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.

Perfect little house with great views.
Description was accurate. Photos are too except they have new sofas that are blue. Place was spotless. Nice outdoors area. We used the grill and the fire pit ring one day. We drove across the bridge into NY and explored a little over there. It is fun to watch all the people floating by. I am sure in the winter months the river is very quiet. Rafting is a short walk away and looked fun. Thank you for the hospitality! stayed 2 night and drove in

EZ Peasy at Lazy River Cottage
Quaint and comfortable accommodations in a quiet environment. Lamps in bedroom and living space could be brighter for reading. Seat level in living area lower than ideal but adequate. Trying to contact owner as spouse forgot bag in bedroom. Overall would definitely return for the peace and serenity property offered.

Lovely Getaway
What a lovely cottage right on the river! The cottage was immaculately clean and decorated tastefully. We had a good experience communicating with David. We really enjoyed sitting in the chairs right by the river as well as the table top fire on the deck. The weather was glorious and we were able to check out one of the local trails. We even saw a bald eagle right on the property. The only negative, which can't be helped, is the sound of the busy road on the New York side of the river. We were hoping it was more remote. Thank you for hosting us!

Weekend Getaway
The cottage was perfect! Everything about the cottage was just as it was described. The cottage was neat as a pin upon arrival, we got in at night and David had the light on and music playing for us. Would definitely recommend the Cottage to others as the perfect weekend retreat.

A lovely quiet retreat
The cabin was just as described. A great, clean space for us to enjoy our time and get away from the city. A nice, small kitchen allowed us to cook meals and enjoy as we watched the river go by. There is an excellent selection of records to choose from as you spend your time.

Excellent riverside retreat
Very nice place to unplug, lots of really nice touches and even a kitchen area that’s better stocked than you might expect. We’re able to cook some great meals, enjoy the fireplace and record player, and take in the awesome view of the river from the wall to wall windows of the main living space. Would love to return in the warmer weather to take better advantage of the property and fire pits!

What a beautiful, secluded location everything was perfect. The ambience the amenities inside the home was fantastic. The only thing was there weren’t any blinds on the windows which was a little unnerving, but I got used to it overall we definitely would be back again.

Tranquility at the Lazy River Cottage
The lazy river cottage is the perfect location for a peaceful retreat. Being on the lake surrounded by nature was pure tranquility. The cottage itself is welcoming, clean and very well appointed. It provided all the comforts of home and more. The host was very thoughtful in the attention to detail to ensure the most comfortable stay for guests including scent free luxurious bedding and towels. The many games and music were provided were fun and enjoyable. Would highly recommend.
