Exceeded expectations

Our good friends daughter was getting married at the Fern Hall Estate and we did not like the hotel options provided. We couldn’t have had a better weekend. The house is bigger and better than the listing shows. We were a party of 8 adults and a 1 year old and theee was plenty of room for all. The house was furnished beautifully.

Great House and Great Location

Family of 12 stayed here for holidays. Enjoyed the great views and ample living spaces for everyone to gather or separate as needed. Loved the tankless hot water heater to support everyone taking showers at random times without worrying about running out of hot water. Enjoyed having an open garage bay to pull in to unload the cars out of the weather. Thanks for the great communication and supporting our arrival and departure.

Our party of 5 had a great weekend. The views of the lake and sunsets were breathtaking. The well-stocked and spacious kitchen was so nice. James was a pleasure to communicate with. There is a restaurant walking distance at the nearby hotel but hours are limited and reservation required. Carbondale is a short drive with restaurants, grocery and other shopping. We hope to go back soon!

We are currently living in NJ, but venture to our home in this beautiful part of Pennsylvania throughout the year for family vacations. With so much to do every season, we love coming. We decided to share our home with others so that they may enjoy what keeps us coming back!

Why they chose this property

With beautiful lake views, you can relax and destress. All while having the activities to have a fun filled day.

What makes this property unique

You can experience lake and mountain life all year long. With several mountains in the region, during the winter you can ski, snow tube, or bring your ice skates and go skating on the lake. You can also go ice fishing on the lake! During the warmer months, the Lake Rights for renters include the following activities: kayaking(provided), swim, paddle board, or fish off the dock(roughly 150feet from home), however you do not have access to the gated areas for picnicking. In addition there are tremendous amounts of walking/hiking trails, hunting and end the day with our fire pit to make s'mores or relax! There are wineries and festivals in the region throughout the year! There is Lahey Fun Park for go-karts, mini-golf, arcade and bumper cars, as well as local golf courses to play(fees not included).
