About this property

Private 30+ Acre Estate with its own 6 Acre Lake and one lane bowling alley!



Welcome to Lakeside Manor! This 30+ acre property is truly a step back in time! A long tree lined driveway leads to the 5,500 sq. ft. stone 1960's cape cod house. Upon arrival, there really is no need to leave, although there are fun things nearby to also enjoy! The most impressive feature of this vacation home is the 6 acre private lake. Guests will see the lake when entering the driveway but it also wraps around the back of the house leaving plenty to be discovered and explored throughout your stay. Another very unique aspect to this property is the basement which is over 1,500 sq ft. The basement offers a second kitchen with bar area, a large walkout patio area, large stone fireplace and a pool table. The most unique area in the house is the full sized, one lane, old fashioned bowling alley. Bring a personal pin setter along because this bowling alley is "old school" but works perfectly for all day fun no matter the weather outside! Lakeside Manor offers 7 bedrooms with beds for over 20 and 5 full bathrooms. The 30 acres are a combination of green grass, the lake, a creek that runs though a wooded ravine, a very small stream (great for small children) and farm land. There is a balcony, covered porch, and two patios all with great views of the water and the Blue Mountains a few miles away. The old dock has been restored which is perfect for all things lake related. There are many fish in the lake! Bring fishing rods and guests will be sure to have a blast catching bass, perch, crappies, and blue gills a plenty. (Catch and Release only, we want to make sure there are plenty of fish for everyone to catch) The lake has a steady decline from the bank and gradually deepens to around 20 ft in the middle. We have a few boats/kayaks for guests to use during their stay. Feel free to bring your own boats as well, whether they are for our small lake or for Blue Marsh Lake just minutes down the road. (Bring motorboats and jet skis for Blue Marsh Lake, not for use here).

The fall is also a special season at Lakeside Manor. The cooler weather in the fall and coloring leaves invite our guests to venture outdoors! Enjoy a nice hike around the lake or on the trail along the creek at the bottom of the ravine. Fishing and boating are as good as ever and also great pastimes during the fall months. And of course nothing can quite compare to a crackling camp fire as another brisk day comes to an end.

The winter season brings another opportunity for our guests to get away from it all and cozy up with family and friends in our 5,500 sq ft home. The spacious bedrooms and living area offer many options for group games and activities. Of course if there is snow on the ground, younger guests will love the hills for sledding and the numerous acres to explore and build snow forts. If it is a cold winter the 6 acre lake will completely freeze over! Too cold to go outside? Stay indoors and enjoy the pool table, large flat screen TV with many channels, and the one lane regulation size bowling alley! Also there are quite a few attractions in the area that can be visited year round including the largest Cabelas in the world, The Yuengling Brewing Co (the oldest brewery in the nation), and Christmas Village (where people come from all over to see their lights and decorations) and much more!

We are not having weddings at our property at this time. Thank you!

We do not allow check-in on Sundays.

Perfect vacation!

The house, lake and location were perfect for our family of 20! We enjoyed the lake everyday and appreciate all of the extras the host left for us to use! The paddle boards, kayaks and row boats were awesome! The downstairs with the bowling alley and games were awesome! Overall it was the perfect vacation! Thank you so much!

Memorable Family Reunion

We had the best week at Lakeside Manor. The house is so beautiful and has such a great layout. We thoroughly enjoyed all the property had to offer. Swimming in the lake, kayaks, exploring the river, cozy fires with smores at night and let’s not forget the ultra cool basement where many ping pong championships were held! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with our family. It was so perfectly stocked with anything you could possibly need.

The house was the perfect size for our family! We had 17 people and had beds for everyone! The property was huge and beautiful so we only left once for ice cream and once for pizza. The property has so many amenities we didn’t feel like we needed to go out! Kitchen was well stocked, and clean. The main space was a little echoey with all the kids we had, but it was a great layout and space! Owner communicated well!

Perfect for a family get-together

Our children are now spread out over Western NY (where we live), Wake Forest, Boston, and DC - this is the perfect location for us all to meet and enjoy time together. But the place is so much more than just a convenient location, it's a wonderful property with something for everyone! Looking forward to our stay next year already!

40th birthday weekend

We had a rather small number in our party (9) adults and one infant. The property is beautiful, providing picture perfect scenery out every window. All the amenities you need for a very comfortable stay. The kitchen and adjoining dining area are perfect for entertaining. Would definitely stay here again.

Excellent stay!

My friends and I rented this property to get together to celebrate the new year! We had an amazing time and couldn’t have ask for more from this property! The house had everything we needed, from plenty of bedrooms to a full entertainment basement. The house was clean and the large property gave us a lot of privacy. We would definitely consider renting this house again!

Early Christmas in Pennsylvania

This house was the perfect place to celebrate Christmas with family and friends. The kitchen/dining room is large enough to seat 20 guests and there is plenty of space for entertaining in the game room downstairs. Everyone wants to come back in the summer to enjoy the lake in the warm weather.

Perfect for our family reunion. Just right for the 15 of us.

So much to do at the house. Skating, sledding, cooking in great kitchen, bonfire with smore's, relaxing in main floor living room, pool, ping pong, bowling and more downstairs and even dancing with a guitarist and Flamenco dancer we hired for the evening - for my Mom's 80th. It was a magical weekend for all of us!!

Family Vacation

Exactly as described. Feels even bigger in person than the pictures. So much room to spread out and have family dinners, play games, walk the trails, relax on the lake. Plenty of kayaks , life vests, firewood, beach chairs. Very well stocked house, really clean and bright, gorgeous views from every room. Our family of 16 (ages 6-80) was very happy and comfortable there. Thank you for a relaxing vacation!

Incredibly beautiful home!

Our stay was absolutely fantastic! The home was beautiful, clean and well stocked. The owners pay so much attention to detail. If we even thought it, it was there. Plenty of supplies for all 20 of us. Kitchen was perfectly stocked with every and any pot pan, kitchen gadget, or utensil we could ever use. The trail to walk was super cute. Grounds were impeccably kept. Boat house had plenty of toys, life jackets and watercraft’s to use. The lake was very stagnant so we did not feel comfortable swimming but we spent hours on the water. Fire pit was a big hit for us and there was TONS of chopped wood ready to use. My favorite area was the dining room with a huge table that fit the whole family. We had a wonderful stay.

Wonderful family vacation

There were 9 adult family members and 7 children ranging from ages 16-3 months old. The lake was the focus of activity- over 50 fish were caught and released, the sandy beach was perfect for swimming and floating, and the canoe, paddle boards, and kayaks (and many life vests) provided hours of enjoyment. The one television set was never used during the 5 days because there was so much to do. Planning on returning in two years.

Another wonderful stay at Lakeside Manor

We have stayed at Lakeside Manor since 2015 - 7 times total - and every year it does not disappoint. The owners have made improvements each and every year which we have enjoyed seeing. The property - including the overall beautifully maintained outdoor space... lake, walking trails, etc. are a perfect get-away from our hectic daily lives. From reading a book in the hammock, spending time cooking, laughing, and eating with friends in the well equipped kitchen, to walking the spacious property the private, quiet location has been an ideal setting and location for our girls getaway (~15 40+ aged women). Enough rooms for privacy and great gathering space for social / community time. As mostly Philadelphia area residents, we previously would look for properties in the Poconos, and since we found Lakeside Manor we keep coming back. If you're lucky enough to book the property, you will not be disappointed.

Spectacular

From the moment I set eyes on this listing, I fell in love with its charm and all it has to offer. The owners are fabulous folks to work with and driven to provide the very best quality and service. Any minor snag was handled in a very courteous, efficient and kind manner and seemingly in the blink of an eye. Both home and outdoor spaces are meticulously clean, comfortable and inviting. Every thought is given to detail in making your stay relaxing, with bountiful seating, dishes, pots, utensils, 2 kid travel high chairs, towels, board games, you name it- all readily available. An extremely child-friendly environment both in and out doors. We had rain off and on, yet still fell hopelessly in love with all the stunning views, trails, fishing, boating, bowling and the more than ample space in and out doors to relax, roam, read, dine, or gather to share conversations. Never a question of needing a thing. The owners should pride themselves on their great concern for their guests’ comfort and enjoyment. For the 20 of us -ages 1-71 -it proved to be an extraordinarily delightful weekend.

AMAZING

This house and property is AMAZING... Soooo much to do inside and outside from hiking, swimming, boating, fishing, firepit, bowling, ping-pong, billiards, and board games... We had a rain day but never got bored... Kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans and utensils. Lots of counter space which made meals for our party of 14 super easy and between the table and bar everyone could eat together too... 3 total refrigerators and with multiple families this was very useful.. A starter amount of hand soap and toliet paper was provided, which was nice.. The lake is A M A Z I N G..... So entertaining... They have multiple kayaks, kids kayaks, canoes, paddlesboads and lifejackets this was awesome... Communication with the owners from booking, arrival then check out was great..... They provided check in info a few days before but then also made sure we got in ok and if we had any questions. At check out even wished us safe tavels home. I truely can't say enough good things about this property... We definitely found a hidden diamond and look forward to many more trips in the future.... THANK YOU for sharing your property with us.

This will be our home away from home

The property is amazing. My family rented the place with three other families and there was more than enough room. We rented homes in the past but this is by far the best place we have stayed in. What we loved the most was the outdoors. Having your own private lake was a bonus. We spent most of our days at the lake. There was enough canoes and boats for all the kids. We all brought our own lake floats too. There was also enough beach chairs and vests for all. What would have been great was to have a fridge down by the lake. We did bring down a cooler but we had to take multiple trips up for more drinks and snacks. Every kid had so much fun that they asked to come back again next year and so I booked it for next summer. The house had it all... we definitely will pack less stuff for next year since the owners provided everything we needed for our stay. The place was clean and every window had a great view. Man hunt inside and outdoors was fun for the kids. The basement was also a success for the kids and adults. Thank you sooooo much for having us stay at your beautiful home. Our only suggestion is a fridge down by the lake or even a bigger deck... but other than that we have no complaints. We can’t wait til next summer !!!!
