The 62" TV is Wi-Fi enabled so bring your Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ passwords so you don't miss out on your favorite shows!
For those looking for outdoor adventures, the amenities of the Big Bass Lake community association are available to use for a small fee (please see the description of the community rules below). Lake front beaches, tennis courts, and kayak rentals are perfect for the summer adventures. Gouldsboro State Park is across the street and hiking, picnicking and boat rentals are also available on an hourly basis. In the fall and winter time, Big Bass Lake offers indoor swimming at their heated pool, tubing down their snowy hillside run, and an indoor fitness center to keep in shape.
Nearby you will find the indoor waterpark adventures of Kalahari or Camelbeach with their indoor and outdoor waterparks along with outdoor ropes courses, zip lines, and mountain coasters for down hill fun all less than 25 minutes away. If high-stakes gaming is more your style, Mount Airy Lodge is a short 25-minute day trip. For winter sports, Camel Back Mountain, Jack Frost, and Montage Mountain are all within a 30-minute drive.
And while A Perfect Getaway is designed for relaxing and getting away from it all, sometimes work calls. The fourth bedroom, in the basement, is also set up as a remote workstation. With a desk, printer, and 24" monitor ready to take care of emails or conference calls that can't be missed.

Our family getaway at this home was perfect! The host was very accommodating and quick to reply. Very charming home , clean and loved having access to the garage for easy exit and entry during the snow. Already talking about coming and staying again next year with out family
We had a great stay! Loved having access to the hot tub, perfectly stocked kitchen, and game room. I’ve never stayed somewhere that was as stocked with essentials as this place! Literally every kitchen gadget you can think of, and it was all labeled!
This is our second time staying at this property. Our family enjoyed the time spent playing games and relaxing in the hot tub. I can’t say enough good things about our Christmas is spent in the Poconos.
Everything about our stay was incredible. The beds were comfortable, the amendments were fantastic, and the house was very clean. Our hosts were incredibly responsive and we definitely plan to stay here again.
Excellent location and perfect property! As described, we found ourselves relaxing in the hottub, playing arcade games and thoroughly enjoying the property! Will definitely stay again when we come back!
Amazing host who really made us feel welcome the second we arrived. Every amenity was thought of and available to us. Host responded to all of my questions quickly and efficiently. Best place we’ve ever stayed!
I feel like more than 5 stars need to be an option! The hosts were absolutely fantastic. The house was clean and the beds were so comfy. We had a totally relaxing and fun weekend spent at the home. It was definitely “A Perfect Getaway”. 3
This is actually the perfect getaway! There was incredible attention to detail with fully stocked kitchen, coffee and tea, drinking water dispenser, all the games pictured and so many board games, and even a heated walkway out to the hot tub! We didn’t watch much tv but there are plenty of tvs for those who may want to watch different things. Bathrooms were perfectly clean and stocked with soaps and towels. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
This place was amazing and perfect for our group of 7...and one lab. The house is very clean and has many things available to use to make your stay easy! We enjoyed the basement that has so many games to enjoy from little kids to adults!
This place was perfect for a family vacation. It had all the bells and whistles. They thought of everything including an awesome gameroom and large jacuzzi! Planning to stay again soon.
Very well outfitted home in an idyllic setting with deer walking around outside at all times. Hot tub on Patio deck was wonderful to relax in while snow was falling, and the game room provided some for some good family entertainment. Chris and Allison are wonderful hosts that are there to help with anything you might need during your stay. Highly recommended.
The property was great. Everything was as advertised and in impeccable condition. Our family and dogs enjoyed the nearby state parks and the amenities at Big Bass Lake.The property owners were attentive with just the right communication.
This property was clean and had everything we needed for two families. The game room was great for the kids and the adults too! The owner is extremely responsive and answers all your questions. I would go back!!
The homeowners, Chip and Allison, were so responsive to any and all questions we had both before and during our trip. The property was clean, organized, tidy and well-supplied. Everything is labeled and easy to locate and use. The game room in the basement was a family favorite. We enjoyed air hockey, darts, pinball, Ms. Pac-Man, and watching Netflix. The bedrooms were spacious. Our kids LOVED the hot tub. The deck is a wonderful place to hang out and the front porch offered opportunities to see deer (and their fawns!), groundhogs, and other wildlife. The fire pit and the grill were great, too. We really had a wonderful time and if we ever vacation in the Poconos again, we will definitely book this property!
We celebrated our 2023 Thanksgiving here and this was truly the "perfect getaway". The house is immaculate from top to bottom.
We spent many hours playing darts and board games down in the basement and found the hot tub to be relaxing and refreshing. The house itself is so well stocked. And the layout, having most of bedrooms and living spaces on a single floor was perfect for my older parents and kept them apart of everything that went on.
We opted to not buy the clubhouse passes because frankly there was enough to do in the house that we never felt we needed to.
Overall it was a great holiday and Chip and Allison were so easy to work with.
Our family stayed here in August 2023 for a three-week holiday in the Poconos. The house is part of the Big Bass Lake community, although it isn't inside the gated part (which we liked because we didn't need to keep going in and out through the gates). The house is as described - it was very clean, carefully thought through, and well-stocked with items necessary for convenience. The beds were comfortable, and every room had ACs and overhead fans. The hot tub was clean and well-maintained, and there were lots of games and activities we could occupy our time with. The hosts were accommodating, communicative, and supportive of our needs and requests. What more could you ask for? We had a great time and would return. We strongly recommend staying at this house!
I wish we weren't just getting away for 3 days and we had a full week to stay at this house. Everything was great. Clean, comfortable (great beds) everything clearly marked so you knew what switches went to what lights. Super well appointed, with kitchen and bathroom supplies. Game room (loved playing pinball) and hot tub were fantastic! Nice deck, cornhole and a grill for outdoor fun. Not far from shopping and restaurants. The only thing I could possibly think of that might be a little difficult for people who have trouble with stairs is, the staircases to the front porch and from the game/family rooms to the main level are fairly steep. Great communication with the owners. got an immediate response to a couple texts we sent them. Very friendly and care about guests having the best stay possible for a perfect getaway.
