Sunset Cottage - Lakefront Cottage with Private Dock

Sunset Cottage is cozy, warm, and full of charm — the perfect place to soak in crisp autumn air and golden lake views. Whether you’re sipping coffee by the electric fireplace or gathering around the outdoor fire pit under the stars, this 1940s quaint lakefront gem offers a peaceful fall retreat for couples, families, or friends.

Direct access to Lake Wallenpaupack is right in your front yard, with sweeping views from the spacious dining table inside. In autumn, the sunsets here are nothing short of breathtaking, often framed by fiery foliage reflecting off the water.

You’ll have private lake access with your own dock, perfect for fall fishing, paddling, or simply sitting with a blanket and taking in the scenery. A brand-new dock (2024) is shown in the photos.

Included with your stay:
• Paddle boat
• 2 paddle boards
• 2 kayaks
• Swimming (if you’re brave enough for the cool water!)

Please note: Jet ski slips are not available for renters. Power boats are welcome — bring your own and tie off to the dock.

Lake Access:
Lake access may be challenging for guests with mobility concerns. The upper yard is flat and easy to navigate, but the path to the dock involves an incline with wooden/stone steps and boulders (depending on water levels). In high water, the walkway to the dock may be submerged — please use caution.

Lake Water Levels:
• Spring – High levels
• Summer – High water mark is June 1 (walkway may be underwater)
• Fall – Lowest water levels with much of the rocky shoreline visible, still allowing boat docking and offering a unique, peaceful shoreline experience.

Amenities:
• Linens & towels included
• Starter supply of toiletries, toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags
• Parking for 3 vehicles
• Ring cameras outside for security

House Rules:
• No parties
• Dock available Memorial Day weekend through September
• Boat rental available (inquire for details)

Wonderful Cottage on the Lake

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home. Beautiful view and the owner of the property well stocks the home not only with the necessities but also with paddleboards, a paddle boat, and dock which was great for fishing. Clean property inside and out.

Stay at the Lake

Hose was very clean and neat. Had everything we needed and the host got back with answers to my questions very quickly. The bathroom was a little small but not a real issue.

Cute little cottage

Classic cottage feel. Communication with owners was easy and efficient. Property had all the basics plus extras like lake access and toys to play with such as paddle board and kayaks. If you’re looking for a traditional cottage at the lake, this is your place

Lake vacation

My family and I had a great time on our vacation. It was our first time renting a cabin and the location to the lake was great. The view from the dining room window was amazing and one of my favorite things. We were also able to use a paddle boat for the first time which came with the rental. I can’t wait to go to the lake again next year highly recommended.

Cute little house

We really enjoyed our stay! The house is exactly as described, despite the small size, it has everything you need for a great enjoyable trip. The host is very responsive! The dock was great as we brought our own wave runners! The kids also enjoyed the kayaks. We would recommend this house. I just would bring an air pump as that is the only thing the house does not have.

Injuries

The first night we got there.I went to the lake lost my footing on the rocks and ended up in the lake dislocating.Tootoes injuring my knee and getting cut up on the rocks. And the next or Sunday night I got into bed and was promptly bitten by.I'm not sure what. I got cellulitis in the pand and now on high powered antibiotics. All of this made me very grateful for the view from the dining room as i was not able to walk easily and surely not painfree. It taken me this long to communicate, as i was doing my best to deal with my anger. Having spent so much money on 4 nights and after such injuries i didnt even want to be there. I am not clear on your policies for such events. A refund of some sort would be in order. Medical paperwork is available.

Highly Disappointed Stay!

At the first glance, you think the cabin is charming but once you place your things inside, you realize that the only bathroom in the entire place has a clogged microscopic sink pressed up against the corner of this 'hall bathroom' which you cannot fit an adult in without cramming yourself all the way inside, practically on top of the toilet JUST to close the door. Bathing my 1 year old was a disaster. My parent's who attempted to sleep in the other room literally couldnt sleep, my mom fell off the bed because the bed is slanted/broken so they ended up waking up at 4am and leaving after the 1st attempted night. My husband and I tried to utilize that room but even for 1 person to sleep there was impossible. The only somewhat functioning bed was the one where we had our infant sleeping in and with the creaking doors and floors, we decided it was best not to wake her at least so we slept on the floor in the living room! Disaster!!!! The cabin is NOT meant for small kids because they want to run around outside everywhere and it is ABSOLUTELY dangerous for any young kids to be outside because of the very harsh incline towards the water with a poorly paved pathway. I had to worry about my parents going up and down the pathway. I am SHOCKED that this house passed any inspection. As a VRBO property manager myself, I would be appalled if this were my property and I was allowing people to actually pay me money to stay here. Hope this helps other families!
