On-site dining is anchored by Gresham's Chop House, an Italian-American steakhouse known for its hearty meals and friendly vibe.

The motel’s location makes it easy to explore Hawley’s small-town charm as well as prominent parks and recreational areas.

“Clean and comfortable. Walking distance to the lake and the chophouse, and there’s plenty to do, and the view is gorgeous. Very affordable, and the room comes with ac and heat, a microwave, and a fridge. The manager was also helpful and friendly. If you’re coming down for a weekend, this is the perfect place to stay.”
“We had a two night stay 09/09-09/10/22. Our room was very clean and comfortable with fresh towels and face cloths both days. The staff was very friendly and personable, and breakfast at the Paupack Diner was great. We had a lovely view of the lake from our patio chairs. Our stay was short but comfortable and relaxing. It was also quiet at night and if we are up that way again, we will definitely stay there.”
“I like the service the people are great and friendly and the rooms are very clean I have no complaints and the price of the room is great I come hear and I always come back and there's is always a place that I can rest my eyes and rest away for quietness away from home in ny away from my stress at my job”
“Had a very pleasant stay at Gresham's. Great location lake across the street. Comfy beds balcony front and back of room with nice view of lake. Amy was very helpful and sweet. Thanks for a great vacation”
“Gresham’s Lake View Motel is the place my Mom’s family stayed at year after year in the 50s and 60s. The location is awesome, right across from Lake Wally, with their own dock) and next to Chops Restaurant (delicious and a bit upscale for the area) and Wally’s Pizzeria (very unfancy, but also delicious - the Mexican food is good too!). The rooms are absolutely basic - and if you don’t know that in advance, it’s an adjustment. But it sure beats camping (says this non-camper). And the service is wonderful. Amy made us feel at home, helped us in a pinch with our family picnic & bbq, and told us the tales of the resident beavers. Highly recommend!”
“We have been staying at Gresham's for years. It is our go to place when we visit the lake. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Eateries, walking trails, visitor center within walking distance. Great sunsets from balcony.”
