My family loved the house. It is very cozy and family oriented. We loved the lake in the back and the game room was a big hit for the kids. Would definitely come back and enjoy the house again
The location is wonderful and the house is very cozy and comfortable.we had a great time and will come back one day for sure. the host was very responsive.The kitchen is well stocked and the terrace is perfect for meals both at mornings and nights. the lake is a little small but kayaking was still fun for the kids.
Our host was super communicative and helpful, and the house was exactly ad listed, if not better. Some of our trip highlights were darts in the game room, kayaking on the lake, and smores around the firepit.
We stayed over the Fourth of July to celebrate my birthday. There was plenty of room for everyone! The kitchen and grill were great for group meals. The game room, backyard, and pond provided tons of recreational options for everyone. We were also very close to mt airy casino. It was an amazing trip!
We had an amazing stay! The house was exactly as advertised.the outside space was excellent. The house was clean and the owner was responsive to any questions. 10/10!
Had a wonderful time here. The house was furnished with every convenience we needed. The host set out snacks and toothbrushes/toothpaste for us. Very thoughtful touches. Game room was a great bonus. Views and firepit were excellent. Would definitely recommend! 10/10
Awesome place! We absolutely loved it and will return in warm weather! Our plans developed super last minute for a Thanksgiving getaway with family and friends and the host was extremely prompt in responding all the way from our booking needs till we checked out. The property was very clean. The house was extremely sweet and cozy! The deck and view are gorgeous!! The kitchen and bath were fully stocked with necessary items. The kids and men enjoyed the game room! The kids wanted to make some s’mores last minute and the host had all the ingredients they needed! So thoughtful!! I have stayed at many VRBO properties in Poconos over the last 15 years and no host / owner has been so clean, thoughtful, organized, hospitable, and prompt with responses! Thank you Valentina!
We truly enjoyed our stay at the property! The house is big, beautifully decorated and thought through with love and care: from fully equipped kitchen, perfectly working appliances to travel sized shampoos, lotions and even toothbrushes! Rooms are spacious and spotless, beds are very comfortable. The property is big and we enjoyed relaxing at the chairs or by the lake. Speaking of the lake, it was a bit disappointing since it’s tiny and not clean. But we still enjoyed the views and used the peddle boat to get around the lake and to see small fish, turtles and herons. The owners are very responsible, respond quickly to requests and do their best to accommodate.Great place, highly recommend.
Lovely place to stay with friends/family. Valentina is amazing host and super helpful. She responded almost immediately. The house was spotless and she also arranged a wine bottle for my mum’s birthday.
Amazing Lake Front Retreat !!! All rooms immaculate. Including game room where we enjoyed playing Billiards in the evening. Plenty of room for all guests to relax and enjoy their vacation. The hosts responded promptly to all our questions. We recommend this beautiful place for its location and the many outdoor activities available.
This property is fantastic and met all expectations! Even though it rained one day there was still plenty to do inside with the game garage. We had a great night by the fire enjoying yard games, grilling, and we even caught a few fish! Would definitely stay here again, thank you!
Stayed there memorial weekend with the family. The house exceeded our expectations! The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you would need! The outside was beautiful. We enjoyed our morning rides on the canoe. Valentina was an amazing host! She check up on us and really felt the hospitality. We will definitely be returning!
This house was perfect for a weekend gathering of friends. It is very spacious and perfect for a larger group. The open kitchen & dining room were great for a big group breakfast. The outdoor areas were even better than expected - spacious deck with plenty of seating and a lot of space in the yard for games. The boats were a great addition & a lot of fun. The game room downstairs was also great for late night hangs. Highly recommend!
Very nice and clean place in the back woods on the lake.
Our must have were the fire pit, lake access and the game room which all were used at it's maximum :)
One of the guys, even while fishing, caught a 21" pike!
Also there is a lot of room for sleeping.
Again very nice, clean place highly recommended!
Thank you for having us over.

Family Fun - Fishing, Lake Sports, Game Room and S’mores
The home was beautifully appointed. We enjoyed direct access to the lake paddle boating and canoeing. We fished from the dock and watched the turtles nibble our bait even if a neighbor hauled in a few large mouth bass. The lake was lovely with flowering lily pads and sea grass. The game room was just right, and now has newly named champions in pool, darts, and foosball. We also enjoyed delicious ice cream at Tutrone’s, roasting S’mores, and a challenging mountain and waterfall hike at Mt. Tammany. Afterwards we truly collapsed on the most comfortable couches, hammock, and deck furniture. We are looking forward to a future visit.
We booked this place just a week out—and it couldn’t have gone smoother. Communication was quick and easy, and we arrived Friday night with zero hassle getting in.The house sits right on the lake with a private dock and an awesome backyard, complete with a top-tier fire pit setup. Friday night gave us the perfect sunset—we grilled, hung out by the bonfire, and soaked it all in.Saturday morning, we woke up to a misty, overcast sky. The light rain over the pond gave everything this calm, moody vibe—honestly, the perfect atmosphere to slow down and enjoy the view.Inside, it’s got everything you need: a fully stocked kitchen, a cozy living room with a fireplace, a proper dining area, and the ultimate garage mancave—think ‘90s sitcom vibes with Pac-Man, pool, foosball, and more.Upstairs, the master loft is super cozy with a chill lounge and a private upper deck—perfect for morning coffee with a view.Every detail was on point: easy-to-use grill, thoughtful amenities like toothbrushes and toothpaste in every bathroom, and plenty of fresh towels.10/10. Would absolutely stay here again. Thanks again Val!
The house was absolutely beautiful and completely updated! We had 3 families (5 adults and 5 children). and their was more then enough room for all of us. The house was decorated beautifully and all the appliances were completely updated. The kids (and big kids...lol). utilized the fully stocked game room throughout are stay. The back yard was are favorite part of the house the view was absolutely gorgeous and the kids loved going on the 3 person paddle boats.
The location was perfect as we were close to so many fun activities but far enough away that we were able to enjoy the peace and serenity of the lake.
The owner of the home, Valentina, was also a joy to deal with. She was incredibly responsive and answered questions almost immediately. We definitely would recommend this listing and will definitely book in the future!!
We were a group of parents, 2 older teens, and grandparents. First, the house was the cleanest vacation rental I have ever stayed in! Lots of extras like toothbrushes/paste, paper towels, napkins, dish detergent, ect. Beds were comfortable and lots of extra options if you had more people ( we did not use these). The game room had lots of fun activities for a rainy day or Netflix options on the TVs in the house. We enjoyed using the Kayaks and fished ( no luck catching anything ). Tons of nature around ( one morning on a walk my husband counted 29 deer ) and we enjoyed making smores one night at the fire pit. We had great communication with the host and she answered any questions we had in a timely manner. The only thing I would point out to someone considering renting here, is you can hear the highway when you are outside, which takes away from the nature ambiance. But I would not let that deter you, if you want a house with lots of sleep options, super clean, fun game room and outdoor options, and centrally located to lots of hiking/ outdoor experiences. I would highly recommend this vacation home.

We were drawn to the house because of its cozy vibes, lake view kitchen, deck & of course the game room. We went as a family of 9 & had ample space to lounge around & hang out without feeling crowded at all. The teens & kids LOVED hanging out in the heated garage game room, from the billiards table to darts to bob it. It rained the for 2 days & kids could not snowboard but spent hours playing in the game room. The house was clean, the kitchen had everything we needed & then some. We loved that the grill was hooked up directly to a gas line. The homeowner was prompt with answering all our questions and checked up on us to see if we needed anything.
What really surprised us was how beautiful the deck was and the walk path to the lake. The lake view was amazing it was solid ice but nevertheless it was just stunning to look at. We can only imagine how beautiful it is during the spring and summer. We made a fire pit our last night and sat around it & made some s'mores.
We really enjoyed our stay & hope to go back again.. We appreciated how everything was labeled and organized. We really loved the updated heating systems that was installed. Super easy to use and super efficient.
The home is in a great area, several newly renovated home surround it as well. Which really goes to show - it is valued and kept well.
My husband, Lou, and our grandson, Luca, had a wonderful time at this beautiful and so comfortably decorated home. The house has a great flow for entertaining and relaxing. The views of the lake are spectacular - serene and so peaceful. The hosts have thought of everything as far as your inside and outside needs. The kitchen is equipped soup to nuts with everything you could possibly need. Outside there’s a deck, comfy couches for lounging, a grill to bbq, tables for dining, a fire pit, peddle boat and a canoe for cruising the lake. Every bathroom is equipped with shampoo, bath soap and towels (we forgot our tooth brushes, thankfully toothpaste and toothbrushes provided by the host, so thoughtful!!). The primary bedroom king size bed made for an amazingly restful night. The other three bedrooms are beautifully appointed and inviting. The bonus two car garage converted to game room is so much fun, equipped with pool table, dart board, corn hole, foosball table, TV, Xbox and the board games kept us content and busy. We loved the indoor pool, basketball, tennis court and playground and there is also a bar and grill at this community center with great food and cocktails. So much to do and enjoy. We loved our stay here and will definitely come back. October for the fall foliage will be beautiful and then again in Jan/Feb for the ski season and winter activities. Thank you Valentina and John❤️. We couldn’t have asked for more on this memorable vacation.
