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 cottage was clean and well appointed with everything we needed for our stay. It was nice to be able to sit outside and enjoy the scenery. There was adequate space in the living area to spread out to play games, read, relax and eat.
We had such a nice time. The lazy river cottage was the perfect place for a relaxing couple days away. Everything we needed was there and David was easy and great to communicate with. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
The Lazy River Cottage was exactly what we needed. Beautiful scenery, lovely accommodations, quiet location and privacy, but close to great restaurants, hiking trails, and more.
We loved every minute and left refreshed!
The cabin and the view are amazing. David goes above and beyond as a host in the thoughtfulness of amenities, such as night lights, tissues, etc. Sitting by the fire by the river is so therapeutic! Beautiful hiking trails nearby as well. Overall, an excellent experience and we hope to come back some day.
what a lovely lovely cottage by the lake very clean all the amenities inside the house. Contact with the host was amazing. Fire pit fireplace very lovely place. Will stay there again.
Perfect cottage for a relaxing getaway. Super clean and had all the essentials needed. Great host, very responsive to messages. Would definitely recommend and visit again.
Beautiful location, quiet and private. The cottage is new and impeccably clean. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Communication with David, the host, was fast and easy.

We absolutely loved our stay at Lazy River Cottage! The cottage was clean, well-decorated, and full of light. The view of the river was stunning and such a delight to observe in the mornings. David was responsive to our needs. We highly recommend this property!
Luckily this cottage was available for us. This was a last minute trip & David was very accommodating to our requests. Communication was excellent. The cottage is cozy & beautifully decorated. Waking to the sounds of the River & watching the sunrise were some of my favorite moments. If you’re looking for a secluded retreat, this is it!
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.
