The house is amazing, the views are spectacular. Top notch hosts! We went during the winter, now want to return for a summer trip!! The house has everything you may need to have an enjoyable stay! We felt so blessed the entire weekend.
Great place, this was our second time as a group and perfect for our two families with kids. Especially loved the boats and outdoor space for grilling, meals on the deck and fire pit.
We had an amazing time here. The house was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed for our large group. We loved all of the outside spaces and how easy it was to get down to the water. The dock was nice and the lake was perfect. I was impressed with how well the host communicated information before our trip and his availability during our trip. Everything was perfect, and I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
We take a lake house vacation every year as a family. This one definitely checked all of the boxes. From a beautiful house with so much space, to a fun filled dock area for tubing and boating, and a perfect firepit area for nightly s'mores. We really enjoyed all of what this property had to offer and our host, Greg, was super attentive and helpful.
The house is fantastic! Everything was as described. Check in was flawless with Greg helping along the way! Kitchen was very well stocked, even with spices! Beds were comfortable. Lakeside was so lovely and view from house likewise. Plenty of space for everyone to spread out and do their own thing! The Big Bass Lake offerings were great too. We went to the beach and the pool and the kids played paddleball. Finally, the daily visits by the baby deer were a family favorite!
We had a great time and the property was great! The lake, fire pit, and house were all better than expected. We will be staying here again in the future!
Family get away and this home did not disappoint! Loved the boats, pool table, we even had a blast with the WII. We did have perfect weather and Lake Natalie was just perfect, quiet and serene.
This property was great. It was perfect for our group of ten. The owner was terrific and easy to contact if there were any problems. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Intergenerational family vacation with appeals to all. We spent a lot of time on the water with many water toys. Enjoyed grilling and nights around the fire. We were blessed with great weather. All in all a perfect vacation!
This is our 3rd time staying at this house and each time has been a pleasure for me and my extended family (ages 2-70). Greg, the owner is always pleasant and prompt with his emails. The house itself is beautiful, comfortable for our 11 people, and always clean. For my family the best parts of this rental were the decks, the boats (kayaks, canoe and paddle boat), the dock, the small beach for the youngest, the comfortable house, the quiet street for my grandsons to bike and skateboard on, the wildlife sightings (deer, rabbits, bear, woodpeckers and river otters) and the proximity to Goldsboro State Park. Hope to go back again.
This property was lovely. This was our second time vacationing at this house and it was another good experience. The host was very good at communicating all the needed information and was very responsive to emails and text messages.
Comfortable for large group that included children with many things to entertain us. Even when the weather wasn’t ideal, the home and its lake along with the Big Bass Lake amenities made for a perfect family reunion!
This property is a gorgeous retreat with fantastic views and easy living. Ample rooms to sleep, space on every floor to spread out. Windows everywhere! The views and light are more than could be imagined.
Great house, with a wonderful view of a lake. The house has lots of sleeping options, and my family and brothers' families had plenty of room. Kitchen is well equipped, and the owners had are very responsive to any questions. Would love to visit again!
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!
My friends and I had a great weekend at Greg's lake property. The pictures are accurate, the location is fantastic, and the lake is serene. It's a great getaway spot for families or friends. The house is large and everything you could need is there. Greg is responsive and easy to communicate with. We hope to come back!
This is a beautiful home, clean, comfortable and right on the lake with all the boats you need to enjoy the water. The house is very nice, with plenty of room for our large family. Having Goldsboro State Park a short drive away was wonderful too. Greg was very helpful and easy to get in contact with. We would love to visit this house again!
This is a lovely house and setting for a family vacation. The house is clean, well organized and perfectly situated on a quiet, shallow lake. The small sand beach in front of the house provided a nice place for my young grandsons to safely play in the water. No luck fishing but the kayaks and the paddle boat were being used each day. There were 11 of us comfortably enjoying the house, the lake and the nearby state parks. This is our second year renting this house, so you know I would recommend it.
Our third time at the house was a great as the first!
We love this house and have rented it three out of the last four years (one year we were not fast enough and it was gone!). It's the best house in BBL for the price. Greg is an excellent host. He is extremely thorough and very reliable. We rent this house with another family, and there is plenty to keep our six teenage boys entertained. Highly recommended!
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.
This was our second year staying at this house, and we loved it every bit as much as last year. Highlights are the large tables in the kitchen and on the deck so all ten of us could eat together, the separate space downstairs for the kids, and the number of kayaks at the house for our use. It's also nice to have the BBL Clubhouse as an option to mix up the activities. The boys have already starting asking if we can go back next year to the same house again!
Nice house, quiet neighborhood, nice for evening walks with toddlers to look at deer. Cleaning crew needs to do a better job. Renters should be aware that lake is not a swimmable lake, shallow and lots of vegetation. Will need to purchase amenities pass and go to beach and pool which are very nice.

Response from VrboOwner on 19 July 2024
Thanks for your review.
I respectfully disagree with the statement that “the lake is not swimmable”. To the contrary...
• When we go up with our friends and family we swim all the time
• Our neighbor goes out for a daily morning swim off of their dock (~ 20 yards away from our dock).
It is true that there is vegetation in areas of the lake, including around our dock.
It’s also true that there are shallow parts of the lake (some parts out in the middle that go down to 1'). However, I'm over 6 feet tall and when swimming find plenty of spots where I'm standing on my toes to keep my head above the water.
While we haven’t had cleaning problems before we've nevertheless passed your feedback to the company to keep in mind going forward.
