"The Hammock" by the lake

Reconnect with your sweetheart at this charming cottage for two. Drink your morning brew on the deck as you watch nature wake up. If you are feeling adventurous, kayak on the 25-acre lake or hike the local Appalachian Trail. End your day relaxing on the dock next to a fire and watch the sunset on the lake.

Our home combines charm with convenience. Cook your meals in a delightful kitchen and dine with a lake view. Relax by the fireplace or take a peaceful walk. Then grab your favorite book and chill in the hammock.

Pa is a lovely state! There is numerous hiking and biking trails nearby. The Pinnacle Lookout is our family's favorite hiking spot . Hawk mountain is a great spot for bird watching . Visit the many wineries and unique local markets in the surrounding area. Explore Crystal Cave , there's also Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom 30 min away.

Charming small cottage on a lovely lake
This is a really lovely very small property in a very pretty setting. It was great for the two of us for two nights. Plus, ducks.

Perfect getaway!
This place was the perfect place to get away for a few days. The tiny house is adorable and perfect for a couple. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. The location is far enough away to feel like youve "gotten away" but close enough to the city and other things that you can make an ice cream run if needed or check out Pulpit Point and the AT! Our only complaint was that the fish in the lake had no interest in biting while we were there.

Cozy Lakeside Cottage
We loved our stay at The Hammock. (There really is a hammock in the yard, and it's so comfortable!) The lakeside view can't be beat, and the surrounding countryside is really beautiful. Hope to visit again!

Moments after I arrived, I knew I wanted to stay longer! This tiny slice of paradise is beautifully decorated and very well equipped. I highly recommend it and will be looking for when I can return.

Beautiful rest
So my husband and I want to live there, we were trying to figure out how 🙂It was such a retreat, even the area was a good find! We are residents of PA and had never been to that area, now we want to move there. It was an intimate setting in the great outdoors among wildlife. We loved watching the ducks, they were so entertaining. There is definitely one duck that's the outcast, we named him Freddy. When he got too close to the other ones territory the three of them sped after him and chased him away. There were fish jumping out of the lake and a creature that was swimming around, I thought it was an otter or muskrat, my husband thought it was a turtle so very different things. Our stay was just what we needed! We would definitely stay there again or buy the place if it was available 😁

2nd time here - so peaceful and calm
My husband and I stayed here about 5 weeks ago and just fell in love with the cottage, the lake and the location. Our 27th anniversary was coming up so I booked it again for 3 nights (we live about 3 1/2 hrs. away). The relaxation here is just beyond compare. We explored out a little more this time and went to a beautiful winery (Blue Mt. Winery) where they have live music every Sunday 2 - 5, it was so much fun. Loved watching the ducks, hawks, fish jumping out of the water while having a morning cup of coffee. Just perfect. Thank you.

Absolutely fantastic and as shown!
We will be staying here again. House, lake, back porch, cleanliness, decor, fishing/kayaking all absolutely as shown and amazing. Hubby must've caught 100 fish in 3.5 days! So relaxing and quiet and the best rental we have ever stayed in by FAR! Owner was wonderful and helpful and responsive right away. Very lind and friendly. We will be back in fall and hope to make this lil house our spring/fall spot for vacas indefinitely!

Excellent place, we LOVED it! Peaceful and just what we were looking for.
My husband and I were looking for a peaceful place to just relax and enjoy each other's company and nature. This was exactly what we were looking for. Every little detail was just perfect. I lighted walkway at night looked magical, the gas fireplace was so cozy, the outdoor firepit was perfect at night to make some s'mores, the kitchen was very well stocked, the bed was very comfortable, the kayaks were very much enjoyed by my husband, I could go on and on. We truly hope to get back here sometime because honestly we didn't want to leave. Thank you for sharing your very beautiful cottage.
