Had a great time at BBL this holiday weekend. House was clean and comfortable. Our kids, ages 9 and 13 loved playing in the area surrounding the house - plenty of cleared space for playing ball as well as wooded areas for exploring and watching deer. Beach was clean and the lake calm enough for kids to canoe on their own. Thank you Jeff!

Owner response:Thank you Julie! Your family is always welcome in our home and we hope you spend time next year at Big Bass again.

Wonderful Getaway

The place and our entire weekend was better than we could have planned. Let me start by saying the home IS incredibly comfortable, charming, and spacious. The interior setup is modern and homely with a touch of rustic. The home's landscape is vast, with enough room between neighbors to really allow a secluded feel to the vacation. The family of deer, always near by watching us grill and try and take their pictures, was such a constant delight. The community locals were most pleasant and communicative, on days where we'd be enjoying the lakes and/or beach. The use of the canoes was also a really added enjoyment. Everything about the community was very serene and relaxing. We loved everything about this vacation. Thank you again for welcoming us into your home and allowing us to share in some wonderful memories in Big Bass Lake.

Owner response:We are very happy that you had such a great time. Please come back to stay with us the next time you visit Big Bass Lake!

I rented this property to spend a weekend with my wife and kids at poconos. The house was great, very well taken care of. Beautifull play area for the kids with a swing set. The lake was very nice and clean as well. The house was clean, and in great shape. You can tell the owners take great pride in it and use it often themself. A steep spiral staircase maid it a bit tough for our 3 year old but in all fairness the owner Jeff warned me abou that upfront. Overall a great time. Deer everywhere. Almost every time you come outside there's one or more looking back at you. The community is very quiet.

Owner response:Thank you! We are so glad that you enjoyed your time at our house at Big Bass Lake.

Great Family Get Away

I so enjoyed my time away at this home at Big Bass Lake. The huge yard provided hours of fun and relaxation for my entire family. The kids loved exploring especially by the small stream that runs adjacent to the house, There was so much to do - hiking, canoeing, swimming and blueberry picking. We even got to see a local firemen's parade and attend a carnival in the area. We also headed to CamelBeach just a half hour away for a day at the waterpark. The home is so cozy and well-kept. The bathrooms and kitchen were extremely clean and loved the fact that there are wood floors throughout the house. The bedrooms are spacious and simply but nicely decorated. The high ceilings and windows all around gave such an open feeling and allowed us to view nature from all angles. It was beautiful to see the family of deer in the yard. Loved that the home has 3 decks for everyone to relax on and have some quiet time if they chose to. My family has enjoyed this home now in the fall and summer and I truly can't choose which I liked better. Both seasons gave us the opportunity to enjoy the land and the surrounding environment. The leaves in the fall were absolutely spectacular. It was truly a fun-filled yet relaxing vacation for the whole family. I would recommend this property to any of my friends or family for a delightful getaway.

Owner response:Thank you Dawn! Your family is always welcome to come and enjoy staying at the house.

Perfect getaway for us! We had a two hour drive and it was very easy to find. All the amenities of the community(lake swiming, boating, great pools) were great and there is always something happening nearby (Firetruck Parade,Carnival) No matter what your interest is in coming here you can find it if not in the community a short ditance awy . Would stay again in a heartbeat (house very well maintained in tranquil location).

Owner response:Please join us anytime Stan!

We had a great stay. The house is cozy but large enough to spread out and get some peace for yourself. The house is well maintained and the owner is very accommodating. You can drive to most attractions within a half hour's time. My oldest daughter loved being able to go swimming in the winter. We all loved seeing the deer throughout the day. We will definitely be coming back.

Owner response:Thank you! Please come back any time.

To the Rhode Family, Our family spent New Years Eve weekend at your lovely home. When we first walked in, we were very impressed of how clean it was. That is important to us as we are in a strange home. The coziness was a plus as we felt right at home within minutes. The rooms are perfect sizes and the beds were very comfortable. The appliances were very nice and worked perfectly.Our children are 15,13, and 8 and they enjoyed all the games/puzzles/movies that were at the house. We would rent this property again in the future if it is available. Thanks again for a perfect New Years!! The Caputo's

Owner response:Thank you! Your family is welcome to come back any time. We hope you will come during the summer when our beautiful yard, lakes, and pools can be taken advantage of.

Thanks to the Rhode family for allowing us to stay at their house. It was so lovely, especially with the lakes and beautiful house to live in for a few days. There are many things to do nearby, such as swimming at the pool, going to the lakes, "The Station House" with the kids for fun things to do, hiking at the state park, kayaking, and so much more. The deer families were so adorable, as well, to see so close up right next to the creek! We highly recommend this house to all! Thanks again.

Owner response:Thank You! We are so happy that you enjoyed staying at our house and hope that you will return again next year. Your family is always welcome to come!

We had a great stay over Memorial Day weekend with family and friends. The house was clean and spacious with lots of places to relax. We loved the large backyard where the kids played for hours. Safe, clean, relaxing, we couldn't ask for more. The owners are incredibly nice, honest and helpful. Had a great VRBO experience. Thanks for sharing your home. Would definately rent again.

Owner response:Thank you so much for renting with us! We hope to see your family and friend come back next year.
