- Security cameras on premise to protect our investment - We take our home very seriously because it's something we love and do not want to have damaged or abused. If having cameras on the property makes you feel uncomfortable in any way, I would then recommend that you do not rent our home. We want all our renters to have a great time and enjoy their stay. We are very transparent with our criteria and requests to help filter out those that would not be a good fit for our home. Cameras are covering the outside of the home, not inside.

NOTE: If you are interested in the home, send an email of when you want to book versus booking so we can confirm everyone is on the same page. If we are in the process of vetting you, and someone asks for the same time during that process we honor those who came to us first. We don't want to decline the booking and get penalized for it as part of the process. Pick the dates, send the email and we have a separate email that we send to confirm the information before accepting any bookings.


Now that we got that out of the way, if the above is ok with you, then please keep reading. If not, please don't rent this house. Sorry to be blunt but we had one renter that seemed to not understand any of the items and gave our only negative review.

This home is for our family to cherish and spend time together. While we are very happy and excited to share this opportunity with others, we wish to rent only to those whose appreciate the hard work that went into revitalizing our lake front home and respect the property of others.

OVERVIEW OF THE HOME:

The title says it all. It's a modern cabin, right on the lake. My wife and I believe this lake house have made us remember that we need to have family time together, especially with all the hustle and bustle of sports, school and work. We invite you to view the photos here on this profile and imagine your family being here to share that warmth and magic that the lake provides. We hope that after you have stayed here, you and your family will look at this cabin as your annual getaway to rest, relax and enjoy time together.

The entire home was gutted and renovated from top to bottom and completed in fall of 2017 to allow us, family/friends, and others to create memories of being together at the lake.

This home features a modern kitchen which includes a quartz counter top, farm house sink, and stainless-steel appliances with all the pots, pans, and utensils you need to cook for your family.

The main living area has great views which are right next to the kitchen, a ceiling fan, AC wall unit. Just sit and boat watch right from the couch or rocking chairs. Through the sliding glass doors, you lead to an oversize 24' x 16' wrapped around deck which features a cable railing system which overlooks the lake views and the private dock area. On the deck we have plenty of outside seating, a grill and an outside heater for your enjoyment. As mentioned, there is a cable railing system installed to not obstruct the views of the lake.

Who is going to call dibs on the first bedroom that is a queen and has the lake view? Wake up to the sunrise and be able to view the lake from the best seat in the house, your bed. You also have a flat screen TV in the corner where you can just lay back and watch the TV and the lake at the same time. There is a AC wall unit to keep you cool when it's hot and baseboard heating to warm you up.

The other bedroom is not too shabby either, where it's a queen with plenty of closet space and ship lap ceiling. It's also equipped with a flat screen TV as well for your entertainment. Also has its own AC wall unit and baseboard heating.

The loft area is featured with a cable railing system for that modern look, but still has that cabin feel. The loft has two single beds with an electric fireplace between them so the kids (or adults!) can have their own little camp out at the lake.

When you go downstairs, you have another separate living space with a flat screen TV, couch and love seat with additional seating which has views of the lake.

The downstairs sliding glass doors open to a separate covered patio under the deck where you can sit and continue to enjoy the lake view and activities. It includes a propane fire pit and also a 4-person hot tub.

The gradual stone walkway leads you to a 14' x 12' patio area by the water which has seating and a fire pit for those evenings around the fire and eating smores. A private swimming dock awaits you and your family to enjoy swimming, fishing and boating (May-Oct).

After all the activities the lake can provide and swimming in the lake, enjoy a hot shower outside (May-Oct). Installed an outside shower for everyone's convenience and enjoyment to be closer to nature and as added experience over other rentals.

Perfect Lake house
My family and I stayed at the lake house and couldn’t have been happier. Everything from the fully stocked kitchen, to the closet of toys and games for the kids, to the hot tub and dock was just what we were hoping for. The place was clean and perfect for a small family. It was super easy to feel at home!

Great vacation
The write up was accurate and Derik was excellent in preparing the house for our stay and responding to me if I had questions. The house is very nice and cozy and the property was very well kept. We had a wonderful time swimming off the dock, fishing and using the row boat and kayak. Nights were very nice with the bonfire and hot tub. We really enjoyed our stay.

Lake House with a View
The house was right on the lake and that was great. The kitchen and bathrooms were like new and were very nice. The house had problems with the septic system so we couldn't really use the indoor shower (less than 5min showers only). The house also had over seven security cameras covering all entrances this also included the deck upstairs and the patio downstairs (not sure how much privacy there was). The patio downstairs was full of cobwebs around the ceiling and inside the outdoor shower. They could have been cleared before we arrived. There was a dryer but no washing machine. Also, the house is not at all secluded so, expect to hear and see the neighbors. Each of the houses on either side are on the property line. As a result, we felt that for the amount of money we spent, the value was just not there.

About the host

Hosted by Derik Beck

Host profile image
We are a professional couple that reside in the Allentown, PA area and travel to the lake to enjoy time with our family and friends, making memories for years to come! We have two adorable children ages 15 and 10. We are coming to understand what people mean when they say your children will grow up in the blink of an eye. That's why we decided to purchase this home and make it our own, making life doesn't pass us by and we enjoy quality time together.

Why they chose this property

My family had a house on Lake Wallenpaupack throughout my childhood and to be able to just walk down to the lake and jump off the dock to go swimming is special. It's hard to describe the feeling you get by watching your family and friends enjoy a piece of something special as being up at the lake brings. We invested our time, money and love into this property to bring those memories to our family but to others as well.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with this home because of the views and how we were able to make this a modern home but still be a cabin. It's cozy. It's large enough to give everyone their own space but not too big where you don't see anyone during your stay. It's the right size for a party of 6. There are 4 main areas to relax and spend time outside- one is the side porch with 2 rocking chairs located off the kitchen- perfect for a quiet morning cup of coffee or an evening cocktail, and an even better place to spot deer as they walk through the yard! The second is the main deck with fabulous views of the lake, outdoor patio table and umbrella complete with a gas grill and gas heater for cool evenings, the other a covered patio off the fully finished basement - complete with another patio table, chairs and outdoor accent tables- great for a passing rain shower! And lastly, a gravel patio down by the water where you can enjoy the warmth of a fire (and a glass or two of wine)! During the summer and early fall months, enjoy sitting on the dock, taking in the glorious sunsets and sunrises. Do some fishing- morning or night. And the boat watching- have fun picking out your favorites! Finally, the kids (and the kid in you!) will delight in the simplicity of the outdoor shower- hot water included and of course don't forget the 4 person hot tub and the gas fire pit!
