We had a family party of 11 and we had plenty of room for everyone. We loved the hot tub, sauna, firepit and the short walk to the lake where we kayaked, used our paddle boards, fished, and played volleyball. We also took advantage of the community pool. We hiked the nearby state Park and spent the week enjoying time with our family. We would highly recommend staying at this house. The host was extremely responsive and answered all of our questions quickly before and during our stay!

End of Summer Getaway

Took a 2 family mini-vacay before start of school with 2 children (age 8), 1 teenager, 3 adults and 1 grandfather. The house and location were fantastic! It was as described with tons of great spaces to separate for some peace & quiet (LOVED the screened in porch), or hang out together as a group. Would def return.

Loved this house and the settin

Our family stayed at the wonderful property for 4 nights the beginning of July. We found the house very clean at check in. This house is big with 5 bedrooms, a screened in porch, large decks and a play area and bar in the lower level.The setting is beautiful on wooded lot. We saw deer every evening and the children loved that. For us the biggest benefit was the small beach at Larsen Lake. We could almost see it from the house. My grandson loved swimming to the platform and back to the beach. We saw the pool and it was very large with lots of chairs. We did not take advantage of the pool because our grandson loved the beach.I recommend this property especially for families.

Lovely getaway surrounded by nature

The home was just as described. Lovely large home with all the amenities and perfect location right by the lake. Quiet, wooded neighborhood, perfect for long walks, sitting outside and relaxing in the hot tub. We were two families, total of 6. The house was just perfect, you could find space alone or gather with everyone in the spacious living room, downstairs recreation room, upstairs deck, screened patio or deck with large patio furniture. Would definitely recommend and come back!

Fantastic house and owners!

We rented this house for a couple families for an extended summer weekend and enjoyed ourselves immensely. The house was spacious and well furnished, and everything was as advertised. The AC units were more than adequate to keep us cool during a very hot and humid weekend. The cushions on the outdoor patio furniture could probably use some cleaning or replacing, but that's very minor. Overall we were very pleased with the house and the entire renting experience. Vicky (and Rami) were extremely helpful and patient with us every step of the way, especially working through the Big Bass Lake community registration process. We highly recommend this property for large family gatherings.

Amazing house that is fun for all ages!!

Had such an amazing stay with our family. There were 12 of us and the house had plenty of room! We created so many memories with the endless entertainment inside of the house. The host, Vicky, was very helpful and responded quickly with issues that arose. We would love to stay here again! Our only complaint would be the big bass lake association itself which was a pain to deal with. Also, we were told the indoor pool was closed for the summer which was super disappointing because it rained most of our stay. The price for the amenities was expensive for all of us and we did not get much use out of them. I would recommend to future guests to carefully decide whether to get the weekly pass vs. daily passes depending on weather and other things. Our wrist bands were not checked at the lake either but could be because of the weather as well. The pool (short drive from the house) was amazing though! Wish we could’ve spent more time there. Overall I would definitely recommend staying here! It’s an amazing house with an amazing host!

Wonderful house in an excellent area

Two grandparents, four adults and four children between the ages of 11 and 17 enjoyed this house for six nights. While the weather was a bit cool for July, we were able to enjoy the wonderful amenities provided by the house as well as the numerous activities in the region. The grandparents spent time every day in the sauna and hot tub, the kids enjoyed the arcade and video console in the basement, and the adults spent most of their time cooking and watching Olympics in the living room with the comfortable and abundant seating. We also enjoyed the beaches, beach volleyball, basketball, ping pong and wonderful pool in the community, and ventured out of the community for white water rafting and the Camelback water park. We enjoyed most meals in the screened in porch off the kitchen, although also ate meals on the very large back deck, which also afforded fabulous places to sit and rest. The neighborhood cat was ever-present, which we enjoyed. The house was tastefully decorated with many unexpected touches, and the kitchen was well-stocked with the essentials. The hosts were responsive to questions both prior to and during our stay. Overall an excellent holiday and we would welcome the opportunity to stay again!

Relaxing location great for families

This was our first stay in the Poconos as a family. The house was well-appointed and fit us and our kids as well as other family members. We really like the location, close to the little beach. We also drove to the pool on two occasions and that was great as well! There was enough space for everyone and we enjoyed the amenities that came with the house. The basement game room was a favorite of the kids as well as the nostalgic 40-somethings who searched for their favorite video games in the arcade. We played poker and did puzzles on the basement table. The firepit was perfect. The owner was very quick with responses to our inquiries and questions along the way. One note about the community (not having anything to do with the house or owners): we bought weekly passes, but you might be able to get away with buying a pass only on the day(s) you want to go to the pool. The beach and lake that were walkable did not have someone working there, so we did not have to show our passes. This might be based on who is available to work on a weekly basis. We also could not rent kayaks at the close beach and had to drive to the larger lake to rent them. It was a great time and the house is plenty large enough for extended family to share a great week in the Poconos!

We had a Wonderful Stay, but beware...

Our family had a great time at the house. The area was beautiful. We did some hiking, rafting, train rides, and enjoyed the entire Poconos area. The owner, Vicky, was extremely responsive to any questions we had. The ONLY issue we had was with the Big Bass Lakes community association. There are a lot of amenities available in the community, but apparently there are some amenities that are only available to owners. We purchased a bunch of passes to access the amenities, and were told immediately after the purchase that the indoor pool was under repair... and the fitness center was not available to us (a typo a brochure assumed it was). We asked for a refund and they refused to give us a refund, even though we had just purchased it. We had other issues with the community association regarding some of the other activities which really irritated us. Throughout it all, Vicky was great... even offering to reimburse us for a portion of the passes. We declined the offer... but the communities unreasonable actions really irritated us. It has left a bad taste in our mouth for that community.

Come for the house, not the community amenities

The house was well-equipped for a few families to stay here with small children and have a great time. There were plenty of pots/pans/dishware/blenders/waffle makers/insta pots/ kitchen appliances for us to cook every night. Theoretically, the house is located in a great community; however, the lake that is walking distance from the house was closed all week due to an e coli outbreak. As was the Tobyhanna lake nearby. The big bass lake was open, but the seaweed was out of control--up to the surface even in the middle of the lake--making swimming not so pleasant. There is a great community pool to use, but the people who worked at the administrative center lied and charged us more for weekly passes and keycards. They were very unfriendly and seemed upset about short term rentals in general. All said, we were content to spend time with ourselves in the house. We were able to grill, hang out in the hot tub, and the kids could play with the Xbox and old school arcade games. We also went on some nice family hikes in Tobyhanna and Gouldsboro State Parks as well as the Delaware Water Gap. And went kayaking on the Tobyhanna (we just couldn't swim).

Wonderful home for a family vacation

Home layout was great for multi-generation family to spread out for sleeping arrangements. Proximity to beach was terrific. Easy walk for morning or evening time at playground for the grandchildren, or quiet early morning walk for mom, and then afternoon time at the lake where our granddaughters loved swimming out to the raft and jumping in. Beach was never crowded. Great amenities in the home. Very family friendly.

Perfect New Year getaway. Our most relaxing family vacation yet!

We absolutely loved our New Year getaway in Rami’s beautiful home! We had 10 adults and 1 kid for the New year and the house was more than spacious! Everybody said they had a great time and my kid said he will remember this vacation. The owners are lovely people. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend staying here to any of our friends and family. 10 stars! Whenever I had a question for the owners they replied right away with an answer. Sauna, Pool table, and the Jacuzzi made the stay relaxing and enjoyable. Owners made sure We had everything we needed and more. House was spotless, with fresh towels and linen enough for 20 plus guests. I rate the whole experience with 10 stars. I couldn't have asked for better. I would highly recommend them. Thank you Rami for the beautiful House and making us feel at home.
