This cabin is in a beautiful location, within an easy walk to town. The view of autumn leaves on the mountains was spectacular. The outdoor deck was a great place to socially distance with friends and family. The cabin is well stocked and, although an older property, it was very comfortable.

Scenic view and plenty of wildlife

Gorgeous property and well kept home. Perfect size for a family of five. Easy drive to Sweet Shop and the beach, our kids favorites!

Charming older home with a large yard and great view. Short drive to Eagles Mere. House is a little dated, but we would happily stay here again.

We found this cabin in Eagles Mere was one of the most beautiful places we have vacationed so far. The cabin is set beautifully between the mountains - with an extraordinary view. The cabin is rustic, well-maintained and very spacious (at least for a family of four). The village and the ice-cream parlor are within walking distance. The lake is beautiful, and the Land's end state park is only 15 minutes away. We spent a wonderful vacation there and are very happy to have discovered another beautiful part of Pennsylvania. We would certainly love to come back next year!

Beautiful getaway!

I stayed in the property from May 23 through June 28. It was too soon in the sense that there are very few people in Eagles Mere that early in the summer and almost nobody during the week. It was too soon in the sense that I should have read it later, had the property been available, because people were just beginning to come to Eagles Mere for the month of July. The cabin has everything necessary, with the exception of television and air-conditioning. The Wi-Fi is. Really hit or miss, but I have learned that if you turn it off and on with a 10 seconds or more interval, generally it starts working again. The owner was generous with his time by email helping me become acclimated and to straighten out any problems I was having with the property. A good rental property and a good owner.

Very nice stay no problems.

Thanks to our hosts for a lovely stay -- the house is even better than the pictures depict and nicely located in that it is about a 20 minute walk through the neighborhood down to the lake and the ice cream shop. Eagles Mere is a lovely small town and well-situated close to two Pennsylvania treasures: Worlds' End State Park and Ricketts Glen -- there are plenty of hikes in both parks to keep you busy for a week.

The mountain air and views of Windswept and Eagles Mere are amazing. The home has everything you need. It's a great get away from life's hectic pace.

The house is nicely situated to give you great views of the Endless Mountains but still be a short walk to the Sweet Shop, Eagles Mere Imn for dinner and the lake. Also recommend the Barn Tabern for good bar food, just a short drive away. We’ve stayed here twice now and always happy with the state of the house when we arrive and the really clear, useful instructions from Bayard before we arrive. Our daughters and dog are all fans! We’ll be back next year!

We enjoyed our time at Windswept. My husband and I celebrated our anniversary and we're looking for a primitive log cabin in a good location close to state parks and forests. This did not disappoint. It was neat and clean and we felt all our needs were adequately met. The owners are kind and willing to answer any questions we had. We brought all necessary items for a primitive weekend away but found the cabin was well stocked with what we needed. Hot water was ample and we never had a problem with heating. There is no cable and there is no a/c but we came during the fall foliage season and it was nice and cool and breezy. We enjoyed watching the wildlife from the hammock on the gazebo. The view was breathtaking and we saw many colors across the valley. A word about wildlife. It's definitely close. We had a 400lb black bear on the property our first evening here. The deer love to feed in the grass and there are majestic birds everywhere. We enjoyed this aspect. Don't miss High Knob Overlook for sunset watching and try out the Crestmont inn for dinner but I'd recommend only Friday or Saturday evening as they have rather a slower skeleton staff on the weekdays. If you need to catch a football game or "work remote" this really isn't the place. Come prepared to completely unplug from the world. Thank you Bayard and Judith for a wonderful weekend.

Beautiful spot on the outskirts of Eagle Mere with great views of the mountains from all sides. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed. We're planning to come again.

My daughter was married here on a gorgeous summer day with views that stretched forever over the PA mountains. We held the ceremony in a tent on the large lawn. The guitarist played from the gazebo. The cozy home was used by the bridesmaids the night before and by the bride and groom on their wedding night. The porches were great for entertaining. The owner, Bayard, was beyond wonderful in accommodating us....we could not have asked for a nicer experience. We built a team of people from Eagles Mere or nearby to help us, and along with Bayard everyone was so kind and helpful. The decor of the house is absolutely perfect and in keeping with a summer cabin. We found everything we needed and knew that if we needed anything else, the owner was very reachable via phone or text. A notebook answered all of our questions, both for our arrival and departure. This home and property will always be dear to us as the place our daughter and her husband joyously celebrated a joining of hearts.

We had a wonderful weekend. Our daughters and our (well-behaved) Border Collie loved the big lawn to play on, we met some really nice people in town, became loyal customers of The Sweet Shop (three visits in three days,...), swam in the lake every day (from the boat launch less than a mile about due North from the house) and did some awesome hiking. Ricket's Glen and "Waterfall Wonderland" from midatlantichikes_com (we finished 8.2 miles in 7h'30m with an 8- and 10-yr old and of course the dog,... technical hike but not as hard as the description on the linked site made it sound). The gazebo was a hit with everyone, the view to the east of the Endless Mountains is magnificent, but I preferred watching the sunset from the back porch. Everything in the house was great. The house was in very good shape and had board games and books (my 11-year old daughter was fascinated with Botany of Desire) to keep us entertained, and a DVD / video set up that actually made my family think I was smart after so many failures at other rental homes :). Being a one-story bungalow with no insulated attic, it gets hot during the day. Plan for it and open the windows on the East side on your way out, when you get home at the end of the day eat dinner outside, and by bedtime.... it's perfect. Somehow our ancestors survived without A/C,... you can too and enjoy this amazing place. Thank you -- if we come back to Eagle's Mere we'll be sure to rent again.

Had a wonderful time in Eagles Mere at this inviting and cozy cabin. We are already thinking of a time we can come visit again. Cabin is an ideal location with stunning views, would highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful, clean, and well appointed place to stay.

We had a wonderful time in Eagles Mere. My Dad, Uncle, and I went to the Forksville Bowhunters Festival and the cabin served as a short ride to this wonderful event. Clean, quiet, and relaxing with a wonderful responsive owner.

Comfortable cottage that is close to all of the attractions of Sullivan County. Provides a good base for either a relaxing or active vacation. Well supported by our hosts, we would gladly return to Windswept!

Windswept Cottage was indeed all that (and more than) we expected. From detailed instructions about arrival and departure protocol to spot on suggestions for our particular recreational activity interests (air/car musuems/bicycle routes/sunsets), we felt very well supported and encouraged to enjoy Windswept's features and amenities. The cottage is a bit removed from downtown (village, really) of Eagles Mere, but we wanted to be a bit removed from the center of things. If you need a quite, peaceful respite, we sincerely recommend this home.

Windswept Cottage was a nice getaway for my wife and me. Most importantly the bed was very comfortable, so after a good night sleep, we could could enjoy our days hiking around Eagles Mere Lake, the wooded neighborhood, and the State Parks nearby. The cottage inside has a nice homey feel, plenty of deck and porch space, and the gazebo is a pleasant spot to read or enjoy watching the birds darting around the grassy meadow. There are a lot of yellow finches, blue birds, and the occasional deer passing through.

For our family, Windswept Cottage has always been a place of rare peace, of long candlelit dinners on the screened porch watching sunsets put the world to bed, followed by early morning reading in the gazebo to the accompaniment of bird calls, and the daily pleasures of rambling walks along the lake and through the charming town of Eagle's Mere. A wonderful retreat!
