Whether you’re planning a quiet weekend getaway, a family vacation, or a week of outdoor adventure, Dream Lake Cottage offers a relaxing escape in Pennsylvania’s beautiful Endless Mountains.

Located in Northeast Pennsylvania, the area provides the scenery and outdoor recreation of the Poconos with a quieter, less crowded atmosphere. The cottage is approximately 30 minutes north of Scranton and only one mile from the highway, making it peaceful yet easy to reach.

After successfully hosting guests as Superhosts at our beach home in the Outer Banks, we wanted to create a waterfront retreat closer to home. We found this cottage in 2025 and spent the next 10 months thoughtfully renovating and improving it. What was once a one-bedroom cottage is now a spacious three-bedroom, three-bath home with a dedicated game room with sauna and plenty of space for families and groups to relax.

During the warmer months, guests can enjoy canoeing, kayaking, pedal boating, fishing, or simply relaxing by the water. In the evening, gather around the outdoor fire pit to roast marshmallows, share stories, and unwind under the stars. A new swing set gives younger guests another way to enjoy the outdoors.

Inside, each bedroom has its own television. One group can gather in the living room while others enjoy games and entertainment in the game room. The cottage also includes Wi-Fi and two dedicated workstations, making it easy to stay connected or get some work done during your trip. We have also installed a new sauna, providing the perfect place to unwind after a day on the lake, hiking, skiing, or exploring the area.

The cottage is a wonderful destination throughout the year. Summer brings days on the water, while fall offers incredible foliage and beautiful mountain scenery. Hunters are welcome to make the cottage their home base during hunting season. In winter, guests are only a short drive from Elk Mountain, widely regarded as one of Pennsylvania’s best ski destinations.

As a family that frequently stays in short-term rentals, we designed Dream Lake Cottage around the features, comfort, and conveniences we value when traveling. We look forward to welcoming you and helping make your next getaway a memorable one.

As for the sleeping arrangements, two bedrooms have queens size beds, the third bedroom has two bunk beds that consist of 3 twins and one full size bed. The sleeps 9 people. For additional guests there is a fold out murphy bed in the game room that can sleep two people.
