About this property

4 BR, 2 BA,WIFI,FIREPIT, FIREPLACE, GAS GRILL, SMART TV,BOAT SLIP,POOL, SLPS 9.

Thank you for your interest in our cabin at Lake Wallenpaupack!

This home was built by Marion and Albert Eckardt, the original managers of the Indian Rocks Community, originally purchased by my parents in 1965. Mark has made lasting memories at the Lake over the years. The original house was a ranch style home. In 1992, a tasteful addition was built by a craftsman from Chester County, and it blends well with the original
construction. The cabin is located on a slope under a canopy of mature beech, maple and oak hardwood trees, affording shade and wonderful views of Lake Wallenpaupack, located only 200’ from the front door.
Enjoy the fieldstone patio with your group, where you’ll grill on the Weber stainless propane grill, enjoy your meals and the lake views from the 8’ picnic table, and cap off the day by enjoying a campfire and roasting marshmallows and making S'mores! Enjoy the views, your favorite beverage, and conversation on the covered front porch, furnished with comfortable outdoor furniture. Bring your own boat, up to 24’L, and moor it in your own slip located directly across the road, in protected, no wake water, for only $35 per night additional (proof of boat registration and insurance required). Usage of the convenient boat launch, is included at no added cost. Enjoy the convenience of the no wake zone opposite the cabin, about 1.5 miles in length, great for the kayaking or canoeing enthusiast. Take a short drive to the beach, or to the outdoor recreational area where you’ll enjoy the heated outdoor swimming pool and kiddie pool, or play
tennis, shoot some hoops, or take a break and watch the children as they enjoy the playground. Walk to lake or pond fishing, too!
You will appreciate the rustic charm of our cabin, and also the modern conveniences that you are accustomed to: Air conditioning, WiFi, 46” Sony Bravia UHD HDTVS with expanded HD channels, HD DVR, DVD, well equipped kitchen (no dishwasher), with ample pots and pans for your all your cooking needs.
The cabin also offers a working natural field stone fireplace and electric baseboard heat with registers in each room. Have peace of mind during your stay as the property owner is environmentally-conscious, and
pays a higher rate for electricity by subscribing to 100% renewable wind energy at this property. You can rely on the fact that the owner enjoys and is very connected to the property, which translates to the property being continually cared for and clean! The guest reviews are non-incentivized and support the high level care the property receives and positive experiences our guests have! Mark is involved in nearly every cleaning of the home. Cleaning support is also provided by a dedicated wife-husband team who are paid living wages and care about the quality of work they do!
Come create your own mountain memories at a venue where the owner truly cares about delivering a quality stay and is responsive to you!

Family lake trip

The property was as-described, and Mark was a very communicative host from the day we booked back in January. We had plenty of room for 6 adults, a 4 year old and a toddler. We loved the proximity to the pond and the views of the lake across the street. We had a wonderful week!

House was fully stocked with everything you need for cooking grilling, etc.. we would definitely look back at the same house for our annual trip next year. The homeowner was helpful in every facet and was very fast to respond to any questions we may have had. Would recommend for sure.

Poconos vacation

Mark, the property owner is very nice, and easy to communicate with. We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The property is not really big, but the house is very clean and comfortable. We had 5 adults and 2 children in our group, and we were comfortable in the cabin. We would consider staying there again if we go back to the Poconos for vacation.

From the moment I booked this property, everything went amazingly well. Mark was very thorough with his instructions for checking in, finding things in the community, and checking out. He was very easy to communicate with and made sure our stay was great. The cabin was so cute and very comfortable. We had everything we needed while we were there, even many things that surprised us. There were 9 of us that stayed for the weekend and everyone had a great time. If we ever venture back up to the area, we’d love to stay again.

A week in the Poconos!

From trying to reserve the location up through leaving the property, Mark was courteous, thoughtful, and made the process easy and enjoyable. The property is beautiful and everything we needed was easily located. Plenty of wood for the firepit. We enjoyed morning coffee on the porch, watching the deer enjoy the tall grass by the lake and the hummingbirds enjoy the well-placed feeder. Thanks for helping our family create some beautiful Pocono memories!

By far the best owner I’ve ever rented from

Everything you could possibly need this owner has at the house. The description he gives of the items is excellent and very well detailed. His communication is the best! You would be silly to pass this property/renter up. This is my second time renting this property and we can’t wait to come back next year 👍

The house in well maintained great condition, a lot of space for everybody, comfortable mattresses, everything works and all that we need was in the house, great outdoor porch and backyard with huge table, lake views are the best. Nice community, pool is clean and lake beaches is near by. The owner is very responsive and gets back to you fast if you have any question. Thank you Mark for letting us enjoy your house. We'll come back again.

One Week at the Lake

We had a wonderful week at Lake Wallenpaupack . Great location to all of facilities at the Indian Rock Community. Having access to a beach, pool and playground available with the rental was great for our grandson , as well as the dock for boating on the Lake. Mark was very easy to deal with and gave us ample information to enjoy the home. The home was clean and the kitchen had all we needed to prepare meals . Having a washer and dryer on the second floor was very convenient. There was plenty of seasoned wood and kindling to enjoy a campfire each night . We would certainly come again to this home !

Vacation Delite

Spent our second summer vacation in a row in this wonderful spot. It was just as special as we remembered from last year. You don't want for anything at this cabin. Mark provides everything you could need and more. During this Pandemic the #1 concern is cleanliness. I never doubted for a second that we would find everything first class and we were not disappointed. We're already missing the beautiful view from the front porch and our evening campfires. Will definitely be returning!

Why they chose this property

My parents bought this cabin in the mid 1960's, when I was 5 years old. I have many fond memories of my childhood, our cabin, and the Lake. My parents worked hard to provide our family a vacation home to enjoy and be proud of. I always knew that it was important to keep the Lake in my life as I grew older. I fulfilled my dream of staying firmly connected to the Lake, and bought the cabin from my siblings in 2010. I am grateful for the compromise by my wife and daughter, as owning a second home comes with sacrifices. We have made subtle upgrades to the cabin, and I enjoy providing a great environment for guests to create their own memories!

What makes this property unique

The location of the cabin is great. There is convenience to the lake and the availability to rent a community boat slip for only $35/night, located only 200' from the front door of the cabin! The location of the cabin is also in walking distance of the complimentary use of the community Clubhouse and gym, fishing, lake swimming, and a short drive to the community heated swimming pool, kiddie pool, tennis and pickleball court, and playground. There are also pleasant views of the lake, especially after the leaves fall. Our cabin offers a blend of rustic charm with the modern conveniences of Wifi, HD cable TV, two new Sony 43" 4k UHD TVS, Blu-ray player, AC, and free long distance. The property is enjoyed and maintained by the owner. The property owner is hands-on, and is involved in the majority of house cleanings. The owner is assisted by a cleaning woman and her husband, not a service, who are paid a living wage. The cabin is cleaned to a level you would expect. The owner's reliability and life-long connection to this property translate into a commitment to the property that will assure satisfaction with your rental experience! Owner actually pays a higher electric rate and subscribes to the delivery of 100% renewable electric to this property. Electric supply to this property compliments of 100% wind energy!
