Lakefront Home w/ Hot Tub, Game Room, Deck, Boats, Fire Pit
Relaxation and tranquility await at our beautiful lakefront home, located just over an hour from NYC. perfect escape for those who want to feel like they are a world away, but may not want to drive for hours to get there. Located in Penn Estates Community of East Stroudsburg, our lakefront home feels cozy and secluded with a large, private, wooded property and direct access to the backyard lake. The home sleeps a total of 12 adults, with 5 bedrooms, and 3 full freshly renovate bathrooms.
Came with a group of friends to spend a weekend reconnecting and enjoy time together. Overall the interior of the home is in good shape, everything was clean and in good working order.
However it should be noted that this house is not a 6 bedroom home, itâs really 4 bedrooms with a pullout couch and a barn door room as the last two âbedroomsâ. It does say that in the details of the listing but at first glance it may be easy to misread. So it may not be ideal for a larger group but the rooms are clean, comfortable, and the overall property is nice.
Feliks, the host, is great! Communication was quick, detailed, and provided exactly what we needed to enjoy our stay.
One last note is that the home is located in a gated community. Be sure to fill out your passes on the check-in instructions provided by the host (itâs lengthy but necessary). If you do not fill it out exactly thereâs no way you or your guests will be admitted to the neighborhood (our group didnât experience that issue but others at the gate did). Also, Iâd suggest avoiding arriving directly at 4pm as it appears there are multiple rentals in the area and the wait to get in due to security was lengthy. Theyâre just doing their jobs so work with them and theyâll work with you.
Overall a nice place for friends and family to spend a quiet weekend
The house was great. The kitchen was equipped with everything you needed for big family meals. We enjoyed the hot tub and outdoor fire pit. Great views of the lake and lots of deer to see. Feliks was the best. Always responded immediately.
This house had everything we needed for a wonderful family vacation! My husband and I, 3 grown children and their significant others were very comfortable, had plenty of space and had a lovely time. Besides the common areas, there were many other spaces to retreat to if you just wanted to do your own thing! It was also very well appointed with everything needed to enjoy a lakeside retreat! The only downside was getting in and out of this property (itâs within a gated community) was very frustrating - they need a better system.
Overall, wonderful and we will definitely be coming back!
I loved the house itself, some of it amenities, and the location was amazing but it needs work. The manager Feliks was great at communicating and making repairs himself once we checked in but there were a few things that could have been much better. Cleanliness, outdoor maintenance, and indoor repairs and fixing up would make this an excellent place to stay. If this gets improved I would for sure come back.
Our family of four (2 teenagers) enjoyed a great getaway to the Poconos for spring break. After a bit of an issue at check-in (which was handled easily and expediently by Feliks), we greatly enjoyed the stay. The house and the property are quite beautiful, and imagine will be even more so during the coming summer months. Plenty of space to spread out with a fully equipped kitchen and nicely appointed bedrooms and bathrooms The Wifi worked great and we enjoyed reading by the fire, paddling / fishing in the provided kayaks (caught a small bass) and making sâmores in the outdoor firepit under the bright stars.
The highlight was the hot tub, which fit our family of 4 perfectly⊠(could fit 6) and after our evening soaks - we retired to the basement entertainment area to watch our favorites on Netflix and Disney+. Easy access to hiking and outdoor activities, as well as 10-15 mins to many restaurants, wineries, breweries and all that Stroudsburg has to offer.
Overall, our group had a fantastic time at Felik's property. The house was as pictured and very clean. There were a few hiccups along the way (empty gas tank for fireplace, difficulty getting pizza delivery through security gate, etc.) but Feliks was incredibly responsive and did everything he could do remedy any situations we had. The surrounding East Stroudsburg area is fantastic and the home location is unbeatable. Felik's is working out the kinks as a first-time host, but I would definitely recommend staying at his home.
I purchased this property together with my brother in 2020 to have a place to escape the commotion of NY and NJ. We've done our best to make a comfortable and relaxing environment that delivers the serenity of nature, without being hours away from home.
The most obvious feature is the lake in our backyard, but we also loved how the house was nestled into the woods, far from neighbors, and with plenty of room to hang out.
