This charming 4 season cottage is located on Lake Henry, in the Northeast section of the Poconos. It is renovated throughout. In summer enjoy our two person kayak, paddle boat or canoe. Yard slopes gently to lake. Safe for little ones. Swim to the swim dock and just lounge and gaze at the trees and the lake in the rope hammock.There is a grill and a FIRE PIT for evening campfires (wood provided). Also we have a beautiful dock from which to SWIM, FISH or relax. Its very quiet. GOLF courses just 10-15 minutes away.Horseback riding/waterparks/zoo are w/in 20-30 min. away. In the Fall, the country is serenely beautiful in the with all the leaves changing colors and farm stands to visit. There are cider mills and pumpkin patches.

In WINTER, we are within 20-30 min of skiing. Iceskate on the lake. Retreat inside w/ the cozy fireplaces and a pot of chili. Have a campfire if there's no snow. Watch the amazing sunsets over the mountain or cross the lake. Play Wii listen to music on ipod dock. This affordable vacation property is designed for a quiet small family or a romantic getaway. The interior is clean and updated. Also, ask about linens. House has 2 gas fireplaces.

WARM, COMFY, CLEAN & COZY!: This Mountain side / lakefront cottage is a renovated, very clean, romantic getaway. It is secluded enough for a peaceful, uninterrupted get together yet it is only 25 minutes to the nearest Starbucks and malls. The living room has a gas fireplace that makes it a perfect gathering place for some serious heat and the den has a gas fireplace unit that keeps the rest of the house at a constant temperature. The bedroom has an electric fireplace that makes for the most romantic setting. The weather outside might be frightful but inside the cottage it is as warm and bright as a summer day! CABLE TV/ DVD/FREE HIGH SPEED CABLE WiFi INTERNET /iPOD DOCKING STATION

FREE WiFI 5 MB CABLE ETHERNET: There is CABLE TV, DVD, FREE HIGH SPEED CABLE INTERNET, WiFi and an iPOD DOCKING STATION. The kitchen is modern, with a large built in microwave, a blender, toaster, toaster oven, gas oven, can opener and coffee maker,

There is a large air conditioner built into the living room and a window A/C for the bedroom. This cottage is well insulated so the temperature is cool and constant.

It is a great place for young adventurous kids. they can catch fish with a net at the shore, use the goggles and snorkels to see the fish under water, or use the fishing poles to fish. There are 'swimmies and life jackets for everyone in the plastic storage box on the Dock. We also put up an 11 foot water trampoline!

HAMMOCK, FIREWOOD, FIRE PIT: There is a large two person hammock for resting and a two person swing seat on the deck. There is a new large BBQ grill, with a side burner, so you can cook a meal for everyone. The firewood is supplied, cut and ready for you. The water is warm, and the Adirondack chairs are perfect for watching the kids in the lake.

There is a large picnic table on the lawn for lunch and an outdoor table on the rear deck for an outside sunset sit down dinner. There are some DVD's for the kids to keep them busy, and a driving range and a golf course for dad nearby. There are some great places to go to see some of the most unique antiques I have ever seen.

Cozy quiet cottage next to a beautiful lake

5 of 5
Submitted: August 11, 2009 Stayed: August 2009
The owners were great to work with, the place was clean and comfortable. There is a nice deck for eating outside so you can watch the sunset over dinner. The lake is peaceful and quiet, we saw a bald eagle fly across it a couple times our last night there. Kayak and paddleboat are ready to go, the town of Hamlin is nearby for anything you might need, but the cottage is far enough off the beaten path to give you a sense of seclusion. Cable/DVD/Wi-fi work great for those who don't want to detach from "reality" entirely. Would definitely go back.
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Adventure Seekers, Families with Teenagers, Families with Young Children, Romantic Getaway
Owner's Response: We try to make our cottage as comfortable and relaxing as possible so our guests will enjoy it to the maximum. That includes the rental/business part of the process. We keep it simple and are willing to be flexible if possible. We hope you find this review helpful in making a vacation decision.

Great long weekend

Me and my girlfriends spent last Labor day here and I've been meaning to get on here an write a review for a while now. All I can say was it was the perfect getaway. The home has so much to offer on the lake..paddleboat, canoe, kayaks! The floating dock was a perfect spot to tan and relax. Although a small house it was the perfect spot for a small group. Everything you needed was in the home..the firepit was the selling point and the homeowners supplied all the wood!! I am so grateful to have spent such a memorable holiday here. Many thanks to the homeowners and I hope to return soon :)

Cute, Charming, Comfortable Cottage

5 of 5
Submitted: July 11, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
Before we even arrived, Mary was a delight to communicate with. She was willing to work with our schedule, and it was very easy to pay with a credit card over the phone. (This also removes the need for that annoying security deposit that many of us have haggled with at other properties!)

Upon arrival the cottage was clean and well-stocked with all the items that you would expect in a vacation rental. We went to the local Weis to stock up on some groceries and quickly made ourselves at home.

You can read about all the amenities from the property listing, but it truly is hard to find something about this place that isn't fabulous. Fishing from the dock netted us pickerel, bass, and sunnies. The well-maintained gas grill and two outdoor tables allowed us to eat every meal outside. The paddle boat and kayak made for a fun tour around the lake. Enjoying a glass of wine while while taking in the sunset over the lake was so relaxing. And then listening to the sounds of the nature while being warmed by the fire capped off some really great days.

I can't say enough about this place. We certainly plan to come again...and maybe this time we'll bring the kids! Thanks so much for making this available, Mary and Frank!
Owner's Response: Hi Scott,
THank you so much for your kind words. It makes us so happy to have folks there who appreciate the cottage and lake the way we do. It truly is heaven to us. We would love for you to return and bring your little ones too! They will love it the way ours do I guarantee! In the summer we put a water trampoline out that the kids love to play on and I love to chill out on. The fall is beautiful up there with the leaves, pumpkin and apple picking and campfires too! We look forward to hearing from you again!
Thank you again,
Mary and Frank

My family really enjoyed our stay at Mary & Frank's Lake House. We were only there Mon - Wed, which was a little too short. The house itself, is on the small side - but perfect for a family of 4 (we have a 3 and 1 yr old). The lake access was wonderful! I was able to just sit and relax on the grass/bricks while both my boys played in the water. Our only complaint was that it rained on our only full day there and there was nothing to do with two small boys stuck inside! Thank goodness I brought some of their favorite movies!
As we were leaving - my older son asked when we could come back to "our new house"... so I'm pretty sure we'll be back next year!!!
