Happiest New Year

We had a great time enjoying all that the property had to offer. All of 8 kids (ages 1-7) were very occupied for the games and activities available for them while the adults had time to socialize and enjoy their time! I would highly recommend this property.

We had a great stay and really enjoyed our time here. Booking and checking in was easy. The house is exactly as the listing described. We loved the updated lower level with pool table, ping pong, and foosball. This made our rainy Friday fun. Kids loved fishing from the dock and the boat. The house was well equipped. Would definitely stay here again.

Great Family Vacation

This lake house is great…room for all 17 us - 8 adults and 9 kids. The kitchen is well stocked with appliances and our son-in-law was in his glory making super breakfasts to start our days of activities. Going out on the pontoon boat, kayaking, paddle boarding, going to the beach at the clubhouse, singing and watching the sunset around the fire pit, fishing, the hot tub, swimming and splashing around in the lake, puppets shows and so many laughs made for an amazing fun-filled week. So happy we had the chance to stay at this lake house for a 2nd time. Thank you from the Monahan/Beatty families for all the memories we have to share🤗😎🎣🛶❣️

Relaxing family get-away

We had a wonderful family vacation at this beautiful home with our children and grandchildren. There were 8 of us and we had plenty of room to spread out. The weather was perfect, the boat got plenty of use, had a fire on the beach every night, many wildlife sightings on the property (deer, swan, ducks, skunks, eagle, osprey, chipmunks and fox). So much to enjoy, the TV was only turned on once to watch Olympic closing ceremony and only left the property once to go out for dinner. Can highly recommend Evan’s Road House, food and service were great. Had a small glitch when powder room toilet sprung a small leak but Woody responded immediately and had a plumber there to repair right away. This is a wonderful place to stay if you are looking to relax, fish, breathe in some mountain air and spend quality time with family and friends!

Pocono Mac 2.0 was even better!

Annual friends fall weekend was a blast, yet again. This house fit us better (and we had many of the same awesome amenities!) and we loved the big, expansive views of the lake. The fireplace wasn’t working which was a bit of a bummer especially since we had a few rainy days. We’ll definitely back to this house - one of our favorite weekends and favorite spots!

Two thumbs up

Your place is beautiful, spotless and well stocked. We enjoyed our stay, just wish the fires in Canada didn’t require us to stay indoors for 1 1/2 days. However, the house had plenty to entertain us (pool table, foozeball, cards, community pool). While we were able to enjoy the out doors, we enjoyed the decks, kayaking & canoeing. Would love to return again

No need to leave the property!

This home had everything needed for the perfect family vacation. Plenty of room to spread out and not be on top of each other; huge dining room table for family meals. The kids, young adults and older adults could all enjoy activities without ever leaving. The kayaks were fun, floating on and swimming in the lake, simply sitting on the deck enjoying nature. Loved the fire pit and the hot tub. We also paid extra to use the pontoon boat and that was enjoyed by all. The lighting in the bedrooms and bathrooms isn't great but it didn't matter as we weren't getting all done up to go anywhere "fancy". We did go white water rafting one day which was fun but it wasn't out of boredom. Daily visits from the deer were a treat. Would definitely come back!!

Beautiful House for Large Families

This house was perfect for our family of 17 people. We wanted something that had plenty of space for us all to eat together, play together but not feel like we were cramped. This house was perfect! It technically only sleeps 13 adults (including a pull out couch) but there were plenty of couches and floor space for air mattresses for the kids. Unfortunately it was too early in the season to rent the boat but having our own dock was ideal for our little fisherman plus there were lots of salamanders to catch. There were also kayaks onsite although we brought our own. The property owner responding to all of my questions prior to arrival within 24 hours and the property manager was also very responsive the few times I had to reach out to him while we were there with questions. We also took advantage of the pool in the clubhouse, gym and basketball courts. The woman at the desk was very helpful and the pool was clean and warm. We couldn't have been happier with the house and had a wonderful weekend. We'd go back in a heart beat!

Peaceful get away on a quiet lake with activities at your fingertips

Our family recently stayed at this lakefront rental over Columbus Day weekend. The owner was very responsive. The home is beautiful and located on a peaceful - battery only lake. We were pleasantly surprised that the home had more boats than mentioned in the listing (kayaks, paddle board, canoe). We rented the pontoon boat as well for several relaxing strolls around the lake. Our family caught a handful of large mouth bass (catch & release). The weather conditions were mixed making the activities available in the house and clubhouse very handy. Please note this is a very family friendly house. They have a cute puppet show set for the little ones, amongst other toys. Games for teens and adults in house include the beautiful pool table, ping pong & board games. Activities at the clubhouse include volleyball, tennis, indoor pool, indoor basketball, racquetball and small arcade. The kitchen has every appliance you would need and 2 grills. Cooking for a large family was very easy. To top the weekend off, our son ended up coming down with a double ear infection going into Sunday. Geisinger Convenient Care was 15 mins away and had zero wait time, with friendly staff first thing in the morning. The CVS pharmacy on the way back to the lake was also very prompt at filling our script. Overall, lovely stay with a beautiful location. Thank you for sharing your lake home with other nature loving families.

Large space but just OK for Winter visit

Overall the space was very impressive. The bedroom layout makes it a little hard with kids who should sleep behind closed doors as one "bedroom" with bunk beds is an open loft space that looks over the main living/gathering area. At the overall price during the winter months I had hoped it had been much cleaner (toothpaste stains on the bathroom walls, blankets had hairs on them). Plus having to provide your own linens was a terrible nuisance. The kitchen was fine, plenty of plates and cups for adults but nothing plastic for younger kids. Warning the stove is electric coils and the oven doesn't seem to be calibrated correctly. Tried to bake something at 350 which should have taken 30 minutes took almost an hour and I had to increase the temp to 400. The owner was kind to bring a new set of knives the day after we arrived and the property manager did his best to keep the very steep drive clear of ice during a nasty ice storm. The hot tub was a nice bonus and well maintained. The lower level game area and king bedroom was constantly cold during our early Feb stay. The heaters/electric fire places didn't really get the space above 65 degrees. Overall, with all the fees and general cost and a no-refund policy I would say the experience was just ok, but not worth the high price -even for the huge space and beautiful view.
