Wally’s Cottage|New|HotTub|Fireplace|Close to Town

Welcome to Wally's Cottage. This place is a couples retreat or a small family of 4 paradise. This fully fenced in property is a perfect home base which many consider the best location around the lake. The cottage is right down the street from downtown Hawley, a short drive to Honesdale, restaurants, groceries, and breweries. Come enjoy hanging out on the patio with a nice fire, or take a drive to do a local activity. Enjoy the 2-Person Hot Tub, Game Shed, or take the Kayaks for an exploration.

Keeping the traditional cottage feel while meshing it with modern amenities and flare best describes this newly renovated cottage named after Wallenpaupack's Nickname "Wally".

You approach the front with a full length porch that has Adirondack chairs aside an antique ski lift from the old Vernon Valley Resort to relax in. Across the deck is a picnic table to enjoy a nice outdoor meal. Once inside, guests will find a brand new fully equipped kitchen ready for any cooking they plan to do. Updated Stainless Appliances including a dishwasher and Ice/Filtered drinking water are there for your comfort. The living room adjacent to the kitchen includes a 42" TV with Roku enabled. Below that is an easy to use propane fireplace (Turned off during Summer). Games located in the built-ins and guests will find a getaway guide which includes comprehensive information on the property and local area. Opposite corner of the living room you will find cozy dining room for 4 adjacent to the rear entry and spiral stairs.

Aside the dining room is full bathroom with a sliding glass enclosure. If you take the spiral stairs up you will enter the loft. This holds a Full and a Twin bed, while a desk is also available to get some work done if needed. The master bedroom below holds a Queen bed with a small closet behind the entrance door.

Just through the rear door is the outside space. This may be one of the best aspects of the property. There is a chimenea right outside the backdoor perfect for roasting marshmallows and hanging out. You'll also find comfortable chairs under the Edison lights to enjoy the light breeze from the the lake just down the road. A newer 4 burner grill is also on the patio with provided propane. The rear yard and Game Shed are fully fenced in which is perfect for children or your four legged friends. Last but not least is the 2-person Hot Tub for you to enjoy relaxing

There are 3 kayaks on the side of the property and 2 more kayaks and a double-person canoe on the other side to utilize if interested (Life jackets must be worn). The kayaks/canoes can be launched at the public boat launch a short drive away, or cart them 6 blocks (1,500') to Walt's and pay a small fee to drop them in there. (We have carts to walk them down the street). Note, these are shared between our 3 houses and are first come first serve.

*Please note there is a $75 one-time dog fee which allows you to bring 1 dog onto the property during your trip. We are dog lovers but ask that you keep your furry friends off the furniture and clean up after them for the sake of other renters. Waste bags provided from dispenser in backyard. Add your dogs to the reservation for the dog fee to be applied please.

Your booking included sheets, pillows (2 per guest), towels (1 per guest), wash clothes (1 per guest), 2 hand towels, toiletries (body wash, shampoo, and conditioner), and some basic supplies (Dish Soap, 2 dishwasher tablets, 2 trash bags, 2 paper towels, 2 toilet paper rolls, and hand soap) to get your stay started.

If you are looking for baby gear suh as pack-n-plays, high chairs, ect. We have a partnership with a local supplier that can deliver and even set them up at the property for you to use during your stay. Just let us know.

We look forward to providing you with the best experience to make your trip unforgettable, and it is our goal for you to enjoy it so much we will see you every year! Come take a Wallyday!

There is no lake access with the property. If you want to swim in the lake you must use the public beach 5 minutes away (MDW - LDW). For launching boats/Kayaks you can use the public Launch (1.5 miles away), or Walt’s Landing Marina(6 blocks/ 1,500' away). If available Walt's sometimes has rental slips (Call ahead).

The neighborhood is walking friendly. Feel free to walk around 6th street and Paupack Point Road with your four-Legged friends. There is no Street Parking we have a rock driveway. The driveway can accommodate a maximum of 2 vehicles.

As an avid renter myself I know the importance of privacy, yet knowing the owner is available at a moments notice if any issues were to arise. Because of this, transparency is key for our guests to have the absolute best experience possible. Our goal is to have a 5 start stay with each booking. With each booking there will be contactless access to the property with a digital keycode. A digital guidebook will be provided prior to the stay as well as a paper copy of the same guidebook on the coffee table. Everything will be explained in this guidebook for an easy yet rewarding experience for the guests. Should anything else arise I will be available through messaging and will be able to provide responses promptly. We take great pride in making the stay as easy as possible, and have done our best to make the property as user friendly and accommodating as possible during the recent renovations

Walt's Landing and the surrounding communities are some of the original lakeside developments around the Lake. The Lake House resides a short drive up a dead end private street with plenty of privacy, yet is easy to get in and out. The lake itself has 52 miles of shoreline that allows fishing, boating (No HP restriction), and swimming. Rubber Duckie Boat rentals is a 7 minute drive, and Palmayra Public Beach is only 5 minutes away. Mangan Cove which is a very nice public boat launch is only a 3 minute drive.

The Lake House is about a 2 hour drive from NYC, and a 2 and a half hour drive from Philly. Standard phone mapping apps are all effective to route your path to the Lake House. Don't hesitate to contact us for more specific directions, if needed. While in Hawley, a car is necessary to get around. There are Ubers and Lyfts available, but they are unreliable. There are a few attractions and restaurants that are walking distance from the property, but to experience most of what Hawley has to offer, you will need a vehicle.

During checkout you will see the prompt "Refundable deposit paid at property." This is an automatically generated prompt and is not the case. The Deposit is a security deposit is Authorization that is charged on the day before check-in.

We were looking for a quite get away and this fit the bill. Quiet area, especially since it looks like we booked just off season. The place was clean and well maintained.

Lake Wally
Really liked the cottage. It's perfect for two and would be fine with 2 small children...need to be pretty nimble to get up the spiral stairs to the loft. Anything more than 4 people and I would book one of their other properties that are adjacent to this cottage. Close to the boat launch and even closer to a private ramp that charges $10 to lunch. Definitely worth it to avoid the mayhem of the public launch. Most amenities are within a couple of miles...groceries, beer/wine, Dunkin, CVS etc. Food in area is meh. We liked Wallenpaupack Brewing Company...didn't care much for the Ledges. Decent sandwiches at Lake Side Deli, across from the High School.

Upstairs sleeps 2.ceiling angle on larger bed prevents 2 people from using it. Great location. , close to lake. Kyaks were great. Outside area needs some attention ; no fire pit. It is a chemenia.

Perfect cozy cottage!
The cottage is described perfectly in the listing. You feel like you are staying in the rustic woods and when you go inside the place has everything! It was super clean and all directions/instructions from the owners were clear and concise. The back yard is fenced in so our dog had a wonderful time barking at sticks and deer! Visitors to the rental next to us had two dogs so they hung out together, it was great. We were close by car to the lake and ice cream and the grocery store. Would definitely return to Wallys cottage or any other property these owners offer!

Cozy, great location, lots to do, fantastic people
My husband and I stayed here in May of 2024 for a long weekend. Our prior Poconos cabin getaway was a bit of a disappointment - aging buildings, not very clean, few modern conveniences. This place was a very pleasant surprise! It has very new appliances, a large walk-in shower, a lovely two-person hot tub, a fireplace, HDTV (with an HDMI port if you bring any devices), 200mbps/25mbps (from what I could tell) Internet service (incredible for the location)… There was everything we could need. Even though we were pre-season, there were a number of excellent restaurants taking reservations and open within a ten-minute drive. We recommend the Settlers Inn, Robin and Ravyn’s, and Glass wine bar and kitchen. There are plenty more of other more casual restaurants/pubs if that is your scene. There are hiking trails, kayaking/canoeing (included with the property as first come/first serve), plenty of neat little shops, the lake is a three minute walk… I can’t say enough good things about this cute and cozy yet modernized cottage. Any couple or small family will feel at home with lots to do. The property managers were incredibly kind and accommodating, going above and beyond with offers to help us with a small crisis we had that may have impacted the duration of our stay. They also responded immediately when I reported a previous guest had chipped a single wine glass (there were plenty more for us to use!) by delivering four more glasses the next morning! We will be back!

Good stay in a good town
Cute, cozy cabin in a quiet, small town near the lake and some beautiful hiking trails. A lot of things to do around town and the nearby area, especially during ski-season or warmer months for outdoorsy fun on the lake. Even if weather isn't cooperating, there's a good amount to do in the cabin or going to some local places to eat. Would highly recommend to anyone for a weekend trip or a longer vacation escape!

This property was SO cute. Everything was super clean and the location was awesome. A 5 mins drive to a local brewery. It rained for our trip so we didn’t get to utilize the outdoor area, we wish we could’ve because it was adorable. The owners were awesome with keeping in touch as well. I am already planning a trip back to this property.

It's a comfortable, clean and cute house. Kitchen is well stocked. Bedding is comfortable. Neighborhood is very quiet and seems safe. If you are traveling with a dog, as I was, there are lots of interesting walks in the neighborhood including to the dock and boat launch just down the street. The hosts were very friendly without being intrusive. They answered questions very quickly and were very responsive to one problem I ran into (missing remote that turned up with a more intense search). I would definitely stay again.
