About this house rental
Welcome to our stunning lake house retreat nestled in the serene forests of the Poconos. With its picturesque lakefront location, this is the perfect getaway for those seeking tranquility, natural beauty, and endless entertainment.
Step inside our spacious 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom home and be greeted by a blend of modern comfort and rustic charm.
Outside, you'll find a hot tub with a breathtaking view of the lake. Relax and unwind in the warm bubbles while taking in the serene surroundings. The hot tub is thoughtfully covered, providing shade on sunny days and protection from the rain, allowing you to enjoy it year-round.
Indulge in outdoor bliss on the deck as you soak up the scenic beauty, or lounge in one of our hammocks. The fire pit invites you to gather around its crackling flames, sharing stories and roasting marshmallows under the starry night sky.
The sandy beach offers a tranquil oasis where you can unwind, sunbathe, or take a leisurely swim. The glistening waters of the lake provide opportunities for various water activities, fishing and simply enjoying the breathtaking views.
Please refrain from walking outside the backyard without proper clothing.
Adjacent to the lake, you'll find a playground that adds an extra dose of excitement for families with children. The sound of laughter and the sight of kids having a blast on swings, slides, and climbing structures further enhance the family-friendly atmosphere.
For sports enthusiasts, just steps away from the lake, you'll find a baseball or kickball diamond, a volleyball court, and a basketball court. Challenge your friends and family to friendly matches and embrace the spirit of friendly competition in these dedicated sporting areas.
Explore the tranquil lake and hiking trails that lead to two other lakes at your leisure, reveling in the peacefulness and beauty that surrounds you.
Our thoughtfully curated interior offers comfortable beds, a well-stocked kitchen, a large dining table, a cozy fireplace, and a pool table for endless entertainment. Stay connected with high-speed WiFi, indulge in two large-screen TVs, and embrace the fun with an Xbox. Create lasting memories in a space where relaxation, style, and modern amenities seamlessly intertwine.
Our pet-friendly policy ensures that no family member is left behind, allowing your beloved furry friends to join in on the vacation experience.

Spent a long weekend here for my best friend's bachelorette with 11 girls. This house was perfect for our group! AC worked well, beds were comfy, bathrooms were nice, and we loved the hot tub and fire pit. You cannot beat the distance to the lake, which had a nice beach, chairs, and the floating docks were fun! Igor was always available for any help we needed. The only thing I suggest is bringing your own beach towels as there aren't any provided, but the double washer/dryer combo was helpful with cleaning our towels often!

We enjoyed our stay, the property is especially good for kids as there is a small playground and the sandy beach and lake were enjoyed by all. The house does have a cottage-y feel and is not totally updated but we were comfortable and it was very clean.

We had a great family trip at the lake. Perfect location. The beach access and park were great and only steps away from the house. There was something to do for everyone. Owners are very communicative, and able to answer quickly with any concerns. Definitely recommend this property!

We had an incredible experience during our stay! The cabin provided a perfect retreat for my friends and I, offering a stunning scenic view that added to our overall enjoyment. It was truly a haven of relaxation. The cabin came impressively equipped with a wide range of amenities, including a variety of entertainment options, as well as a fully stocked kitchen, well-appointed bathrooms, and an array of outdoor supplies. We were thoroughly impressed and are eagerly looking forward to returning in the future!

Great location and property! The host was incredibly responsive and attentive as we prepared for our visit. The outside is TOP NOTCH! Our young children loved having a large open space to run around, a park in eyesight from the house as well as beach access! The inside was larger than it appeared in pictures and easily accommodated our family. Great location to ski resorts and an Indoor Water park for a wonderful winter weekend! Highly recommend it.

The stay was amazing, our family stayed with 4 other teens and we had a blast. Getting to the hot tub was cold in the winter, so bring stuff to go downstairs and outside. The new shower was amazing, the shower in the masterbed room is small. We brought an extra TV there is only a tv in the living room and master bedroom. Tons of toilet paper, but could use a few more towels with the hot tub. The dinner room table was big enough for everyone to sit and enjoy. The pool table was on the smaller side which is fine to fit the room but difficult to play.

We loved the house and the lake view and steps away from sandy swimming beach.
We had been told there would be two kayaks, but later told there would be no boating. That was a disappointment and they gave us back a very small $$$ refund. But in the end we still were glad we ended up there. Lovely community!

The house had everything we needed and was located right in front of the small lake. We enjoyed the trails that go around the lake plus nearby basketball and volleyball court. We booked the house for access to kayaks, but the kayaks are not available until May 1. The add for the house did/does not state this exception so be aware when you are house hunting. The owner was VERY communicative. It was nice to be able to bring our dog, as not many home owners allow that. We were thankful to be able to have our pup come along. I sense that there are issues within the community- something of a 'them versus us'- between dog owners and non dog owners, as you will receive leash directives multiple times from the home owner. Additionally, I was yelled at by someone from a far distance to make sure I keep my dog on a leash. This would be a great house for a family summer vacation. We were fortunate to have summer-like sunshine in April:)

Spent a weekend here with family to go skiing at Jack Frost. Igor was very responsive to questions and provided all information needed. House was well-stocked and clean when we arrived. There is a 240v/50a plug on the front of the house that you can use to charge an EV. This was very helpful on a weekend with temperatures in the single digits. Despite the weather, the house was warm and beds were comfortable.

The pictures accurately described the home. There was plenty of room and the bedrooms were perfect. There are 2 updated bathrooms which were really nice. The deck was perfect for outside cooking and the location with the lake, playground and amenities was perfect for our grandchildren. Also, very easy to get to off the PA turnpike. We had a wonderful family celebration.

Some of the amenities were broken. Coffee pot glass pot. Chairs at the fire pit were broken.The paddle boat hard to peddle and didn't steer. The kitchen light didn't work.. the glider on the porch was broken.The setting of the home was amazing. The lake the beach the view.
Found it a little creepy that the host watched and comment on things we were doing outside,.like we had a fire make sure you put water on when your done. Cover the hot tub when not in use. Keep the dogs on a leash. Our dogs were on the leash just not to come in and out of the house. He told it us its was the law. But know one else had the a dog on a leash. I actually took a picture of a dog on his property without a leash. He also asked me to go pick up garbage that was left out front that a bear got into prior to us checking in. Just odd.
Felt like he was always watching. I also was charged 25 dollars for 3 people for three night that weren't able to come. Will I get refumded back for that ? Total is $225.00
Thank you

We had several families stay together and it was an amazing time! The house is beautiful and has plenty of room, bedrooms were able to accommodate our large group and were comfortable. The location was incredible, each morning after breakfast we walked out the back door to the beach/lake, then did some fishing and kayaking/paddle boating..we only left one time to see a pretty waterfall and that was even only a short 10 minute drive away. Totally satisfied with our stay and the host was very responsive with any questions we had and was a pleasure to rent from! We will be staying here again!

The house is located in a very quiet neighborhood with all of the community recreational activities right behind it. There is a playground, beach, fishing and of course the lake.
House was large enough for a larger group and was as advertised. Everything was provided except for a pizza cutter which we could not locate. Communication with the host was outstanding and they communicated before, during and after our trip.

This home had plenty of room for our party of 3 adults, 5 teenagers and our dog. It was spotless when we arrived and well-stocked for all our needs. We particularly enjoyed the fire pit, meals and games around the large dining room table and the boats available for use. Igor was very responsive throughout the process.
