Wonderful for large family vacations.
My family and I had a wonderful stay here. The house was stunning!!! The lake was very quiet and my grandchildren and children loved kayaking. Evenings with an outdoor fire were very relaxing.

Fantastic Lake House
This house and location are fantastic. We had 12 people (9 adults, 3 teens) and everyone had enough space. The lake was great for kayaks and paddle boards (provided) and swimming. It’s a quiet lake so you’ll have it all to yourself most of the time. Hosts are very responsive and friendly.

The Great Escape
The house is fantastic. It is a perfect getaway for friends and families. It was spacious and had amenities for all to enjoy. It was a bit of a drive to elk mountain ski resort but well worth the drive. The views of the lake and the mountains were amazing. Thanks for a great stay

Perfect Family Vacation!
This is - hands down - the best rental our family has ever enjoyed. The house is incredible in every way. Our family of 8 adults enjoyed this beautiful home which was equipped with everything we needed to enjoy a perfect week on Heart Lake. Each couple had a private room and bathroom. We used every bit of the sprawling, well-equipped kitchen and outdoor grill to make big family meals every night. There were enough kayaks and paddle boards for our lake adventures and the hot tub and fire pit were amazing. The house has so many thoughtful nooks and crannies, and the rooms were comfortable and perfect for giant family meals, relaxing, and games. The supermarket and liquor store were just a quick 5 minutes down the road, but the house felt secluded and tucked away from everything. We enjoyed beautiful, scenic walks around the lake and surrounding area. Gretchen was so nice and accommodating. We would love to come back again! Thank you, Gretchen! You made our family so happy.

Amazing!
This property is incredible! The size, layout, location, amenities were all top notch. Further, the owner, Gretchen, is an absolute delight and made sure we had everything we needed. The house was full with family spread all over..the lake, the workout room, the game room, the pool table, the outdoor kitchen, with the sounds of fun coming from all directions, yet no one was in each others' way. We look forward to coming back for many years to come!

Great time
There is so much to do here that everyone was happy and busy the whole week. This is a particularly good rental for kids. While we had no teens with us I would imagine they would have a great time tubing on the lake and playing the video games. Our young grandchildren had the time of their life playing in the sand, fishing, playing ping pong (with parents), playing video games etc. I was a little concerned taking such young children to a lake but it was totally safe. The house has a really fun bedroom for little girls; our 4 granddaughters loved it. The kitchen is well stocked. The only thing we could not find was a dustpan so we donated one to the house. The outside seating areas were really nice also, both covered and uncovered. As a gardener, I really enjoyed the landscaping and our daughter took pictures to use for ideas to landscape behind her new house. We lost electricity twice but it did not matter because they have a big enough generator to cover all the needs of the house. The only complaint I have is the house is rather dark. I think the house would benefit from lighter shades of paint on the walls. But that is a small issue compared to all the positives this house has to offer. All in all, this is a great place for a vacation week.

Great house for family reunion
Everything was excellent and we were amazed how good and thoughtfully this house is equipped and well maintained. The major big bedroom is very comfortable and you can spend hours in the bathroom with two showers. The lake view is unforgettable and beautiful. The only confusion that we had is one of the bedrooms was listed as a queen size bad and that this is have a crib, but we found a full bed with no crib. it was not so comfortable for two people to share this bed. Our family mad a great time

Beautiful, luxurious lakefront home
This home on Heart Lake is equipped with everything you need to have an incredible stay with friends or family. The kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen and outdoor areas are all first rate. Access to the lake is terrific, it's a great place to spend time with a large group. This large home has plenty of room for a crowd and makes it easy to prepare and serve large meals and enjoy leisure time together. There is a state park for easy hiking nearby but we didn't venture out much - we had everything we needed. The hosts were terrific, very responsive and took us out boating several times during our stay. Highly recommend this awesome place for a vacation destination!

Quarantine Vacation 2020...A+
This is a lovely, large, rustic home which is lake-front on Heart Lake in the Endless Mountains of northern PA. It was perfect for our multi-generational group of 13. It is well equipped, nicely furnished, and has great outdoor spaces to enjoy the lake/outdoors, including a very nice fire pit area (great star-gazing!). The lake is relatively small, with about 64 homes on it. It was perfect for canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding, and "floating around"...this equipment was provided in ample quantity. Our kids enjoyed "catch and release" fishing from the dock...the small fish were on the line almost before the hook hit the water, which made for a great experience. The owner can also provide outboard and pontoon boating experiences at additional cost, if desired. It was an easy 4.5 hour drive from the DC area, which figured heavily into our decision to stay relatively close to home this year, the year of COVID-19. Remember to bring water shoes; the beach is sandy, but the lake is (as expected) "mucky" to walk into...you can avoid this by getting into the lake from the dock. It was a relaxing, fun week for all!
