About this house rental

Private Pocono area home with lake access. Please note, this property is located about 20 minutes west of Lake Harmony, on a larger, private 130 acre lake named 'Lake of the Four Seasons' which is in the community called 'Beech Mountain Lake'. It is an electric motor only lake. Easy access off I-80 / Mt. Top exit (just east of the I-81/I-80 junction). Enjoy a beautiful 160 acre lake on the western edge of the Pocono region. Escape the commercialism and crowds of other Pocono area lakes. Beech Mountain Lake is a private gated community with it's own freshwater lake.

Kalahari Indoor Waterpark and Great Wolf Lodge are both about a 45 minute drive to the east, and Knoebel's Amusement Park and Campground is about an hour drive to the west. Miniature golf, driving range, and 18 hole golf course (Edgewater Golf Course) are 2 minutes from the entrance of the community. Sand Springs is another well known course which is about 5 miles from Beech Mountain Lakes.

Mohegan Sun Casino is 30 minutes north on I-81.

From May through October, enjoy kayaking, canoeing, and paddleboarding. We have 3 canoes, 3 kayaks and a stand-up paddleboard (the paddleboard is only to be used by adults or supervised children) to use. The lake, once used by the PA Fish Commission for spawning fish, is an electric only-motor lake. Excellent fishing for Large-mouth Bass, Perch, Pickerel, and even trout (the lake is stocked with Golden, Rainbow and Brown trout in spring for kids fishing derby). Enjoy spectacular mountain views and clear blue skies while boating on the lake. Lake is also excellent for swimming. Our community private beach is great for kids to swim and play in the sand, and it is free to use for all guests! Whitewater rafting and biking on the 'Rails to Trails' at Lehigh Gorge State Park (20 minutes away).

Enjoy hiking trails and cross country ski trails at Nescopeck State Park, just a couple miles down the road.

The home has a quiet path down to the lake's edge where you can launch canoes and kayaks, or just sit and enjoy the quiet and the scenery. Property borders a forested green area on the right, giving exceptional privacy. Virtually all the activities you can imagine that you could do outdoors in Pennsylvania, you can do here. Restaurants, shopping, attractions are minutes away.

The house has a beautiful open 2-story living room, with lots of windows for natural light, that also opens to an inviting screened-in porch which is perfect for morning reflections (and coffee!) and evening conversations. There is also a gas grill outside of the screened-in porch.

The upper level has a bedroom with a queen bed and a twin bed with a pull-out trundle bed. This bedroom has it's own bathroom. The loft has a queen-sized futon which quickly converts to a bed.

The main level has two bedrooms, each with a queen bed. There is a full bathroom on this level.

The lower level has a bedroom with two sets of bunk beds, perfect for the kids (top bunks suitable ONLY for small children). There is also a full bathroom on this level as well.

Booked a golf trip for a group of 12. We all enjoyed staying here. My only regret was not booking an extra day to experience some of the amenities and get on the lake.

We chose to stay at this property because we have family that we were visiting that lives nearby, and I’m so thankful we did. This property was perfect for our family - it had just the right amount of space. There were so many games and activities in the basement that kept us all (especially my five year old son) entertained. Our favorite part of this house was the screened in porch, which was where we spent the bulk of our time soaking up lake views, even when it was rainy. The property was also very clean and our host Bill was very responsive throughout the process. We are already planning on coming back - next time for a longer stay 😊

I stayed with my three children and family at this lakeside dream home this August and found the home cozy, clean, and exactly as expected. There’s ample room around the dinner table for larger gatherings, and the kayaks and life preservers allowed for the perfect outings along the pristine, peaceful lake community. 4.5 stars if considering that there is no air conditioning and we stayed at a hotter time.

We spent the weekend in this well-appointed home in a great location. Lovely view of the lake from the screened in deck, and a short stroll to the water’s edge. The host was extremely communicative and helpful and we had everything we needed for a perfect stay.

Stayed at this property for a weekend with friends. Property is exactly as described, it’s a beautiful clean, spacious home with all things you would enjoy in your own home. There’s really no need to leave which we did not. The communication prior to arrival was quick and responsive. A couple of friends said they wanted to look into booking for their own families, we enjoyed it that much. Would definitely book again!

We had a wonderful weekend at the Downs house on the lake! Bill was always avail for questions and provided us with up to date info. It snowed so we had a beautiful backdrop for the lake house and the kids loved the sledding hill. The house was beautiful, so warm and inviting and had everything you needed to enjoy your stay, We would love to come back in the summer!
