Blissful Bear Lakeview Chalet, Hot Tub, Fire Pit, EV Charger & Pet Friendly
WELCOME TO THE BLISSFUL BEAR LAKEVIEW CHALET
Vintage charm, forest calm, lake views and sunset bliss await at the Blissful Bear Lakeview Chalet—a professionally styled, 1,800-square-foot woodland retreat directly across Arrowhead Road from Arrowhead Lake and an easy 1/3-mile stroll to Beach 3.
There’s something magical about the Blissful Bear Chalet. Warm woods, vintage landscapes, whimsical woodland details, soft layered bedding and beautifully chosen pieces give every room its own personality.
The chalet invites you to slow down and unwind—to prepare meals together in the beautifully equipped kitchen, linger around the table, put on a favorite record, gather for movie nights by the propane fireplace, curl up with a book and savor the simple pleasure of being together.
Designed for up to 10 guests, Blissful Bear offers four individually styled bedrooms plus an open sleeping loft with a twin daybed and pull-out twin trundle, 2.5 bathrooms, year-round heating and air-conditioning, a private hot tub beneath a hard-roof gazebo, a wood-burning fire pit, two kayaks, a separate laundry room and a ChargePoint EV charger.
Enjoy peaceful lake views from the living room, dining area, loft, expansive front deck and hot tub. One of the chalet’s loveliest surprises is the evening light, when sunset colors filter through the trees and reflect across the lake.
From personality-filled bedrooms and a cozy loft to beach days, kayaking, hot-tub evenings and fireside gatherings, Blissful Bear was created to feel special for every age—the kind of place guests are excited to arrive at, reluctant to leave and already dreaming of returning to.

INSIDE BLISSFUL BEAR
The Blissful Bear Lakeview Chalet feels warm, collected and restorative—a deeply cared-for retreat where vintage charm, woodland character and modern comfort come together.
THE GREAT ROOM
The open-concept great room is the heart of the chalet, with soaring cathedral ceilings, abundant natural light and peaceful views through the trees toward the lake.
Settle into plush leather seating after a day outdoors, warm up beside the remote-controlled propane fireplace, gather for a board game or enjoy a movie night on the large Samsung flat-screen TV with soundbar.
A wool rug, vintage landscapes and woodland details add warmth. The open loft above keeps the room light and welcoming, while individually controlled mini-splits provide heating and air-conditioning throughout the seasons.
THE KITCHEN, PANTRY AND DINING AREA
Designed for shared meals and unhurried mornings, the kitchen includes quartz countertops, stainless-steel appliances, generous preparation and storage space, under-cabinet lighting, coffee essentials, cookware, dishes and serving pieces.
A full pantry provides bakeware, serving trays, food-storage containers, a slow cooker, waffle maker, mixer, cast-iron griddle and shatter-resistant dishes for outdoor dining.
Gather around the elegant Pottery Barn dining table for breakfast, family dinners, puzzles, board games or lingering conversations. The dining area enjoys some of the chalet’s loveliest lake views and is one of our favorite places to watch the light change through the trees.
MUSIC BRINGS EVERYONE TOGETHER
A vintage-style record player and growing collection of albums await on the dining-room buffet.
Put on a favorite record while preparing dinner, gathering around the table or watching the sunset from the deck. Music has a wonderful way of bringing generations together—and some of the best moments at Blissful Bear may begin with someone choosing what to play next.

About the host
Hosted by Joelle Waterkotte
We’re Joelle and Peter—hosts who genuinely love creating beautiful, welcoming spaces for others to enjoy. Hosting is something we’re deeply passionate about, and we approach it with the same care and attention to detail that we value when we travel ourselves.
Outside of hosting, we love being active and connected to nature. You’ll often find us hiking, kayaking, or out for long walks with our two Wheaten Terriers. We also enjoy quieter moments—reading, watching movies, and spending time with our family, especially our two grandchildren, who bring so much joy to our lives.
Professionally, we’re both in real estate, which naturally extends into our love for thoughtfully designed homes and meaningful spaces. Every property we host is personally curated—from the furnishings and artwork to the overall feel—so that it offers more than just a place to stay. Our goal is to create an experience that feels comfortable, inspiring, and a little bit special.
We’re hands-on owners who care deeply about our guests’ experience. While we respect your privacy and aim to make your stay seamless and easy, we’re always nearby and happy to help if needed.
Whether you’re here to relax, explore, or simply enjoy a change of pace, we hope your time here feels like a true retreat—and one you’ll want to return to.
Why they chose this property
We’re Joelle and Peter, a husband-and-wife team from Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. We’ve been welcoming guests for nearly a decade, and hosting has become one of our favorite parts of life. Blissful Bear is our own family getaway, too, and we love sharing a place that means so much to us.
We’ve been married for 35 years and have spent much of our working lives together in real estate. We both enjoy creating welcoming homes, and we’ve chosen the furnishings, artwork, and little touches at Blissful Bear ourselves. Our hope is that you feel comfortable from the moment you walk through the door.
When we’re here, you’ll often find us kayaking, hiking, or walking our two Wheaten Terriers, Norah and Duncan. We’re just as happy settling in with a good book, playing a board game, or watching a British mystery. Time with family—especially our three grandchildren—is what we treasure most.
We know how much a few days away can mean: time to slow down, spend time together, and enjoy the things that get squeezed out of everyday life. That’s what we come here for, and it’s what we hope you’ll find here, too.
As hands-on owners, we care about your stay and are just a message away if you need help or a recommendation. We’ll give you space to make yourself at home and hope you leave with happy memories—and a little bliss to take with you.
What makes this property unique
Blissful Bear brings together lake views, sunset evenings, and a home filled with warmth and character—all on a spacious double lot across from the lake in Arrowhead Lake.
The front deck is one of our favorite places to slow down, whether over morning coffee or while watching the sunset over the water. There’s room to spread out outdoors, and our seven-person Wellis Houston hot tub sits beneath a covered gazebo—a lovely place to unwind after hiking, kayaking, or exploring the Poconos.
Inside, cathedral ceilings and large windows create a bright, welcoming gathering space. The generously sized kitchen makes cooking together part of the vacation, with plenty of room to prepare a family meal or linger over breakfast. When the evenings turn cool, the gas fireplace adds to the chalet’s cozy feel.
We’ve put care into the details you’ll live with during your stay: comfortable beds, soft blankets, vintage woodland artwork, and furnishings chosen for both comfort and character. With four bedrooms plus a sleeping loft, there’s space to gather and room to retreat with a good book. It’s our own family getaway, too, and we’ve furnished it with the things we appreciate when we travel.
Beach 3 is a short walk away, with lake access, a playground, and a covered pavilion. The seasonal Island Pool is just beyond, making it easy to enjoy the community’s outdoor amenities close to home.
Whether your ideal day means getting out on the water, spending time with family, or simply enjoying the view, Blissful Bear gives you a welcoming place to come back to—and plenty of reasons to stay awhile.
