Sawkill Creek Cottage is perched above a hillside overlooking thousands of acres of protected land at the confluence of two pristine creeks. Relax on the deck above the forested valley or splash around in the cool, clear creeks. Grab great food or browse the shops in nearby Milford. Curl up with a book from our library or triumph in the family ping pong tournament. See the stars. Watch the birds. Breathe. If you are looking for privacy and peace in a natural setting, your search has ended. This Go to Poconos cottage is only a few minutes from the small-town charm of Milford, less than two hours from New York City, and close to some of the most beautiful natural areas in the Poconos. There are three queen beds, one full bed, and one twin bed. The grounds include a small backyard with fruit trees, three babbling springs, and a thousand springtime daffodils. The front yard slopes to the confluence of the Savantine and Sawkill Creeks, two 'exceptional high value' streams that flow out of Delaware State Forest. There are short switchback walking paths that allow guests to travel the hillside down to a flat picnic area at the water's edge. The setting is relaxing and a dream for kids who like to get up close and personal with the natural world. The cottage sports a wrap-around deck with seating and views over the creek bottom, a portion of the Delaware State Forest, and the Pinchot Experimental Forest. The hot tub is situated under the deck with views across the valley. Inside, the open main level includes a family room, the kitchen, the dining room, and a half bathroom. There are built-in bookshelves that provide an eclectic library of books and DVDs. There is access to the wrap-around deck and the large windows make this space bright and full of light. A cozy wood stove is next to the coffee and tea nook where two chairs provide a comfy place for a relaxing and centering start to your day. The dining table has space for 8 and the family room is set up for quality time together or facing a 60" Smart TV and a DVD player. There is a record player and a Bluetooth speaker. The kitchen is fully equipped to prepare meals for large groups. The coffee bar includes a percolator, french press, burr grinder, scale, Chemex pour-over carafe, and an electric gooseneck kettle. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a full bathroom. The western and northern bedrooms both have queen beds. The eastern bedroom includes a twin-over-full bunk bed and an additional twin bed. Downstairs is a recreational room set up with a full-size ping pong table, a 50" Smart TV, and an assortment of board games and puzzles. There is another full bathroom with a freestanding soaking tub. Special Occasion? Inquire about very special custom setups for your arrival! A romantic getaway? A friend's reunion? A holiday?

This place was absolutely stunning. Our only regret was that we weren't staying longer, but we hope to return one day. Our mornings began with coffee in the rocking chairs, enjoying the peaceful sounds of the stream below and ended with an evening in the hot tub enjoying the valley sunsets and the silence of nature. A great escape from the city! We did drive into Milford one evening, a town I was not too familiar with beforehand. Charming little town to walk around in, with some nice shops, restaurants and breweries. It was a super short, easy drive. Can't wait to return!
The cottage is in a secluded, wooded setting, but is only a few minutes to the lovely small town of Milford. Milford has a nice, walkable main street with many restaurants, cafes, museums and shops.
IMPORTANT WINTER BOOKING INFORMATION
In the event of snowy or icy conditions, our driveway becomes extremely challenging for vehicles. If wintry weather is expected, we require that you park at the top of our driveway and walk down to the house. We will provide snowshoes and trekking poles. It is possible that you will need to walk (or snowshoe) along a short steep path from the parking area to the house. It's an adventure!
Most guests bring their own vehicle, although you could take the train to Port Jervis and schedule an Uber to drive the 10 miles to our cottage.
自我介绍
We are an outdoorsy, animal loving family who live by the "work hard, play hard" motto. After struggling to find upscale AirBnBs who would welcome our dogs, we decided to start purchasing unique homes in areas we love to share with other pet loving families. As seasoned hosts with over 50 five star reviews on other platforms, we hope each of our guests reconnects with each other, pauses to enjoy the beauty of nature, and leaves recharged.
