About this property
Total privacy and relaxation in a secluded 3 bed/ 2 bath house on 5 acres.
The house offers total privacy and relaxation on 5 private acres. Behind the property there are additional 300 acres of woods suitable for walking, hiking and even dirt bike riding. Access to the house is via 1200 feet long private driveway which takes you to the top of the mountain and the middle of the forest. The closest house is only visible in the winter and is 350 yards away. This is a perfect place to escape the civilization. The town of Hackettstown offers surprisingly variety of restaurants: Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese and an award winning "James on Main" restaurant opened by a famous San Francisco chef who grew up locally and decided to return to his roots. There are also 3 local breweries in town, right on Main street. The house is located and hour from Manhattan, 30 minutes from the Delaware Water Gap (think kayaking and hiking) and 45 minutes from the ski and water park areas in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania.
There is a full house generator that comes on automatically in case of a power loss.

House was very clean, which makes any stay perfect!! The host communicated with us prior and during, which was nice. Some updates could be made to the Master Bath and advertised office and exercise areas -- but as long as everything was clean, I'm happy! We appreciate that our two little dogs could stay with us. I would definitely stay there again!
I stayed here with family/children and it was great! The host was very kind and easy to get in touch with. Also had toys for young kids there which helped! Thank you so much!
We had a fabulous time at this home in Hackettstown! Marc was the perfect host. The house was spotless, the yard was beautiful and it was so peaceful! Would definitely stay there again! Thank you!
Stayed at this house for three nights with two friends (all three of us in our 40s) and had an excellent time. Everything is as described, very clean and easy to access. Marc was very communicative and a wonderful host. Also very close to the city, but felt like we were hundreds of miles away. Recommended in all aspects!
My old roommates and I always have a yearly retreat to get away from work and family and this place was more than perfect. If u want to get away in a beautiful and private home. This is the place. The house is beautiful and immaculately kept. If ur looking to get away from the noise and husle and bustle of everyday life this place will do it. The house was larger than expected and extremely comfortable. I will recommend this place to all my family and friends. The nature and seclusion is priceless. I would definitely book this rental again.

This property felt like our own home for a week. We were 2 families and were very comfortable living, sleeping, cooking, relaxing, etc. for our vacation. Very close to center of Hackettstown and convenient to all in this quaint town.
The host Marc will make every effort to assure your stay exceeds your expectations. The home was exactly as pictured and described, making our family holiday-stay easy to plan. The area adds to the charm. We enjoyed Long Valley Brewery and Christmas with the Clydesdale at Willow Grove Farm, and would recommend both.
We wanted a place to hang out with family we hadn't seen for over a year. It was a great spot for enjoying nature (great bird watching from the porch!) We were close to stores and outdoor activities when we wanted to get out. Marc was a great host!
We stayed here because our house was being renovated and it was a great solution for us. There's an office in the basement that was very helpful for us as we (sadly) weren't on vacation. Lovely views and good hiking if the weather allows.
I was very happy with the property. The house was exceptionally clean and the grounds were nice. There were little touches like coffee, tea, etc. The check in was exceptionally easy. I would recommend this property and would stay here again.
