Lovely 3BR/2BA Lakehouse Retreat in Gated Dubois, PA—Near Beach, Woods & Privacy
Relax, Reconnect, and Recharge at This Private Lake & Woodland Retreat in DuBois, PA
Welcome to your serene escape in the heart of Pennsylvania’s natural beauty — a unique lake house-meets-cabin getaway tucked inside a peaceful gated community just minutes from DuBois, PA. Whether you’re seeking a romantic weekend, a family vacation, or a quiet solo retreat, this charming property offers the perfect blend of privacy, comfort, and rustic elegance.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel the world slow down. Surrounded by whispering pines, gentle breezes, and birdsong, this is the kind of place where stress melts away and time seems to stand still. Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac, our home offers complete tranquility—no through traffic, no crowds, just the soothing rhythm of nature and the comforts of home.
A Home That Blends Lakehouse Luxury with Woodland Warmth
Step inside and experience the welcoming charm of a space designed for relaxation. The house beautifully balances the open, airy feel of a lakeside retreat with the cozy warmth of a mountain cabin.
The living room is the heart of the home, where you can curl up by the gas fireplace with a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening. Large windows let in natural light and offer peaceful wooded views, creating the perfect spot to read, nap, or simply unwind.
A Kitchen That Feels Like Home
The fully equipped kitchen makes dining in a pleasure. Whether you’re making a hearty breakfast before a day on the lake, grilling outdoors, or sharing a family dinner around the table, you’ll find everything you need—from cookware and utensils to modern appliances.
Enjoy your meals indoors with a view of the woods, or head outside to dine al fresco on the wraparound porch as the evening light filters through the trees.
Outdoor Living at Its Best
The backyard is where this home truly shines. Step outside to your own private slice of Pennsylvania nature. Sit by the fire pit under a sky full of stars, share stories, and roast marshmallows as the fire crackles. For those who love to cook outdoors, there’s also a park-style charcoal grill—perfect for a summer barbecue or casual evening meal.
The wraparound porch offers the perfect vantage point to sip morning coffee, read a book, or simply take in the sounds of the forest. On cool evenings, the glow from the indoor fireplace makes the transition from day to night feel magical.
The Best of Both Worlds — Lakehouse in the Front, Woodsy Cabin in the Back
One of the most unique aspects of this property is its dual personality. The front of the home offers the calming atmosphere of a lakeside stay. Meanwhile, the back of the home opens to a private wooded area, giving you that classic Pennsylvania cabin-in-the-woods feeling. It’s truly the best of both worlds — lake and forest, all in one peaceful property.
Minutes from the Beach
You don’t have to go far to find water and fun! The community’s beach area is just minutes away, where you can enjoy swimming, the park, the large swings, or simply soaking up the sun. It’s a great spot for families and couples alike, offering a mix of relaxation and recreation.
Whether you’re planning a lazy day by the shore or a sunset stroll along the water, the convenience of being so close to the beach makes every day feel like a vacation.
Prime Location in a Peaceful, Gated Community
Our home is located within a secure gated community on the outskirts of DuBois, Pennsylvania, offering the perfect balance of privacy and accessibility. You’ll feel tucked away from the bustle of daily life, yet still be within a short drive to restaurants, shops, grocery stores, and local attractions.
If you’re craving outdoor adventure, the area offers endless possibilities: hiking trails, fishing spots, boating, ATV routes, and scenic drives. You can explore nearby Treasure Lake, S.B. Elliott State Park, or take a day trip to Cook Forest State Park for hiking and wildlife viewing. In the winter, you can even enjoy cross-country skiing or cozy fireside days watching the snow fall.
Evenings Made for Relaxation
When night falls, the property transforms into a cozy hideaway. Step out onto the porch with a blanket and look up — on clear nights, the stars are simply breathtaking. The quiet of the cul-de-sac means no city noise, no light pollution, just the soft sounds of the forest and the occasional hoot of an owl.
You’ll find yourself falling in love with the simple pleasures here: the crackle of the fire pit, and the laughter of friends and family echoing through the yard. It’s the kind of place that reminds you how beautiful the simple moments can be.

Perfect size house for staying at Treasure Lake for a family of 4. Really liked how quiet the location was and the beautiful backyard. Our favorite part of our stay was the lake decor theme throughout the house, very well done.

I'm so glad you had such a nice stay! We also love to sit and watch the wildlife from the back porch. We look forward to you coming back next year!
We had a quiet relaxing trip this the 2 of us. A perfect place for a couple to enjoy quiet and relaxation or a place to enjoy time with the family, We can't wait to visit again and bring our adult children over the summer.
The house was very welcoming and allowed us to regroup in between gatherings with extended family. The setting is beautiful with all the wildlife at our finger tips. Back to nature kind of weekend!

Thank you for the review. The instruction to only use the front gate is in the Welcome message I sent with the house entry information and address of the guard gate to use for entry into Treasure Lake property.
We had a great stay with three adults and a 19 month old. It was very clean, super easy to check-in, and it had everything we could need, including a travel crib. The kitchen was well stocked with all the tools and spices, which made cooking so easy. Kim and Jerry left out a thoughtful basket of snacks and an awesome coffee setup too. We loved watching the deer from both the front and back deck. Walking distance to a great playground and beach. I wish we were able to take advantage of the perfect fire pit, but the weather was against us. Thanks again for an awesome stay, we will be back!

Christina, Thank you for the kind review. We loved hosting you! You were an exemplary guest. Hopefully next time the weather will be more favorable for enjoying the firepit! I'm so glad you had a great stay. Haven on the Lake welcomes you back any time!
The house was very nice and accommodated our work crew very well. The heat could have been set to a little more than 54 degrees upon arrival though. Would definitely stay there again.
Thank you for the stars, Rhonda! We're so glad you stayed at Haven on the Lake! Come again any time😊

Hello, We are Kim and Jerry. We are from Pittsburgh and we love hosting others in our home. This is our getaway, that we don't getaway to often enough so we decided to share it with others. We're so glad you chose Haven on the Lake. We surely hope you find it as relaxing as we do.
Why they chose this property
Haven is situated on a cul-de-sac road so there is no traffic besides those that live there. the house is so peaceful! Yet, we are within walking distance to the popular Treasure Lake beach and playground.
What makes this property unique
I love that Haven is the best of both worlds. Charming lake house in front and private cabin in the back! The seclusion of the back yard is so peaceful and quiet. You're sure to catch a glimpse of the wildlife from the back porch!
