About this property

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.

The property was clean and very cozy. Our only note would be that other houses are close enough that it would be nice to have the option to draw curtains or blinds for a bit of extra privacy.

The fireplace was perfect to get the morning chill out. Kitchen had enough supplies for breakfast and dinner. I grilled our meals. Breakfast and dinner. The view of the Delaware was amazing, inside or outside of the cottage. My wife enjoyed the speaker system while we were in the cottage. The host was quick and informative when asked about things in the area. Fishing on site was nice. PA. sells a 3 day fishing license.
