Thank you for staying- glad you enjoyed the week !
We had an excellent stay at the lake! The house had everything we could possibly need for our family vacation. It was clean and spacious which was perfect for our large group. The kids absolutely loved fishing on the lake making s’mores by the fire.We made some great memories and we’d gladly stay again!
We love this house. The house has everything for a gathering of 8 adults; kitchen stuff, games & puzzles, boats & bikes, fireplace & firepit with wood supplied, and a hortub. The detailed instructions before arriving covered all questions and topics. It's wonderful that you share this house!
A fantastic house! It is easily the best property I've rented for my friend's annual trip to the Poconos! Everyone had their own space, plenty of room for entertaining. Between relaxing in the hot tub, enjoying a fire with the swinging chairs, and going out to kayak on the lake, the amenities are perfect. Excellent hosts as well! Would stay again and again.
Our family enjoyed our stay on the lake. The view from in the house on the wintry weather during our stay was awesome . From the hot tub to warm fires in the beautiful fireplace, we found our time well spent together.
Home is lovely and in excellent condition. The kitchen has everything - plus, and the recreation equipment for use of the lake is wonderful. We look forward to returning here frequently.
The house was a perfect size for our three families. Very close to multiple ski resorts. Our kids had a great time!

Great property! Very comfortable house with great set up!
We came for New Year's Eve weekend with a couple of college friends and their family. The kids had a blast and are asking to go back in warmer season to use the lake.
Our group of 10 had plenty of space to spread out. This is obviously a family vacation home which means it is well stocked and well set up for families and young kids — plenty of dishes, games, toys, and towels. Having to wash and put away towels is kind of a pain but that was all clear in check out instructions. Having all the boats and float was wonderful. The lake is small, but perfect for kids boating and floating. Jen was a great host.
We had a beautiful lake front vacation. Our grandchildren enjoyed all that there was to do. The quick response time to the few questions I had was greatly appreciated.
Stayed here with my husband's family, including our 3 small kids. The location was perfect- so much to do. We all loved the paddle boards and kayaks on the beautiful lake. The kitchen was extremely well stocked and we loved sitting out on the deck. Also close to many local attractions for easy day trips! It was really a perfect getaway!
We absolutely loved this house! Very spacious and kid friendly. There was plenty to do at the house with lake activities and the fire pit. The house was stocked with everything we needed for a successful and fun weekend! Can’t wait to come and stay again
We had a wonderful family week at this lakehouse. Incredibly clean and well equipped, it was the perfect spot to unwind and relax. Communication with Jennifer was speedy and complete. Would definitely stay here again.
Perfect vacation home right on the lake. Everything you need is provided. Owner is very attentive. Something for everyone from toddlers to adults.
