Creek Side Knotty Pine 1930s Lodge on 575 Acres

Description from the owner

Charming historic four bedroom lodge on 575 private wooded preserve overlooking a breathtaking naturally-reproducing trout stream & waterfalls cascading through a thickly forested glen with a cool soothing swimming hole and a gorgeous mountain view. The view of the stream from the lodge looks like a Hollywood movie set. Only 75 miles from Manhattan, 125 from Philadelphia.

Exceptionally private, half-mile long driveway (gated); for 75 years was a private hunting club but now is maintained as the owner's exclusive retreat. Privacy and discretion assured; specialized and experienced in hospitality for high-profile clientele requiring ex...ceptional service. Vintage furniture in knotty pine 1930s lodge, all natural materials (no sheetrock) with cathedral ceiling, stone wood-burning fireplace, furnished screened porch, large deck, picnic table set on slate patio and interesting artwork.

  The property is perfect for anyone who wants to unwind and get in touch with nature. The cabin is in impeccable shape with top notch accommodations. The owner has maintained the original feel and look to perfection, complete with great furniture and art. The property features many acres to explore and walk around. Only a few minutes from town, Sean is very generous in his attentiveness to his guests, often providing guidance and suggestions for what to do during your stay. I look forward to coming back and exploring more of Milford and the beautiful area around the Delaware Water Gap.

  Lovely!

  Left on 07/31/2012 for a stay in July 2012
  
  

  I had a wonderful and relaxing stay here for a writing retreat. This place is so beautiful and peaceful. The cabin is lovely, large, clean, comfortable, and has everything I needed. The property is amazing - a real natural setting, quiet except the sound of the beautiful creek tumbling by. It's easy to walk around and discover the beauty of the place - and the pine trees provide welcome shade and cool air in the summertime! I particularly enjoyed the screened-in porch and the path down by the river where you can meander along and see the waterfalls, and a new dam some beavers are building.
  
  The owner and caretaker are very accommodating, open to suggestions and available if you need them. A great retreat from the city life!
