Entire Private Lakefront Cottage Home on Lake Hopatcong + Kayaks and Pedalboat

Welcome to Hillside Lake Retreat located on a private dead end street on north side of Lake Hopatcong, just a few steps from Prospect Point Preserve. The home provides space for both indoor and outdoor gatherings, provides access to a private boat launch and dock slip, parking for up to 8 cars, and all of the updated features to delight.

With elevated eastern facing views that provide the most amazing sunrises of Lake Hopatcong, Hillside Lake Retreat sits majestically hillside overlooking the lake. The views and ambiance of this home are spectacular - lake views from the living room, kitchen, and the master suite. This home has just been renovated while keeping its Lakehouse charm, it features brand new appliances, fully stocked kitchen, sparkling clean bathroom, and can accommodate up to 10.

Hillside Lake Retreat has everything your would want to enhance your getaway, whether you are looking for fun on the water in the summer, a special occasion with friends or a romantic getaway and its perfect for all seasons of the year. The home offers an open concept layout that provides views of the lake from almost anywhere you stand. The dining room furnishes a large dining table that can sit up to 8 and a mini foosball table, which leads into the kitchen that is equipped with new stainless steel appliances and a large island for those quick meals before leaving for a fun packed day. The living room furnishes 2 large comfortable sofas to watch the massive 65" LED cable TV. The Master bedroom also provides stunning views of the lake and furnishes a brand new pillow top mattress that sleeps like a dream. The 2nd bedroom located upstairs furnishes a full size memory foam mattress on a mechanical bed that reclines, a another full size bed, a recliner and also provides Roku TV, while the third bedroom (Loft space used as a bedroom), also upstairs, furnishes another full size mattress and 2 twin trundle beds. All the rooms in this house are equipped with air conditioners to keep you cool throughout the summer, and for the colder months, the electric baseboard heating will warm up any room in under 10 minutes.
As you head outside on the enormous 40 x 15 ft deck that overlooks the lake, you will see modern furniture, a huge 6 burner Char-Broil grill, table top fireplace, and TV Mount to enjoy outdoor movie night.

At the bottom of the hill, you will find a shed full of water toys such as inflatable floats, noodles and lounge chairs There is a private launch to launch your small boat, jetski, kayak, or canoe, and also a dock slip for your use to park the watercraft you may have rented from the multiple surrounding marinas.
There are many miles of outstanding hiking and off road vehicle trails that can be reached just steps from the property at the Prospect point preserve.

There's also 2 full size tennis courts as well as 2 full size basketball courts and a children's playground right down the street. There are many great places to eat on the water such as Lola's, Chapala's, The Stonewater, Pavinci's, The Windlass or Alice's, or on land such as the famous Jefferson Diner, Pub 199 or one of our favorites, Little Nicki's which is also, right down the street at Prospect point playground.

A little about the lake itself: Lake Hopatcong is only an hour from NYC yet it feels like a different world out here once you are immersed in "lake time". The lake has a long and rich history, discovered by the Lenape Indians 14,000 years ago, this was the chic destination for New York actors and socialites at the turn of the century and the roaring 20s. Today, the Lake is is knows as the largest in New Jersey with 43 miles of shoreline and is very popular for fishing, water sports and restaurant-hopping via boat. There are numerous restaurants and bars in the vicinity and also all around the lake featuring lake views and the ability to "boat hop".

The immediate surrounding area has more activities that I can possibly list here such as multiple Mini golf destinations, more hiking trails, shopping etc... You can find more information on by visiting Lakehopatcong dot com, or by simply googling "Things to do at Lake Hopatcong".

A very special place
The house sits high up on the hill with a big deck overlooking the lake. Viewing the lake with coffee in AM, watching the lake activity during day and seeing the moon and lights across the water with a glass of wine at night was lovely. The lake in front of the house is a no wake zone which affords a calmer setting which was really nice. The owner lives in the area and was quickly attentive to answer questions and resolve any small issues that came up. Highly recommend this home.

Lovely and relaxing!!
We had a lovely weekend at Lake Hopatcong! Being able to dock our boat made all the difference! My kids rented a boat from Bridge Marina so the they could more friends visit for an afternoon. The hill down to the dick was a little challenging for me the well worth the effort. Sitting on the deck a glass of wine was perfect! And our last night there were fireworks!!!

Very homey and comfortable. I could live on the back deck-great views of lake! The property was extremely clean and comfortable. We're already planning our next stay. Dock was useful since family had boat. Didn't use kayaks or peddle boat but they were available. Walking trails nearby were lovely. Tino was helpful in answering questionsand resolving minor issues.

Fantastic getaway.
I rented this property for my parents and my family for their anniversary. It was absolutely lovely. It was isolated enough to enjoy our family time but close enough that we had access to the creature comforts. I definitely want to come back and stay again soon.

Good location and view
My friend and I stayed in Mid October and were treated to a great foliage show. We enjoyed the view of the lake and walking in the adjacent preserve. Saw fox, deer, an eagle, swans, ducks, pileated woodpecker, and a heron. Nearby restaurants were a plus. Dock on property is down a very steep driveway, so you may learn, like I did, that you're really out of shape!

The property was an ideal cabin on the lake. The views were great and the back deck was total relaxation. My wife and I are always suspicious about the cleanliness of a VRBO but this place was CLEAN. We have family in the area we fully expect to rent here again.

Relaxing!
Clean home, well-stocked kitchen, great view, quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed our stay and took advantage of the variety of activities to do in the area: hiking, nature walks, swimming, boat rides, antiquing, thrifting and more! There are a variety of great restaurants to choose from and plenty of stores for supplies. We tried the paddle boat, but could only get it to go in circles! The only negatives were there was no hot tub, which is listed as an amenity, and the check-in information was incomplete. The owner responded to all of our questions and addressed any concerns. I would definitely recommend this home to friends and family!

Family visit
I was in the area for unexpected family event. I booked the house only days before and Santino was most accommodating. I've rented many VRBO's, but this rental is like no other. This house has everything that I needed for my family of 6 to be comfortable. Mostly I was so impressed on the cleanliness. Secondly the beds, linens were very comfortable and hotel quality. The kitchen is very well stocked with all the home conveniences and then some. The neighborhood is very quiet and views from the back deck are tranquil and perfect for enjoying a morning cup of coffee. My family enjoyed your home and thank you for being an attentive host. I will be keeping you in mind in the event I will need a rental in the future. Thank you Santino!
