Welcome to the Lodge at Bear Creek Lake! SUMMER!! Fresh water lake! Fishing! Swimming! Pool too!
A perfect place to escape with family or friends to take in the natural splendor of the surrounding mountains, and enjoy the tranquility of the pristine 160-acre spring-fed lake that is only a 2 minute walk away. As our guest, you will also have access to all of the amenities of the private community of Bear Creek Lakes including the heated outdoor pool, playgrounds, sandy beaches, tennis/basketball/pickleball courts, and more!
The Lodge features an airy and bright open-concept main floor* with a fully stocked gourmet kitchen, breakfast bar with seating for six, dining table, spacious family room that opens to a 30-ft. screened-in porch (where you can enjoy your morning coffee or take in the sunset), washer/dryer, and a brand new “mini split” A/C and heating system throughout. The smoke-free main floor also features a large primary suite with a king bed, TV, full bath, and walk-in closet. Upstairs you’ll find two more large bedrooms, each with a queen and two twin beds, and their own private balcony, as well as another full bathroom. On the ground level, the garage is stocked with sports equipment, corn hole, bikes, and beach chairs of all sizes. When evening falls, enjoy the warmth of the fire pit in comfy Adirondack chairs.
*PLEASE NOTE: Access to the main living area requires a dozen steps and may be difficult for individuals with limited mobility.

The boat launch (where you can use the inflatable tubes) is within walking distance, the beach and the pool require a short drive.
THE AREA
So close to historic downtown Jim Thorpe, home to outstanding shopping, restaurants, galleries, theater, wineries, and more. Explore the town with one of the many unique tours—on foot, by trolley, scenic railway, or even in a motorcycle sidecar! Rent a bike to hit the rail trail, hike one of the many scenic trails (the boulder field and Hawk Falls at Hickory Run State Park are a must!) or try your hand at whitewater rafting. And if you’re here to ski, the Lodge is within easy driving distance of multiple ski resorts (Big Boulder, Jack Frost, Blue Mountain).
In addition, Travel + Leisure magazine named Jim Thorpe as one of the best small towns in the US to see fall foliage, and there are options for leaf-peepers of all abilities. Hike the walking paths in Kemmerer Park, enjoy the views from the windows of the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway or blaze your own trail in the 6000-acre Lehigh Gorge State Park. The Jim Thorpe Fall Foliage Festival is held every weekend during the month of October, with delicious foods, spooky ghost tours, and seasonal specials from local restaurants, shops, and galleries.
