Covewood faces the water from the first step inside. Eighty feet of private shoreline in Martins Cove sit at the bottom of the slope, and the house is built into that slope so both main living levels look straight across the lake. This is the north shore of Lake Wallenpaupack, the wooded, quieter side, where the neighbors are tucked back in the trees and a boat crossing the cove counts as a busy afternoon.

The main floor is the heart of the house. Cedar rises into a cathedral ceiling, natural wood carries through every room, and a stone fireplace runs floor to ceiling along one wall. The living room, dining table, and kitchen share one open space and one long view, so whoever is cooking is still part of the conversation. The kitchen is set up for real meals at home, with cookware, bakeware, a dishwasher, and a breakfast bar for coffee or a quick bite. Dinner stretches out at the big table while the lake goes dark behind it.

Head downstairs for the second hangout. A deep sectional is pointed at a big TV, pub-height tables and a small dining nook handle cards and snacks, and a stack of board games settles any argument about what to do next. The doors open straight onto the lower deck, so getting outside never means walking through the house. It's the right spot for the late-night crowd while the main floor stays quiet.

The house sleeps eight across three bedrooms and a bonus room, with a full bathroom on every level, which keeps busy mornings from stacking up. The upstairs primary has a king and the best view in the house, out over the treetops to the water. A second bedroom has a queen, and the bunk room is the kids' domain, with a full-over-twin and a twin-over-twin. Downstairs, the bonus room's queen bed offers a little extra privacy for grandparents or another couple. Air conditioning, heating, Wi-Fi, and a laptop-friendly workspace cover the everyday details, a washer and dryer make it easy to settle in for a week or more, and there's an EV charger on the property.

Two covered lakefront decks span the back of the house, so a passing shower doesn't send anyone inside. Up top there's cushioned lounge seating, a Blackstone griddle for pancakes, and a Weber charcoal grill for burgers at dusk. Below, a row of Adirondack chairs faces the water. A stone path threads down through the mountain laurel to the shoreline, where more chairs wait at the edge of the lake and kayaks and paddle boards hang on the rack. During boating season, the private dock has room for a boat up to 24 feet, so you can bring your own and tie up steps from the house.

The hot tub sits under a covered pergola in the trees, and it's the natural next stop after a day of paddling or hiking. Ease in for a soak, then move to the fire pit to keep the evening going. Most nights end there.

Every season has a version of this place. Summer is swimming off your own shore, paddling the cove, and getting a line in the water before anyone else is awake. Fall lights up the far bank. Winter is still and sharp, a few minutes of cold air on the deck and then back inside to the fire. When the lake freezes, ice fishing is a Wallenpaupack tradition, and the cove is a front-row seat for the shanties or a spot to try it yourself. When conditions allow, skating, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing start right from the shoreline.

Lake Wallenpaupack is one of Pennsylvania's largest lakes, and this side of it stays calm even in peak season. Hawley is about ten minutes away for coffee, antiques, dinner, the restored Hawley Silk Mill, and scenic boat tours. Lacawac Sanctuary offers easy trails around a glacial lake, Promised Land State Park adds more hiking and water nearby, and the Dorflinger Glass Museum sits in the woods at White Mills. Ski Big Bear at Masthope Mountain is close for winter days, with Montage Mountain and Elk Mountain each about 45 minutes out. Bethel Woods, on the original Woodstock site, is an easy day trip across the river. New York City and Philadelphia are both about two and a half hours away, near enough for a long weekend and far enough that it feels like one.
