Dingmans Ferry House | Magical Cottage at the Governor's Retreat on Dingmans Creek

1 Bedroom House in Dingmans Ferry

The cottage is nestled among high hemlocks facing Dingmans Creek, which can be heard gurgling night and day. After duty as a stable and carriage house the barn was converted to living quarters sometime in the 1950s. It was renovated in 2001 and won Better Homes and Garden’s Home Improvement Contest and was featured as their cover story in October 2002. The guidelines for the renovation were to “preserve the irreplaceable.”
The lower level has two fireplaces. The one in the living room is wood burning and the one in the kitchen is gas. The walls and floors are primarily stone and the living room's vaulted ceiling is 30 feet high. The six skylights allow guests to enjoy sun, rain and snow.
The loft has a magical bedroom with windows that overlook the creek. The cottage was featured in Better Homes and Gardens, Good Housekeeping and Wood Beautiful. It was also used as a location for Hallmark Cards 2005 Christmas card collection.

Summary: Due to circumstances beyond our control, we had last minute scramble to find a place for 3 adults and our dogs. Lee was responsive and allowed us to rent it on the day of check-in. Thank you for saving our Thanksgiving. The Governor's Retreat was perfect. Clean, cozy, quiet and relaxing are the terms that come to mind. We can not wait to visit it again.

Summary: This place is not done justice by the pictures and description. If you imagined a getaway place this is what you’d have dreamed up. A stream literally right out the front door, stone and wood, fireplace… fantastic!. The entire property would be a fantastic place to gather as family for an event or just to get away from the world for a bit

Summary: This is a special place, uniquely situated feet from the Dingmans Creek. The cabin is well appointed and cared after, the pride of owners Lee and Sonda, a peaceful retreat from the busy world outside Dingmans Ferry. We thoroughly enjoyed the cabin and the company of the owners, enjoying a beautiful early fall weekend. Our only regret is being too early for the peak foliage but we enjoyed being outdoors for meals and fires for a spectacular night. We also enjoyed Lee's retelling of the history of the place and the cabin and it was special to know the history of Gov Sproul, a name familiar to all from Delco. The Govenor's Retreat is a truly special place and one we'd like to revisit with our dog, Sasha.

Summary: Cottage was amazing. Scenery was beautiful. The pictures and descriptions online are very accurate, but you cannot fully appreciate it until you’re there in person. The property host (Lee) was very friendly and accommodating. We don’t often say this about weekend getaways, but we will be back here again.

Summary: We had a lovely time at Lee and Sonda's cottage on their beautiful property. They live on site and welcomed us with a tour and a little history of the Governor's Retreat. The stream running through is lovely and the structure is intricately built. It was the perfect spot for our anniversary weekend.

Summary: My husband, dog and I spent memorial day weekend at the Governor's retreat and we cannot wait to return. The photos do not do this place justice. It truly is magical. We enjoyed hiking nearby, there were several really great restaurants and unique shops, and best of all, we were ably to truly relax. Close to everything, but we felt like we were worlds away. Lee and Sonda were wonderful hosts.

Summary: The Governor's Cottage in Dingman's Ferry was a perfect weekend getaway. The cottage was warm and welcoming with a beautiful creek right outside. The owners, Sonda and Lee, provided great tips and suggestions about the surrounding area. We enjoyed eating out in Milford, hiking with our dogs in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, napping on the hammock outside the cottage and sipping on wine beside the fireplace.
