Gorgeous Setting!

This property was everything we expected and more. We had two families of older teens/adults, and the cottage was perfect for one of the families, the house for shared meals and hanging out. The main living space is quite large, and the view from there (and 3 of the bedrooms) is spectacular. The pictures don't do it justice. We enjoyed all of the outdoor spaces. The deck closest to the lake was the favorite, though. You could hear the waves lapping on the rocks, and it was so serene. Great sunsets, too! Overall, this was a perfect setting for gathering loved ones, recharging, and water activities. The owners and management were great, and we would definitely come back again.

Beautiful location, clean and spacious home

Our family enjoyed our week at the lake! It was a perfect house for a large group, four kids aged 4-7, four parents and two grandparents. The house was very clean and well equipped, we loved the views of the lake from multiple decks and privacy. It was a short drive to grocery stores and many fun family friendly activities, including a boat tour of the lake, theme park, nature center, short hikes and a fun day trip to the Steamtown national historic site in Scranton. We're glad we brought our life jackets for the kids as the lake is 20 feet deep off the dock. There is a beach that's close by with very shallow water (deepest area is maybe 3 ft deep), but it was murky so the kids just played in the sand. You cannot use the fireplaces pictured for insurance reasons so don't buy s'more stuff. There was a gas fire that you can use for ambiance. There are no boats that come with this property and couldn't find a place to rent canoes on this lake, but if you have someone in your family born prior to 1982 with boating experience you can rent a pontoon boat by the hour which we did and the family enjoyed. Internet worked well in both the main house and the cottage. Bring binoculars as we had fun spotting the bald eagle and numerous deer, chipmunks and foxes!

Perfect Houses

We absolutely loved our Lake Wally What vacation this year! The dock was so perfect for our boat and to fish from, and the main house was spacious enough for our family of 12 to hang out. Our family in their 20s loved staying in the cottage - a deer came right up to them and ate from their hand right outside. This was truly an incredible trip and an incredible property. I have absolutely no complaints and will consider them again for future lake trips for our large group. Oh, and excellent communication from the property manager, Abby. Thanks for making things so easy for us! Have a great summer.

Magical family vacation for 3 generations

What a beautiful property! Owners have thought of every detail. So kind of them to share this magical home with other families. Steps were expected and required caution but were a good workout. The separate cottage was lovely and perfect for a quiet Grandparent retreat. Property is located on the main part of lake so does get a lot of action and water can be rough. Views were incredible with magical sunsets. Eagle nesting nearby and frequently soaring overhead. Parking was great for our 3 cars but could not accommodate the boat trailer (maybe could have worked for a smaller sized trailer). We had pre arranged trailer storage at a local boat yard. Host was very responsive to any concerns. Would happily rent this gorgeous lakefront property again!!

Family Trip

The house was well-appointed, nicely decorated and very clean with great sunsets. Steps were a little too much for some of us. The inability to use the outdoor fireplace was unexpected and disappointing. We made good use of the cottage for the little ones who rose early. Overall we had a great time.

Incomparable!

We have all been absolutely spoiled after a week at this amazing home! I haven't seen other homes at Lake Wallenpaupak, but it's hard to imagine there are many (any?) that are as beautiful and comfortable inside and out. The owners have thought of everything when it comes to accomodating guests. Having a separate cottage for family members that might need a bit more quiet time is a wonderful bonus.

Beautiful lake house and views.

The house and deck area off the back were beautiful. The kitchen was excellent and well stocked. The views of the lake were perfect from every vantage point. A lot of steps to the lake but that gave us good exercise and wonderful views. Loved our week and Abby was so responsive to our questions.

Family Vacation at the Lake

We had a great week on the lake. The house and cottage met our family’s needs. There are a lot of steps so take this into consideration for your group. My only complaint was it seemed that the owner kept adding charges like for extra cleaning or linens. I would prefer knowing all of the costs upfront. Other than that place was awesome.

Three generations of family really enjoyed our stay at the lake! The house and cottage were perfect for 6 adults and 2 children, with plenty of space for together time and privacy when needed. The views were beautiful and decks well furnished. Hope to return when our grandsons are older!

Beautiful home, perfect for extended family

Lake Wallenpaupack was an ideal location for my family traveling from all directions (Upstate NY, Boston, Connecticut, and Philadelphia). The drive was not onerous on anyone, and we were all blown away by the property once we arrived. We had an amazing week, enjoying all three outdoor decks, and of course on the Lake. The house is well stocked with everything we needed, including firewood for the outdoor fireplace. Our group consisted of 8 adults and 5 children and we never felt cramped in the slightest, actually, the family room in the main house was the best common space of any house we have ever rented. Abby, the property manager was responsive and informative. I would highly recommend this property for a large family gathering, it exceeded our expectations.

Excellent house and property

Our group of friends (High school friends and families) get together every summer and this house was voted the best of 8 summers of rentals! The house was clean and very well stocked! There was toilet paper and paper towels, dish and laundry detergent, hand soap in the bathrooms and a nicely packed spice cabinet. Room for the kids to play video games and adults to watch movies. Comfortable beds and great swimming. Overall a great week !

Week of 7/18

Our families have rented multiple properties on the lake through the years. By far this home was our favorite. Very well appointed with exceptional outdoor space for all. The cottage was a big hit with our older children. If you are seeking a home away from home, this property is it.

Perfect!

This property is truly amazing. Our meshed family and their friends stayed with us. 12 people In all were more than comfortable renting the cottage along with the house. There was more than enough room. We have rented many properties mostly at the beach and I have never rented one that was so equipped with what we needed. I could have left more things at home. I applaud the fact that everything was already there for us. The views were amazing. We floated rafts off the dock and rented a 10 person pontoon for the day which easily fit into the slip. The kids fished off the rocks and the dock and caught sunnies, catfish and bass. They all enjoyed swimming, roasting marshmallows and playing games on the deck. Even Otto enjoyed the stay. This property has a lot of steps which would make it difficult for anyone who can’t maneuver them but don’t let it deter you. There isn’t a bad view anywhere you sit.

Beautiful home, minutes from Hawley, PA

The house is exactly as pictured - beautiful, clean, & with a well-appointed kitchen. Our family of 4 traveled with another family of 4 and everyone had room to spread out. The cottage was a bonus. The bedrooms in the main house aren't huge but we only were in the house to sleep. The main house has 2 bathrooms - the 1st bathroom in on the main floor right inside the door (useful in case you wanted to run inside from the water), the 2nd bathroom is on the 2nd floor with all the bedrooms. There is no master bathroom - so that might be a consideration if traveling with a mixed group that doesn't want to share a bathroom. It's important to note that this property is on the main channel of Lake Wallenpaupak & so the water is always a bit rough. There is not a beach-like entry into the water - rather very slippery large rocks that drop off quickly by the dock. We had 2 members of our party fall the first day. Additionally, this property has many, many steps. There are steps to get down to the house from the driveway (I'd guess 30.) Additionally, there are more steps to get from the main house down to the dock level (I'd guess 40). So, if you're traveling with small children or older adults, this probably isn't the house for you. Our kids ranged from 7-10 and the steps weren't an issue. The kids enjoyed the water off of the dock with life jackets on. Overall, the house is beautiful and the property manager is super-responsive. I'd certainly go back, but I might be tempted to find a property in a cove with a beach entry... especially if traveling with kids that want to play in the water.

An awesome week!

The house and cottage provided all we needed! The decks and dock is where we spent most of our time. We brought our boat, floats and fishing gear and spent the week floating, swimming, fishing (caught a 10 lb striper right off of the dock) and hanging out on the wonderful decks. It was very hard to leave.
