Come stay at Wally's Cabin! This tradtional cabin comes with many features to get you in a peaceful and relaxing mindset, but what's even better is the location. secluded, yet close to Lake Wallenpaupack. This home resides right down the street from downtown Hawley, restaurants, and countless activities. Come enjoy hanging out in the fully fenced backyard with a chimenea, or take a quick drive to do a local venture such as hiking, fishing, restauranting, bar hopping, kayaking, even festivals!

The living room adjacent to the kitchen includes a 50" smart TV, Classic NES & PS1, and board games. Caty-corner to the couch and loveseat is a beautiful cast iron gas fireplace that turns on to keep you cozy with the flip of a switch. We leave custom getaway guides on the coffee table that includes information on the property and the local area with our personal recommendations. Enclosed in the couch is a Queen pullout sofa bed.
Just through the back door is the newly renovated sunroom. This area is an amazing place to sit and enjoy a meal in the summer or during a snowy day in the offseason. There is a 6-person breakfast noon on one end and a 50" smart TV on the other. Another new adition is the large rear deck connecting directly to the hot tub with some seating.
There is a firepit right outside the back perfect for roasting marshmallows on a gravel patio and a picnic table adjacent. Enjoy the light breeze from the the lake under the Edison lights glazing overhead. Soak and relax in the 4-Person Hot Tub located right around the corner. Off the back deck is a new 4 burner Weber grill with provided propane. To the right of the house/driveway is an area for boat/snowmobile trailer parking.

(We have carts to walk them down the street). Note, these are shared between our 3 houses and are first come first serve.
We do not provide firewood, but out front is a self service station with wood for sale provided by a local company (Cash or electronic payment) . This way you don't have to worry about to transporting it.

As an avid Airbnb renter myself I know the importance of privacy, yet knowing the owner is available at a moments notice if any issues were to arise. Because of this, transparency is key for our guests to have the absolute best experience possible. Our goal is to have a 5 start stay with each booking. With each booking there will be contactless access to the property with a digital keycode. A digital guidebook will be provided prior to the stay as well as a paper copy of the same guidebook on the coffee table. Everything will be explained in this guidebook for an easy yet rewarding experience for the guests. Should anything else arise I will be available through messaging and will be able to provide responses promptly. We take great pride in making the stay as easy as possible, and have done our best to make the property as user friendly and accommodating as possible during the recent renovations.
Walt's Landing and the surrounding communities are some of the original lakeside developments around the Lake. The Lake House resides a short drive up a dead end private street with plenty of privacy, yet is easy to get in and out. The lake itself has 52 miles of shoreline that allows fishing, boating (No HP restriction), and swimming. Rubber Duckie Boat rentals is a 7 minute drive, and Palmayra Public Beach is only 5 minutes away. Mangan Cove which is a very nice public boat launch is only a 3 minute drive and there is enough room on the property for a boat/snowmobile trailer to be parked as well.
The Lake House is about a 2 hour drive from NYC, and a 2 and a half hour drive from Philly. Standard phone mapping apps are all effective to route your path to the Lake House. Don't hesitate to contact us for more specific directions, if needed. While in Hawley, a car is necessary to get around. There are Ubers and Lyfts available, but they are unreliable. There are a few attractions and restaurants that are walking distance from the property, but to experience most of what Hawley has to offer, you will need a vehicle.
**No RWD vehicles in winter months due to small hill on entrance to street and no alternative parking. Road/Driveway/Sidewalk snow does get plowed and maintained but timing depends on storms. AWD/4WD is best in winter months if attending during snowstorms**
