Welcome to "The Gnome's Den," where fairy tale charm meets countryside comfort! Dive into vibrant hues and let the cabin's playful vibe spark your inner child. Explore hiking trails, try fly fishing at the Delaware River, and return to rest on plush pillows. Wake up to morning birdsong, embracing the perfect blend of adventure and cozy relaxation. Your enchanting retreat awaits!
This Cabin sits on a little over 4 acres of land. While not entirely remote or secluded, it is mighty quiet. It has just enough open space for you and your friends to throw a frisbee or fly a kite or two with your kids on a windy day, and it has just enough wooded space to get you in the mood for a longer hike on the many trails nearby. We also have a small outdoor Sauna in the backyard, by the fire pit, for anyone to enjoy them. It can accommodate up to 4 people. We also welcome pets but only limit to 1 pet. If you do decide to bring a pet companion, please keep in mind that we charge a pet fee of $100/reservation.
Don't forget to check out our guidebook for recommendations of places to explore as well.
While there is no laundry available for short term stays, it is available to longer stays. We welcome anyone looking for weekly or monthly stays and offer discounts.

While I am not near enough to the Cabin to interrupt your stay, I am definitely reachable by phone. If you should need anything at the cabin or need suggestions on what to do around town or where to go, please let me know and I will help as much as I can.
This is a wooded area filled by tall trees, streams, and plenty of wild animals. You will likely run into hikers on the way to the cabin. Not to mention the wildlife. There is a beaver that we named Beverly who lives around our Cabin so you might see her from time to time.
This is a town where you definitely need a car to get around. There is no public transportation. But, parking is provided at the Cabin and most places that you visit around town will have free parking available as well.
- This cabin runs on sceptic so please don't flush anything other than toilet paper down the toilet.
- This Cabin is heated by a radiator and the temperature is controlled by a smart thermostat. Our cabin is not always occupied so we keep the temperature at about 56 degrees fahrenheit between visitors. Please reach out to us on your way to the cabin so we can turn up the heat and make you feel more welcome.
- There are only 4 houses on the street where this Cabin is located. And the Cabin is the last one at the end of the street. It sits far enough from the road and the neighbors that being disturbed by anyone is very rare.
- We'd love for this cabin to be deep in the woods and provide full privacy from the world. However, because we have neighbors nearby and we're not entirely separated by trees, you might see people walking around their properties or drive cars in and out of their driveways throughout the day. Don't be alarmed though, they keep to themselves so you can enjoy your visit in peace.

* Please inform me of any spills or things breaking as soon as these things occur.

I hope this doesn't SCARE you but we need to inform you of these particular rules.
