Location: Fairview Lake, Poconos, Northeastern Mountains, Pennsylvania, USA (10 Miles West of Hawley, PA)
Accommodations: House, 6 Bedrooms, 4 Baths (Sleeps 14)
Beautiful home nestled in the woods on the shores of Fairview Lake. We have 300 feet of shore line and one and half acres of property covered in mountain laurel, rhodedenderon, and wild blueberries. Our home is oriented toward the west and captures sunsets over the lake.
Our three level home features interior beams, stairs, and loft railings made of logs cleared from the property. These with pine paneling, wide plank yellow pine flooring, and white walls give a warm and airy feel. The living room on the main floor features a cathedral ceiling, with huge windows overlooking the lake and a fireplace with raised hearth. The elevated deck also overlooks the lake, as does the screened-in porch, equipped for family gatherings with its 12 foot picnic table. Another feature of the house is the screened in porch at the other end of the house --- a great place for a quiet read. Recreation room downstairs, with TV and games. On the top floor more bedrooms, the master suite with whirlpool tub.
A woodsy path takes you down to our large dock, a great spot for sunning, swimming, stargazing. Canoe, kayaks and a row boat await you. Since we are on the quiet side of the point, in a no wake zone, it's a good spot for watching wildlife and fishing.
A short walk brings you to a park with tennis courts, basketball and handball courts, an athletic field, and a playground with covered picnic area. Just a few steps further down Gumbletown Road is Coutt's Blueberry farm, U-pick heaven (and ice cream rewards in the gift shop!) 15 min drive takes you to Hawley for antiquing, farmer's market, spa and fine dining (the Settler's Inn is our favorite). Great golf courses all 30-45 minutes away. In winter, we are only 45 minutes from the best skiing in the Poconos, and Tanglewood, for beginners, is just 5 minutes away.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
This home is owned by two families, and rented by the Simonses. We each have a batch of kids, and love the lake, its wildlife, and bringing our relatives and friends up to share it with us.
Why the Owner Chose Fairview Lake
We chose this piece of land because we fell in love with it. My husband grew up going to Lake Wallwenpaupack, and I grew up going to a small lake in northern Wisconisin that was owned by my grandmother. We loved that it is ringed by wild blueberries -- our family calls it "Blueberry Lake".
We built the house with another family, business partners of my husband's, and have truly enjoyed the benefits of sharing the property. We never know what the other family may have left for us to find (decoration? furniture?) and we share the workload of owning a second home which is considerable.
The Unique Benefits of this House
We love to feel the way the stress just falls off our shoulders when we arrive! We love the sounds of wind in the pines, the feel of the water, the way the house captures light and looks out over the lakes. In August, Wystan loves to make bluberry jam every year that we eat all winter long. Wystan and Edward often celebrate their wedding anniversary with dinner at The Settler's Inn, in Hawley, which is their favorite restaurant --anywhere.
