Start your morning with a fresh cup of coffee while watching the sunrise over the lake. Less than 1 hour from NYC, enjoy your staycation in this updated cottage in a peaceful lake community. Relax on the patio while enjoying the tranquility of nature and creating wonderful memories. Less than 5 minute drive to swimming, watersports, boating, farms, wineries, and lots of great restaurants & bars.

The cottage presents a bright & airy feel. There are 2 bedrooms. The master bedroom sleeps 2 with a king bed and a Smart TV. The second bedroom, sleeps 1-2, with a twin trundle bed that turns into a king. If you are in need of a crib or highchair, please let me know and I will have it setup upon arrival.
The living room has a sofa that turns into a king size bed with a 50" Smart TV. We offer Netflix to all our guests, feel free to log into your own accounts for other streaming services. The kitchen is fully stocked with kitchen tools & essentials. As a chef myself, I wanted to make sure one has the tools to make anything they want to. If there is something specific you are looking for please ask me to confirm.
We are located within minutes of lake activities for you to enjoy. There is a marina across the street where you can rent a boat or launch your own. We are 5 minutes away from Lee's Marina, another park where you can launch your boat for a daily fee. The best place to swim is at Mt Arlington Beach or Hopatcong State Park. Please check out my guidebook for more marina & swimming locations in the area.
There is no street parking. We have 2 parking spaces with a 2 car max.

Peaceful lake community with many activities to enjoy around the lake. The cottage is located on a very private block, so we ask you respect our neighbors. We have a no party policy and quiet hours after 10PM.
We are across the street from a marina, where you can rent a boat for the day. Have your own boat? No worries! You can launch from the marina (for a few). In less than 5 minutes you will be near great dining, farms & wineries, watersports, mini golf, and more!
It is best if you have a car to get around town. However, the nearest NJ Transit station is 7 minutes away by car. Trains come directly from NY & Newark Penn Stations. You can use Uber & Lyft to get around if you do not have a car, but best to schedule/order a ride ~15-20 minutes ahead of time as they can take a while since we are in a very mountainous area.
San Bar Cottage is a small piece of serenity and peace by the largest lake in NJ. The lake is my happy place and I am delighted to share all the beauty this area has to offer with you.
