The Magnificent Lakefront Airbnb in New Jersey That Is Perfect for a Spring Retreat

When spring rolls around in New Jersey, trees bud, returning migratory birds add to the chorus of songs, and the state's natural areas see blankets of blooming wildflowers. Heck, even in more suburban areas you can probably see nature in the full swing of spring renewal. For me, there's no better time to get away from it all and reflect on the rustic beauty that hints at the reason we call ourselves the Garden State—but is there any place in the state where it can be enjoyed in a serene and peaceful setting? After all, we are the most densely populated state in the country. Fortunately the answer to the question is a definitive "yes," and you'll find it in the northern part of the state. I would go so far as to say that it doesn't get much more peaceful than Blairstown, a small community tucked away near the Pennsylvania border. That's where you'll find this private lakeside cottage on a small farm. We think it's one of the best spring Airbnbs in New Jersey, and I think it's the perfect place to book a springtime getaway.

This Blairstown lakeside retreat may just be the most beautiful Airbnb in New Jersey.

This gorgeous little cottage is located on a small lake near the Delaware Water Gap. Set against a pastoral landscape, this property can accommodate as many as five guests in its two bedrooms and two bathrooms.

The home itself is just steps away from a beautiful five-acre, spring-fed lake that's perfect for recreation on the water—and it's all yours when you stay here.

You'll find plenty of living space in the cottage, including a living room and bedrooms with views of the lake. The main bedroom is located on the main floor, and another bedroom with a queen-sized bed is on the lower level. A single bed in the main floor living area allows for a fifth guest. A well-appointed kitchen has all you'll need for meal preparation during your stay.

You can start every morning with a view of the lake from the cottage's spacious deck. I can't think of a more ideal spot for breakfast.

You'll have the entire house to yourself, with one exception—the farm raises chickens and other fowl, so you may run into some of your feathered neighbors during your stay.

The entire area is surrounded by natural beauty, so this Airbnb is the perfect place to set up base camp for exploring the Delaware Water Gap.
