Bushkill House Rental Photos and Description

A secluded cottage on a beautiful, serene acre (plus) waterfront lot

The property is 1 1/4 acres in a secluded quiet area with no visible neighbors. It is a place to connect with nature and enjoy true peace and serenity. You can fall asleep at night listening to the sound of the running water and wake up to the sounds of nature. Read a book on the deck or take afternoon naps in the hammock. Fish from the back yard. The creek hasnative trout and is stocked. Watch the fish jump out of the water from the back deck. See the deer crossing the creek and a blue heron searching for fish on the rocks. The deck has a picnic table and a grill for outdoor eating. There is a patio with adirondeck chairs and a fire pit to sit around at night and watch the stars. There is a kayak for you to use in the creek to relax or fish and river tubes to float. You can use the beach chair if you want to just sit and cool off with the water running over you.

This house is bright and cheerful with lots of light. Art fills the walls giving it soul and colorfulness. It is a magical place filled with inspiring pieces from my travels.

OUTSIDE THE PROPERTY...

There is a path across the creek to walk along and a small lake on the top of the hill.

THIS HOUSE FEATURES...

One guest bedroom, 1 large bathroom, eat in kitchen, living room with a wood burning fireplace and high cathedral ceilings, a sun room with comfortable furniture and a laundry area. The whole back of the house has windows that look out onto the creek. There is Wifi, television, DVD and a stereo CD player. There is a portable floor air conditioner in the kitchen and living room area and ceiling and floor fans in each room. Most of the time it is cool enough that it is not needed. I love to keep the windows open to hear the sounds of nature and the running water. The guest bedroom has a full size mattress, desk and dresser. The sun room has comfortable modular furniture that you can sink into. It can be rearranged to comfortably sleep 2 persons... This room overlooks the creek with 2 large windows and a sky light. There is a folding standing divider if you want privacy.

Dogs are welcome, however, they are not allowed on the furniture. Luna, the neighborhood dog most likely will visit you during your stay. She is super- friendly and most of my guests and their dogs love her and her visits. (see reviews)

    This was my second stay at Yellow Magnolia and I'm so glad I went again. Although the weather was a bit too chilly to really enjoy the deck, the fireplace came in handy.I was there primarily to hike in the area, and it's really convenient to lots of good hikes. I also just love how isolated the home feels, even though it's on the edge of a neighborhood.I cooked every night I was there; the kitchen is well stocked with what I needed. Both the main room and the sunroom are SO comfy. And the morning light!!!Good chance this will become a regular trip for me.....

I talked to Barbara, and she was so welcoming and friendly and the ease of checking in and getting into the house was great.It was a lovely home that was nicely decorated with beautiful artwork. We enjoyed the peace and calmness of the property. It was just what we were looking for. The brook/stream outside the window was breathtaking. The heated toilet seat was a fancy surprise, every time I used it, it made me smile - so nice on a cold day!!!We plan on rented this place again when it is warmer and we can go into the water. All in all, it is a wonderful place to stay!!!

From the deer on the river, the peaceful sound of the flowing water to the eagle in the tree, and how could I forget Luna‘s little visits. Barbara the host was very communicative. What made this Little Home so special was her Galactic taste and style. my husband and I couldn’t have picked a better place for our almost one year honeymoon. can’t wait to come back in the spring.

    The good: Location in backyard. Loved the hummingbird visits due to the wonderful choice of flowers. Natural setting on the creek. Lucky to see lots of wildlife. Firepit and chairs next to creek.The bad: Fridge was dirty. Wet dog smell in the comforters. Kitchen cabinet shelves ready to collapse. Sunroom couch not comfortable to sleep on. Pans (concave) unusable on the electric stove. Window in bedroom not working. Cobwebs on bedroom ceiling.We were grateful for the use of the house and some things should be updated and cleaned.

    The backyard going up to the river is amazing. When my wife and I booked, the listing said the property had no visible neighbors. Unfortunately, that was not true. While standing on the back deck, you can see (through the trees) another house at the top of the hill going up from the back yard. Once you go down into the backyard, the view becomes direct and unobstructed.Additionally, there is an infrequently used road that runs right in front of the property, so it does not have the completely isolated feel that we were expecting. When down by the fire pit by the river, we could hear the conversations of people on the road bridge over the river.That said, once I adjusted my expectations, I was able to shift my plan for the stay and enjoy myself. My original intention was to spend most of the time at the property, enjoying the isolation. Instead, the stay became much more about going out and doing stuff than we had intended. The host is great with communication, and visits from the neighborhood dog Luna were delightful. We loved opening the back doors and listening to the sound of the river. We didn't get to enjoy the outside as much as we'd like because it rained most of our stay, but watching and listening to the rain fall on the river was delightful. Overall, sadly, the stay was sullied by what felt like misleading advertising. I shared this with the host, and hopefully the listing will be updated.

Definitely would like to go back and fish the stream again. Met Luna when she came for a visit on Saturday, she friendly and very nice. If your looking for a quiet place to relax I recommend staying here.

Very relaxing and peaceful . I enjoyed breakfast on the deck listening to the water and enjoying the warm sun. In the late afternoon sitting out by the river was a perfect ending to the day. .

    I was looking for a quiet spot to do some soul searching, close to good hiking....and this home was PERFECT. Although it's located in a community, as advertised I didn't really see any neighbors. The home itself has so much personality, unlike many other nondescript places where I've rented before. I like to cook and the kitchen was well equipped. The bidet was a welcome surprise and the tub is large enough for a good soak. The huge deck was a perfect place to have coffee and dinner and just hang out. Unfortunately, my fire pit nights got rained out, but the spot is lovely to sit and listen to the stream.I spent my days hiking nearby--really good trails only 15-20 minutes away. I only ate one meal out--a really good Colombian restaurant I passed on my way in. Fabulous!Visitors: an eagle (twice!), turkeys, buzzards, deer and of course the neighborhood dog Luna, who came to the slider and woofed to say hello!Definitely a gem and hope to visit again in the future!

    The placement of the cabin was great being able to sit on the porch or by the fire pit to enjoy games and meals with the sound of the water. We saw deer, chipmunks, hawks, a coyote, and a blue heron landed right in the water while we sat by the fire pit. If you bring a dog, there is a large fenced-in baseball field right across the bridge near the property that was great for our dog to play fetch in. The neighborhood dog Luna, was more of a permanent resident rather than a visitor as she was always waiting outside for us and it became a bit difficult to enjoy the property with our dog out with us as we intended. We had to leave our dog in their crate more than we wanted to since Luna was friendly but caused our dog to become a bit too riled up since Luna always wanted to play. We found the bed to be a bit uncomfortable sagging in the middle, there was a strong mildew odor when we arrived that could be remedied with an air purifier or dehumidifier, and the fire detectors did not work when we tested the test buttons. The listing did not mention it but there is also another locked room in the cabin, we assumed it was another bedroom but would have felt more comfortable knowing there was another room.

    My partner and I enjoyed our stay. The property was exactly as described and the setting on the creek was so peaceful. Sitting by the creek or on the deck with coffee was perfect. Since the house is so close to hiking spots, we were able to get to Bushkill Falls easily. We had several visits from Luna, the neighbor’s dog, and our dog had a great time playing with her. Our only minor complaint is the mattress is not very comfortable and sort of slanted into the middle of the bed, but that wouldn’t stop us from recommending this place, or coming back again, which we plan to do! Thanks for a wonderful stay.
