We enjoyed our stay very much. The house was set up very well and we had many things to do. Most of us had little or no experience on the kayaks or canoe. But found them very enjoyable and it was very nice that everything was there and included for us to use.

Relaxing Lake Vacation

The location of the house is excellent with beautiful views. Right next to the swimming and beach area for the kids. Plenty of watercraft for use including life vests. Kitchen is well stocked with the exception of a few nice griddles or frying pans.

Rainy Weekend Saved by Home

1-2 times a year good friends get away to fish. This time the weather did not cooperate but the home did. We were able to play cards, pool, darts and watch the NFL draft. We also had a great meal and drinks at nearby Lombardi’s. The home was extremely clean and spacious and offered everything we needed. Thank you.

Yearly family vacation

We had a wonderful stay at the lake house. The property was perfect for our large family of 11. We enjoyed the use of the kayaks & paddle boards. The new dock was a pleasant surprise from last year’s dock. We felt it was much safer for our grandchildren. The location to the public beach and playground was a plus too!

Beautiful house with great view

We had a wonderful time. The house was perfect for our family of 8! Spotless upon arrival! Even has a generator which was great to have when we lost power during a rain storm. Our only suggestion is to let renters know that this is in a community with amenities that are an extra cost (public beach, community center activities, pool, playgrounds)

Perfect family weekend

Great access for boating, paddleboatding, fishing or just enjoying the sunset by the lake. Wonderful amenities. Everything we needed for a comfortable family weekend. House was very clean, well set up, plenty of information and instructions. Ample room for 5 couples. Pool table, darts and games for the rainy times. Gorgeous view from the great room windows. Clear communication from the owners. Excellent experience!!

An Ideal Spot for Our Annual Family Trip – Comfortable, Convenient, and Fun!

We had a fantastic stay at this house in the Poconos for our annual family trip! The location was perfect, right next to the beach area and the food truck, making it easy to go back and forth. The property featured a small beach area with a fire pit, a nice dock for swimming, and plenty of space for our watercraft. The provided boat with a trolling motor worked perfectly, and there were life jackets in every size. The house had a great layout and everyone slept comfortably, especially with air conditioning in every bedroom. We enjoyed the pool at the community center and had a blast at bingo on Wednesday night. The three bathrooms and washer-dryer were very convenient. The kitchen was well-equipped with a nice island. The basement pool table and well-maintained lawn for yard games were wonderful additions. The deck had a cooler, a working grill, smoking receptacles, and comfortable chair cushions. The owner clearly takes good care of the property. The only minor issue was that the kitchen cabinets could have been more organized, but we understand that’s challenging between guests. Overall, we had a memorable and enjoyable stay and would highly recommend this property. We’re definitely coming back next year!

Memorial Weekend Holiday

Weather co-operated for our long weekend getaway making for an enjoyable stay at Big Bass Lake. The community was great and the house was easy to find. Upon arrival we found the home to be clean, tidy and well organized. A beautiful lake view was had from both inside and out….peaceful and serene. Ducks visited each day looking to get photographed while sitting on the big rock in the water. The kitchen was stocked with all the pots, pans and utensils you’d ever need for cooking, however it lacked basic cooking spices, oil, coffee and sugar. Luckily the grocery store wasn’t very far away. We liked Chillin’ and Grillin’ and everyone sitting down together after a day of fun was the best. There was a nice selection of adult books and even a chess set. Sadly our stay wasn’t long enough to take advantage of either. Missing game and puzzle pieces made for some ‘kiddo whining’ but playing Pool in the game room was a big plus! All in all it was a wonderful time away with many memories made. Thank you again, Bonnie, for your quick responses from beginning to end. It made things easy. Regards, Linda
