Great Vacation
Another great vacation in the Poconos. Nice quiet lake and great for kayaking - not too big. Great for walks to "the big lake" and around the "small lake". Nice snack bar with very good ice cream. Close to markets and restaurants. This was our 2nd stay at the house and we would come back. Cindy (who manages the rental) is great to work with.

Family week
House and location were perfect for family to unplug from screens and technology for a week. Lots of time on the big lake as we rented a boats a couple days. When we were not out there we were either paddling to the beach or hanging at the pool in the community. All were very welcoming and had a great time!!

Beautiful location
The lake area is beautiful and there is a lot on offer in the community to do. The lake view is amazing and, had it not poured during our visit, there’s a fire pit right near the lake for use. However, the spiders inside the home (and nested in the grill) were out of control. I understand this is a lake home in October, but we’ve booked a similar stay every fall for the last several years and never seen anything like it. I would highly recommend the owners have someone do a spider sweep if the house has been empty a while before a booking.

Relaxing family vacation spot
A great secluded spot for a family vacation to "get away from it all" offering all that relaxing lake life can offer. The rustic cabin is perfect for our family and we enjoy all of the neighborhood activities. We also enjoy the swimming dock, fire pit, screen porch, kayaks, floats and (hidden) poker table!

Another great trip for the second year in a row!
This is my family’s second year in a row staying at this property. We absolutely love it here and will hopefully stay at the property for many, many more years to come. We can’t say enough good things about staying at the property. The booking agent,Cindy, is very helpful, responsive and pleasant to deal with. The family that owns the property are great too! The views are amazing, accommodations are great, the layout of the house and property are perfect, etc. We’ve brought home so many happy, lifetime family memories. Staying at this property is one of the most relaxing and adventurous trips we’ve ever had. We’re only home a few hours and we miss being there already. We may even try to stay during the fall / winter, as I’m sure the views are absolutely breathtaking and we’d like to light a cozy fire in the fireplace. Highly recommend property. Thanks for having our family at your property again!

Perfect Escape
If you are looking for a place to disconnect from your busy life. This is the place to do it. We stayed in September and experienced cool fall weather. We had a great time roasting marshmallows by the fire pit over looking deer lake. We fished from the dock and caught some nice bass and a perch. We relaxed on the patio overlooking the lake while reading books. We also had fun taking the row boat for some trips around the lake. The community was a great place to go for daily walks exploring Lake Wallenpaupak and other parks nearby. All and all it was a great relaxing vacation where we could escape from our busy lives. Great place to relax.

We love it there. So peaceful. Having access to the kayaks is great. We floated on tubes from the dock. Fed ducks and deer. The deer took food out of our hands. Most definitely going back.

Cozy house on a quiet lake
This was our second time staying at the Bruno house. We really enjoy the comfy house and the property that is right on the lake in a quiet community. Great lake views from the kitchen and family room space, plus deck and patio. The baseboard heat in all rooms worked great and kept us plenty warm on unusually cold fall days. They supply wood for use with the outdoor fire pit and wood stove. As a guest in the community you also have access to "the big lake" aka Lake Wallenpaupack, which isn't far from the house. There are hiking opportunities nearby and it is a short drive to Hawley and Honesdale. We'll be back again. Thank you Bruno family for sharing your lovely home with us!
