Isolated Charming Knotty Pine Cottage on 575 Acre Forest Preserve
About this cottage rental
Rates vary by date please click on rate tab above for complete information Relax in this cozy small 2 bedroom cottage, nestled on a 575 wooded acre preserve with a rushing native trout stream flowing through the property and a series of mini water falls with a huge cool soothing swimming hole. There is an abundance of wildlife, an exceptionally pristine natural wooded landscape. Perfect for a quiet romantic getaway, only 75 miles away from New York City. Entering the driveway, one begins a slow descent into the relaxed, other-worldly aura of the peaceful, bucolic and mysterious Dwarfskill Glen, traveling half a mile before reaching the cottage, the four-bedroom vintage main lodge (VRBO # 414465) and a small one-room cabin (VRBO#: 445407). From the top of the driveway, one can see a far ridge, which is part of the Dwarfskill Preserve Property. This building is one of three rental properties at the Dwarfskill Preserve, which include a 4 BR Lodge, 2BR Cottage and 1Rm Cabin. The buildings are spaced around a large circle at the end of a 1/2 mile driveway. The Lodge faces the Dwarfskill Creek and its screen porch and deck cannot be seen from the other two buildings; the Cottage faces a meadow, similarly private. The Cabin sits between the other two buildings, at the beginning of the trail to the waterfall on the 575 acre property. The only other habitable structure on the property is the Caretaker's Barn, halfway up the driveway, which is not available for short-term rental. The open combined kitchen, dining and living area in the cottage is all knotty pine with wood floors, ceiling fan, cathedral ceiling with French doors leading to a large screened in porch overlooking the meadow, with a picnic table,charcoal grill, abutting the forest. Two small bedrooms, each with queen size beds. Comfortable furniture, gas stove and kitchen stocked with necessary dishes, cookware and spices. Immaculately clean, with quality bed and bath linens. Window Air Condition Unit in the main bedroom. The Dwarfskill creek is just down a path through the woods; it can be heard babbling through the dense hemlock and pine forest as it rushes downstream to Split Rock Falls (ten minute walk from the cottage). More than a mile of the Dwarfskill, which is a naturally-reproducing trout stream, runs through the property. The cabin is located six miles from Milford, PA, which Atlantic Magazine once called “the prettiest county seat in America”; three-quarters of the village is in a National Historic District and it galleries, antiques, coffee shops, boutiques and specialty shopping. Heritage attractions include Grey Towers (Richard Morris Hunt-designed 19th c. stone mansion), The Columns Museum (featuring the blood-stained Lincoln flag, which cushioned the President's head moments after he was shot) and the Hotel Fauchere/Relais & Chateau (see website at hotelfauchere) with its three restaurants, patisserie, day spa, vintage menu collection and permanent exhibit of Hudson River School paintings.

We wanted a place with as little interaction with people as possible. There’s a town not too far if socializing is your thing but for us, it was about campfire, grilling, and exploring. The creek is great view and can follow it in either direction to see it in its natural condition. Just be wary that the terrain as is not optimal for people with movement difficulty or young children. We was always alert for the possibility of a black bear but did not notice any. The clean air, lush green, wind rustles, creek water, and aves animals set a nice atmosphere. Overall we had a great time and the wife didn’t want to go back home.

My son and I loved being in a 600-acre preserve with a series of wild, utterly remote waterfalls. The cottage we rented was perfect for us--pine walls, ceiling, and floors, a kitchen and bathroom with all the necessaries, the best in comfortable beds. We especially appreciated the works of art on the wall. The "Reliquariarum," for example, is a stunning, thoughtful-provoking, amazing piece, a far cry from the cloying cutsie decorations often found in these remote cabins.

My friends and I stayed at this Cabin for 5 nights. The surroundings are serene, rugged and beautiful. There is a creek nearby that you can hear from the cabin. The cabin is clean with just what you need for a relaxing stay. There is a huge lawn with a fire pit, Adirondack chairs and a charcoal grill. We enjoyed a campfire every night. There are a mosquitos and flies so be prepared with a repellent.

Not child friendly. Swimming seemed a bit dangerous. Fishing was limited due to trees fallen in the water. Path to water is quite strenuous. Environment around cabin was nice, cabin was cozy, but wouldn't rent again.

Loved how quiet the property was, the only thing you could hear was the water fall that was nearby. Great that there were trails to explore. The screened back porch with a ceiling fan was also great, we had great afternoons just laying out there reading. Loved this cabinand hope to come back!

It was nice and quiet place to stay, it was pretty much as listed except for the pictures made it look a lot bigger then it was. Also we ran out of hot water every time we took showers. And the beds weren’t best. But otherwise it was absolutely awesome. And very beautiful on the hiking trails and by the water falls.

We had a wonderful experience. We were on over 500 acres of beautiful land with waterfalls and rivers. We loved the wood burning stove, very cozy. The accommodations were rustic and very nice and clean. Exactly what we were looking for!
I would recommend removing the newly fallen trees in the river.
The town is close by, quaint and the people are very nice!

This slightly rustic cabin was really nice for two; not sure about four people unless it is warm enough to use the porch. Cozy is an apt description. The check in process was excellent and we appreciated having a "guide." We never did figure out how to use the woodburning stove but the heat was adequate. The kitchen is ok, and we used it alot due to COVID, but we had to improvise a bit. I suggest people bring some of their favorite pans and utensils. There is no cookie sheet , mixing bowls, or large salad bowl, for example. There is a drip coffee maker, but no electric griddle for pancakes. Also, if it has been raining, consider buying or bringing in some dry firewood. We used the fire ring, but it was a struggle! Wifi was spotty but existant, but wasn't why we were there. All in all, very nice peaceful stay.

We spent Columbus Day weekend at the Knotty Pine Cottage. The location is lovely, especially with the Fall foliage peaking. We enjoyed sitting around the fire pit and barbecuing on the grill. The cabin is delightfully rustic and comfortable ... except for the beds. The mattresses are saggy and we had a hard time getting to sleep. Other than the beds, we had a fun and relaxing stay. We would recommend the property to visitors and recommend to the owners that they consider upgrading the mattresses.

Had a wonderful few days at Dwarfskill Preserve. While there were a few small issues, most related to a storm that was completely out of the owners control, he was responsive and very helpful!. The cottage was clean, the property is gorgeous and the area lovely. We're definitely hoping to get back here some day!

We (me, my husband, and my toddler) had a lovely stay at this property for three days in August. I was a bit apprehensive about renting a place with two other rentals close by, but in fact there was a lot of privacy; the cottage faces away from the cabin and house, towards a private meadow. The screened-in porch was a welcome amenity, and the cottage was a good space for our family--with one story it was easy to keep an eye on our daughter. The property itself is spectacular: you are halfway or more down a steep, wooded hill, with a stream further down. The waterfalls are beautiful and the swimming holes refreshing. I appreciated that we were met in Milford by one of the owners, whom we followed to the property. This is unusual for rentals in this area, but it was very nice to get information from a person rather than a sheet of paper. I imagine we will come back and I recommend it to anyone looking for some time away.

Great fun
Location is amazing. The creek is beautiful and swimming in the pools below the waterfalls is amazing. The cottage is rustic but nice. WiFi signal is weak so don’t plan on using it a lot but that was the nice part. We read books, played games and had bon fires. We plan on returning.

Tranquil Getaway
We visited this quaint cabin in August and were very pleased with our stay. The cabins are a good distance away from the road so our dogs were able to run around the property freely. There is a beautiful waterfall about 100 yards away from the cabins.
This would be an amazing property for a big group since there are 3 cabins in total, fairly close together, that could house a big group for a reunion or a bachelor/bachelorette party. Check-in was super easy too. We would love to be back!

Nice quiet cabin
This was a great cabin for our long weekend getaway. Our favorite part was the screened porch, and our kids and dog also especially liked the swimming hole. The beds were comfortable and the fans kept everyone plenty cool. The kitchen was fine for prepping some of our own meals, though it could use one larger pot. Overall, nice, quiet pretty area.
