Cozy Cottage at the River - Historic CampMeeting Cottage, 1 Block from River

Only one block from the water, set high on the Island Heights bluff, this original “L-Style” Victorian historic camp meeting cottage was built in 1883. It stands today as one of the only original camp meeting cottages left in Island Heights with very few architectural modifications. This home was featured in the NJ Star Ledger for it’s restoration, and is truly a one-of-a-kind gem.

Restored to its former glory, this two-story cottage has new and modern upgrades, but retains all of its original charm. It including original pine paneling, stained-glass windows, custom builtins, board and batten siding, winding staircase, and hardwood floors. Enjoy the river breezes from the the wrap-around porch, take a walk down to the promenade to watch the sailboats go by and see our famous Island Heights sunsets. Across the street, is the historic camp meeting grounds, which is now a park with a pavilion, perfect for playing a game of frisbee, a picnic or watching the sailboats go by.

There is walkable access to sailing, boating, crabbing, fishing.
