We stayed in for a snowy winter weekend and had the best time! Played in the snow and warmed up next to the fire. We are already planning our next stay!

We recently stayed in the Lakefront Chalet for three nights this January for an adults only getaway. The accommodations were very inviting and we felt right at home. With three nicely sized bedrooms, each couple had plenty of privacy. The hot tub provided us with a great spot to relax while we enjoyed the great view of the lake. All of the surrounding activities one could desire in the Poconos were all within a short distance from the house. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone.

My family of 4 went to the lakehouse with another family of 4 and we had a great time. There was plenty of room for all. The kitchen was well stocked and even had pizza pans for our homemade pizza. The outside was great for the kids. Between finding salamanders to small garden snakes, the kids had a BLAST! The girls were out in the peddleboat and the boys out in the row boat all weekend. We did not catch any fish, but that did not stop the kids from trying non-stop. The hot tub ran great and all enjoyed it. Local restaurants were very good and we advise you stop by Smokin Vittles on Rt. 196 for some great BBQ. The only compalint if any - would be that the outside glass needs a serious powerwashing - as it was very dirty. All in all, it was a great weekend and hopefully we will be back again.

Rebekah,
The house was great oh it was so beautiful and relaxing there I almost didn't want to leave we left everything very clean and washed all the bedding we will def rent the house again sometime in the future
Thank you so much again
May God bless you Always!!

We were very unhappy with the overal shape of the house. Old furniture, in bad shape and it was not clean when we got there. The owner did send someone out who did a great job. The walls were all scuffed and just overall very old. Screens did open right etc.

I would not recommend this to stay at unless you are looking for very very basic house.

The back yard was very nice and they offered a canoe, paddle boat and kayuk which were great and made our trip better.

There are a couple things about this place. First off, I loved having a kayak to paddle around on the lake. I might even buy one now I loved it so much. I also loved using the hot tub out underneath the stars at night watching the meteor showers. There were plenty of old school vcr tapes of old movies that my kids enjoyed and there were lots of board games to keep us entertained which came in handy the first couple days because it rained a lot. But there are many things I did not like about this rental and they outweighed the positives.
First off, I was excited to get here and take my kids out on the boats that are available. Unfortunately the row boat has a 225 pound limit. I am in very fit condition (i run marathons) and so are my kids. That being said, i could not take either of my kids out in the boat because we weighed more than the maximum. Who has a canoe for one person? One of the main reasons we purchased this rental was for the use of the boats, and to not be able to use that for my family was very disappointing and slightly misleading in the advertising.

Second of all, I knew it going in, but not having bed sheets available, toilet paper and towels for people staying at a rental is just cheap. I didn't realize it until we packed the car with all this extra stuff that I shouldn't have to bring on a vacation, but needless to say, it was a huge inconvenience. I have been vacationing for over 20 years and staying at house rentals, and never in my life have I ever seen anything like not having towels, toilet paper and sheets. You could use the bed sheets available at the rental, but then you have to wash them and dry them (again, never have heard of this before) or you would be charged. We had to leave very early the morning we left so we were forced to bring our own sheets.

Finally, every single part of the house has some sort of instruction written out. There is a note over the sink, every light switch, the phone, the remote. Its like the owners think you are a teenager watching the house while they are out of town for the weekend. It was just a little over the top for me. Add that to the 46 rules listed out and other checklists for the house before leaving and instead of a vacation, you have chores.

If you are looking for a vacation rental in the area, keep looking to a place that is way more reasonably priced and way more accomodating of the people staying there. The owners did help out with the hot tub that didn't work the first 2 days.

The house is very good, located with a beatiful Lake View. The house & the community has ample ameneties to keep kids and family happy. We cancelled most of our plan and pretty much stayed at the house and enjoyed the boating, hot tub and the grill. Would strongly recommend for anyone who want to get away from busy NY life and spend a week at this quite place.

Not to mention, the owners are great and maintain the property very well.

We rented this house for Christmas weekend. It was a beautiful house with a great lake view. However, it was only 3 bedroom with the following : master bedroom had a king size bed, and two other bedrooms had 4 twin beds. We were hoping there would be more beds to fit 8 people. The other place you could sleep was a sofa bed but it was super uncomfortable and it was located in the middle of the room so nobody wanted to sleep there.
We were also a bit annoyed with 100 rules. Before we left we had to wash all the sheets which took 2 hours to wash and dry. I think it's ridiculous and it should not be our job to do it with how much we paid for the house. Also the housekeeper came in and was extremely rude to us as we were waiting for the sheets to dry she yelled at us for staying past checkout and said she won't clean the house. She was very unproffesional.The owner apologized to us saying that she was as problem in the past but I dont know why they still keep her around.

Overall the house was nice and clean but hot tub is much smaller than the one int he picture even though it did fit 8 of us.
