-minute drives.

With advance notice, guests also have the option during their stay of ordering one or more three-course meals, featuring local and seasonal ingredients, prepared and served on the property or delivered. A number of options are available. Arrangements can also be made for stocking the pantry with your grocery list. Please inquire for details.

This was such an amazing property and it turned out to be such a nice getaway for our family. Sal was so accommodating, and his recommendations for activities in the area were spot on.

Beautiful peaceful piece of paradise!

We enjoyed our wonderful lake side stay. The owners who live on the property were very helpful and accommodating. We appreciated the restaurant suggestions. We really enjoyed dinner at Le Manhattan Bistro in Wilkes-Barre. Looking forward to coming back in the summer.

Quiet and peaceful

We stayed from Monday through Saturday and had a fantastic and relaxing time, which was what we were looking for - house is small but very cozy with a beautiful view of the lake. Very nice place, very nice owners. We really felt at home. I’d love to come back fall or winter.

Lily Lake

The guest house at Lily Lake is beautiful. It is even better than the pictures show. It was wonderful to communicate with Sal and he was very quick with his responses. The house is directly on the lake with beautiful views of the lake. I highly recommend the Lily Lake guest house and my wife and I are looking forward to going again in the future.

This property and it’s managers never let us down. It’s a great place to escape the rigors of everyday life and just relax. We love taking our dog up in the fall to see the leaves and enjoy the lakeside campfires. This property is a gem for those wishing to get off grid and escape contact, without leaving behind everyday luxuries.

Great getaway in a peaceful location

Just got back from a great couple of days at this amazing property. It has everything you need. Very clean and well put together. Kids had a blast using the included paddle boat, paddle board and kayak. Fire pits and stars at night. Within driving distance to Rickets Glen and Boulder Field which we enjoyed immensely. On-site property owners are very nice down to earth people. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

Just perfect!

My family and I had a delightful stay at the Lily Lake Guest House this Thanksgiving. The location was perfect and the owners really put thought into creating an ambience that was comfortable, but filled with casual elegance. They also provided supplies to make it a turnkey/relaxing experience (such as recreational equipment, cooking tools and much more). Sal was very accommodating and great to work with when making reservations- we hope to make this an annual trip. We highly recommend the Lily Lake Guest House to all!!!

Perfect Fall Weekend

We stayed for 3 relaxing days with our dog at the cottage. The moment we entered the property and saw the view, our stress melted away. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and took advantage of the paddle boat. We also loved sitting by the fire or on the dock. The cottage is beautiful and well maintained, the details both in and out are superb. If you are looking for a relaxing vacation in a beautiful setting, book this cottage. We loved everything about it and hope to return.

A little slice of paradise

This property was amazing and the location was perfect. It felt like the cabin had been restored by one of those HGTV shows. Attention to details to keep the authentic feel but ensuring modern conveniences were spot on. It felt incredibly comfortable and relaxing from the moment I pulled into the driveway. The owners really helped this feel like home and that they cared about your visit. Can't wait to go back again.

Property was beautiful. Cozy and clean and beautiful.

Loved the smell of wood and trees when we sat in the screened in porch. We kayaked and made lots of delicious meals in the well equipped kitchen. We slept so well in the comfy beds. Loved the little notes around the property to show us where things were and how they worked. This was exactly what we needed: a break from life in the city. Thank you so much.

Charm-filled serenity

We spent two lovely days in the cottage enjoying zero appointments, deadlines, commitments and crises. It was fantastic. The cottage is beautifully decorated and well-appointed to make your stay a breeze. We happened to be celebrating our 30th anniversary and enjoyed a special meal prepared and served just for us. It was a delicious and relaxing way to enjoy our evening. Thank you Sal and family for being such wonderful hosts.

Great getaway!

We wanted a quick weekend getaway and this place was perfect. Very nice house, well maintained and clean. The house is steps away from the very picturesque Lily lake, we fished from the dock and did some hiking around too. It's close enough to some fun things to do in the area as well. Overall I would absolutely recommend this to anyone. The owners were great and we couldn't have asked for anything more. Thanks again! We'll surely be back.

Serenity, beauty & comfort galore

I was looking for someplace comfortable, cleanly, homey & beautiful to enjoy a few days away from the city with my pup to start the new year and The Guest House at Lily Lake was all those things and more. The cottage is perfectly situated to enjoy the views and walks around the lake. And has everything you need to feel like you are at home away from home. The property managers were super responsive and welcoming without being at all intrusive and it was great having them nearby. I will definitely return and already look forward to it. Thanks so much to Sal & the family for exceeding my expectations and a really wonderful vacation!

Wonderful weekend getaway!

My husband and I enjoyed two nights over Labor Day weekend. The cottage is adorable and spotlessly clean. We were impressed by how well equipped it was and nice touches, like fresh flowers from the garden in almost every room. We used the double kayak, paddle boat and row boat. My husband enjoyed fishing (but not catching). We would definitely recommend to friends! Thank you!

Everything we hoped for.

My wife and I have been going to Maine on vacation but with the pandemic we were looking for somewhere in PA closer to home that would be quiet, private, well maintained, and pet friendly. This beautiful cottage on Lake Lily checked all the boxes and then some. The lake view was a bonus as we took advantage of the row boat and the scenic hiking trails, The house was very comfortable, updated, and clean. The owners and manager were friendly and accommodating. We will definitely keep it in mind for the future. Bernie R.

Great getaway

We spent a wonderful week at this cottage. The beauty is you can do as much or as little as you want. The patio, lakeside fire pit and deck were great places to be outdoors and read, enjoy a beverage and relax. The place is well equipped and thoroughly comfortable. We were fortunate to meet Sal and the owners who were so accommodating. Bob alerted us to be on the lookout for a bald eagle...we were blessed to see 3 that enjoyed an aerie just across the lake from us. Fishing was great....catching not so much but the serenity and exercise were great. Our son and grandson joined us for the last 2 days and thoroughly enjoyed the paddleboard and kayak. We couldn't have had a more restful and yet busy experience.

Perfection at Lily Lake

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful cottage on Lily Lake. First of all, the house has everything you might need. Well appointed. Lovely furnishings. We spent a good deal of time on the screened-in porch looking at the spectacular view and watching the thunder storms. We taught our grandkids how to fish, they caught many, and had a great time around the fire pit at night. On occasion the WiFi would drop which bothered the grandkids. Wasn't a problem for us. We brought our Roku stick to watch movies. It worked well. This place was perfect for us. Already booked for next August.

A Perfect Getaway

My husband and I spent a week at this perfect lake house. If I were to have a second home for the two of us, this would be it. The grounds were beautifully landscaped and the interior of the cottage was wonderful down to the last detail - modern, with high quality finishes, but with a craftsman-era feel. We also loved the two outdoor areas, a screened porch overlooking the lake and dock, and a stone patio with grill off the kitchen. Bob, the owner, who lives in another house on the property, couldn’t have been nicer or more responsive when we had two small issues. In addition to being on a beautiful lake, the cottage is near some wonderful recreation areas, including Ricketts Glen State Park, with a spectacular trail that takes you closely past 22 waterfalls. If you like vacations with nightlife and fancy restaurants then this is probably not the place for you. If you want to relax in a lovely little cottage in a gorgeous setting, you will love this place.

About the host

Hosted by Sal Deluca

Host profile image
Our family has spent summers at Lily Lake since the mid-1950s. Each generation has used it in its own way, but the place's natural beauty, fun, and relaxation have remained mostly unchanged through the years. For the last decade, we've decided to make it our full-time home and now would like others to have the opportunity to enjoy a little bit of what we've built our lives around.

Why they chose this property

The Lily Lake Guest House is on a parcel adjacent to our primary residence. As our family has grown, we use for get-togethers and holidays. It's far enough to offer our family and family a bit of seclusion, but close enough that we can easily spend time together.

What makes this property unique

We've tried to create a place with many modern conveniences yet one that maintains the popular rustic cottage style of the 1920s. Guests can enjoy heated bathroom floors and Internet access but also bear witness to the passage of time with the simple stone-and-mortar foundation created of rock found on the property, the original yellow pine clapboard siding and Douglas Fir flooring, the open-air patio and screened porch, and the structure's simple yet functional layout.
