Lazy River Cottage on the Delaware River

Newly renovated cottage right on the Delaware River with direct river access and prime fishing and bird watching spots. River view from every room.

"Nestles high on the bank of Delaware River stood a wooden shack. Despite its humble composition, the shack commands a panoramic view of the rushing water below.

One day a couple bought it. They set out to restore the cabin to a state fitting for its idyllic location and placement. They named the shack “Lazy River Cottage”. Someday, they want to live there, simply and joyfully. They picture spending their days fishing, reading, drinking sweet sun tea, lounging on the wraparound deck and looking at the glimmering river through the rustling leaves.

At dusk, they would enjoy a cozy meal in the candle light. After dark, they huddle around the fire table, gazing up a starry sky searching for the International Space Station.

When it rains, they would put a record on the turntable, light the fireplace, sit on the sofa by the windows and hear the water dripping through the branches of chestnut trees above…

So, before Lazy River is turned into a full time residence, you are invited to come and stay. Come and share the sublime and ever-changing scenery that nature has provided. Come and taste the living in a cottage that was created with warmth, care, and affection.” - Slow Paddler Diary, December, 2019.

Perfect romantic getaway

Loved this beautiful riverside cottage… remote yet close to Milford and great restaurants. We danced to our vinyls, made perfect steaks on the grill, and listened to the rain while playing cards. We had cocktails on the riverside chairs and watched people float down the Delaware, and did some birdwatching from the deck. The bed was comfortable, place was clean and stylish. I would love to visit again!

Simply Gorgeous!

The cabin and the view are amazing. David goes above and beyond as a host in the thoughtfulness of amenities, such as night lights, tissues, etc. Sitting by the fire by the river is so therapeutic! Beautiful hiking trails nearby as well. Overall, an excellent experience and we hope to come back some day.

Weekend Getaway

The cottage was perfect! Everything about the cottage was just as it was described. The cottage was neat as a pin upon arrival, we got in at night and David had the light on and music playing for us. Would definitely recommend the Cottage to others as the perfect weekend retreat.

Gorgeous gateway !!

Everything on the property was as described and even better. I had an amazing time. Everything was better than expected. The best part was the outside gas fireplace, it was outstanding experience for me and my wife. A tiny comment about my stay is the sofa , it was too small for any of us to sit on comfortably and enjoy the gorgeous views of the river. Thank you so much for your warm hospitality and for letting stay at your place Mo & Lillian

No where better

Came all the way from Texas to beat the heat. We can’t imagine having stayed anywhere better in all Poconos! The setting is serene, quiet, and vast. You feel quite secluded yet very safe (no bears in July!). Although we are used to sleeping in a king bed, we couldn’t wait to sleep in the super snuggly queen bed with amazing pillows! Don’t miss the outdoor shower either - just do it! Don’t miss the Falls. Don’t miss cuisine the Hotel Fauchere Delmonico Rm or the food at Village Diner in Milford. Perfection. Many many thanks.

Don't like being watched

Place was nice, good location inside clean. Unfortunately there were not one but 4 cameras in main living area. Only reason that I could think to have that many was to get multiple angles of you. Very disturbing really put a big damper on our stay. When I looked at pics of place thought they might b speakers never thought it would be video. So if you are a person that this would not bother I recommend this stay, very nice setting.
