Beautiful home and community

We had the best time! The house is beautiful. The place had plenty of space for our family and had everything we needed for a great stay. The land by the lake was dreamy and we loved using the kayaks/boat and the hot tub. The community was great - very walkable and some fun activities/amenities. We would definitely consider another trip in this home! 💗

Lovely Lake Getaway!

We loved our time on the lake with a combination of 6 adults and 6 kids ranging in age from 2-10 years old the house and property had plenty to offer for all! The downstairs layout was convenient for meal prep and the kids had a great time fishing and playing in the sand. Visiting the nearby boulder field and Scoops ice cream provided some offsite adventures as needed!

Wonderful week at the lake

We just got back from our week at this lake house and had a wonderful, relaxing time. The house has a great layout with a convenient entrance to a mud/play room with a bathroom right there for the kids. The kitchen was large enough for 3 adults to work doing dishes/prepping/cooking food. There was a lot of space for our group of 12 to sit to eat, as well as to relax in the living room. We used the hot tub all week and it was super hot (like it should be!) and relaxing. We used the kayaks and row boat often, and did a lot of fishing from the dock and the row boat as well. We caught some really large bass, crappie, and a million sunfish. We had every pot and pan we needed, even a griddle for pancakes, and there was plenty of large bowls and platters. The few times I reached out to the host she was quick to respond and happy to help. We had a wonderful time and would not hesitate to book again!

Peaceful and Relaxing

We stayed at this house for a bachelorette weekend, the bride was overwhelmed with the property and so ecstatic! We had the best weekend and the house was close to Jim Thorpe town which was very convenient! The property owner was very quick to respond to questions and very helpful as we were not familiar with the area! The house was immaculate when we checked in, the process was very easy! The property setting os absolutely beautiful, the water and firepit area, all of it was just amazing! We've already talked about planning our next stay there! Thank you King Family for an amazing place for us to make memories!

Perfect As Always

Linda’s house is becoming an annual trip for myself, my wife, kids, and my in-laws. Can’t ask for a better house in the Poconos - right on the water, beach for the kids to play, hot tub, pool in the community center, a variety of boats to choose from, and a 10 minute ride to downtown Jim Thorpe. Linda is great to communicate with. We’ll be back next year!

Family vacation

We stayed here with our whole family which included 4 families. Space was great and backyard with lake access allowed for plenty of space for kids to run around. Home’s boats and kayaks were great and it’s nice that life jackets are available as well. Homeowners were very responsive to questions we had regarding hot tub.
