Property was in impeccable shape, great location right on the lake. The bedrooms and bathrooms had all the modern conveniences as well little extra thoughtful touches. We enjoyed the open floor plan in the living room and kitchen overlooking the lake. The deck was perfect in the morning for sipping coffee and enjoying nature. Only 10 minutes to drive to Jim Thorpe for groceries or an ice cream run.
We stayed here a few years ago and it was PERFECT and again it was better than perfect. The home and communication are spot on and so clean! We can’t wait to visit again
This house had everything we needed for a few days away with a family of four and two grandparents. Everyone had enough space, the house was stocked, and the lake was perfect. Great vacation!
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this lakeside house! The property was stunning, with breathtaking views and a peaceful atmosphere. Our guests had a fantastic time, and the house was equipped with everything we needed. The host was incredibly responsive and thoughtful, making our experience even better. We highly recommend this property and look forward to returning at summer time!!! Thank you so much for a great experience.
What a beautiful and CLEAN house. Cant wait to go back. Five stars for sure *****Owners were awesome. Clear instructions everything labeled. Big. Roomy. Awesome views of the Lake. Needed some peace and serenity and we certainly found it.

Wanda, so glad you enjoyed your stay, and hope the pickleball was good too!
My family and I had a great time at this house. It's very well decorated, the space is really functional, and the lake it's on is lovely. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a space for a large group.
We all enjoyed our time on the lake and love that the hosts made kayaks, paddle boards, bikes, helmets, and life jackets in all sizes available without our having to bring everything with us. The house is very clean, smartly decorated, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
This home was absolutely lovely! It had every amenity we needed and was cozy with a fantastic view! We're already looking at dates for another long weekend!
Bear Creek Lake is one of our favorite places! Having so many things there already, such as linens, towels and watercraft, made it so easy. This place was gorgeous and the owners were so responsive! We hope to be back again!

My family and I had a wonderful time during our stay at Bear Creek Lake retreat! The lakefront house is absolutely beautiful and is equipped with everything we needed. The host checked in with us and made us feel very welcome. The lake is perfect for swimming, floating and kayaking. We also enjoyed playing tennis at the recreational center (passes were included). Highly recommend!

We loved this property so much. The location, the home, all of the amenities. We enjoyed sitting by the campfire in the evenings. During the day we hit all the shops and pubs in Jim Thorpe and had the best time. Will likely come back and will most definitely recommend to all friends as and family!
