Great location directly on the waterfront of Lake Shehawken in Rural Pennsylvania. 60 acre spring fed lake adjoining two 400 acre farms. Nothing but tranquility surrounds.
Minutes from Hancock, NY.
Renovated four season lakefront cottage has all the amenities to make your vacation comfortable.
Gentle slope to private lake for summertime swimming, boating and fishing. Walk out the front door to hiking and biking. Near miles and miles of trails through state game lands. Minutes to the West Branch Delaware River for world class fly fishing, or drive a little further south to the Main Stem Delaware River for rafting and canoeing.
House has renovated kitchen, and two renovated bathrooms (1 double shower, 1 clawfoot bathtub) and rental comes with clean white linens and towels. House has three bedrooms that sleeps up to 6 adults plus 4 children (full bed in each of three bedrooms, plus bunk beds in two of the larger rooms).
Lake Shehawken is a spring fed lake that has modest homes and cottages that have been owned by families for generations. The few renters tend to be families that come back year after year. Fantastic place to enjoy the solitude and relax.
Located in the North East corner of Wayne County, PA, just minutes from Hancock, NY (convergence of East and West Branches of Delaware River). Approximately 3 hours door-to-door from NYC or Philadelphia.

The lake views and sunrise are amazing. The area is remote and quiet and was exactly what we were hoping to find. We had planned on cooking all our meals and the Preston County Market 15 minutes away had most anything we had not packed. Hancock, NY, a 30 minute country ride away had antique shops and a lovely overlook of the DE River.The host has stocked the house inside and out with everything you could possibly need for a sunny or rainy day. Eric was very responsive when an unforeseen maintenance issue arose and handled it quickly and efficiently. The lake was beautiful and we hope to return!
This place was more than accommodating, had everything we needed. Comfy beds, games for kids to play and the lake was beautiful. Had a very nice week of relaxation.
If you're looking for a secluded, mountain getaway, look no further. We went for an extended family ski trip over Presidents' Weekend and found this to be the perfect spot! The instructions emailed prior to our trip were comprehensive an perfect for navigating the back roads, check-in details, turning on all of the different aspects of the house's systems, etc. We arrived in the dark only to wake up to the most gorgeous view of the sun coming up over the lake, which feels like you could just reach out the window and touch it. The touches to the home were wonderful with lots of attention paid to the small details. Great comfortable beds, wonderful kitchen setup, awesome screened-in porch with wood burning stove, etc. We particularly loved that the house was stocked with family and kids' games! Just know the walls are thin, so best for friends and family who are comfortable with one another. Only an easy 20-25 min drive from Elk for skiing and within 15 min from a bunch of casual dining options. All in all, we absolutely loved our stay!
Everything was as advertised & promised by the owner. This cottage was clean & adequately furnished. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need (two coffee makers, toaster oven, microwave, coffee filters, spices, condiments, etc. etc.) There was even coffee & ice cream in the fridge! Shehawken is an idyllic, quiet lake (large pond, really) that only allows electric outboard motors, so it’s perfect for paddling around peacefully in kayaks & canoes provided for quests. The sunsets across the Lake are breathtaking. One word of advice - if you’re planning to be loud or boisterous, this is not the place for you. It’s not in a community or a setting that lends itself to being a “party house.”
This is our 3rd stay at the Sheehawken house. As usual everything was as expected. The house is always clean the lake is always beautiful. Eric checks in to make sure we have what we need and that everything is going well. We will be back next year.
Our family enjoyed kayaking, canoeing, and floating on the beautiful lake. We kept commenting how quiet it was! A great place to unwind and recharge. We look forward to coming again next year.
We had a great week at this beautiful lake retreat. Eric was super nice and home was so well appointed. Kids and I loved it! Rick
Beautiful, clean, well stocked house with everything you could want. April is too soon for fishing though. Hopefully we can get back there in a warmer season.
Quirky, cozy cabin was just right for a long weekend with the extended family for skiing at Elk Mountain. Was a great way to unplug and enjoy ourselves, ages 9-43. Cabin was exactly what we were expecting it to be. Thanks for having us!
This was our third stay at this property. The house is unique for a lake/mountain home. It is very clean, comfortable, and has everything you need for your stay. The lake is quiet and beautiful and we enjoyed kayaking and fishing and caught bass, yellow perch, a catfish, and some of the largest sunfish I have ever seen. We enjoyed hiking on the D&H Rail Trail as well as the O&W Rail Trail. If you are looking for a great place to stay, off the beaten trail, we would highly recommend Eric's house.
