We loved this lakeside home. Our kids were down by the lake every chance they had. Otherwise they were in the hot tub, playing games in the game room, or stoking a fire in the fire pit. We had a wonderful stay!
The view of the lake and the hot tub was great. It’s a great getaway spot for friends or family and there are nice spots to hike around the area too. And they had everything you need there like towels to even plates and silverware. Great Spot!

Overall, the property was very nice. Plenty of room and we enjoyed ourselves. Two towel racks fell off the wall, and one of the toilet tanks was a little loose. Otherwise, everything else was great!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're really glad to hear that you and your group enjoyed the house and its location for exploring the Poconos. We appreciate your patience with the hair dryer situation and were happy to get replacements to you. Hope to have you all back again soon for another great stay!
We stayed with our family for the week and had a lovely time visiting the area. Rooms were as described, with comfortable beds and enough space for everyone, including bassinet and pack-n-play for baby. The host was responsive to all of our questions and provided clear instructions for arrival and departure. The house is very close to one of the lakes and would be a great spot in the Summer. The gated entrance could be a better set up, but overall a good spot!

Great home with best location in Penn Estates.Clean, quiet, spacious, comfortable home in Penn Estates. Includes all the amenities one expects (wifi, satellite TV, game room, hot tub, fire pit) and excellent communication with the owner. Located just across the street from the beach and a close drive to the pools and other community facilities. Easy drive to shopping and other Poconos attractions. We’ve been VRBOing for 15 years, and this property is near the top.
