I am originally from the area and we wanted a peaceful weekend on the lake. We couldn’t have asked for more with this place! The house is amazing! Even with the chilly weather we were able to use the fire table and enjoy time outside. There is a ton of space AND bathrooms which is usually hard to find. We will definitely be bringing a group back so they can also enjoy this lovely space. The service responses were also quick and friendly. I’ve never rented through AvantStay before but each text inquiry was responded with immediately and when I had to call we were able to talk to an actual person without having to jump through automated hoops. Highly recommend!

A hometown return that still managed to impress, that's the lake doing its job! Fire table evenings in chilly weather and bathrooms to spare sealed it. We're glad reaching a real person was easy, that matters to us too. Thank you for the recommendation, and bring that group anytime!

Beautiful location. The home could have been cleaner. Primary shower door had hard water stains and black mold. Lots of cob webs around. Also a significant amount of wear and tear for a “newly built” home. Marks on the walls, damage to wall around kitchen island. The dehumidifier in the basement hadn’t been emptied so it was very musty.

Response from VrboOwner on Sep 24, 2026
We're glad the location delivered, but the home clearly wasn't at the standard we hold ourselves to, and for that we're sorry. Your notes on the shower, cobwebs, wall wear, and dehumidifier have all gone directly to our housekeeping and maintenance teams to make it right. We appreciate the honest feedback and would welcome the chance to show you a much better stay.

We had a wonderful three day weekend at this beautiful lake house. The view of the lake is spectacular. The property was beautiful inside and out. It was clean, updated and had everything we needed to fully enjoy our time away. We would definitely book this home again. This house is huge with three levels of rooms to explore. The bottom level walks out to the lake area. It was really a fantastic house for a family getaway. We loved it!

We had such a great weekend at Penn Lake! The house was absolutely beautiful, spotless, and so cozy from the moment we arrived. The lake views were peaceful and relaxing, and one of our favorite parts was taking the canoes out on the water, so much fun and such a perfect way to enjoy the scenery. Everything was well maintained and made our stay feel comfortable and stress-free. You can tell a lot of care goes into this home. We made amazing memories here and would definitely love to come back!

This property was perfect. The location is easy access from the interstate. The neighbors are nice. The home is exactly as pictured. Communication from Avantstay was timely and professional. I gave them feedback on some kitchen items but other than that the home comes with everything you need, even beach towels. We were in the lake all day, every day. There were chairs on the lower lever so you could sit by the water. The kayaks and canoe were great. The lake is clear and perfect temperature for swimming (2nd week of August). There’s a public beach across the lake with a jumping platform which is where we killed time before checking in. Great property. Only thing missing would be making it pet friendly so we could bring our pup. Still, such a wonderful vacation!

Hearing that you spent all day, every day in the lake is exactly the kind of vacation we hope guests have here. We're so glad the home matched what you saw in the photos, that the easy interstate access made arrival simple, and that the kayaks, canoe, and waterfront chairs got plenty of use. Thank you as well for the notes on the kitchen items, which we've shared with our team, and we appreciate you mentioning the pet policy so we can keep that in mind. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we'd love to welcome you back for another week on the water.
