Retreat to the natural beauty of the Poconos Mountains with this lakefront property.  Located in the desirable Arrowhead Lake Community, this 2-level vacation rental offers a private retreat with all the amenities.  With 200 feet of lakeside property, guests can take in the stunning views or venture out on  Arrowhead Lake on a kayak,  canoe, or paddle board (all included with rental). Breathe in the fresh air of the mountains at this Poconos rental. Located on a large lot in the Arrowhead Lake Community, this 2-level lakefront property offers a quiet retreat with tons of amenities.

Enjoy stunning lake views from almost every room in the house. We encourage you to open the windows to let in that fresh mountain air. You’ll catch the scents of the water and the various trees around the property, encouraging you to linger and enjoy a slower pace during your stay. In the evening, relax near the wood fireplace or outdoor fire pit, and reminisce about your day.

With fresh renovations in the kitchen and bathrooms, you’ll be pampered with the best! The full kitchen boasts granite countertops and new cabinets, plus a 70-inch picture window with tremendous views of the lake you just won’t be able to get enough of. Imagine lingering over breakfast here with your family as you watch the sunrise together. Perfect!

Plus, all of the bathrooms are new or have been completely redone. The master bathroom has a double shower with a built-in seat. Each bathroom on the upper level has heated floor tiles to keep your feet nice and warm. In fact, all tiled and hardwood floors have radiant heat.

This vacation home is perfect for your family or group. Each bedroom has been decorated in its own style, and all of the beds feature Memory Foam mattresses, so you’ll all get a great night’s sleep!

Private Master Suite – King-size bed, top level, lake view
Queen Bedroom – top level, lake view
Queen Bedroom – top level, wooded view
Storage Room – top level, wooded view
Queen Sleeper Sofa – lower level, lake view

Visit the lower level to discover a multitude of entertainment options for those afternoons or nights you choose to relax indoors: ping pong, movies, TV, and more. But don’t feel like you’ll be closed off here; you still have great views, plus an entry door right off the lake.

Enjoy the Outdoors
With this lakefront property, it will be hard to stay inside, though. With a large, double-lot property, there’s a great grassy yard for you to play on. Outside, you can see across the entire lake. You can find shade and sun on the property. Every evening brings a stunning and unique sunset. Two kayaks, a canoe, and a paddle board are included with the rental for you to get out on the lake.

Did you know the best fishing on the lake in all seasons is right out back off your private dock? Bring your fishing gear and get ready to catch some big ones to brag about when you get back home. And when the lake is frozen sufficiently, you can go ice skating.

The deck out back offers you the perfect place to sit and stare at the stars or even the fireworks from the Island Pool. You’ll be able to see some wildlife from here, including hummingbirds that visit our deck-mounted feeder. Sip on an iced tea during the afternoon, play board games with the gang, or get lost in a good book. The possibilities are endless!

In the evenings, you can relax and sit by the fire pit and roast some delicious marshmallows for a sweet and gooey end-of-the-day treat.

Explore the Community
Arrowhead is a private community with 3 heated swimming pools and 4 separate beaches. It also boasts many other amenities, including tennis courts, volleyball, bocce ball, and a new lodge with a fitness center, billiard room, banquet room, and library. The lodge also has Wi-Fi access, so feel free to bring your laptop or mobile device with you.

Guests can picnic throughout the Arrowhead Lake Community. Tables and grills are provided; just bring the charcoal! Plus, there is some great wildlife to discover: whitetail deer, turkeys, chipmunks, bears, turtles, foxes, owls, woodpeckers, and more.

It’s a 1-minute walk from the vacation rental to get to the closest beach and playground. Visit two beaches or the lodge with a short trip on the kayak or canoe.
During your stay at this vacation home, you're just a quick walk from Arrowhead Lake. You'll find features like an outdoor pool, a gym, and a water park. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and a kitchen in the vacation home.

If you are looking for a relaxing and scenic getaway, this place is perfect. I stayed here with my family from July 27 to August 3, and we had a wonderful time. The pictures don't do justice to the beauty and spaciousness of this lakefront property. The owners were very friendly and helpful, and they provided everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The backyard was large and well-manicured, with plenty of shade for the summer. We loved using the kayaks, paddleboard, and canoe that were available, and exploring the lake. The deck was also great for sitting and watching the wildlife, such as deer, ducks, chipmunks, and squirrels. We felt like we were in a nature reserve. The inside of the house was also very nice and cozy. The kitchen was big enough for our family of ten, and the bedrooms were the perfect size. The master suite was amazing, with a stunning view of the lake and a luxurious bathroom. It was hard to leave that room. The two-car garage also had a refrigerator, which was very convenient for storing extra food and drinks. We highly recommend this location and we look forward to staying there again.

Beautiful view and house on Lake Arrowhead
We had such an amazing week at Jim and Lisa’s lake house. The views are breathless and they provide kayaks, a canoe and a paddle board to enjoy. The house is very large so was able to accommodate our large group of 8. They are wonderful hosts and responded to any questions in a timely manner. We would def go there again!

Perfect Lake Vacation Home!
What a lovely home to stay in for a week. The house is large, comfortable, and clean. Not only are the owners great communicators, biut also they are very personable. They repsond quickly and in a friendly and professional manner. We would definitely stay here again. The property is lakefront with a gravel dip making it easy to get in and out of the kayaks and canoe. It is literally steps away from the beach and a short car ride away from the Island Pool. Be sure to bring beach chairs and a beach umbrella for the sand because there is no shade. No shade at the pool either, so it tended to get extremely hot. The dock at this property is very nice. The pontoon boat seems perfect as well. Unfotunately, it wasn't available to rent while we were there, but it was taken away to be serviced that week. Therefore, it should be available for future renters. Definitely take advantage of all the amenties Arrowhead Lake has to offer. We needed more time to do this. The lodge is beautiful and has a lot to offer. We also took a morning to visit Bushkill Falls and ride ATV's. Highly recommend this property!

Spectacular stay in the Poconos!!
We could not have been more thrilled to have stayed at this beautiful property in the Poconos. Everything about the property was so well thought through and made our stay so comfortable!! The kitchen is large & very well stocked with utensils, dishes, and appliances, with a spectacular view of the lake!! The main dining room table was comfortable for all of us, as was the main floor living room. The layout of the bedrooms was perfect to allow for a new baby to be downstairs.The rooms were all comfortable sized and the master suite was enormous, beautifully appointed, and beyond our expectations. Having separate access to the deck and an incredible view of the lake made it even more amazing!! Great washer and dryer, a whole separate floor for gaming, tv and outdoor access, absolutely picturesque grounds, and 2 doors down from the beach and a playground, it could not have been more perfect! Truly, the pictures do not do it justice!! The hosts were wonderful to communicate with and got back to us promptly both before and during our stay. We visited in early June so heat was not a problem, & even though the property does not have central air, there were ceiling fans and individual room air conditioners that kept things comfortable. There's not a ton to do in the immediate area, mini golf, ice cream, etc. But great hiking is available within an hour's drive.Truly, just sitting back & enjoying the amenities of the home and the beautiful lake make it the perfect vacation!

Beautiful lake views in a very quiet neighborhood
Home was so comfy for all of us. The view of the lake was amazing. The neighborhood safe and quiet. We are from Florida so the cooler weather and sitting at night by the fire was my highlight. We enjoyed the nice big deck off the second floor. The 5 bedrooms gave everyone a very comfy place to sleep. Jim was the best host and answered every question quickly. We would stay here again for sure.

What A Great House For A Family Vacation!!!!
This place is absolutely fantastic!! The location is great as it is right on the water and right next to a beach. The description is right on point and maybe even under values the kitchen a little. This was the perfect spot for our group of parents, 20 somethings, teens and toddlers. There really was something for everyone. Lisa, Jim, and the property manager where really great also as communication was always super-fast, friendly, upfront, and helpful. We had an issue that the pontoon boat didn’t run and it was taken care immediately. Unfortunately the boat was beyond fixing but the refund was given multiple apologies where sent. I would absolutely rent this place and from them again. Thanks for a great stay as my entire family had a great time.

Fun in the rain
We stayed at this lovely home on the week of June 24. The first 4 days had off and on rain. We hurried to do some outdoor things in the window of time when it was not raining. However, there were so many things to do indoors that we kept very busy anyway. Our last 2 days were glorious. I would recommend this property for sure.

50th Anniversary family celebration
Our children gathered with us for a long happy weekend to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary in Jim and Lisa's beautiful lakefront home. The weekend was filled with lots of food and fun. The spacious, well appointed kitchen with its wall of windows facing the lake was a delight to cook in, and the banquet sized dining table accommodated us all comfortably and was the scene of both laughter filled meals and noisy games of scattergories. We made puzzles, took walks, kayaked, made smores, played shuffleboard, took family photos, and spent many hours just gazing out at the lake. Favorite times were very early in the morning sitting by the lake with a steaming mug of coffee or tea, watching the mist rise and an osprey fishing. You will love it here. We did.
