The place was clean and spacious. The location is what you are paying for. It was very nice to have your own beach and lake area away from the July 4th “CROWDED” public beach next door to the property. Also, the kayaks and the pedal boat were a nice addition.

Having your own private beach and lake area to retreat to — especially over a busy July 4th weekend with the crowded public beach right next door — is the kind of perk that really pays off. We're glad the location delivered exactly what you were after, and that the kayaks and pedal boat added a little extra fun to the mix. Thanks for the note; we'd love to welcome you back anytime.

Great view of the lake with lots of activities nearby and a nice home. The only downside was that there was no working WiFi, which meant no late night movies or sports. The TVs in the house did not have cable and required WiFi to stream anything. The host was made aware of this the first night, but it was never resolved. Other than that, no complaints!

Great vacation house

We had a wonderful time. Loved the use of paddle boats, canoes, and kayaks. Great location along the lake. The house was stocked with all the amenities needed.

Wonderful home

The house was very nice and clean. Loved the beach and access to the water. There didn’t seem to be a lot of fish for fishing but still a lot of fun.

Weekend getaway

Great weekend stay on the lake. The house had all we needed for two families with kids ages 6-9. We spent the weekend relaxing by the water, enjoyed the views, fire pit and hot tub. House was very clean and Pocono rental was very responsive if needed. We will be back!

Very Beautiful Home & View

The house was perfect for our family, and had a lot of things that were helpful for our stay with 2 little ones like children’s dishes, booster seat and more. The house is very clean and we loved the air system. Each room is adjustable to what you prefer temp wise. We will for sure be back!

Beautiful views

Lovely views right on the lake, property as advertised, clean and spacious with multiple spaces for relaxing inside and outside. Hot tub was lovely. Kitchen was well stocked. Unfortunately, no dishwasher and only thing provided was soap. We had to buy sponges and brushes, and left them for the next guest.

Thank you so much for your review and for leaving those materials for the next guests, Megan. We normally supply cleaning materials and should have had some extras for you in the supply closet if not left out directly on the kitchen sink or under it. We appreciate your feedback and hope this did not inconvenience you too much. We would love to have you back any time!

The outside space was amazing. My family enjoyed the private beach access to the lake, use of the home's kayaks, hot tub, etc. Gorgeous views at any time during the day. The inside of the house could use a refresh and not sure why this is listed as a 4 bedroom house when there are 5 bedrooms. This could be a big draw to larger groups! Was disappointed to learn that the community pools are not open during the week until June 15th.

Perfect for a family reunion

We had an absolute blast at this home last week! The number of bedrooms and beds was perfect for what we needed. The kitchen was spacious and relatively well equipped compared to other homes we have rented. The dual family rooms was perfect to accommodate four kids who couldn’t agree on what to watch. And the lake was PHENOMENAL. We loved being able to walk from the breakfast to the beach in just a few steps and took all advantage of the paddle boat and kayaks (and life preservers!) the property includes. And the hot tub was a welcome respite for four tired parents after a day chasing the kids in the sun. Overall this is a stellar property and we would love to return next year.

Locust Lake Village

We really enjoyed our stay at this property over the 4th. The property is immediately aside of a very popular beach and playground so we had the option to be part of the action or have our own private beach. The unit includes 2 kayaks, a canoe, and a paddleboat and we enjoyed them all. The inside of the home had plenty of room downstairs for 10 people to spread out and the flow of the spaces worked well. All necessary kitchen small appliances, utensils, and supplies were available. We also enjoyed the shuffleboard table and the arcade game. The downstairs bedroom was dark, but the upstairs rooms are all painted brightly. There are actually 4 bedrooms upstairs with the 4 twin beds being split between two separate rooms. We actually preferred this as the kids slept better. The local community also had a lot of activities which we all enjoyed. Fishing was fairly good as well, and the owner was very responsive. Overall, very much recommend.

Thank you, Dianna! It’s wonderful to hear how much you and your group enjoyed the stay, especially over such a fun holiday. We're glad the mix of private and public beach access, watercraft, and indoor amenities like the arcade and shuffleboard table helped make it a memorable experience. Thanks also for pointing out the bedroom layout—it’s great to know it worked well for the kids! We truly appreciate your recommendation and would love to welcome you back anytime.

All I Could Ask For

A wonderful, relaxing and cozy weekend. Exactly what I needed. I'd imagine that is a perfect spot in summer. Only minor drawback was I couldn't watch the Eagles on Sunday. Was able to catch the Phils win though!! Thank you for the weekend
