This property was very clean and well stocked. Our family enjoyed the outdoor experience also. The pond and the fire pit were a big hit with the grandkids. Our host was very informative and timely in responding to any questions we had. I would highly recommend this property to anyone. Already booked for next year.

We loved the beauty and tranquility of Lakewood Retreat! We wanted to enjoy a nature getaway with our family. Lakewood Retreat provided all we hoped for and more! Every detail was done with excellence. The home was clean, furnished beautifully, and stocked with items as described. The grounds were peaceful and lovely, with vibrant landscaping, a well-built fire pit, including lawn chairs, outdoor patio table and chairs, kayaks and a peddleboat, and an enchanting path around the lake. This was the perfect place to relax with family and be refreshed, surrounded by God's creation and resting in a wonderful home. We hope to come again soon!

Lovely home!

We had such a good time. The weather was kind to us so we spent all of our time on the porch or by the Fire ring. Had some pretty serious Corn Hole competition as well. Comfortable, peaceful and very well appointed!

Loved staying at this property! The pond with the kayaks and paddle boat made it so much fun for the kids. The porch is beautiful and we used the fire pit every night. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. When we stay we will probably rent the extra space above the garage so we can have 2 showers to use. Not having an upstairs shower was the only downside as none of us used that large tub. Made getting ready for church a little challenging. We had a wonderful time though. The location was perfect for us.

Beautiful property.

Our family of 3 generations stayed for a short "cabin" getaway. It was a beautiful home and a fantastic stay. It was quiet and there was enough games and outdoor activities for the entire family. Our group would highly recommend.

Lakewood Retreat

Thank you, we had such a lovely weekend! The house and property were so nice, impeccably clean. We really enjoyed the French Creek State Park that was only about a mile away. The fall foliage was spectacular, very nice hiking options around the lakes. We will definitely stay again if we are in the area.

What a gem

We had to go to Pennsylvania for Mom's funeral and picked this place so our family could be together. It exceeded expectations and afforded us to be able to gather as a family for a meal after the funeral.Everyone loved the place and several plan to tell others about it. Can't wait to go back when the weather is better so we can enjoy it to it's fullest.
