Cozy Lakeview Cottage minutes from water adventures, farms, wineries, & skiing!
Start your morning off with a fresh cup of coffee while watching the sunrise over the lake. Less than an hour from NYC, enjoy your staycation at this newly renovated cottage in a peaceful lake community. Relax on the patio while enjoying the tranquility of nature and creating wonderful memories. Only minutes away from watersports, boating, mini golf, local farms & wineries, and lots of great restaurants & bars. If you are looking to launch your boat for the day, we are across the street from a marina. Less than 5 mins to swimming, 7 min to Hopatcong State Park, 10 mins from Rockaway Mall, and 30 min to Mountain Creek. Upon booking, I will provide you with my guidebook, which has more information on things to do and places to go in the area.
The cottage has a bright, airy feel. There are 2 bedrooms. The master bedroom sleeps 2 with a king bed and a Smart TV. The second bedroom, sleeps 1-2, with a twin trundle bed that turns into a king. If you need of a crib or highchair, please let me know and I will have it setup upon arrival.
The living room has a sofa that folds into a king size bed with a 50" Smart TV and indoor fireplace. We offer Netflix to all our guests, feel free to log into your own accounts for other streaming services. The kitchen is fully stocked with kitchen tools & essentials. As a chef myself, I wanted to make sure one has the necessary tools to make anything they want to. If there is something specific you are looking for please reach out to check!
Looking for a memorable experience? We offer culinary experiences such as a private chef to make that birthday dinner even more special, have a ladies night with wine & chocolate dessert making, or order a customer treats/charcuterie boards. Please reach out to me for more details.

GETTING AROUND: It is best if you have a car to get around town. However, the nearest NJ Transit station is 7 minutes away by car. Trains come directly from NY & Newark Penn Stations. You can use Uber & Lyft to get around if you do not have a car, but best to schedule/order a ride ~15-20 minutes ahead of time as they can take a while since we are in a very mountainous area.

This property was just what we needed. It was so considerate of the host to have coffee, creamers and a few other condiments available.Check in went smoothly and the owner was so easy to communicate with
The house was very clean and well-appointed. Perfect for a weekend getaway! The beds were comfy and the kitchen had everything that we could have needed. Highly recommended!!

Jenna is a great host, lots of little special touches and great communication. Clean and enjoyable.
The cottage is a wonderful little hidden gem- perfect place to spend a quiet weekend up by the lake. The house was meticulously clean, with great aesthetic, and everything labeled for ease of finding. There was helpful information about surrounding activities. We will absolutely stay there again if we end up back in that area!
We just stayed with a two and four year old and our “hotel” was the highlight of the trip! Jen a is very accommodating and very responsive. The house is beautiful and was perfect for our family. We will definitely be staying again on our next trip to the area. Highly recommend!
A warm welcoming space that felt like being in a tree house! A host that has a good eye for decorating and whose little touches adds to the comfort of the space. Quiet view of the lake and local areas to enjoy the water.
Liked location and cottage layout. The birds and outdoor seating were great. The shower was disappointing. The bowls and dishes were inconvenient and out of reach. Even so, We would definitely rent again.
Jenna's cottage by the lake was awesome! It had all the things we needed and more. It was unfortunate that the fireplace was not functional at the time but we felt cozy during the lightning storms nonetheless.
I had a medical emergency at the end of our stay and Jenna was so accommodating with our situation and helpful in extending our stay.
We loved the area and the view from the cottage was beautiful. Very relaxing in all!! A return visit is a definite some day!! Thx Jenna
The house was very clean and adorable. It was a comfortable size for my mom, sister and me. Communication with the owner was stellar! She answered quickly and gave lots of recommendations for the area. We went in September and lucked out with a warm enough day to hang on the lake "beach" and read (with provided towels, chairs & cooler!). There is also some local trails to take a walk/hike. We enjoyed nice restaurants and a good local hole in the wall bar with a pool table.
The ONLY issue we had (because my mom and I are sticklers) is the outside landscaping really needed some work. It was a overgrown with weeds and it wasn't relaxing to hang outside.
Our family had an incredible stay at the Lake Cottage! From the moment we walked in, we felt warmly welcomed by a lovely welcome board and a delightful assortment of snacks. The directions to the cottage were spot-on, making our arrival smooth and easy. Setting up the WiFi was straightforward, and the clear labels on everything were incredibly helpful.
The cottage was fully stocked with all the essentials and more, including Q-tips, first-aid supplies, coffee, tea, creamers, and flavorings. The laundry facilities were fantastic, complete with soap, fabric softener, and dryer sheets. We especially appreciated the abundance of beach towels, shower towels, washcloths, and my personal favorite—soft and effective black makeup washcloths.
We felt completely at home and lacked for nothing. Being so close to the lake with plenty of activities made it just perfect. We highly recommend the Lake Cottage!
A very welcoming cottage! When we walked in, there was a welcome sign with our name in addition to snacks. The refrigerator was stocked with both water and creamers for coffee, and there was coffee and tea, both available, which matters a lot to us! The accommodations were very bright and modern and clean. We loved sitting outside with our coffee in the morning. and we were grateful for the distraction of games for the younger ones. Would definitely stay here again.
My family really enjoyed our stay. Jenna was wonderful to work with and had a lot of wonderful little touches and thoughtful items in the cottage. Would definitely consider staying there again if in the area.
Jenna’s property is cute and full of nice little amenities. The kitchen was big enough for us to have a personal chef cook us a full dinner, and while we didn’t end up using it, the fire pit overlooks the lake and it’s so nice.
The bed was comfortable and Jenna was responsive. We had a wonderful time.

Disliked: Listing accuracy
I went up here for an extended weekend, for the sole purpose of decompressing from work. Since this was the off-season the weather wasn't exactly the greatest, so I mostly stayed in, only venturing out for basic items when needed. With that being said, I quickly began to notice issues.1st, the indoor gas fireplace does not work! Not only does it not work, but apparently it hasn't worked since 2023. In the "welcome book" on the table, it's said that this is due to it being a fire hazard. The clearance of surrounding items seemed to be in compliance, and the remote worked just fine (though the fireplace display didn't turn on), so that leads me to believe that it's either the unit itself or something is wrong with the gas lines. This should not be on the listing if it doesn't work; it's simply a cosmetic feature. 2nd, the framing under the bathtub felt "spongy" and bouncy, almost like I'd fall through at some point. 3rd, the TV in the living room didn't work at all. Even if it did, there's no place to watch it without moving furniture or straining your neck. 4th, the pillows have no support at all. I had to use all 7 pillows just to get slightly comfortable. Plus the bedroom TV is another neck-strainer. Due to the character limit, I can't keep going, but there were many more issues. Would not stay here again.
This was my first VRBO. I wanted a nice, quiet place to relax. It is a very clean place. It is also very quiet. The property is as pictured. Well, almost. There is actually more - an enclosed porch in the back; a large area where you can have cookouts. The beds are comfortable. Everything in the kitchen is well organized and labelled. I was a little worried about my husband -- he is a hotel guy and pretty particular. But after a few hours, he said "this is relaxing". Trust me, that is a rave. There are books to read -- all seem to have lake in the title - LOL. There are games for all ages. It rained one night and we played Trivial Pursuit. You can see the lake from the kitchen table, as well as the front yard. It really is a nice place to stay. You will not be disappointed.
