About this property

Lodge at Bear Creek Lake, 6 miles to Jim Thorpe. Use of golf cart w/7 day res.

Welcome to the Lodge at Bear Creek Lake!
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 a 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, 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. 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 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 games, bikes, and beach chairs of all sizes. When evening falls, enjoy the fire pit in comfy Adirondack chairs.

***10 beach/pool passes and 2 parking passes are provided so you may enjoy the Bear Creek Lakes community amenities. Please return all passes to their original place before checking out. The beach is within walking distance, and the pool requires a short drive.

Please note: Access to the main living area requires a dozen steps and may be difficult for individuals with limited mobility.

THE AREA
So close to 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.

We LOVED the property! The home is spacious and stunning. A log cabin straight out of a novel. Most things in the home seem to be new such as, the carpet, the interior wood, the furniture, and the bathroom fixtures. The kitchen is fully stocked with all appliances you will need. The home has so much wildlife right in your backyard. We saw a range or birds, cute chipmunks, bunnies, and wild deer. Our daughter was in heaven on our walks in the yard and around the neighborhood. There were multiple playgrounds, outdoor pool, and the lake beach all minutes from the home. We took advantage of the grill to cook dinners at home but also drove a short distance (~10mins) to Downtown Jim Thorpe. We loved the hawksfall short hike with kids! There's an icecream spot, scoops, a short walk away. Try out Perch for breakfast and head to the 100 mile lookout! We came for the Jack N Jill marathon and this house was everything we needed to mix business with pelasure!

Highly recommend
Exceptional stay! The property owner/manager’s communication was excellent, ensuring a smooth experience. The home was immaculately clean and well-stocked with essentials, providing ample space for my family. Its location within a private community offered peace of mind, with frequent security rounds. The pristine lake added to the charm of the surroundings.

What a lovely getaway!
Loved it! This is a cozy, sunny, very spacious (three-floor) deluxe “cabin” with lots of amenities. The quiet location in a lovely private community of other large, equally well-maintained houses is just right—only a short walk to the lake! The kitchen is perfectly appointed, the furniture updated and comfortable, the beds comfy. Lots of nice touches—I like their taste, which never happens! The light in the entire third floor is great, with skylights in every room. We made most of our meals there, which is fun with the open concept plan to the spacious living room. We used the terrific new grill and loved spending time on the beautiful porch. It has everything you want for a quiet getaway with friends or as a launching pad for day trips. Sunset views from the living room/kitchen are amazing! Can’t wait to go back to take advantage of the private boat launch and swim in the lake and neighborhood pool! Ideal for families with children. (We sampled two out of the THREE neighborhood playgrounds.) And such a quick, easy drive to hiking and the wonderful cultural attractions in charming Jim Thorpe. As I sat in the living room, I was fantasizing about how great it would be for a ski weekend or to enjoy the foliage in the fall. I wholeheartedly recommend a visit, and we look forward to our return!

We started with a VRBO in North Cape May and had so much success we thought, lets do another!! Our cm VRBO property number is 1152520

Bear Creek Lakes is a tranquil, private, well cared-for community full of amenities. We fell in love with it the moment we drove in. The spring-fed lake is gorgeous and pristine. We feel so lucky to share it with our guests.

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location. I know it sounds silly, but it's true. Near historic downtown Jim Thorpe with it's charming shops and train excursions, the ski resorts, white water rafting, beautiful mountain views, hiking in the gorge -- the area is very special and unique.
