Summer family vacation
We had the best time ever at Camp Murray. Everything was perfect! We especially loved the grassy front field for family activities, the spacious basement and the beautiful lake. The home was clean and renovated. Amanda was super responsive to every question we had. We cannot wait to book our next vacation here!

Amazing Lake House!!!
We had so much fun at Camp Murray. The other reviews were right on the money everything was 5 stars across the board. Some things that stood out were the beautiful property. Not many lake houses have such a beautiful lawn in addition to lake front access. On top of that the property is so close to lake beaches and community pools and parks. Huge plus. If you have kids this house is very well equipped with toys, games, baby gates, crib, high chair, plates cups and silverware all for the little ones. I found that to be hugely helpful. My kids had a blast with everything being so close and accessible. We will be back!

Relaxing family vacation
Our family really loved staying at Camp Murray for our vacation this year. This was our first time in the Poconos and were not too sure what to expect. The house is beautiful, clean, and functional. It is well equipped and it's obvious that the owners care about their home and their guests. We chose this house because some of the previous comments mentioned that it was kids-friendly. They were right. We were delighted to have a tree swing in the front yard, a high chair for our 15-month old during meals, and baby gates to keep the upstairs and deck area safe. Our entire family (adult children and grand-children) loved the lake and the quietness of the cove where the property is located. We used the canoes and kayaks everyday to go to the little beach across the lake where the grandkids (ages 3 and 1) could play in the sand and safely wade in the water. We sat across the fire pit at night and roasted marshmallows. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable week.

Beautiful, comfortable, great location
Camp Murray is a very updated, clean, fully stocked rental. Perfect for any weekend getaway. Right on the water with plenty of yard for the kids to run we're on. Close to all the wineries but far enough away to have a quiet secluded area

Fun Family Weekend
Our family of 3 stayed at Camp Murray for a weekend getaway this September. We loved the property. The lake was perfect for paddle-boarding and canoeing. We used the firepit the whole weekend and it is in a great location just next to the lake! The property owner was extremely responsive and provided us with all the information that we needed. The kitchen was well supplied with both utensils and spices. Our only regret is that we weren't able to stay longer!!

Beautiful lakefront property
The owners were quick to respond with any questions. The home was perfect for us with 2 masters and 2 other rooms for our kids. The living space was great for 6 people and the kitchen was large enough for 2 of us to cook comfortably. The AC units cooled the house down pretty quickly and the fans in each room added a nice breeze for sleeping. The owners provided all the kitchen necessities and 2 beach chairs and 2 loungers for the beach/pool. Launching out kayaks was easy! We are definitely coming back!

Great spot
We had a wonderful time! There is a large beautiful backyard for the kids to play in and such a beautiful view of the lake. The community has several playgrounds which were great for our little ones. We had an issue with the outlet where the modem was plugged in, and the owners were very responsive and fixed it the same day. I really appreciated all the baby gear in the house: the crib, high chair, plastic plates and utensils, and even a stroller! Almost every day we had deer visiting the yard which was great entertainment for the kids.

Cozy home
This home was cozy and worked well for our needs. Something to mention about the loft, if the trundle bed is pulled out, the door needs to be left open, which goes into the next bedroom. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and the host was always available and helpful. We would stay here again.

Beautiful home perfect for a relaxing weekend!
My family all loved staying at this home! The place was so clean and nicely decorated that we really enjoyed staying here. Being lakefront, we enjoyed beautiful sunrises/sunsets and the fall colors on the trees around the lake looked amazing, we also used the canoes they provided. My fav part was the tree swing! The home itself felt spacious for 10 of us staying. Kitchen was great and stocked with good pots/pans/tools that made it easy and fun to cook meals here. The big windows give the space great natural light so we didn’t feel cooped up in the house ever. We hope to come back to this same house again!

An amazing, newly-renovated lake house!
Camp Murray was the exact family getaway we needed! Amanda was an amazing host, and immediately responded to every question we had. The house is newly-renovated, and even though it seems like they have a few more things to update, that didn’t take away from the experience at all. Everything was clean upon arrival, and they have all the basic necessities that you’ll need for a week’s stay. We will definitely be coming back! Oh...and I will definitely be buying giant picnic tables one day—they were awesome to eat every meal at!

Heartwarming family get away
We had a wonderful stay at Camp Murray! The sparkling lake views are absolutely stunning, especially in the morning. The open floor plan, and the beautiful details throughout, made the house feel cozy, inviting, and comfortable. Amanda was a great host, quick to respond, and very understanding when I told her I was dealing with an injury prior to my stay. My family enjoyed the canoes, tubes, and tree swing, and it was the perfect place for me to get a little rest and recuperation. Since my children are older now, this special little get away was really heartwarming! We would love to come back for a stay during the warmer months, although I’m sure it’s beautiful any time of the year! Thank you for a great experience!
