*** PLEASE NOTE - scammers have been active. We only book our home through this rental site. If you have been offered our home outside of this site, it is not a legitimate booking and it will not be honored.

Offering our fully renovated family home with private, lakefront access on the lovely, quiet and relaxing Pines Lake in Locust Lake Village Community. Private outdoor shower.

A large and inviting deck provides ample space to enjoy your morning coffee and abundant wildlife, dine with family and friends, or relax on the outdoor sectional couch. A wooded pathway leads from the house to our private lakefront. In the Summer, two boats are waiting for you - a fishing boat and a canoe - along with two paddle boards. Fishing rods and life preservers are in the little red shed. We have a grassy clearing on the lakefront, which is perfect for gathering around the fire pit for s'mores and the fantastic sunset show every night. The grassy area slopes directly into the lake, with a sandy entranceway for easy entrance to the water. In the Winter, ice skating, sledding and skiing are available in the community. There are several nearby ski slopes, indoor waterparks and family attractions (see below).

Back at the house, in addition to the main living area, there is an additional living area / game room on the ground level with couches, TV and games, and a combo air hockey/pool/ping pong table (a great spot for the kids). Also on that level we have a laundry room with full washer and dryer. On the second floor / main level we have the kitchen and living room, 2 bedrooms and a full bath. On the third floor we have 1 more bedroom with a queen bed, a flex room with a queen bed, a full bath and a loft with a sleeper sofa (queen). All bedrooms have air conditioning and ceiling fans. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to prepare your meals away from home, including appliances (coffee maker - drip and Keurig, toaster, Ninja blender, crock pot, waffle maker), spices and cooking oils, coffee, tea, some condiments, and starter paper products. There are grocery stores 3 miles away including ALDI, as well as a WaWa, CVS, Dunkin' Donuts, Dollar General. There are a few restaurants and pizza spots within a few miles. Our location is a perfect blend of remote living with nearby conveniences. We have Wifi, TV with DVD / Bluray player which enables you to use Netflix and Amazon Prime, Firestick, Roku, and many DVDs for both adults and children.

The beautiful Pines Lake beach area is a short walk - 5 houses away. It is a lifeguard beach with a playground, picnic area, snack bar, restrooms and BBQ available for your use. The community has two other beaches, tennis courts, sport fields and basketball courts, a ski slope, and a sledding hill. There is so much to do in this area! The indoor waterparks are a hit with the kids: Great Wolf Lodge, Aquatopia at Camelback, Kalahari, and H20 at Lake Harmony. Ski Slopes: Jack Frost/ Big Boulder, Camelback, Shawnee. They have snow tubing at night as well. Outdoor activities: white water rafting, hiking, biking, paint balling, horseback riding. Girls' Weekends: Wineries, outlet shopping...

This is our family vacation home and it is very special to us. We spent months renovating it with new floors, carpeting, painting throughout, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, all new furniture, mattresses and bedding. We installed air conditioning, new heating units, a new gas fireplace, and updated both bathrooms. It's ready for your enjoyment!

July Vacation

House was great. The lake was fantastic! Everyone enjoyed having all the extras provided by the homeowner; paddle boards, boat, etc…Community was nice. Kids went to arts and crafts and played (won) bingo. We would definitely stay here again. VRBO fees are too high, not the fault of the homeowners. Only suggestion, trim back branches to have a better view of the lake.

We had an amazing time at Lauren's home!!

This was the perfect getaway trip. We sat for hours by the lake and around the campfire, and couldn't have asked for a better host. Lauren was quick to respond to all of my questions, and the check-in/check-out process was seamless. Thank you Lauren for letting us stay at your home. Hope to visit again soon :)

Lakefront Vacation Getaway

This is a beautiful and spacious home, sitting on a lakefront lot with an enchanting wooded path to a new dock. A full length deck with lounging area and tables to sit out and enjoy food cooked on the grill. We enjoyed the relaxing living room and the lower level recreation room. Plenty of room indoors and out. We would definitely come back again.

Perfect Family Vacation

Our cruise got cancelled and Jersey Shore was too crowded. My wife, 3 daughters (ages 10-13) and I decided to try the Poconos for the first time. We absolutely lucked out renting from Lauren in Locust Lake Village. The house was perfect with great attention to detail. The house is right on the lake! So peaceful. Coffee every morning on the deck that overlooked the lake- or on the private dock on the lake. Grilling every night (except for hotdog firepit night). Days were filled with fishing, boating, paddle boarding, swimming at the beach and activities thru out the community. The beach is a 1 minute walk OR we could paddle board/ boat from our dock to the beach and there is a boat "parking lot". Beach is perfect for kids. There are life guards and the water is clean and invigorating. No huge crowds and no big waves to worry about like at the ocean. Also- loved the outdoor shower at the house. We can't wait to experience this house in different seasons. The trees are beautiful and i bet the fall is breathtaking. Thanks Lauren for opening up your home to us to experience this little slice of heaven.... Sincerely, The Lankin Family

Perfect getaway

Perfect Poconos location for a relaxing and fun family vacation. The house is nestled in the woods, with the lake a 30 second walk down a well-lit path. The private lakefront area with new dock is perfect for fishing, watching the sunset and nightly fire. The owners provide so many extras that you don't need to leave the property. Paddle boards, rowboat, canoe, game room with air hockey and pool, many games, and several areas (front lawn, backyard and driveway area) for outdoor recreation. Even though you don't need to leave, the sand beach of Pine Lake is a quick walk down the street. The house itself is well-appointed with thoughtful touches throughout. Plenty of room for a family of 5 and 2 grandparents quaranteaming. The owner was super responsive to any questions or issues we had. Best VRBO we've rented.

A great stay!

First let me say that this is our 3rd Pocono rental and we have rented elsewhere before that, this was by far the cleanest rental we have ever been to. Even the deck was swept and not a cobweb to be found. We loved the house, down to the decor. The kitchen would feel a little tight once we got dinner on the table for the kids but were still cooking for the adults. Not much cabinet space for our food but Lauren's baskets helped us stay organized and we had all we needed in terms of plates/utensils, etc.,as well as basic cooking supplies. The fridge was deep so no problems fitting all of our cold goods. We made daily use of the paddle boards provided and also brought kayaks from home. Very easy entry off the dock. We enjoyed the sunset views from the middle of the lake every evening, though you would get the full view from the dock/back yard if you preferred. The kids liked to ride their bikes around or walk to the beach when they were not using water toys. We sat by the firepit each night and enjoyed the quiet. On a rainy day we took a trip to Kalahari Water Park and also hiked one morning at Hickory Run State Park, both in close proximity. The guys golfed one day at Split Rock and loved it. If rain kept us from having a fire at night, we played games in the basement where there was an option for pool or air hockey. Again, I can't emphasize enough how clean this place was, even down there! Lauren checked in shortly after our arrival to see if all was well and she was reachable via text if we needed her. Community check in was quick and easy and the staff was very friendly. Neighbors were very friendly. We had a great vacation! Traveled with 4 adults, 4 children.

Beautiful

The house had everything we needed and more important for me it was clean and well kept and easy to maintain during the trip. The kids had their space downstairs. Most of the trips around the lake were on the paddle boards. It was so nice to have more than the one board we transport from home. The kids spent more hours than I can count on the lake's inflatable structure and we took advantage of some of the lake community activities like the morning kids crafts and the movie night. We were able to bike throughout the community pretty easily. I was looking forward to the outdoor shower and even though the walls were a bit low for taller folks I was able to hang a towel to get the privacy needed. It was a good blend of activities and relaxing. The area of the Poconos was different than where we normally stay and we took advantage. Wawa was a 10 minute drive away for filling up and getting a quick breakfast to go especially convenient the day of check out. We spent a day at Camel Beach but went to Kalahari for our second mini golf excursion. Our first round of mini golf was less than a mile from the lake community. Our children want me to drive all the way back from home just to visit the Junction Ice Cream stand. Their selection of ice cream and ice cream treats is fantastic and they happily went out of their way to make sure my daughter with a peanut allergy could have a peanut free experience and have ice cream. We stopped there every chance we got. The same vendor had a selection of ice cream and treats at the sandy beach a couple doors away too. We would have done the cameback ropes and zip line or the kalahari ropes courses instead of the water park but our youngest wouldn't give it a try. On the only rainy thunderstorm filled day we drove to Stroudsburg for a traditional escape room. Not one or our better escape room experiences but still fun. We could have easily stayed in the house there was plenty of space and the kids were happy with all the games in the basement but we love escape rooms so since we were close and had time we went.

Perfect Pocono family vacation site

There was nothing about this experience that didn't exceed our expectations! We are a family group ranging in age from 10 to 74 and each of us were very comfortably accommodated in the house. The house is quite spacious so that we never felt in each other's way regardless of where we were in the house. ( Also well air conditioned when needed, so physically comfortable). Two tv's and games galore (including air hockey!) provided plenty of entertainment for the little time we actually spent inside the house. The adults loved the huge deck in the back of the house that overlooked the dock and lake and we spent countless hours 'hanging out' there. A few quick steps brought us to the dock and beautiful serene lake where we swam, fished and used paddle boards - All without having to leave the property for equipment since our hostess provided all the necessities to do this! Our 10 year old especially loved the beach, which is in walking distance of the house, where there is a water slide, raft, etc..There are also planned activities in the community for all ages, so never a lack of things to do here. I must say our hostess thought of everything in preparation for having 'guests'. We arrived to a lovely 'Welcome basket" and a home that was super clean, always a concern of mine when renting .. I didn't have to break out any of the cleaning supplies I was prepared with!..the 'frig was stocked with things like mayo and ketchup, there were plenty of starter spices , paper towels, bathroom tissues, soaps and shampoos etc., so very few trips to convenience stores for anything. This is the first time we have been to the Poconos as we usually spend our summer vacation in RI . Having been accustomed to ocean breezes, we were concerned it might not be as comfortable on a lake in the middle of the summer. What a pleasant surprise to find out the mountains and lake actually provided days and nights that were cooler and less humid than in RI on the water, or at home this time of year. I would unequivocally recommend this property to anyone looking to spend time in the Poconos with a large group. Can't imagine how you couldn't have a good time there!

Wonderful lakeside rental

This is a great rental for summer beach fun with kids! The rental is 6 houses down from a community beach perfect for kids young and old. We had great fun using the canoe, jumping off the AquaGlide and building castles. The house was stocked with everything we needed and the owner was kind to provide us with a list of activities going on during the July 4th week. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Lauren

We live in Philadelphia and wanted to create mountain memories for our children. We bought this home in December 2016 and have been renovating it ever since. Now it is our favorite place to be! We hope you will enjoy it and take care of it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We previously vacationed in the Poconos area and loved the surroundings and the proximity to Philadelphia. We want our children to grow up learning more about the outdoors, skiing, fishing, etc. We fell in love with this house as soon as we walked outside and saw the wooded area and the lakefront access. The interior needed a lot of work, but the outside made it all worth it!

What makes this property unique

The home has some interesting history. It was owned by three Catholic priests from Philadelphia who shared it for fishing and communing with nature. Although many of their personal religious effects have been removed, you may notice painted Roman numerals on some of the trees. It is a walking "Stations of the Cross." It's fair to say the property has been blessed!
