Wallenpaupack Getaway

The house was as advertised. Really nice deck for the morning coffee and the family of deer roaming the neighborhood were entertaining. The location was quiet and it was easy to take a quick drive to St Parks and trails.

This home and host comes highly recommended. Our family of 9 ( dog) were extremely happy we chose this lakeside jem. The host was always available and followed up promptly to any questions and/or concerns. The home was perfect, the rooms were well sized, house very clean and amenities generous. Note: the kitchen was well stocked and perfect for a holiday gathering including large dinning table.

Relaxing Time Away

Our family enjoyed a relaxing, quiet time away. There was plenty of space and the layout of the first floor was great for a large family. The deck was thoroughly enjoyed! The only item I would mention is that it does not have central air as there are only window units in the three bedrooms.

Awesome getaway!!!

We had a great time at this house. We were looking to get away for the weekend and this house was perfect for that. Makayla was extremely helpful and responsive throughout our stay. We couldn't get out much to explore the area due to the weather but we really enjoyed staying in and not worry about a thing. We plan to come back during the summertime so we can explore the area better.

Great layout for a group. The house and particularly the kitchen are well stocked. Large dining room table is a real plus. First and second floor bedrooms have window-air conditioners. Only complaint is the basement is a bit musty even with the dehumidifiers.
