About this property

Newly updated, great for families up to 12 & pets; read our reviews!

Come stay at our newly renovated chalet in the fresh mountain air. With a large wrap around deck, fire-pit and spacious yard big enough for games outside, the inside of the house has a big kitchen table, two family rooms, a pool table and a loft with foosball and bubble hockey. We can accommodate up to 12 people and 2 pets for your next trip to the Poconos. Located in Big Bass Lake, an award winning and Gold Star Certified premier community close to skiing, fishing, snow tubing and hiking. Big Bass Lake Community has seasonal amenities: two lake beaches, an indoor heated pool, outdoor Olympic sized pool, splash park, tennis courts, basketball courts, lake fishing, pickle ball courts, snowtubing, ice skating, a recreational center and more! The house is a short drive from Kalahari Water Park Resort, Great Wolf Lodge, Camelback Mountain Resort and Waterpark, Mt. Airy Casino, Montage Ski Resort, Jack Frost Mountain Resort, Pocono Raceway, Split Rock Waterpark, Lake Wallenpaupack, The Crossing Premium Outlet Shopping, golfing, waterfalls, state parks and more! In addition, there is a fantastic take out restaurant here in Big Bass and you can find a grocery store and restaurants within 15 minutes. Our 3,200 square foot chalet is located in the gated section of Big Bass Lake at the end of a quiet court on 3 acres with 5 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, a wraparound deck and oversized loft on the third floor. Including free WiFi via a high end router, you, your friends and family (and pets!) will have plenty of comfortable space to spread out and work, school or play. Read our reviews! The house layout is great for multiple families coming together for a vacation with enough room to spread out.

While on your stay, you have much to enjoy at the chalet. If you enter from the ground floor, you'll find the first of two wood-burning stone fireplaces (firewood provided!), a pool table, a large sectional couch with multiple reclining seats for enjoying the tv with Hulu, Hulu Live, Disney+, Prime Video, a DVD player, Nintendo Wii and sound bar. There's also a full bathroom, 3 bedrooms and a full-sized washer and dryer. Head up the steps to the second/main floor and to the right, you will see another full bathroom and King bedroom (with iron and ironing board) and the primary bedroom including a King bed, TV with Hulu, Hulu Live, Disney+ and Prime Video via Roku, Roku tv, an en suite bathroom and its own private sliding door to the wraparound deck. On this main floor, enjoy a warm and large open floor plan with tons of windows and light, high ceilings, a kitchen that has granite counters and all the cookware needed for your stay. There’s a dining table that seats 8-10, another sectional couch with two reclining seats and chaise, a second large wood-burning stone fireplace, a 65” TV with Hulu, Hulu Live, Disney+ and Prime Video via Roku for optimal streaming, DVD player (with 3 drawers full of movies) and a sound bar for more game and movie enjoyment. You can head upstairs to the loft and play foosball, bubble hockey, board games or work from the desk or relax on the comfortable couches.

We are in the highest point of the Poconos so it typically stays cool in the house at night during warm weather months but we do have Mitsubishi split system ready for your air conditioned comfort and box fans in every bedroom. Outside, enjoy s'mores and relaxing by the fire pit, play a game of soccer, baseball or cornhole in the yard. We have 2 children's bicycles (two wheel; no training wheels), a Razor scooter, ladder ball, can jam and extra chairs for the fire pit or lake available for your use. We also have a charcoal grill, parking for up to 9 cars and wood for the fireplaces. You can also have an adventure and find your own sticks and wood for the fire pit in the wooded lot that’s yours for exploring. Thank you for booking!

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Miller

Host profile image
Our family has been visiting Big Bass Lake for over 15 years and are delighted to have a place of our own to share with you!

Why they chose this property

We instantly feel relaxed when we get into Big Bass Lake community but even more so at the house. With so much green in the Spring and Summer around, every view is lovely. You can’t go wrong any time of year, though, because the colorful leaves in the Fall, snowy Winters and blazing fireplaces make for a perfect and peaceful stay. Big Bass Lake cares for the community and our privacy at the end of the court makes it even more special.

What makes this property unique

We instantly fell in love with this house because it is spacious enough for multiple families to stay. Each can spread out and enjoy different parts of the house or property but also have enough room for everyone to enjoy all the features of it together.

We love to enjoy all Big Bass Lake and the Pocono Mountains every chance we can.
