Lyndale - Unbelievable Lakefront Beauty - 5 bedrooms

THE SPACE
Welcome to the Lake!!
Get ready to soak up the sweet sunshine here in the Pocono's with a well-deserved stay at this delightful two story home located just steps from Lake Wallenpaupack! Access to the lake is down a flat pathway to the waters edge where Adirondack chairs and fire pit await you. Our dock can accommodate two boats and/or a few jet ski's or you can use the buoy to tie up to.

This relaxing retreat is comprised of two floors with three bedrooms on the main floor and two bedrooms on the lower level. Each floor has a full bathroom. The kitchen is fully stocked with every pot, pan, utensil, glass, plate or bowl you need to prep and serve the simplest of dishes to the grandest Thanksgiving dinners. If you wish to cook outside, there is a large Weber propane BBQ grill and a small Weber charcoal grill on the lower level under the screen porch. Enjoy cooking outside even in the rain.
There are two living rooms, each with a large flat screen smart TV's with cable or stream your favorite channels. Huge dining areas with tables and chairs for mealtimes or game nights and furnished outdoor spaces.
This property also includes a private washer/dryer to let you pack light for your trip, cooling air-conditioning by mini splits on the upper level only. Downstairs level has one portable AC unit in the hall to keep the downstairs cool and dry.

Venture out onto the large screened in porch and watch the sun set. There is a propane heater on the screened in porch and a wood fireplace in the living room for those chilly nights. You'll need to supply your own wood for fireplace and fire pit but we have plenty of propane available.

The family room is outfitted with game table, bar area with more dishes and glasses for more entertaining. There are games and books enough to keep the entertainment going even if the weather isn't great.

LAKE INFO
Swimming and/or Floating is Welcome. The water is swimmable and deep enough for boats throughout the season.

Spring – Lake levels will be high. The docks do not start getting installed until late April. We do not GUARANTEE any dock in the water before Memorial Day.
Summer – High Water Mark is June 1st. Depending on the weather, the lake levels may come up higher than that making the docks hard to access as their walkways will be underwater. We do our best to make sure they are accessible, but we cannot always get to them on demand.
Fall – Water levels will be lowest, and docks will start to be removed from the lake until the spring. Boats can still be docked, water levels at the end of the docks are still acceptable for boat docking.
Winter – Lake usually freezes, and ice fishing is popular. Any access to the frozen lake is “at your own risk”.

We enjoyed our stay at camp ugly wolf. It was just as described. Plenty of room for our family of 11. The dock was perfect for our pontoon. Perfect place to be lazy and just enjoy the lake with family.

Great location…
One of the few rental properties on a semi flat piece of land…an easy walk to the water with no stairs on your way down. The dock is great. It’s called Camp Ugly Wolf for a reason…nothing pretty about the decor, but everything is useful and clean. The two downstairs bedrooms have no air, but there is a split system in the hallway if you leave the doors open. It is not even a 10 minute ride into town, so convenient for picking up odds and ends, and close to a few restaurants. A great place to stay for sure.

Great place for a girls trip
This was a great place for 9 lifelong friends to reunite and catch up! The view from the house and lakefront is beautiful. We went ziplining on the sunny day and shopped and enjoyed a nice dinner in on the rainy day. There was a 2 hour rail bike excursion that looked wonderful but it was fully booked so look into that early if you are there in nice weather. The colorful autumn leaves would really add to the enjoyment of this activity.

Family Vacation
We had a great week at Camp Ugly Wolf. House was very clean and had everything we needed. It was great to have a second livingroom downstairs for the kids to play and watch movies in. The only negative for me was the bedrooms were small and although we kept the air on in the bedrooms the whole time it still felt damp to me. The location on the lake was the best. Beatiful views down by the water, could sit there all day. Everyone had fun fishing off the dock. We even rented a pontoon boat for a few days. Docked and dined at "The Dock" for lunch one day. Food and drinks were delicious! We went to Buchkills Falls (about a 40 minute drive, but worth it) Everyone loved it (kids, parents and grandparents). Also went to Claws N Paws Wild Animal Park. I have never been to an animal park where the animals were so active! We all had fun. But the best part was sitting by the lake with a drink and watching the kids and grandkids having so much fun catching fish off the dock!

Great location
Great spot on the lake, had beautiful sunsets and very close to restaurants and grocery stores. The kids caught more fish than any other rental we’ve had in the past. Great dock for boat and fishing. Loved the screened porch off back of house overlooking the lake and enjoyed a puzzle that came with the property. The house itself and its amenities could use some updating. Bedrooms were very small although we spent little time in these rooms. Furnishings and fixtures are all very old and could use some attention. Although that would push the rental price up and we just loved the location and loved the price so careful what you wish for. ;) Outdoor furniture however was great! High quality. We enjoyed our stay.

My stay
Kitchen was well stocked and garage was spacious. Location was great! However, The house was not clean, the bathroom inside shower doors have not been cleaned in a long time. Rug in dining area is quite dirty. The outdoor porch cushions were badly stained and should be thrown out. Outdoor gas BBQ was dirty as well. Coffee table under TV was very dusty. I feel bad about this review but I hope this will help the next person who rents. More attention needs to be given to the cleanliness of this home.

Great location, but….
Very convenient for water/boat access. Local restaurants and grocery stores close by. However, disappointed in the cleanliness. House smelled musty, especially bedrooms up and downstairs. There were spiderwebs throughout along with moldy woodwork. We realize this is typical of cabins in wooded areas but bed covers absorbed that the mustiness. The sliding glass doors in basement were almost impossible to open. Kitchen was well stocked and appliances were great. Large counter space and large dining table really came in handy for our group of 8. Lighting could be improved in main areas.

Camp Ugly Wolf
Had a really nice time. Had plenty of room for the family. Nice home. Only negative comment is; there was no where to store all our food. Had to rearrange some cabinets to make it work. However the plus of that was there were plenty of pots, pans, dishes, cups, glasses , silverware, utensils, mixing & serving platters/bowls, etc. to use! Property manager was VERY nice and easy to communicate with!

Perfect relaxing getaway!
Thank you for letting me and my family rent this beautiful home. I loved that there were barely any stairs on the property and it was an easy walk to the dock. The dock was absolutely perfect and on the newer side. Wild life was cool to watch walking through the property and a quiet area as well. Boat launch for the association was walking distance. Cindy was very kind and easy to work with and I’m definitely going to rent here again! Thanks!!

Amazing lake house
This house was perfect for our family vacation. There was so much space for everyone, the bedrooms were perfectly sized. I’m obsessed with the back yard and the walk down to the water. It was so great to be able to have our boat right there for easy accessibility. My dad has issues with steps so the trail down to the boat was perfect for him. And the view from the screen in porch had amazing views for sunrise and sunset. It’s the best family vacation we have had in a long time!!
