Overall a pretty great place
We enjoyed our stay at the Carebear cabin. The location was perfect, and we loved being right on the water. Great sunsets!! The only reason I couldn’t give it a 10/10 was because I felt like the property manager was great at apologizing for the problems we encountered but never offered a workable solution. For example, the dishwasher never worked while we were there, but no one was willing to come to the house to try to fix it for us, so we spent a lot of time washing dishes (for 8 people) by hand. Two other things to note would be that the boats are only available seasonally. And it’s really a 2 bedroom house, since the third bedroom was actually an open loft above the dining area. But overall the house was nice and very functional for us. The kids loved the game room and the jacuzzi tub. We would consider coming back if we needed a place to stay in the poconos.

A unique place
Stayed here recently for a guys weekend in the Poconos. We enjoyed the fire pit and the provided firewood. Plenty of space for everyone to spread out. The view of the lake is a nice treat and the deer are super chill.

We can’t wait to come back!
This house is in the best location just a few minutes to the beach and lake. Our boys loved swimming in the lake & jumping off the dock. And don’t even get me started with the Cowboy Lounge. We had many game nights and our two boys ages 7&9 absolutely loved the video games and ping pong. We will definitely be coming back!

Serene and fun family vacation spot
Although we ran into a few obstacles the first day (not enough linens, broken jacuzzi, etc), our week at this property was amazing. There is so much to do, both out the house and at the “beach” right down the block. Our favorites were floating in tubes on the lake, playing pool in the cowboy lounge, and sitting on the little deck by the lake each morning and evening. We also did trips to Kalahari and Boulder Field, which were both easy to access and so much fun. The property managers were very responsive and helpful. The location of the house within the community is ideal.
