Great family vacation

We have been staying in the area for approx 5 years and found the property to be the most enjoyable. House offered many amenities and was clean and comfortable. Mike was very responsive to the few needs/questions we had and gave a detailed list of everything the area had to offer. The lake was delightful and we look forward to visiting again.

Perfect home for a family vacation!

Our family of 8 - including grandparents and children - had a wonderful time at this spacious and comfortable lake house. The kayak, paddleboards, boat, dock, swingset, trampoline and grassy yard were perfect for time outside. Multiple grills and the fire pit were wonderful as well. Well stocked kitchen and comfy family room kept everyone happy. We had a wonderful week and look forward to returning!

Can't wait to return!

The views from the house and the sunset were amazing. We had such a great time hanging out at the house-paddle boarding, taking the boat out, sitting and enjoying the sun, fishing and just relaxing. Everyone had a wonderful time. The owner could not have been more responsive-thank you so much Mike!!!

Remarkable

Mike's place truly stands out. If anything, the place was better than depicted/described. An amazing yard with fire pit, big deck, tables, a dock, and all in great shape. Mike was very responsive and friendly, and we were very happy with our stay. Highly recommended.

Awesome place, fantastic owner

Was a little hesitant to book based on price for the area, but house was well worth it. Close to Elk in the winter (our stay), Crystal lake beautiful throughout the year. Owner could not have been better to deal with. Gave us Christmas as a free early check in and refunded a day when Covid hit one of us unexpectedly cutting trip short. House is gorgeous. Some funky, quirky things, like only one big couch in family room, no baths (usually like for ski trip), but all in all would highly recommend and definitely stay again!

Awesome Vacation!

First, Mike, the owner, couldn't have been more responsive and helpful. Now, the house....Not a five star hotel, but a fantastic kitchen and Great Room overlooking the lake. Outside...10 out of 10...beautiful view of the lake and unmatched resources for anyone who likes to cook. Weber gas grill, ceramic cooker and an Arteflame! I am an avid ceramic ( Big Green Egg) fan/owner, but I cooked on the Arteflame several time a day and loved it! The dock entrance allows little ones to walk into the lake at the pace comfortable to them. We had a ball with the provided kayak, paddleboards, and dingy. I would definitely rent this again!

About the host

Hosted by Mike

Host profile image
We have owned at CL for 10 years. We were VRBO owners at another house on the lake for 7 years and always had 5 stars. We just purchased and finished remodeling our house really for personal use. We did not intend to rent but decided we will share with right guests. Crystal Lake is a beautiful and quiet lake community so we will only rent to guests that will keep the peace with the lake community and commit to not having any social gatherings at the house. This isn’t a party lake so it has to be a good fit.

Why they chose this property

It’s a great house for enjoying lake life. It’s one of the best lakefront lots in NEPA.

What makes this property unique

Lakefront and very peaceful and serene.
