Amazing lakefront property
We had a lovely time at this magnificent lake house. The house is very spacious and beautifully decorated, with a stunning view of the lake. The bedrooms are large and comfortable, and the kitchen has everything you’ll need, with a very large dining room to accommodate a large group. The property is also perfectly situated on the lake, and we really enjoyed sitting around the firepit overlooking the lake - was very peaceful. Greg (property owner) is wonderful, easy to get a hold of and very responsive to our inquiries. Highly recommended!!

Beautiful house with gorgeous lake view
We had a weekend getaway with 10 friends and had a great time despite the rainy weekend. The house was so beautiful and spacious. The one minor issue we encountered was quickly rectified by the owner who was very gracious and a pleasure to work with. My friends and I are already looking to book this house again come spring time. We highly recommend this beautiful lake front house.

Beautiful House by the Lake
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Bonowitz's house. It is very comfortable & clean. We had the perfect bedroom / bed setup for our family. Mom & Dad downstairs, Grandparents upstairs and grandkids and Aunt on the main level. The pedal boat, kayaks and canoe were well used during our week. The fishing was good with several large bass and perch caught from the dock. The weather was not great, but we did get to enjoy the community pool and beach. We also played tennis. The kitchen was big enough for a couple of people to work together. There were plenty of pots and pans, although some could be updated. We barbecues several dinners in the large grill on the deck. The deck was beautiful for dinner with colors of the sunset reflected on the lake. One drawback is the number of stairs. There are 10-12 stairs to get to the entrances and once inside there are 10-12 stairs between each of the 3 levels. The only other issue is that there is no cable TV in the master bedroom upstairs. We had a great time and the family agreed that we look forward to another stay … maybe next year.

Lovely lake house
This lake house was so spacious, nicely decorated, and make a great home base during our weeklong stay in the Poconos. We spent our days swimming, fishing, boating, and making smores. Greg was a pleasure to work with. We would definitely stay again. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!
