A romantic cottage and artist's retreat looking down over an enchanted lake

The Little House is a 650 square foot cottage ideal for a couple or as a solo artist's/writer's retreat. It is a lovingly decorated country cottage. There is one large bedroom, one bathroom, and a book-lined living room complete with a fold-out futon for an extra guest. The bedroom is shaded by trees and is perfect for cool late-afternoon naps. The room has a vanity table and a large closet. The living room has wicker chairs, a gas fireplace, and a dvd player. The seven-mile lake can be seen from all windows. And the sliding door leads directly from the living room out to a large deck - a true highlight of the little house, as the view is breathtaking in all seasons!
The kitchen offers all the basic amenities including a microwave, washing machine, and a separate walk-in pantry complete with storage shelves and a washer and dryer.
On the property, there is a garden, a large garden shed, and an outdoor seating area. The entire property is bordered by rocks, trees, and such perennial plants as mint, sage, and tiger-lilies. Parking is available in the front of the house, and there is space for two cars.
A small private beach ('B beach'), shared with other residents of our Indian Park neighborhood, is a 10 minute down-hill walk away, or a 2 minute drive in the car. You also have access to the larger public beach in the village (a five minute drive). Bus transportation to and from New York City is at the bottom of our neighborhood -- again, a ten-minute walk down hill. Express and local buses on the New Jersey Transit System.
Finally, the Little House backs up against the Appalachian Trail so wonderful hikes abound. You can find a trail head (if courageous) on the upper roads of Indian Park, or enjoy other hiking opportunities in nearby Sterling Forest and Harriman State Park. Along with hiking, wineries, crafts, festivals and fairs can be found in the nearby towns of Warwick, Sugar Loaf, and Monroe, NY. -- The Little House has it all; come for the quiet, the peace, and the beauty of the lake, mountains, and sky.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cottage, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected. Conveniences include a desk and a microwave.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as a spa tub or take in the view from a garden.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

We cannot overstate how perfect this cottage was for us to have a quiet retreat. The place has all you need to unwind and drink in the view. The owners went above and beyond (we stayed 2 full months!). Everything was lovely, thanks Julia :)

Disappointed Not as Pictured
Cottage is in a nice place, but there was not one comfortable place to sit ! Furniture,falling apart wicker,cushions torn, filling falling out. We fixed the WIFI ( were told to call the tech guy ourselves)broken TV. Broken patio umbrella.Filthy, sticky bathroom floor. Mat in tub full of fungus.Rickety ,dirty night stands. Metal sitting set in front, rusty, falling apart. Total trash. Too bad the owner didn't care . Could have been great. Save your money, don't wish this experience on anyone. UGH!!

Enjoyable stay in the cottage with nice lake view and friendly neighbours. Julia was always easy to reach and communicate with. Everything we needed was either available upon arrival or provided in timely manner upon request. We would love to return to the little house in the future.

Great Anniversary Getaway
My husband and I stayed at The Little House for the weekend to celebrate our anniversary. We really enjoyed our stay. The house is very basic but had everything we needed. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck. Julia was very quick to respond to messages. Overall we had a very nice time!

Wonderful little getaway
The Little House was just what we needed to get out of the city and celebrate a birthday. While the weather didn't allow for much time outdoors, that was perfectly ok with us. We loved sitting by the fire with the view of the lake and enjoying the peace and quiet. The place was clean and had everything we needed, and Julia was very responsive when we had any questions. And her restaurant recommendations in the yellow book were great. We hope to be back in the summer.
