Artistic Coliving Retreat in Scenic Hopatcong Hills with Unique Amenities
Get away from city life at a dream retreat in the country! Located in Hopatcong, New Jersey, 1.5 hours west of New York City, this is one house in a music and art community with two separate entrances. You’ll have a private bedroom and access to all common areas: A sunny, enclosed porch great for music practice, writing, drawing or painting, two eat-in kitchens, two full baths (one bathroom and one kitchen on each floor) and two activity rooms good for doing yoga, socializing with others, watching TV, doing large projects or setting up a photography station. There is high-speed internet and cable TV and off-street parking. Furnishings and equipment are tailored to our Artist-Guests. For instance, musicians can request amps, instruments and music stands, and artists and writers can request appropriate work tables. In the warmer months, the Art Garage, a common area, is available for large projects like sculpture.
The outdoor area includes a front lawn, small outdoor covered porch, and 2 patios equipped with outdoor furniture. A barbecue grill is also available. In autumn, the changing leaves are spectacular. If you like to walk, bring comfortable walking shoes because it is very hilly and you can get quite a workout. There is a natural back yard area which is great if you are bringing a dog.
Amenities include off-street parking, high-speed internet, a thermostat in every room, hot water on demand, air conditioning and propane stoves.

Hopatcong Hills
We are located in the Borough of Hopatcong, near Lake Hopatcong. Our area is quite hilly so you need a car to get around if you aren't fit enough to walk to the commercial center. There you will find several restaurants, 2 with live entertainment on weekends, parks, several convenience grocery stores, pizzerias, a post office, coffee shop, pharmacy and liquor store. A major shopping area with big box stores and chain restaurants is 12 minutes away, and we are 7 minutes from the train and bus to New York City. There are many opportunities to do outdoor activities like fishing, boating and swimming at the State Park in summer, and hiking all year round.
