A wonderful place for a family vacation
Intergenerational family vacation with appeals to all. We spent a lot of time on the water with many water toys. Enjoyed grilling and nights around the fire. We were blessed with great weather. All in all a perfect vacation!

Great vacation spot
This is a lovely house and setting for a family vacation. The house is clean, well organized and perfectly situated on a quiet, shallow lake. The small sand beach in front of the house provided a nice place for my young grandsons to safely play in the water. No luck fishing but the kayaks and the paddle boat were being used each day. There were 11 of us comfortably enjoying the house, the lake and the nearby state parks. This is our second year renting this house, so you know I would recommend it.

Natalie Lake Home
Nice house, quiet neighborhood, nice for evening walks with toddlers to look at deer. Cleaning crew needs to do a better job. Renters should be aware that lake is not a swimmable lake, shallow and lots of vegetation. Will need to purchase amenities pass and go to beach and pool which are very nice.

Our third time at the house was a great as the first!
We love this house and have rented it three out of the last four years (one year we were not fast enough and it was gone!). It's the best house in BBL for the price. Greg is an excellent host. He is extremely thorough and very reliable. We rent this house with another family, and there is plenty to keep our six teenage boys entertained. Highly recommended!

The feeling of being home away from home
Just from the start, the owner of this property was so kind, he made a point to reach out before our stay just to make sure he could answer any questions we had. Like how cool is that?! When you arrive to this beautiful house, that has a fully stocked kitchen, so much room you almost don’t know what to do with, sitting perfectly near the water.. you truly will be on aw of it. It was clean, welcoming and comfortable. We will definitely be back!!!

Amazing lakefront property
We had a lovely time at this magnificent lake house. The house is very spacious and beautifully decorated, with a stunning view of the lake. The bedrooms are large and comfortable, and the kitchen has everything you’ll need, with a very large dining room to accommodate a large group. The property is also perfectly situated on the lake, and we really enjoyed sitting around the firepit overlooking the lake - was very peaceful. Greg (property owner) is wonderful, easy to get a hold of and very responsive to our inquiries. Highly recommended!!

Beautiful house with gorgeous lake view
We had a weekend getaway with 10 friends and had a great time despite the rainy weekend. The house was so beautiful and spacious. The one minor issue we encountered was quickly rectified by the owner who was very gracious and a pleasure to work with. My friends and I are already looking to book this house again come spring time. We highly recommend this beautiful lake front house.

Beautiful House by the Lake
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Bonowitz's house. It is very comfortable & clean. We had the perfect bedroom / bed setup for our family. Mom & Dad downstairs, Grandparents upstairs and grandkids and Aunt on the main level. The pedal boat, kayaks and canoe were well used during our week. The fishing was good with several large bass and perch caught from the dock. The weather was not great, but we did get to enjoy the community pool and beach. We also played tennis. The kitchen was big enough for a couple of people to work together. There were plenty of pots and pans, although some could be updated. We barbecues several dinners in the large grill on the deck. The deck was beautiful for dinner with colors of the sunset reflected on the lake. One drawback is the number of stairs. There are 10-12 stairs to get to the entrances and once inside there are 10-12 stairs between each of the 3 levels. The only other issue is that there is no cable TV in the master bedroom upstairs. We had a great time and the family agreed that we look forward to another stay … maybe next year.

Lovely lake house
This lake house was so spacious, nicely decorated, and make a great home base during our weeklong stay in the Poconos. We spent our days swimming, fishing, boating, and making smores. Greg was a pleasure to work with. We would definitely stay again. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

This is a beautiful home, clean, comfortable and right on the lake with all the boats you need to enjoy the water. The house is very nice, with plenty of room for our large family. Having Goldsboro State Park a short drive away was wonderful too. Greg was very helpful and easy to get in contact with. We would love to visit this house again!

Great multi-family getaway
Our group of four couples, two with small kids, had a wonderful New Years weekend at this beautiful property! It's perfectly set up to share with multiple families - the loft is a great extra sleeping space. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking, and the big pantry for storing supplies was an amazing bonus. Greg was super responsive and helpful for our minor questions, but the check in instructions were so comprehensive and clear that we barely needed anything. We particularly enjoyed the gas fireplace and lake view, and would love to come back in warmer weather. Just what a Poconos rental experiences should be!

We had 10 family members staying and there was plenty of room for all of us. We took lots of canoe and kayak rides, played games on the porch and used all of the neighborhood amenities.

It was a comfortable, welcoming and beautiful place for our family vacation. The home easily fit all 10 of us. There were plenty of activities in the area which gave us something to do everyday but the biggest hit were the boats right on the property which we used continually.

Fabulous accommodations
Our family had an amazing stay. The house was wonderful with almost 3 separate spaces for the three families. We kayaked, paddleboated, fishes and floating in the lake right off the dock. The beach at Big Bass Lake was lovely and clean. Jumping off the floating dock was a hit with the kids as was the playground and swings. We enjoyed ceramic painting and t-shirt dyeing at the club house and the kiddos loved playing ping pong. The pool at the clubhouse was clean and well maintained but quite crowded compared to the beach. Hope to rebook for next year!
