Peaceful and Relaxing

We stayed at this house for a bachelorette weekend, the bride was overwhelmed with the property and so ecstatic! We had the best weekend and the house was close to Jim Thorpe town which was very convenient! The property owner was very quick to respond to questions and very helpful as we were not familiar with the area! The house was immaculate when we checked in, the process was very easy! The property setting os absolutely beautiful, the water and firepit area, all of it was just amazing! We've already talked about planning our next stay there! Thank you King Family for an amazing place for us to make memories!

We had a group of 12 adults for a long weekend at this property. Everything was as advertised. Everything on the property was of a nice quality including the hot tub, beds, firepit, appliances, etc. The dock is on a beautiful spot on the lake. I would definitely book again for a large group.

Perfect As Always

Linda’s house is becoming an annual trip for myself, my wife, kids, and my in-laws. Can’t ask for a better house in the Poconos - right on the water, beach for the kids to play, hot tub, pool in the community center, a variety of boats to choose from, and a 10 minute ride to downtown Jim Thorpe. Linda is great to communicate with. We’ll be back next year!

Family vacation

We stayed here with our whole family which included 4 families. Space was great and backyard with lake access allowed for plenty of space for kids to run around. Home’s boats and kayaks were great and it’s nice that life jackets are available as well. Homeowners were very responsive to questions we had regarding hot tub.

Wonderful family getaway

We can't say enough about our stay here. The kids were always occupied, with the boats in the lake, the foosball and ping pong tables, the pool nearby with pickleball and a playground, and Jim Thorpe so close by, we even enjoyed white water rafting. The house was very accommodating, and we saw deer and fawns every evening, and one time a fox.

Wonderful Place!

We had a wonderful time here celebrating our daughter’s 18th birthday and getting together with friends. We hadn’t seen in a long time. The hot tub is awesome with an automatic cover that just slides off so you don’t need muscles lol. The pool table has seen a lot of use, and is not level. If you’re looking for a championship play, it won’t do it. If you’re looking for a lot of fun and laughs, it’s great. There’s also ping-pong in a foosball table. Plenty for the kids to do. It was too chilly to take the kayaks on the lake as we had hoped, and there was a burn ban so we did not get to use the fire pit. But the property is wonderful. I definitely recommend it.

Beautiful home with beautiful view

We had a great time. Our goal for our annual family/friends ladies trip is to laugh, relax and have a good time. The home is well kept and has many amenities for everyone from kayaking, camp fire, hot tub, pool table and so on. You can sit and do nothing or get active and enjoy a beautiful view of the lake.

Perfect yearly trip location

Each year my friends and I plan a weekend without the kids and this place was perfect! Lake front property with only one neighbor who was t even there and quiet serene views! The house was just as we expected and it is amazing how they utilized the space. Everything was clean and beautiful. I have one small suggestion possible a little shoe holder somewhere Could be just us but with 14 people and no shoes in the house (which we loved!) but we had shoes everywhere 😂 regardless we loved this house. It’s one of our top contenders for next year. The huge open front yard with tall trees was a HUGE surprise. We play yard games a lot and it couldn’t have been a better setting for shade and privacy. Thank you for sharing your home we will likely return again!
