About this house rental
Welcome to The Lakeview Retreat!
A high-end stay in Towamensing Trails! Over 3200 sq ft of living space on 3 levels, open floorplan, central air, vaulted living room, propane fireplace, 9 beds - 4 huge bedrooms - each with its own Smart TV, game room – with wet bar + pool table + Pacman arcade + card table + lots of board games, indoor/outdoor dining, humongous yard for outdoor fun! Entertaining areas both inside and out. Perfectly located - can’t get any closer to the pool, lake and community center.
PLEASE NOTE: According to community rules, guests checking out on Sunday morning will not have access to the amenities on the morning of their check-out. This only applies to Sunday check-outs and usage of amenities on that Sunday morning.
Beautifully furnished interior – with exquisite live edge sycamore dining table, leather seating, comfy new beds with upscale hotel quality linens, fluffy bath towels, fully equipped kitchen - Cuisinart cookware, slow-cooker, waffle maker, blender, coffee maker, etc.
Enter through the front door and you are immediately welcomed by a spacious open concept floor plan with vaulted ceilings and styled with a modern, cozy, and chic decor.
Our guests love our fully equipped kitchen - making it easy for you to make your favorite home-cooked meals that you can enjoy at the custom live edge sycamore table (it’s a work of art and arguably our favorite piece in the house).
The dining room opens up directly to the panoramic outdoor deck with beautiful views of the lake. The deck is equipped for the ultimate grilling party! There is a large grill, outdoor table seating for the whole crew. An additional seating area is perfect for cozying up for a late-night glass of wine and chit-chat about all the day's activities.
This spacious home includes 4 LARGE bedrooms – 9 beds - and 2.5 bathrooms. It’s perfectly suited for a multi-family stay with bedrooms on the main and upper levels. On the main level, you will find 2 bedrooms: Bedroom #1 is the primary suite with king bed, luxurious hotel quality bedding, fluffy bath towels and views of the sunrise right from your bed. Bedroom #2 offers 2 comfy single beds. On the upper level are 2 additional spacious bedrooms: Bedroom #3 has 2 queen beds and Bedroom #4 - our largest and most spacious bedroom - has 2 queen beds plus a single with pull out trundle and a sitting area. All of our beds include hotel-quality microfiber linens and we never recycle duvet covers so they are ALWAYS fresh for every guest! All bedrooms are equipped with a smart TV and there is ample closet space, which is great for longer stays.
If you need a space to check email or work (we hope you don’t have to do too much of that!!), we have a beautiful sycamore desk – cut from the same sycamore tree as the dining table.
The lower level of the home is the place to bring out your inner child with a mix of adulting! There is a lounge area perfect for movie nights, a wet bar, pool table, card table, and a plethora of board games to choose from. Oh yeah, don’t forget to engage in some family-friendly competition to see who can get the high score in the classic arcade game Ms Pacman! You even have lake views from the game room!
Exit the game room, through two sets of double sliding glass doors and enjoy a covered patio that provides a feeling of an indoor/outdoor living space. It is also the perfect spot to enjoy a summer rain storm. On sunny days this space provides shade and acts as the ultimate transition to the HUGE yard which is unique from other homes in the community. The yard has a horseshoe pit and plenty of room to play corn hole and badminton or volleyball. Families have been seen here enjoying a game of whiffle ball, tossing a frisbee, and enjoying a game of catch.
And may we suggest that you bring some apples and carrots – deer visit all the time! The deer enjoy meeting our guests and look forward to getting special treats!

We had a great stay, four couples and four children under 2. Fun and family friendly area, comfortable house with a great yard and hang out spots. The managing company for the property made it seamless and provided all information we needed.

Well stocked, super organized, Spacious house. Absolutely no complaints at all- the owners thought of everything!!

Stayed over in August. Upon arrival the home was very clean and in order. We settled in very easy. Plenty of rooms and beds for everyone to be happy. We enjoyed the beach and pool. Everything was beautiful and peaceful. We fell in love with it all. We now call it our fave vacation place.
4.9
This house was fantastic. I second all the other reviews, extremely clean and nicely decorated. Even though it rained our entire weekend our group of 11 had a great time here as the space is huge with lots of rooms. Kids loved the game room, multiple tvs,and the grownups loved the charming open plan, with lovely details. Beautiful wood pieces everywhere. Everything was labeled making finding things much easier. We will definitely return and whole heartedly wold recommend this to you for a great place to spend quality time with people.
4.9
Overall it was nice. The beds were horrible, no give and hard. The lake was closed to swim for days due to bacteria. The doorknob was broken and we couldn't get the downstairs door to lock and open with the combination. So I don't know if I would recommend this house for people looking for a lot to do.
4.9
We stayed at this beautiful home for a week with 11 people including 3 toddlers. It is SO clean and that is very important to us, especially with little ones. Honestly, it was the most well-appointed vacation home I have ever rented. There are plenty of kitchen supplies, outdoor games, board games and puzzles. Every room is stocked with whatever you may need including bath towels and soap. It is clear that the owner takes pride in maintaining the home and is thoughtful about having the home well prepared to rent out. The home is nicely decorated and the rooms are large. Very comfortable beds! We used the great deck everyday for meals. The location is perfect and walkable to the lake and clubhouse with the pool. We were able to bring kayaks and launch them near the beach and again near the basketball courts. We thoroughly enjoyed our week and would highly recommend it, especially to large families with a big age range.
4.9
Our family truly enjoyed our vacation week (7 nights) and the house was wonderful.
First, and most important to us, the house was very clean! I mean behind-the-doors-and- in-the-corners clean. It was exceptional PERIOD. We had several rain days, but it didn't matter. The house had so much to keep us busy. The kids and grand kids loved the basement and all the games. My grandson shot his first game of pool with his father. We all played Ms. Pacman with a family competition for the highest score. It was a BIG hit. The home is beautifully decorated. The dining room table is unique, both in its beauty and size. Having room for everyone at family meals without disturbing the large puzzle being assembled at one end was amazing. Our son and grandson enjoyed some great fishing and the lake is beautiful. We didn't get to enjoy the pool...to cool and rainy, but we had so much more to keep us busy.
This house is very deserving of our 5 star rating. We will definitely look to rent it again for family outings. Thanks for the wonderful experience.
4.9
This property was excellent all around. Beautiful home, clean, great location, great for young kids. The lower level has a beautiful bar, pool table, Ms. Pacman arcade game, and numerous board games for kids. We will definitely be back again.
4.9
The house was better than I expected, and all the space made it great for when smaller groups wanted to do their own thing without everyone being crammed into one space. I would definitely rent it again!
4.9
The property was well maintained, organized and clean. Access to the property was explained clearly and easy from start to finish. We would absolutely rent this property again.

Wonderful experience, would recommend.

the pictures are exactly how the property was...
4.9
Everything was exactly as described in the listing. The house was clean and had everything we needed and more. Plenty of propane for grill and fire pit. Lots of yard games and board games for the kids and adults. But Ms Pac-Man and the pool table were the biggest hit.
We picked this house, because it was close enough to the lake without being on the lake and we didn’t have to worry about the toddlers going into the lake or falling in the lake.
We had kids ages 3,4,5,6,7,13 and 22. Little ones loved it, the older 2 couldn’t believe how nice and clean it was. But they warned us they would not swim in the lake. 10 mins after fishing they were swimming in the lake with the rest of the kids and wouldn’t get them out.
The deck was great, it was shaded for dinner time, which was perfect for after the beach. The inside dining are was perfect for breakfast. It fit all 11 of us including a high chair (that was in the house)
Beach and lake were clean and well maintained. It was a short walk (about 5 mins with little kids) to the beach. There is restaurant and bar close to the pool. We went up just for ice cream. Very reasonable.
Paddle boats and kayaks were $20/hr. And the rental area was just to the left of the beach.
Dollar store, pizza, and beer were just minutes away.
And lots of deer wandering the front and back yards. The last night we had at least 10 in the backyard.
Definitely would recommend this place.
4.9
Perfect place for a larger family! Tons of space and fully stocked! The beach, playground, and pool were so close! Very clean.
4.9
We came to the Poconos to be together as a family for a few days. The home was lovely and welcoming and very clean. Location close to lake, pool, and park was great and enjoyed meals and quality time out on the deck! Would definitely book again. Only hiccup was given the wrong entry code upon check in and had to wait some time for a correct one to be sent over.
