Our family had a fabulous stay at this home. It is clean, new, and in a great location. The layout of the house is family friendly. Everyone enjoyed fishing on the dock, hanging out by the fire pit at night, going to the community pool, and relaxing! The hosts were wonderful too.
This house is absolutely amazing! It is the perfect lake house with the everything you could need! And the location right on the water has the most breath taking views! My family had a very relaxing and fun time!
Nice location. We purchased passes for utilizing the pool and pickleball courts. We took the kayaks out frequently to enjoy the lake. Saw eagle and deer. Gouldsboro State Park has some nice hiking trails. You are close to Pocono White Water, Speedway and Camelback Resort. Shop-Rite was only 10-min drive. We are spoiled by our king size bed so that is our only wish in that there was a bigger bed. Overall, it was excellent stay and we would recommend this property for anyone traveling to Poconos.
Overall we really enjoyed this property. It was well maintained and loved being lake front and having access to kayaks, as well as the community’s various amenities.A few things to improve upon would be a larger hot water tank, we ran out of hot water/water pressure very easily with our group of 7. The living area with the tv could use additional seating, there’s plenty of room for a sectional or another couch. The kitchen could use more plates, utensils and dish towels. It was otherwise well stocked.
The house is beautiful, beds are comfortable, fishing feet from the back door, fire pit conversation at night, truly enjoyable and relaxing time. Hosts are quick to respond. Special time with adult kids and doggos .
The place is amazing 5 stars in almost everything. I would give a simple advise, please check water pressure it is almost impossible take a shower in the third floor if anyone else is running water at the same time.

Thanks Jorge for being a very respectful guest. It was a pleasure to host you! I'd like to let you know that since your stay, we have installed a new well system so there is no longer low water pressure in the home. Thank you for the feedback!
The house was sparkling clean and decorated so nicely. Check-in/out was a breeze. We loved that the property was lakefront and dog friendly.
We utilized the dock every day to fish (and caught some nice ones too!), made s'mores around the fire pit and took the kayaks out to explore the lake. We used the grill a few times and ate out on the deck, which was so nice. The kitchen is well stocked with nice cookware and every gadget you need to make a meal. Linens and towels are provided, which makes packing a lot easier and there's plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy meals together.
We purchased weekly amenity passes and got to swim in the community pool, use the lake beach and play pickleball on the well-maintained courts. All of which were fun and kept the kids entertained for most of the day. We played bingo at the community center one night. It was affordable and everyone had a great time.
All in all, I would highly recommend this property and plan to book it again in the future. The house itself is wonderful, the community offers enjoyable things to do for adults and kids alike and there are stores nearby for easy access to just about anything you need during your stay.
We appreciated the prompt responsiveness to any questions we had before and during our stay. Not only was the house fabulous, but the host's communication was equally as amazing.
Thanks again for a memorable vacation!
