I have nothing but good things to say about this Lakeside gem. The view from the deck was magical. My children had a lot of 1st’s at the house that will remain fond memories forever. My daughter caught her first fish off the dock. They canoed and kayaked for the first time. We made Jiffy Pop popcorn on the fire pit and smores in the living room fireplace. They enjoyed playing the many games provided. The house had ample space for all nine of us. The room with the bunkbeds was perfect for all of my 5 daughters to sleep in. If I can make any suggestions, I would recommend providing more supplies when you have a family of 9 versus a family of 5. I must say that Edna was very responsive and accommodating. We asked for more paper goods she had them delivered quickly. I would also recommend adding reflective sign right before you turn onto the street. We missed the turn more than once LOL! Overall, we enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property & look forward to staying again in the future.

A great place for a family stay. We only had two nights to spend but enjoyed downtime on the deck, fishing and kayaking and a trip to Bushkill Falls. Tom and Edna were responsive and wonderful communicators.

Our family had such a wonderful time here. Leading up to and during our stay, Tom and Edna were both extremely responsive and helpful with recommendations. The home had plenty of space for us to cook/grill and enjoy our time together (all 8 of us) inside and outside. Some favorite moments from our long weekend was spending time drinking coffee and cocktails on the deck which was fully enclosed with a gate (we loved this for our two dogs), cooling off in the lake, taking the canoe out for a spin, s’mores around the camp fire, antiquing and grabbing beers at Barley Creek Brewery (which has a massive playground across the street). We took the kids to the beach and the pool after a morning of swimming off the dock and they waved goodbye to the lake house as we pulled out of the driveway. I’d imagine this place is extremely nice in early summer and early fall with all of the trees. Thank you for sharing your home with us!
