Great vacation spot on Lewis Lake

Everything about our trip was wonderful. The hosts, Robert and Karen are delightful and had provided lots of excellent info about the area prior to our arrival. The home itself was clean and provided great access to Lewis Lake. It was also close to many attractions and dining options, with a great place within walking distance. We look forward to returning here in the future.

Great getaway for Elk Mountain

The property was nicely set up and ready for us upon arrival. The check-in process went very smoothly and Robert was very easy to communicate with. The property was clean, homey and only a short 10 minute drive to Elk mountain. There is a nice restaurant nearby as well for post ski drinks and food. It was a great stay to get out and ski for the weekend at Elk.

excellent weekend stay!

We came out for our annual trip to Elk Mountain and Bob was a fantastic host. Very responsive and helpful. The house was perfect and exactly as listed — excellent kitchen, wonderfully spacious living room, perfectly fine bedrooms, and plenty of towels/sheets/blankets. Happy to have found Bob and the lake house, we'll definitely be booking here again next year for the same trip!

Perfect family stay

Our boys fished the entire day and night away catching and releasing! There was plenty of outddoor space for a family get together. We had great host that answered any question we had. The house is exactlly as shown in pictures. The "cozy sleeping area" is just as much a bedroom as the others. We visit p.a often as i have family there! We have found our new everytime stay!

Short Ski Getaway

My family and I stayed at Bob's place on the lake for a quick two day ski getaway at Elk Mountain where the home is about 7 minutes from the slopes. Bob was super helpful answering a few questions we had. The house is older but very clean and tidy and perfect for our family of five.

Father’s Day weekend fishing.

Gathered with some friends over Father’s Day weekend to do a little quiet fishing. It was exactly what I expected and needed. Great house, great quiet lake and Bob the host was on top of everything. Would definitely rent again. Thanks Bob.

Great lake house

The house was great. Everything you need is inside (pots, pans, utensils, cutlery, even a griddle for pancakes). The inside of the house was spotless. Outside- the multi level decks and outdoor grill were great for our fall getaway. The lake is viewable from the kitchen and sunroom. We used the fire pit on a chilly late October night and it was great. The owners are so nice and offer details of everything to do in the area. We will be visiting again next year.

Lakeside cabin in the Poconos

Nicely laid out 3 bedroom cottage exceptionally well equipped. Nice slopping lawn to a lovely small swimmable . Great deck on 2 levels facing lake with a good propane grill. Three air conditioners and several overhead fans kept the place comfortable. The icing on the cake was the proximity to the D&H bike trail, 1/2 mi. away. Our hosts were very friendly and accomodating.

The cottage was comfortable and clean. Bit dated but that’s what cottages are about. Bob and his wife where lovely. The kitchen was fully equipped. BBQ worked great. It does only have Roku on the TV. Overall it was a pleasant stay.

Comfortable Elk Ski Trip

Bob and his wife waited for us to ensure our check-in process was smooth. The house was clean and well-stuffed. They even provide first-aid supplies which was useful when my boy scratched himself. The WIFI was strong and the ROKU TV easy to use. Beds were very comfortable and the heating system was strong. 10 min drive to Elk. 2 min drive to a nearby cafe with great sandwiches and bakeries. A very pleasant ski trip for the whole family.
