great get away with plenty of bedrooms that are modern as well as bathrooms. Two floor floors of living with large sofas and pool table. Will definitely stay there again.
Beautiful house with everything you could possible need. It was perfect for our weekend with family while attending a wedding at Otter Lodge. Grateful to be able to bring our pets with us. Check-in at the gate was super easy. Would love to stay again if we get the opportunity. Would definitely recommend!
Ideal getaway location. Wonderful host. Lisa was extremely communicative and great to work with. Her home was spacious and met all of our weekend getaway needs. Facilities were as advertised and had everything we needed. Home was very clean. Great space!
Beautiful house with everything you could need. The owners were great. They responded quickly to questions and even had a basket with supplies to make s’mores for us on our arrival.
We loved this house The host was great with the communication and the house was everything we hoped for and more. Everything was well stocked and there was plenty of room for the ten of us. We will definitely be going back.
Great communication from the host and the house was roomy, private and well appointed for our two family get away. We didn’t visit the pool because the beach and swimming in the lake was so much fun. Great hiking nearby, highly recommend the 2 natural lands conservation areas. A great weekend getaway!
Spent Christmas week at the house, plenty of room for everyone. Nicely decorated for the holidays. The kids loved the indoor pool at the clubhouse and sledding on the hill.
Our group of 7 adults and 4 kids had everything we could have needed. The house is spacious and comfortable. The hosts are responsive and wonderfully helpful. The house is well apointed, clean and well kept. We could not have asked for more.
Lovely stay in your clean, well- decorated, well- appointed home. Peaceful and enjoyable. loved our first grandparent gig, ( with visiting grandkids) s'mores on the pit!

I'm thrilled you and your family had such a wonderful time meeting at our home! Thank you for such wonderful communication and complimenting that the house was more beautiful than advertised. Looks like the stars were incorrectly selected but glad you enjoyed the stay!
My family and I do weekend getaways often and this is by far one of our favorite homes! It was very clean and the one small problem we had was resolved instantly, also Lisa allowed us to arrive and depart at any time we wanted as their was no booking after us, that has never happened and we appreciated it so much! Definitely recommend staying here my family can’t wait to return!

We'd love to have you back anytime but come see how great it is in the Summer or Fall next! We also appreciate you reaching out with your small concern; we aim to address any questions immediately and are glad we were able to do so for you. We are also thrilled you were able to stay a little longer as we can sometimes be flexible with check-in/out times. Thank you for the review!
Everyone had a great time. The space was perfect for our family and there was plenty to keep the grandkids occupied at the house when not out enjoying activities in the area. Would not hesitate to rent again.
P.S. Be sure to pick up some cinnamon buns at Kay's. You won't be disappointed.
This was our second stay at this property. Lisa is a great host, very responsive. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need, the property was clean. The bedrooms were roomy and very comfortable beds.. We would definitely return!!
Thank you for providing such wonderful accommodations for myself and my extended family. The house was well maintained and clean. Thank you for providing fun family games along with anything we could need for our stay. Thank you for making the rental process so smooth. We are looking forward to renting again next year.

We are delighted you enjoyed the house and had a wonderful trip! We try to think of all the amenities you might want and appreciate the process was easy. We would love to have you back anytime! Thank you, Dawn!
The house was great - well-equipped, private and comfortable. Lots of wood for building fires. The inside of the house was very clean, but there were quite a few cigarette butts outside. Our dog loved the deck. The owner, Lisa, was very responsive. Would definitely stay there again.

Glad you, your family and dog had a nice Spring Break! Thank you for letting us know about the cigarettes in the yard. The house is non-smoking so we will make sure any trash is picked up in the yard by our landscaper.
Lisa and her husband did everything they could to make our weekend getaway with the family and our dog as enjoyable as possible! We did get a surprise 35 inches of snow in two days that caused us to not be able to leave and the owners told us to stay and reduced the price and let us have a super late check-out the following day. The house is large and very clean and set up perfect for the large families looking for a great weekend!! We will definitely be coming back and staying again!!

Glad to hear you, your family and dog enjoyed the chalet! Thank you for taking such good care of our house, especially during a surprise nor'easter...a great Pocono Winter experience and excuse to stay by the fireplace! Can't wait to have you back!
The house was perfect for our entire family. It was spacious with plenty of room to spread out. The kids LOVED the third floor game room. There was plenty of kitchen equipment. Thank you for a fun family vacation with great family memories!

We are so glad that the house was perfect for your family (and pets!) and you had everything you needed. We’d love to have you visit Big Bass again!
Communication with the owner was quick, clear, and helpful. The house was great, just as described. I appreciate the helpful binder of information so I didn’t have to pull out my phone and search through the Vrbo app to remind me of key house info. The house is a short walk to the community pool and clubhouse, and we took advantage of many community amenities with ease. The community association’s security measures and guest entry policies seem a bit much, but Lisa walked me through it with ease and grace. This is a great spot for a family gathering, i highly recommend.
The property was even better then pictured. We had 8 people stay comfortably, but could easily fit 12. Two separate hang out spots each area with fire place, large sectional couches and smart TV. Everything was super clean and Lisa (the host) was really thoughtful in her touches around the house and was great in terms of communication. I would recommend to family and friends and will definitely be rebooking!

About the host
Hosted by Lisa Miller
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.
