About this property
Pet Friendly Secluded 5BR Poconos Lake Retreat with Beach and Skiing
Tucked into a quiet lake community backing 21,000 acres of state game lands, this is your true Poconos escape — private, peaceful, and completely comfortable. Five bedrooms, two fireplaces, two living areas, a full kitchen plus wet bar give everyone room to gather or spread out. Walk three minutes to the lake beach in summer. Ski the community hills in winter. Fast WiFi and all the comforts of home mean you won't miss a thing — except the noise.
The cabin is private and peaceful, while the community ski and sled hills and the lake beach are just a short walk away. End the day with dinner on the deck or a roaring fire under the stars. PETS WELCOME!
Bring the whole family — including the four-legged ones. Pets are always welcome at The Williwaw, no pet fee ever.

So glad you enjoyed it! So many guests don't take advantage of the sledding hill or ski slope within our community - so it's wonderful that you did. Thank you for staying and please come back any time!

We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the property! It sounds like the space worked out perfectly for your family, and I love that the lakes were such a highlight for your grandchildren. Thank you for sharing your experience!
We had a very nice family vacation. Pros: close to the lake, pretty setting, very comfortable beds, nice deck, very responsive host.Cons: very small kitchen and not very well stocked.

Thank you for your feedback—we’re so glad you enjoyed the setting, the comfortable beds, the deck, and your overall family vacation! We always appreciate hearing what guests enjoy, as well as where expectations may not have aligned.
Regarding the kitchen: while it is not advertised as a chef’s kitchen, we do strive to keep it very well stocked for the average guest's needs. We provide multiple coffee makers (drip, K-cup, and French press), a blender, toaster, microwave, crock pot, hand mixer, hot water kettle, and a full array of utensils for both indoor cooking and grilling. We also offer a generous starter supply of coffee and a variety of spices to help guests get settled.
We do not stock perishable food items, as that is not typical or safe practice for vacation rentals, but guests will often find a few extras left behind (such as cooking oil or pantry items) as a courtesy.
Thanks again for staying with us—we’re always open to suggestions and continually look for ways to improve the experience for our guests.
This rental was great, especially for two families. The owner's instructions for checking in and out were clear and easy to follow. The lake and surrounding area was very peaceful. I really LOVED all the hooks in this house- we had seven people and there was plenty of space to hang bath towels, beach towels, and bathing suits.

Very much a cabin house in the woods. Plenty of room for a family or even two families. We were there Thanksgiving week and would enjoy coming back in the summer months for more outdoor hikinh and activities.

About the host
Hosted by Randyl Walters
Hello! We're a Lehigh Valley couple who believe the best memories aren't made at tourist attractions — they're made around a fire, on a hiking trail, or piled on a couch watching a movie while it snows outside. It's not what you spend on vacation but rather how you SPENT your vacation. Chris has been on a dirt bike since before he could reach the ground. Randyl collects hobbies like some people collect shoes. Together we built The Williwaw for families like ours — come make some memories.
Why they chose this property
The Williwaw — it's a fun name to say and a fun place to stay!
The wraparound second story deck is your headquarters — grill dinner among the trees, visit with friends over a glass of wine, or curl up with a book and a cup of tea while the kids roast marshmallows below.
Locust Lake Village has three lakes with fishing, swimming and boating, several beaches with lifeguards, a playground, tennis courts, and a ski hill with T-bar and sledding hill in winter — all accessible to your guests during your stay.
Beyond the community: Kalahari Indoor Waterpark is 20 minutes away. Hickory Run State Park is just down the road for hiking and nature. Jim Thorpe features white water rafting, mountain biking, and a steam train ride through the Lehigh Gorge. Three major ski slopes are within minutes in winter.
Every room has a different mattress firmness — memory foam, hybrid, and hybrid with topper — all comfortable, with more pillows than you'll know what to do with. For early risers: the sun comes through the backyard trees and creates something genuinely magical. Coffee on the deck before anyone else wakes up is strongly recommended.
What makes this property unique
What makes The Williwaw different? It gives you your time back.
Even on weekends, real life fills up fast — chores, errands, to-do lists. At The Williwaw, none of that exists. You can fill every hour with hiking, skiing, kayaking, and waterparks — or you can sit by the fire and do absolutely nothing at all.
Those quiet hours in the woods, piled on the couch while it snows, or watching the kids explore the backyard — that's the magic. We built this place for families like ours, and we're genuinely happy to share our corner of the woods with you.
