Beautiful Place
We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin is beautiful, just as the pictures, and location is perfect. Beach is walk distance. Communication with owner, checking in and checking out was smoothly. I would definitely stay again. Things to improve on: the backyard needs maintenance we couldn’t use the canoe because the way to go into the water was obstructed; there should be extra garbage bags, I understand that renters take advantage but at minimum an extra 3-5 bags would do the job.

Weekend escape
Overall stay was ok. Found this place to be unkempt. The listing says “luxury” but that turned out to be an underwhelming expectation. View from master bedroom upstairs, electric fireplace and kitchen were the best parts of this rental property.

Relaxing by the lake
My family and I had a great time at the fountain house! The location was great as my teenage kids could easily walk to the pool on their own. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and the views from the deck. We were not able to find carts to bring the kayaks down to the lake but we were able to fit one in our SUV and drive it down. My wife had a great time kayaking around Deer Lake. Also have never seen so many deer so close! Overall great trip!

Fun in the Poconos
My family and I really enjoyed our stay at this lake house. The house is very nice and the view from the deck is gorgeous! The beds were comfy and they had lots of neat touches inside the house like a record player, a huge tv, and tons of games. It's located in a great community that has so many fun amenities (lake, indoor/outdoor pools, gym, small game room, tennis courts to name a few). It's also not too far of a drive from good restaurants (John's) and stores (Weis Supermarket, Dollar Tree, CVS). The owners were wonderful so easy to contact and quick to respond. Overall, we loved the place and would definitely stay there again!

Tranquility
Tranquility is the only way to describe this property. Peaceful and quiet. Every morning (and some nights) I would sit on the deck and watch the deer and listen to the fountain in the middle of the pond. Great things to do in the area for couples or families (Bushkill Falls). Shawn was a great host! My car died and was towed to a dealership 50 minutes away. Shawn offered to bring us to a car rental place at the airport! We gratefully said yes and had great conversation the whole ride. If you're a couple, definitely sleep in the loft (great views of the lake) or if you're a family, the kids can sleep there ( has an extra living room up there with a gaming system). Besides the car issues, it was the vacation we needed. We can't wait to go back, hopefully yearly.

Great Place to Stay
Our family really enjoyed our stay. House was clean and the open floor plan made it roomy enough for all 7 of us. Beautiful view from the porch and great swimming pool right up the street. Community has great activities (we particularly enjoyed the ceramics) and everyone was very nice. Host responded promptly when we messaged. Overall a great place to vacation!

From the moment we walked into the house, we knew we chose the right place to stay. We all felt comfortable. The house was stocked with all the necessities. The beds were comfy.

Everything was just as promised. We had 1 tiny issue with trash a previous renter had left, but the owner ensured that it was taken care of it right away, even though it was a holiday weekend. Communication was perfect, check-in/out was a breeze. Would love to stay again in the spring some year!
