We had an excellent stay at this property in Honesdale with our family of four and our dog. The grounds were beautiful and spacious, perfect for morning walks and relaxing evenings on the deck overlooking the water. The home was clean and well-equipped for a comfortable stay. If you're planning to cook or bake, consider bringing some disposable foil cookware—easy to grab from a nearby grocery store.Leonard, the host, was incredibly responsive and helpful, with clear directions and great local tips. The location was ideal—close to hiking trails, the town of Honesdale, and other charming nearby spots. The property exceeded our expectations, and we’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway.

Good time

We found this house after the owner of another place cancelled on us. They had sold their rental. Leonard answered our request right away. And let me tell you he is the most down to earth person you will come across. He answered all our questions. Gave us directions on how to get there because gps will and did put us in the wrong place. The house could use a few updates but it is exactly what he said it is. Very quiet and the fishing is excellent. The sounds of the frogs and the sight of deer was so nice. We will definitely be back. Thank you Leonard.

2025 Fishing Trip

My sons and I have been traveling to this area for Trout Fishing for 5 or 6 years. We have been renting from Leonard for most of this time. Property is in great location & condition, well maintained and stocked with most necessities. We enjoy fishing in the pond on the property when not visiting the local streams for trout. Had to make last minute change to our rental dates and Leonard went out of his way to accommodate our request. Already planning to return again next year.

My husband and i stayed here with our dog. We all had a great time. The house was clean and the property was beautiful. Theres a lot of mowed land for our dog to run/play and my husband loved going out on the lake to fish.

DO NOT BELIEVE THE GOOD REVIEWS

This place is dirty,dirty,dirty. The deck ripped my socks as soon as I walked on it. Terrible deck. The back side of the house is infested with yellow jackets and wasp nests my dog got stung and wasn’t himself the rest of the trip. The pond is gross. No swimming hole. The fishing wasn’t very good as listed in the reviews. The oven didn’t work, the fridge was leaking making the floor soft around it. Place smells of mold and there is mold on some of the interior walls.the kitchen floor is scary to walk on certain spots it flexes and has a big cut in it. Had one roll of toilet paper in the place, one trash bag, the oven didn’t work so we tried the grill which the propane was empty, the hose on the house was off and the owner lied to me the first day and said it should be on but the next day he told me the plumber didn’t turn it back on from the winter. Wanted to wash out the kayaks.ITS JULY!! There was a huge pile of trash on the front porch that wasn’t removed till I called and complained about it. Leonard is not good with communication and kinda not friendly like it seemed. It’s like we were bothering him and when he did show up he didn’t announce himself and just started spraying the deck area with a can of bee spray. When I told him about the yellow jackets and the wasps, he simply said “well that’s Mother Nature”. We couldn’t enjoy the deck during daylight.no curtains on any of the windows so the wife didn’t feel comfortable. Too much money DON’T BOTHER!!!!!! NEVER AGAIN!!

Most amazing weekend ever!!

I absolutely loved everything about our stay, the house is absolutely beautiful. Communication with the owner was outstanding, very friendly! Has everything you need. Fishing was amazing i love the row boat me and my fiancé caught so many fish. I brought my dogs as well and they had an amazing time. They loved running in the big field and even went in a water a bit, we will 100% be back our new favorite place to stay!!

We had a relaxing and great time. House was a good size for the seven of us. The lake is beautiful and the property was as well. The only issue we had was the grill on the deck was not usable as the whole bottom was missing. Thanks for a great family vacation.

The view of the lake was amazing, and the large property was good for our dogs to run around. The deck needs some maintenance on part of it. Location was nice, not on top of other homes which is great.
