The vaulted great room features a wall of windows with unobstructed lake views, a propane fireplace, huge farmhouse dining table, large sectional and smart TV.

From May through October, the electric pontoon boat is available for relaxed cruises around the lake, fishing, and sunset rides. Check with the host for availability. The community has a 9 PM noise curfew, so please be especially respectful of the peace of the community when outside after this time.

The home sits directly on private Lake of Four Seasons in a quiet, family-oriented community in Drums, Pennsylvania. It’s a relaxed neighborhood where guests come for swimming, paddling, fishing and time at the beach rather than nightlife.

From booking throughout our stay, everything was easy and pleasant. The host obliged with every request and went the extra mile whenever he could. We added a few things that we thought we would need for kitchen implements or our own comfort only to find that everything we needed was there! The location is wonderful close to the community house which had a number of nice amenities, right on the lake with a beautiful dock, beach access, and lots of paddle boards, kayaks, and canoes available for our use. I asked about a hammock. The host said they didn’t have one, but would look into it and there was one up when we got there. We were a multi age family group, and everyone had so many wonderful experiences. The lake is pristine and clean with lots of birds swimming or flying around so plenty of activity without intrusive noise. All in all a wonderful time in a little slice of paradise!
