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!

Great for multigenerational family!

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.

Great Place!

Host was super responsive. House was clean and well equipped. There was so much to do for all generations, that we were able to stay on the property. Location was excellent, near stores, yet very private. We loved the lake, the boats, the fire pit, the puzzles, books, and the basketball games. Yossi

This house was everything we could have hoped for! Plenty of sleeping room for us all. The decor in the house was so nice. Lots of amenities. The hot tub was very clean. Everything was great from the initial booking to checking out. Jennifer was a great host and we would definitely stay here again.

Lakehouse

We really enjoyed the house and location. Being right on the lake provided hours of entertainment. The house had everything you needed from kayaks to bikes. We had children ages 1-16 and there was something for everyone. Jennifer Shelley was very responsive to our questions. Loved it!

Amazing stay!

We had an amazing stay! From the beginning the host was easily contacted and responded quickly. The house is gorgeous. There was plenty of room for a house full of adults. Everyone could have their own space if they wanted, but there was family areas where everyone could fit. Everything was very clean. All of the instructions for the house were easy to follow. We really appreciated the endless firewood that was provided for the living room fire place. We would stay here again!

Amazing house with all of the amenities!

My family stayed for a week at Jen's house in the Poconos and we absolutely loved it. The house had everything and more than we would have ever imagined. Kayaks, a canoe, bikes, a paddle boat, you name it, it was there! Even with a week of entire rain, there was still plenty to do just staying at the house. The kitchen was stocked with all of the essentials so it was really nice to not have to worry about bringing the basics with us. The house and the property is gorgeous and it's so nice how easy it is to pop out on the lake for a quick spin in the kayak. Highly recommend this property!

Perfect home for creating lasting memories with friends and family.

The homeowners have provided a beautiful and spacious home that has every single thing needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. We were four families gathering together for the new year and had plenty of space. The home was even decorated with some beautiful Christmas decor that made for an unexpectedly warm and welcoming holiday surprise. This home is well stocked with indoor and outdoor activities to keep everyone of all ages entertained, no matter what season or weather you may encounter while visiting the Poconos. The kitchen is also equipped with everything and anything you will need from large family dinners to quick, on the go meals. The bedrooms were also spacious with plenty of storage for your belongings. The real treat was waking up in the morning and enjoying that first cup of coffee while admiring the views that the lake provides. Everything was easy, from booking to departure. The homeowners, too, were accessible, friendly and quick to reply to any questions. Overall a great home to make lasting memories!

My favorite Summer vacation place!

This our our 3rd Summer renting this amazing home and we plan on returning again! The house is big enough for a large group and you don't feel like your on top of each other. The lake is what makes it extra special, I don't know what everyone would do all day without it. This year the kids brought their own kayaks but they do supply 2 or 3 of them and the new little boat received much use this week (and the canoe as well) I love that we don't have to pack towels and we always rent the sheets to avoid packing these also. The kitchen has everything you will need and we cook almost every meal while we are there. The hot tub gets used almost daily! We like that its close to stores (Wawa, dunking, CVS, takeout, beer, food store etc) The octagon fire pit seating is amazing and a couple nights every seat was full. This years vacation was much needed and we are very thankful that the week we like to go was available. The owners are readily available to answer any questions and we are looking forward to next year! Thank You!!

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.
