About this property

Lake House Hideout in the Poconos; HOT TUB, KAYAKS, FIREPIT, DECK&GAS GRILL

This spacious lake house is located in the heart of the Poconos and within an amenity full gated community; minutes away to Poconos greatest attractions including Kalahari, Camelback mountain and Mt.

Enjoy mornings kayaking from a private beach or sunsets while roasting marshmallows on a lakeside fire pit. Large lakeside dock with table and chairs. Ramp to launch the kayaks. Fishing is possible from the dock but it is shallow so best to take the kayaks out for fishing.

Great Poconos getaway
A group of friends and I stayed here for a cozy winter weekend getaway, and it was the perfect setting for that. Hot tub and fireplace were a big hit, and the spacious living and dining room allowed us to all gather together. Would go back!

Perfect for what we needed
Comfortably accommodated our group of 8 (4 adults, 4 kids) & was relatively close to our camelback skiing activity. House was clean & kitchen had what we needed to cook & eat in house. Was great for our short weekend ski trip. Pros: - the house was clean & neat upon arrival - bathrooms, showers & kitchen were clean - plenty of space for our group of 8 - hot tub was clean, ready & easy to use - large table with plenty of chairs to eat at - living room couches were comfortable - kitchen had everything we needed to cook a few meals. - downstairs game room was great for the kids - VRBO landlord was reachable via text & responded quickly. - overall a very good experience for our group. 2 thumbs up! - driveway parking (off street) - welcome center to check in for access pass is open 24/7 Cons (just for an honest review): - narrow steps at front entrance made loading & unloading our luggage into the house a bit more difficult than I’d prefer. - small kitchen made cooking with more that 1 persons at time spatially challenging but was fine for our short stay.

Cozy home
My friends and I make an annual trip to the Poconos for a weekend of R&R. This house was perfect for that. It’s clean, cozy, and accommodating to large groups. The beds were comfortable and there are plenty of rooms. The lower level is a bit cold but some may like that. The hot tub is a wonderful treat. We had a family of deer checking us out as we were enjoying the hot tub. And the dining room table is HUGE. This was perfect for the amount of food we had and we were able to spread out. We barely left the house. We ate, made a fire, and reminisced about high school and life. It was just what we all needed. Jack was the perfect host. He was responsive and so welcoming.

Family Vacation
Our family of 10 including a 2.5 year old and an 8 month infant and two dogs enjoyed our stay. The hot tub and fire pit were a hit for everyone. There was enough space for all including beds and dining although the kitchen area is kind of snug cooking for our crew. Enjoyed everything but swimming and fishing from the dock are not an option as the water is only a foot or two deep. Thanx Jack for the use of your cottage for our family get together

Family vacation
We enjoyed our family vacation! There was plenty of room for our group of 8 and the crib was a bonus for the 19 month old. Everything was clean! We enjoyed the kayaks during the day and the fire pit and s’mores at night. Jack checked with us via text on our arrival day to make sure all was good. I would definitely recommend for a great family get away!

Great Stay
very nice house. Does have A/C but not central and some units can be loud. Would not have been a problem except of the baby. Lot of steps in the house. Toaster oven was broken. Door literally fell off. when we tried to open. Owner did offer to replace while we were there. Overall nice property and we did enjoy our stay. On a side note tennis courts in community were AWFUL. dangerous to play on.

Lake House
Lovely location with a dock on the lake. Our extended family with small children loved the lake, kayaking, roasting marshmallows on an open flame and easy walks to the pool. Thank you for the 5 tags - extra folks for the pool are $12 each. House is rustic but big enough for our crew of10. Would recommend bringing sheets and whatever special kitchen stuff you might need or asking if it’s there. Owner was attentive and communicative - no problems there.

Average
We had a decent stay but were disappointed with a few things. Mostly the fact that you’d have to pay to use the beach or pool in the community. The lake by the house is very shallow and dirty. The kids couldn’t swim there. So it was very disappointing we’d have to pay if we wanted to be able to be in deeper, cleaner water. We felt like this should have been included since we paid to stay in the community. Being unable to use the hot tub was also disappointing. It was pretty cool when we stayed and we would have loved to use the hot tub. The house itself was nice and clean and we enjoyed the house. The check in was a very long process so be prepared to wait for 30+ mins when you check in.

Magical Woodland House with Lake Views
This property was absolutely amazing! Plenty of room for all of us. The lake views from anywhere in the house are beautiful and bountiful! My partner and I enjoyed sneaking out of the basement door to enjoy our morning tea and kayaking on the dock while everyone was asleep. The dock was awesome (even had a ramp for the kayaks!) and the campfire on the shore of the lake was perfect for an evening fire and stellar views. The wildlife was abundant there too! The deer and fawns came so close! Ducks, frogs, i think we saw a mink maybe! You wont regret renting this property and the Host Jack was nothing short of accomadating and awesome. Will definitely be back!

Misrepresentative Exterior Photos and Disappointing Location
This home was adequate for our family group, having a nice dining area/living room where we spent most of our time inside. The room air conditioner on the upper bedroom level did not seem up to the job of keeping that area cool enough though, and the joined-twin king bed was not that comfortable. Beds in the very cool basement were comfortable, but I was very glad I had brought a white noise machine, since the intermittent loud noise of the nearby dehumidifier would have kept me awake. My grandkids loved learning how to play foosball on the basement table, an added bonus. The kitchen area is small but was well-stocked and fine for the one person in our family who enjoys cooking. The exterior situation at the house was a big disappointment however. I chose this home after many hours of searching for a place on a lake with a small sandy beach area where my young grandkids could play. While the photos still show a sandy beach here, it is actually now gravel (maybe to prevent the abundant geese and ducks on the lake from enjoying it too much?). The shoreline is extremely mucky and plant-filled, and the lake, as far out as we paddled in the provided kayaks, is quite shallow. Of the 3 kayaks offered for use, only one can make a trip out on the lake without taking on water through the holes in the bottom. After deciding to try the community beach, we were horrified by the incredible amount of waterfowl droppings that had been allowed to collect all over the sand and dock, making it totally unusable; this was cleaned up only once during our 6-day stay, to our knowledge. Due to staffing shortages we were unable to take out paddleboats from the dock even when it had been cleaned. Luckily the community pool and adjacent playground area were very nice, and the kids enjoyed spending time there most days. I had not been aware that this was a huge gated community, but we found enough other things to do in the surrounding area that our stay here was ok.

Spacious Place
Large house with lots of bedrooms and spacious rooms for eating and entertaining indoors and outdoors. Lake access for kayaking with fire pit is an added bonus. The lake is private and quiet and beautiful. The only negatives we found were that you cannot swim in the lake from the property's dock - too muddy - you have to walk or drive to the community beach - and the location of the house is on a very busy and noisy street. Cars/trucks/motorcycles often disrupted the tranquility of the place.

First off pictures on Vrbo website were a far cry from what it actually looked like, the lake area was overgrown metal and wood everywhere, broken furniture thrown like trash in the weeds, shows a sandy beach was none just rocks deck table that you wouldn’t let your dog eat off, front steps falling apart and when we contacted Vrbo on hold for 2 hours no help whatsoever,owner in New York sent someone to fix after the fact and a complete jerk,no one cared so we left. Trust me if you have high hopes for a nice property and great experience look elsewhere.
