Lakefront offers privacy, year around fishing and nearby skiing at Elk Mountain!

Located at Acre Lake on Lakeview Drive in a lovely Northeastern Pennsylvania Community. Ski at nearby Elk Mountain during the winter or catch some fish on this 40-acre lake year around. Then, sit back and enjoy the peaceful and private accommodations that this newer furnished home has to offer. This 3 bedroom, 2 full bathrooms, also includes 3 smart TVs, extra space in the basement (recently renovated), plus a full-size washer and dryer, fishing boat with trolling motor, a 2-person kayak, and a pedal boat.

Don't forget to read our "special perks" section below, and what sets us apart from other vacation rentals.

The space
With many choices of lake houses to choose from, Legacy provides plenty of privacy between neighbors, as well as 3 of our mountain acres behind. Acre lake will never be overpopulated, and the location of our lake house offers quiet fishing experiences, yet motorboats and jet skis are also allowed in most other parts of the lake. We also offer early check-in times and late check-out times (upon request when booking), so you don't feel rushed at any time during your stay.


Guest access
We rent out the full property, so there is no sharing with anyone else.

Other things to note
Our lake house can accommodate 8 people comfortably, and guests are welcome to have small gatherings. We just added our second bathroom a few years ago, so now we have two full bathrooms. We recently updated our basement area as well.

We have oars and a trolling motor with our 12-foot fishing boat, a pedal boat that can have up to two adults and two small kids. We recently purchased a 2-person kayak to add to the fun. But please be aware that at any time, one or more of these may not be available, and we will do our best to let you know prior to your stay if something is out of commission, however, we do work quickly to resolve these issues as well.

"Special perks"
*For the best guest experience, we have chosen not to do back-to-back bookings. We believe our guests should not be rushed out at a certain time, and by request are welcome to stay a few hours after the 12 pm checkout, while we can still offer earlier check-ins most times as well. We also want to ensure a greater chance that any repairs or maintenance can be done between rentals.
*We offer basic cable but have also included Netflix for free.

*Privacy: Although we do have neighbors on both sides, most of the rentals in our area are "too" close to other homes. We have space on both sides of our lake house, surrounded by 3 acres that we own behind.

*Optimum fishing experience: Our lake does allow motorboats. However, since we are in front of an island, motorboats are required to slow down, as if a no-wake zone, which allows for a more relaxed fishing (and swimming) experience for our guests.

*Top-notch cleaning: We don't use a professional cleaning service, that most of the time, is well, not very clean. My sister-in-law, who takes great pride in her work and takes special care of our place, not just by deep cleaning it between rentals, but by keeping an eye on anything that is wearing out, broken, or needs current attention, and alerts me quickly on any special care that our lake house needs.

*Low rental rates: We offer lower rates than all of our competitors. We know that there are already fees associated with booking through VRBO and Airbnb, that we as owners also have to pay for, followed by our guests having to pay daily local PA taxes, so we lower our rates to accommodate everyone regardless of how few or how many guests there are. We want your stay to also be affordable, not just fun and relaxing. For stays one month or longer, there is no PA lodging taxes owed to our guests.

*A compassionate host: Legacy Lakehouse is hosted by us, not a professional or private host, who may get too busy to accommodate your needs, questions, and concerns quickly. We care about our guest's experience from start to finish. We want you to get the best experience that you can on your vacation and will try our best to quickly respond to any of your needs. PLEASE NOTE: We live in Arizona, and are 3 hours behind, so we may be slightly delayed in responding early in the mornings.

*Updated features: Although our home is over 50 years old, we will continuously take care of it inside out. If something gets too old, worn out, or doesn't work anymore, we strive to update it or replace it. Our guests will never be sleeping on old mattresses, dealing with worn-out furniture, or outdated features during your stay. We aren't perfect, but constantly strive to make your stay as relaxing and comfortable as possible.

Great place for Family Trip
Overall terrific place. Location on the lake is beautiful. House was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Spacious living room and kitchen well stocked with gear. The (recently completed) downstairs really added a lot with some more play space and a full second bath, plus an external monitor plus printer setup the ended up being very useful. Setup worked well with our two year old as there was not much breakable stuff to be worried about and the door to the basement stairs could be locked

Such a peaceful place!
My best friend and I stayed here for several days at the end of this summer. The property is breathtaking and communication was a breeze! The house is large and well laid out. The kitchen had all the tools we needed to make meals at home. There were multiple boats and fishing rods to use and all kinds of games and seating to enjoy each area. Waking up to the sounds of nature and fog on the lake was exactly what we needed. Perfect spot to unplug! Highly recommend and would love to stay again in the future!

Perfect winter stay for a ski weekend at Elk Mountain
Could not have found a better place with a better owner. Great area, amazing location with views over the lake and plenty of outdoor space to relax, fireplace and the house was fully stocked as well. Short 15min drive to Elk Mountain made it great for a ski weekend.

Beautiful house and scenery
Our stay was very relaxing and peaceful even though there are neighbors on the left and right of the house and around the lake it was very quite. We're looking forward to renting the house again in the near future. Rebecca the hoist was very helpful and responsive to any of my question.

Great family spring getaway!
Our family had a great time. Our kids were obsessed with the playset and the boat. Incredibly stocked and clean! It was so nice to relax in the sunroom, or the deck and watch the birds. We took great advantage of the firewood and enjoyed many cozy fires by the lake. Our kids have been asking to go back ever since.

Beautiful property to get away from it all.
What a great experience at this lakehouse. The house had everything we needed and then some. The fall landscape was breathtaking and we had so much fun fishing. We spent the majority of the time out on the lake and drove up to a couple local places for food and drinks. Highly recommended esp if you are looking for a relaxing lakefront home to take you away from the hustle and bustle of every day life.

Great stay at legacy lake house
Our family of 2 adults and 4 young children had a great time at the legacy lake house. It is very peaceful right by the lake. The play structure is a great addition for the kids. The house itself is very clean and well stuffed. We have everything we needed. Rebecca is a wonderful host, responds to our questions very quickly. We definitely will recommend to anyone who is looking for a place to get away.

Family ski vacation
Our stay was great! We slept 6 comfortably. About a 15 minute drive to elk mountain. We skied two days and enjoyed the house for three nights. Beautiful view of lake. House was clean and cozy. Kitchen fully stocked. The owner was really nice. I think it would be nice in the summer too. I recommend this rental to anyone interested in this area.

Wonderful!
I use VRBO alot and this was one of my top experiences! The host was so accommodating and easy to communicate with. The home was welcoming and comfortable and very clean! The fishing was great we got a bunch of sunnies and perch. Several big fat catfish and even some spotted bass. The area is nice and quiet and alot of great sunny areas to soak it all in. Will absolutely come back here!

Great Quiet Getaway
After the past few years, our family needed a relaxing getaway. We got exactly that with the property. Huge deck that allowed us to stretch out and unwind. We took the fishing boat out each day, and the kayaks were also used. Only issues were minor or outside of the control of the property, such as the water being so murky even my 9 year old son didn't want to swim in it. Otherwise, the place was exactly what we were looking for.

Relaxing fun for all
Great for the price. Quiet smaller lake. Great for paddle boating or kayaking with small kids (plenty of life jackets provided) or putting around in the trolling boat that has an electric motor (new batteries probably needed for next season). Well stocked kitchen. Host communicates really well. We took a trip to the Electric City Aquarium in Scranton on the rainy day and it was just right for our 7 and 9 year old grandsons. We had a wonderful relaxing time together with our family.

Peaceful weekend getaway
What a wonderful weekend we had at this beautiful home. The house was nice and clean and had more than enough to make us feel comfortable with a fully stocked kitchen, tons of blankets, towels, games and books for everyone. We enjoyed the fire pit and dinner on the grill. Our son had plenty to do on the swing set and watching the chipmunks by the little waterfall next to the house. The pond was extremely peaceful even with some rain. Since there was some ice we were unable to use the boats but we hope to be back in the warmer months!! I want this home to remain a secret!! Highly recommend!! Thank you Rebecca! :)
