About this property

Luxury Lakefront Pocono Retreat, Lake Ariel near Lake Wallenpaupack

Beautiful lakefront chalet-style vacation home with spectacular views, fireplace and indoor personal jacuzzi within a community with two outdoor pools and one indoor pool; it is located in the Wallenpaupack Lake area in beautiful Lake Ariel, PA which is about 2 hours from New York City. Unlike other lake fronts which place you up hills and long walking distances to the lake, we are Right On the lake....you will wake up and look out your windows to a beautiful close-up view of the lake. The door is literally steps to the dock and not down steep hills either! Unlike being on the 'big' lake (Wallenpaupack) which allows powerboats and jet skis, our lake is a non-power boating lake which means No waking up to noisy boat motors and the ZZZZ of jet skis!!

Renter Requirements: Renters must be 30 years of age or older and we will require photocopies of drivers licenses to ensure compliance with this rule. Families with children are the only exceptions to this rule. There is NO smoking in the house. NO CATS are allowed, EVER.

Community: For summer renters, there are two outdoor pools....There is a nice lodge at the nearby pool which offers games for kids & teens. There are tennis / pickle ball courts at this pool area which must be reserved in advance at the main office. There is also an indoor pool which is about 5 minutes drive and there is schedule of times that it is open. All community amenities require badges which we will provide to renters. Fishing: there is ample opportunity to do so and the fishing is great in all three lakes (Lake Wallenpaupack is the BIG lake, and the two smaller lakes in our community are called Deer Lake & Beaver Lake, which are both NON-power-boating lakes). If you wish to fish, you MUST get fishing licenses to do so (adults). It is a simple process and it is very inexpensive, but it could cost a lot of money if you fail to have one and get caught fishing without it! Please contact owner for website where you can purchase your fishing license.
Children may only fish with a licensed adult present

This beautiful cabin in the woods has a wonderful view of the water and is easy to get to. The property itself has a lot to do including a hot tub in the basement, ping-pong, and a pool table. Outside on the property next to the small lake is a kayak, paddle board, paddle boat, and a canoe. The community has a lot of amenities, including pools and beaches, as well as events for adults and children. It was a great place to spend two days with friends catching up.

This is by far the most amazing place :)Our stay at the cabin was truly amazing. Everything from the house and amenities to the location was perfect, and the cabin itself has a wonderful atmosphere.The cleanliness was exceptional and the space is clearly meticulously maintained, which made us feel right at home.

The hosts responsiveness was also greatly appreciated.We were sad to leave and are already making plans to return so we can experience the cabin in every season!

Home is a Great stay. Very clean, and communication was very good. Only suggestion I would say- game room and 4th bedroom did not have AC- and that would have made trip perfect if it did. We didn’t utilize game room at all because it was too muggy and warm downstairs. 4th bedroom was used with fans but certainly wasn’t as comfortable as an AC bedroom. Would def recommend a split AC unit in game room and 4th bedroom to make this house 10/10. All other AC units worked great. Water pressure in all bathrooms was great and hot water was plenty! Plenty of towels in bathrooms , lake/pool towels and laundry bed sheets were fresh and great scent. Beach and pool within walking distance. Great location. Snack shack in evenings for ice cream walkable as well! I would recommend bringing an ax for splitting wood for fire pit- Perhaps foam mattress toppers could elevate all the beds comfort, but all were doable. Pet friendly and accommodating- wouldn’t even know pets are permitted house was so clean! Great stay and would def recommend to others…

We have rented through VRBO for four years and this has been the best location for accommodations and cleanliness. The host is immediately receptive to any questions or concerns and the photos are very accurate. We hope to return next year and would recommend this to any family. If I could, I would give it 6stars.

Wonderful Stay

Terrific home with plenty of space to spread out! Excellent location—the beach is just a 5-minute walk away. Travel to the "big lake" wasn't too far—25 to 30 minutes. All the amenities were as advertised. Communications with owners were timely and friendly. Will definitely stay there again.

Family trip

We absolutely loved our stay at Beaver lake. The home was clean and cozy. It had a variety of things to do both inside and outside. It was also conveniently located close to food stores , other lakes and the community pool. We had a great balance of adult fun and family oriented time with our 1 year old son.
