There is no lake access with the property. If you want to swim in the lake you must use the public beach 5 minutes away (MDW - LDW). For launching boats/Kayaks you can use the public Launch (1.5 miles away), or Walt’s Landing Marina(2 blocks away). If available Walt's sometimes has rental slips (Call ahead).
The neighborhood is walking friendly. Feel free to walk around 6th street and Paupack Point Road with your four-Legged friends. There is no Street Parking we have a paved driveway. The driveway can accommodate a maximum of 4 vehicles and 1 boat/snowmobile trailer or 5th vehicle.
As an avid 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. Brand New larger paved driveway/ street of November 2022 not pictured.
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.
