The host was available and answered all questions immediately. The house fit all our needs and the views were spectacular! We enjoyed a beautiful family weekend.
We loved our Labor Day Weekend day at your home. Everything was clean and as described. The beach and boats made for lots of memories all weekend. We will be back!
Great house right on Bear Lake. We used the rowboat and 2 kayaks and also the hot tub daily. The ping pong, pool table and board games kept us busy when we had some rain one day. There is a nice community center with pool, tennis and pickle ball courts as well.
This was a beautiful, well maintained property. The outside fire pit was the best with the view and wildlife to enjoy morning through night. This was a very clean property with plenty of room for 5 to move around and enjoy. Great beds, great outdoor spaces, perfect hot tub with a great view of the lake, awesome game room and very clean along with the communication with the host was so easy. This was close to Jim Thorpe and close to many places to visit as well. Just a perfect property for our girls extended vacation. I would recommend this property 10 times over. Thank you for our perfect memorable stay.
Perfect house for a weekend birthday celebration !
Spacious living quarters with the outside being equally as good!! We were there in the winter and it was great! Hard to believe but probably even better in the warmer months We will be back and highly recommend
My friends and I stayed at the King's house for a weekend ski trip to Blue Mountain. The house was beautiful and perfect for accommodating a lot of people.
Hot tub was wonderful. Relaxing taking in the view while others are sitting around the fire pit in front of the beautiful foliage and lake. Nature’s elements were amazing! Extremely spacious with so many “living rooms” to hang out in. Although we couldn’t get into town due to high volume of traffic from the amazing festival, we just came back to the house and enjoyed hanging out there for our entire 3 day stay. Linda the host, was very communicative! There were 10 women enough room for all! Definitely going back next October! Thank you Linda! TheYa’s from CT
A group of 12 of us stayed here to celebrate my 50th birthday. The property is beautiful, peaceful, and well maintained. We all slept comfortably and had no complaints. Communication with the owner was speedy. I’d love to go back. This weekend was truly perfect.
We had the best time! The house is beautiful. The place had plenty of space for our family and had everything we needed for a great stay. The land by the lake was dreamy and we loved using the kayaks/boat and the hot tub. The community was great - very walkable and some fun activities/amenities. We would definitely consider another trip in this home! 💗
Enjoyable weekend on the water. Beautiful view and lots of wildlife. We had the whole house to ourselves and there was plenty of space for everyone. Cannot thank the Kings enough. We would recommend this property again!
We loved our time on the lake with a combination of 6 adults and 6 kids ranging in age from 2-10 years old the house and property had plenty to offer for all! The downstairs layout was convenient for meal prep and the kids had a great time fishing and playing in the sand. Visiting the nearby boulder field and Scoops ice cream provided some offsite adventures as needed!
We had a blast celebrating a few family milestones. Everything was perfect. The house is exactly what we were hoping for and beyond. So clean and plenty of space.
We stayed here with our whole family which included 4 families. Space was great and backyard with lake access allowed for plenty of space for kids to run around. Home’s boats and kayaks were great and it’s nice that life jackets are available as well. Homeowners were very responsive to questions we had regarding hot tub.
We just wrapped up a long weekend with a tropical storm! Despite the rain and wind we had a wonderful time in this cozy home! So grateful for the game rooms! Host was awesome, immediately responsive. Home was clean, cozy and perfect for gathering.
We had a group of 12 adults for a long weekend at this property. Everything was as advertised. Everything on the property was of a nice quality including the hot tub, beds, firepit, appliances, etc. The dock is on a beautiful spot on the lake. I would definitely book again for a large group.
We had so much fun hiking, boating, kayaking, fishing, and jogging that we need a vacation.First, great communication from coffee makers to church services to gun clubs in the area. The owner ALWAYS responded.Second, the home had everything...kitchen appliances, laundry room, hot tub, dock, fireplace, outdoor seating, huge driveway!Third, CLEAN. CLEAN. CLEAN.We have already started planning to return to Jim Thorpe next year and hoping that the owner allows us to use her home!Thank you.
Linda’s house is becoming an annual trip for myself, my wife, kids, and my in-laws. Can’t ask for a better house in the Poconos - right on the water, beach for the kids to play, hot tub, pool in the community center, a variety of boats to choose from, and a 10 minute ride to downtown Jim Thorpe. Linda is great to communicate with. We’ll be back next year!
We stayed at this house for a bachelorette weekend, the bride was overwhelmed with the property and so ecstatic! We had the best weekend and the house was close to Jim Thorpe town which was very convenient! The property owner was very quick to respond to questions and very helpful as we were not familiar with the area! The house was immaculate when we checked in, the process was very easy! The property setting os absolutely beautiful, the water and firepit area, all of it was just amazing! We've already talked about planning our next stay there! Thank you King Family for an amazing place for us to make memories!
We just got back from our week at this lake house and had a wonderful, relaxing time. The house has a great layout with a convenient entrance to a mud/play room with a bathroom right there for the kids. The kitchen was large enough for 3 adults to work doing dishes/prepping/cooking food. There was a lot of space for our group of 12 to sit to eat, as well as to relax in the living room. We used the hot tub all week and it was super hot (like it should be!) and relaxing. We used the kayaks and row boat often, and did a lot of fishing from the dock and the row boat as well. We caught some really large bass, crappie, and a million sunfish. We had every pot and pan we needed, even a griddle for pancakes, and there was plenty of large bowls and platters. The few times I reached out to the host she was quick to respond and happy to help. We had a wonderful time and would not hesitate to book again!
