LAKEFRONT - HOT TUB, Gameroom, Beach, Playground, Firepit, 5 min to SKI RESORTS

This is a true lakefront house literally right next to the community beach and less than 10 minutes/2.5 miles from Big Boulder Ski Resort. This home is in the heart of the Pocono Mountains in Blakeslee PA near Lake Harmony.

This sprawling Lakefront lodge will feel like home with a fully loaded gameroom where you can enjoy playing pool, shuffleboard, Foosball, air hockey, card games at the bar card table, and many board games. Enjoy a nice evening fire by the lake in two fire pits with plenty of seating for everyone. Take a ride in one of our kayaks from the marina. You can Fish right from the edge of the property directly into the lake. Enjoy TV in every bedroom and living rooms., and an outdoor hot tub set high among the trees on the second story deck, 16 ft patio table, with a propane grill and more! You'll have easy parking to avoid the car shuffling. The house is literally steps from the beach, community playground, pavilion, and more!

Very nice property with seven bedrooms all with at least one queen/full bed which was perfect for our group of 13 adults. The house is on the lake and very well equipped with kitchen supplies and activities. We enjoyed our family celebration and time together in this house.

Lakeside Retreat with Friends
Had a great time at the lake house with friends. The house was spacious and comfortable. The highlight was definitely the kayaks – it was fun exploring the lake with them. Evenings by the fire pit wrapped up our days perfectly. Recommended for a chill getaway.

Family Holiday Vacation
My family enjoyed this home over the Christmas holiday. The property was spacious with plenty of options to gather or find space alone. The hot tub, fire pit, and game room were a hit for both adults and children. The kitchen and dining room were large enough to prepare our holiday buffet and seat everyone comfortably. The Christmas tree was a nice touch. We are looking forward to returning in the summer to enjoy the lake and park.
