Another amazing week in this house with my family. Second year, so we came already comfortable with the location and amenities. Great for a multi-family stay. We brought out boat, kayaks and paddle boards and had another perfect week!

As most all others have said, an outstanding experience on all counts. Great Lake views, very private yet easy access to all. Many decks and places to chill out. Dock and lower deck a few steps from the house. Super swimming and diving! The house is well stocked with almost anything you might want from puzzles to walking sticks. Large kitchen, island and dining area make for easy food prep and dining. Oh, did I mention al fresco dining over looking the lake? Really, you can’t go wrong with this home. A very welcoming vibe. Will return!

Summer vacation with the extended family

This was my family's first vacation in the Poconos and we really enjoyed this property. It was clean, great location, check-in was easy, and was perfect for a family of 11 (8 adults, 3 children), including a set of grandparents and small children. We would definitely come back!

Best week ever

Beautiful house with incredible views and everything a group could need! I must say we took full advantage of all the amenities from multiple decks, private dock and easy access to swimming/fishing, solid grill and outside dining, large kitchen, etc. Super quiet with lots of fun wild life. The owners have amazing taste. This was my family’s first time vacationing and a group, and also on a lake and it will now be a tradition because this was the best week ever!

Incomparable!

We have all been absolutely spoiled after a week at this amazing home! I haven't seen other homes at Lake Wallenpaupak, but it's hard to imagine there are many (any?) that are as beautiful and comfortable inside and out. The owners have thought of everything when it comes to accomodating guests. Having a separate cottage for family members that might need a bit more quiet time is a wonderful bonus.

Family Trip

The house was well-appointed, nicely decorated and very clean with great sunsets. Steps were a little too much for some of us. The inability to use the outdoor fireplace was unexpected and disappointing. We made good use of the cottage for the little ones who rose early. Overall we had a great time.

Thanks so much for the 5-star review! So glad you had a great time! (For future renters reading reviews) There is an outdoor firepit at the house. I think Sue is talking about the stone firepit. This has been shut down due to it being a major fire hazard. However, the owners added in another [safer] outdoor firepit.

We had an amazing week. The views from the decks were incredible and the sunsets were priceless. The house and cottage were clean and well equipped with everything we needed. I would just say to the owners that you should change the description on Vrbo to say that linens and towels are NOT included. When we booked, it stated linens and towels were included. About 2 months prior to our stay, I received an email asking if I wanted to purchase the linen package for 350. When I provided a screenshot stating that linens were included, I was still charged the 350 additional fee.

Gorgeous Setting!

This property was everything we expected and more. We had two families of older teens/adults, and the cottage was perfect for one of the families, the house for shared meals and hanging out. The main living space is quite large, and the view from there (and 3 of the bedrooms) is spectacular. The pictures don't do it justice. We enjoyed all of the outdoor spaces. The deck closest to the lake was the favorite, though. You could hear the waves lapping on the rocks, and it was so serene. Great sunsets, too! Overall, this was a perfect setting for gathering loved ones, recharging, and water activities. The owners and management were great, and we would definitely come back again.

Perfect Houses

We absolutely loved our Lake Wally What vacation this year! The dock was so perfect for our boat and to fish from, and the main house was spacious enough for our family of 12 to hang out. Our family in their 20s loved staying in the cottage - a deer came right up to them and ate from their hand right outside. This was truly an incredible trip and an incredible property. I have absolutely no complaints and will consider them again for future lake trips for our large group. Oh, and excellent communication from the property manager, Abby. Thanks for making things so easy for us! Have a great summer.

Magical family vacation for 3 generations

What a beautiful property! Owners have thought of every detail. So kind of them to share this magical home with other families. Steps were expected and required caution but were a good workout. The separate cottage was lovely and perfect for a quiet Grandparent retreat. Property is located on the main part of lake so does get a lot of action and water can be rough. Views were incredible with magical sunsets. Eagle nesting nearby and frequently soaring overhead. Parking was great for our 3 cars but could not accommodate the boat trailer (maybe could have worked for a smaller sized trailer). We had pre arranged trailer storage at a local boat yard. Host was very responsive to any concerns. Would happily rent this gorgeous lakefront property again!!
