About Elaine Wells

Honest and hard working are words we have heard to describe us. We have shared many adventures in the 38 years we have been married. Although we are both technically 'retired', we are always working on a project. In the fall of 2011, we purchased a run down cottage on Duck Harbor Pond. Over the winter we tore it down and in the spring of 2012 we started building this new log cabin. The design and most of the labor was done by us. We hope you will appreciate our pride in workmanship and love every minute you spend in our cabin.

Elaine Wells purchased this cabin in 2011
Why Elaine Wells chose Honesdale

What makes this cabin unique

Our experience started with the responsiveness of the owners on our last minute decision to rent, and when we arrived we were pleasantly surprise at how beautiful the cabin and surrounding area was. The cabin had everything that we needed and more! It was clean, beautifully decorated (but still kid friendly), and well equipped. The views from the front windows and rocking chairs on the front porch were peaceful. During our stay we spent time canoeing, fishing, walking to the horse farm, and took at short drive to the Upper Delaware River. The fishing was great! We reeled in fish right off of the private dock. The neighbors were welcoming from the time that we pulled in and were there to offer assistance and companionship during the stay. It was truely an unforgetable experience and we look forward to our next stay! If you are debating on where to stay, you should definately give this cabin a try you won't be disappointed.

Owner's Response: When we designed and built our cabin, we hoped guests would really appreciate our efforts. It is wonderful to get such great reviews. We really appreciate that we can share the beautiful lake and our friendly, helpful neighbors with others. A great experience is our goal and we are happy we could provide that. We look forward to the next time this family comes to stay.

Great weekend getaway

We had a great holiday weekend at this cozy, clean and comfortable new log cabin at Duck Harbor Pond. The windows on the first floor offered great views of the frozen lake and the fields/farmland on the opposite edge of the water. The bathrooms and kitchen were clearly new and well taken care of, as were the bedrooms. Jim and Elaine were wonderful throughout the entire rental process, helping with directions and planning ahead of time and even being so kind as to have the fire going in the fireplace ahead of our arrival. Travelers take heed: no cell phone service here (there is a landline provided in the house), which is perfect if you're trying to unplug for the weekend, just make sure you plan ahead for no service. We'd definitely recommend staying here for anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing trip in a lovely waterfront home.

Awesome weekend at Duck Harbor Pond

We had a great weekend in this beautiful, brand new, spotlessly clean cabin. The view of the lake is absolutely gorgeous. Our stay was during February, so we got to step outside and walk on the frozen lake and even visit some ice fisherman a few houses down. We were also lucky enough to have some snow, which definitely added to the scenery. Villa Roma Resort is a 20 minute drive, where we went snow tubing and ice skating - skiing and snowboarding is available there too, and very reasonably priced! Elaine and Jim were incredible!! From the very first inquiry up until the end of our stay, they answered every question, left brochures and menus of nearby restaurants and attractions, kept us up to date on special events taking place in the nearby towns during our weekend, and provided us with very detailed directions. The cabin was spacious, warm, clean, perfectly situated on the lake, and equipped with a full kitchen and comfortable living room. Elaine and Jim were an absolute pleasure to rent from, and they keep the cabin in perfect condition. We loved it, and we would recommend this rental to anyone looking for a great place to get away. We hope to come back and enjoy it in the summer months. Thank you for having us!
Owner's Response: It was our pleasure to share our cabin to such gracious guests. We appreciate the care and respect you had for our property and are so happy you had a wonderful time. We look forward to seeing you again.

We had a great time at this beautiful log cabin at Duck Harbor Lake.
The views of the lake are amazing and we really enjoyed the warm feel
of the house especially the gas firelplace which warmed us on a few very cold nights.
The kitchen is great and we loved that the master br was on the main floor.
The owners of the house are terrriffic people and did everything they could do make sure
our stay was most comfortable.
