About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Lakefront chalet, in a pristine setting, with privacy and spacious loft. 5 STAR.

Our lakefront chalet is located on a wooded, 2 acre lakefront lot with plenty of privacy and room for small or larger groups to enjoy. Located in a family oriented, private (not gated) community that is 20 minutes from Elk Mountain Ski Resort, and 20 minutes from the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River. We cater to families and other groups seeking to enjoy relaxation and the outdoors. We've been a lodging partner with Elk Mountain Ski Resort for several years. The quality of skiing at Elk Mountain and the setting and character of our Summit Lake Chalet make for an enjoyable and memorable skiing or snowboarding getaway. If you haven't skied here, I've skied them all and this is the best skiing in Pennsylvania, in terms of skill level variety, shorter lift lines and vertical elevation. Summit Lake (aka Bone Pond from the 1800's to late 1960's) is approximately 55 acres in size and has fewer than 25 cottages on it. Approximately 45% of the shoreline is and will stay undeveloped via an easement held by the Delaware Highlands Conservancy. This makes for a pristine, natural setting for kayaking, canoeing, snowshoeing, cross country skiing. We offer guest the use of 6 kayaks, 2 canoes and a row boat from our private dock. In addition to the regular heat, we provide dry/covered firewood for the wood stove, as well as for the campfire ring during the other 3 seasons.

Hiking and mountain biking: There's a nice mix of dirt roads and a nearby Rails-to-Trails System on the old O&W Railroad. From the Chalet, it's approximately one mile to the trail, just across Rt 370, at its intersection with Spruce Lake Road. From this point, a two mile hike or bike ride takes you to The Lakewood Lodge and Restaurant, which is a Country Inn B&B with a full service restaurant and large outdoor dining pavilion and bike racks. See trail map at https://www.traillink.com/trail/ow-trail---pa/

During your stay at this chalet, you'll be close to Lake Lorain. You'll find features like breakfast (surcharge).

My husband and I stayed for our anniversary week in early September and the place could not have been more perfect! The photos in the listening don't do the property justice. The lake was spectacular. Perfect location with rustic cabin charm!

Rustic Pocono Cabin On Small Lake
Nice, rustic, well used, comfortable cabin. Lovely Summit Lake with fish to catch and the host providing a row boat, canoe and kayaks. There is a nice fire pit for campfires, the host providing the firewood and comfortable seating. Located away from other attractions, the cabin and grounds made a nice place for our family vacation.

The property was secluded and relaxing with beautiful views. House and decks could use some maintenance and updates. It was clean and comfortable - plenty of space. Camp across the lake gets noisy.

Thanks so much Jim! We had a great time. Fishing was decent. We caught a bunch of pickerel and some bass. We also fished at Belmont Lake which was nice. The place was great. We especially liked the fire pit area and the dock area. Thanks for everything. Rich Wilcox

We stayed here President’s Day weekend 2024 and had a wonderful time. Very comfy cozy. Only approximately 25 minutes away from Elk Mountain which was very convenient. Just make sure you bring everything you need as the stores locally may not have what you need.

Verified traveller

nicer than the pics make it look… kind of
I stayed here with 7 friends. We showed up to the property and actually thought the pictures didn’t do it justice, a lot nicer! We had an amazing stay, and the AC works good during the hot summer months (not as much in the loft). Tip- bring toilet paper, garbage bags, and paper towel. It says provided but there was 1-2 of each. A couple little things we thought that could make this place even better: 1. More seating. it sleeps 10, but there is only seating at the table and couches as well as dock for 5-6. 2. Clean/update carpets. Just so old and dirty. 3. Lighting outside- rope lighting by the fire and down to the dock would look stunning. Really fun trip and really amazing stay.

An outdoor delight
The lakefront chalet was in an incredible location! We lucked out with gorgeous weather to enjoy the outdoors here, which is truly the highlight. Ample kayaks, a canoe, a fishing boat, even some tubes, there’s plenty of options. The fire pit was stocked with logs making it easy to enjoy a nighttime fire and surprisingly we didn’t ever need bug spray (a welcome surprise). The cabin interior is definitely that of a cabin- the carpeting and couches are a little tired and maybe it could use a female’s decorating touch, but there was a nice view of the lake to eat by and essentials were all there. Beds were comfortable. For a house that allows dogs we weren’t expecting perfection inside (animals create wear and tear, we get it)! I’d say it was true to the online photos. We appreciated being able to come and go easily with the check in and check out process. There wasn’t a mile long list on exactly how to do things that many STRs have- it was refreshing to just clean up as we would at our own house and be on our way! Thank you Jim!

Overall, the stay was very nice with the best being lake access and availability to the equipment. Really enjoyed how it seems so secluded and private. The cabin has a very rustic feel which is fine and expected but some focus on basic upgrades and property maintenance would make it perfect.

Just what we were looking for…
Enjoyed a long weekend with family over Memorial Day. Location is great to escape and enjoy the lake. Nothing fancy, but everything you need and fits that cabin/great outdoors vibe. The kids loved exploring the property and catching fish while the adults enjoyed relaxing on the deck with a good book.

This property and the owner were wonderful. It was a warm chalet with the charm you would hope for. It is peaceful with a brook that runs down the property and the snow was beautiful. Sleeping conditions were great and even the single bathroom was fine with our group. We enjoyed our stay and were warmly greeted by the owner.
