Great location, just across the road from the beach and a dock. Beds very comfy, great little modern kitchen. Loved the fire pit. Check in was super easy, host was extremely quick in answering all of our questions. Only used the golf cart a few times, but who knew? Loved our time in the Poconos. Fishing not what our guys are used to, but their float tubes worked out perfectly.

Labor Day weekend getaway

My sisters, brother in law, and niece all stayed at this rental.we each had our own room with very comfortable bedding. The kitchen was brand new with all amenities we needed. An awesome upstairs front porch for cocktails, or morning coffee with a lake view. Loved the roomy fire pit area in the evenings also. We would definitely rent again. A rare plus, was the availability of the host/manager whenever I needed anything or had a question.

Great Family Getaway

The home was clean and well stocked with paper products, kitchen equipment, the grill was charcoal and there was coal and lighter fluid there! We replenished it before we left. We used the kayaks, canoe, and paddle board. The temperatures were amazing and we spent our time on the lake, cooking, grilling, fire pit time, playing games, and walking around the area! We totally suggest this house for a family getaway! Thank you!

Rustic Cabin

Outdoor amenities are the winner at this location that is close to the lake. Canoe and kayaks were a plus. Very family oriented with beaches at the lake, pool and multiple playgrounds. Great kitchen but other indoor areas need some work. Owner very responsive. Indoor musty odor would keep us from going back. The WHOLE property could use some TLC.

Family Vacation

This was our first family vacation i 6 years and it was amazing. Mamta was fantastic to communicate with (and helped with our AC issue). The amenities were awesome. The kids spent most of the time kayaking and paddle boarding. Being right across from the water gave us the peace of mind to let them explore on their own. Everyone that we encountered was very friendly and we had no concerns with safety or anything. The association website listed all of the events and activities that were going on while we were there, and the fireworks were fantastic. This was a great stay and would 100% recommend it!

Upgrade the Furniture!

The location was great and the house was nice with plenty of room and all of the supplies that were needed. Our biggest complaint was the awful furniture in the living room that felt like you were sitting on cinder blocks. After a long day of skiing, we wanted to sit and relax at night and watch a little tv. The old "This Ends Up" furniture with the wood frames and cushions that are 2 inches thick just don't cut it. We couldn't wait to go home.

Upstairs good downstairs bad!

Location was fabulous. Kayaks by the lake were excellent. The kitchen was great and appliances were all updated. The downstairs of the house was musty and was leaking water in the bedrooms. They were not usable and clean at all therefore people slept on the couches. The downstairs shower did not drain. Grill was clearly not cleaned and spent a chunk of time cleaning it. The kayaks on the property were full of bugs and the hose was not hooked up to wash them out therefore making them unusable.

Great location

The cabin was located across the road from the beach and playground which was convenient. The home was very clean and beds were comfortable. The pool was nearby and heated. On the downside, The basement was musty with very poor air circulation. Moisture from the bathroom caused the floor to stay wet and very slick. We did have a surprise visitor in the kitchen in the morning This crazy squirrel got in somehow and ate much of our baked goods on the counter. The owners have been informed and plan to solve this problem. The extra costs add up! Car fees and amenity fees per person. For a week, ours totaled almost $300 extra! We had to cut our vacation short due to these added costs above the vrbo extra fees.

The location of this property was perfect. We had a lake view with easy access to Beach 3, for swimming and canoeing/kayaking, which were provided. We also enjoyed the local pools and pickleball courts. We enjoyed the deck, fire pit, grill and good long walks. The kitchen has all modern appliances. The two tv rooms were useful for a large group. The downstairs is slightly musty, but we didn’t mind. Overall, a lovely experience.
