Located directly on a serene, 310-acre private lake in the Pocono Mountains that is fed by natural springs and offers a delightful environment for fishing and breathtaking scenery. The area is surrounded by state game lands and water conservation areas, providing a contrasting experience that is peaceful and calming. The lake's tranquil waters are encircled by trees and generational private residences.

Indulge in swimming, power boating, water skiing, tubing, canoeing, and kayaking along the four-mile shoreline. The lake's varying depths and underwater structures make it a paradise for anglers, offering opportunities to catch smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, pickerel, perch, catfish, crappie, bluegills, and sunfish.


Guests have access to the entire home and property with the exception of 1 locked closet in the basement.


Mornings begin with still water on the lake and the quiet of the surrounding trees, a peaceful setting that settles you into the rhythm of the Poconos. The crisp late-November air invites slow moments on the deck before heading inside to warm up in one of the inviting living spaces. Evenings are for settling into the glow of the fire pit or unwinding in the hot tub as the cool air drifts across the water.

Interior spaces
This three-story, 1,595 sq ft home offers lake views, giving you a constant connection to the water no matter where you spend your time. Two living room areas provide space to relax, watch TV, or gather for quiet conversation. The basement serves as a dedicated indoor living area where you can enjoy movie night, spend time on the game console, or play on the basketball hoop and mini combo table with air hockey, pool, and foosball.

Sleeping arrangements
Both bedrooms are located on the top floor. The primary bedroom includes a queen bed, a pull-out, and a 65-inch TV. The second bedroom features a bunk bed with a queen and a twin. In the basement, a pull-out couch offers additional sleeping space near the 65-inch TV. Soft linens and cozy bedding provide a comfortable place to settle in each night.

Kitchen and dining
The kitchen includes what you need to prepare meals, with a dining table nearby for gathering over breakfast or dinner. A dedicated workspace and wifi allow you to stay connected if needed.

Outdoor living
The property sits directly on a 310-acre private lake, giving you direct lake access from your own private dock. Two furnished decks, a patio, a fire pit, outdoor furniture, a hammock, and a BBQ grill create space to enjoy the outdoors even during the cooler season. Kayaks and a boat slip are available when conditions permit time on the water, and in the colder months you can take advantage of nearby skiing in the Pocono Mountains. The hot tub provides a warm place to relax while taking in the lake views.

Bathroom essentials
Two full bathrooms are available, stocked with bathroom essentials for your stay.

Neighborhood
The home is surrounded by natural springs, state game lands, and water conservation areas that frame the lake in peaceful woodland scenery. The shoreline stretches for four miles, and the lake’s underwater structures make it well known for fishing species such as smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, pickerel, perch, catfish, crappie, bluegills, and sunfish. The quiet setting and the landscape of generational private residences give the area a calm, steady atmosphere throughout the year.

Perfect for
Guests looking for a pet-friendly lakefront stay with indoor and outdoor amenities, a hot tub, lake access, and comfortable spaces to gather in any season.

Perfect Location, Great House. We loved sitting on the dock every night watching the sun set over the mountains after a long day of kayaking and fishing. Everything was quite, beautiful, and very relaxing.

Lovely lakefront location

Amazing location with a beautiful view. Great spot for fishing right off the dock. Very quiet, lots of birds to see as well. Communication was excellent and immediate. Also appreciated the recommendations- there are several excellent spots in the area for food/beer.

Our family’s stay in July was highlighted by the proximity from the house to the lake, a new dock, a variety of outside and patio furniture, and great access for fishing; as well as a hot tub, air-conditioning, a modern kitchen, and 2 bathrooms, with 2 upstairs bedrooms, accommodating 4-6 people. Views from the upstairs porch, lower level porch and lakeside coast were beautiful and breathtaking with nature’s sounds! A quiet, finished basement was the perfect place to hang out, before AND after visiting the hot tub! (For a longer vacation like ours, we have suggested a washer/ dryer amenity, just for the convenience during our stay.) We did take many pictures, loved the outside spaces, were impressed by the hot tub, and also were enamored by the beautiful sunsets! Overall, we had a happy stay, made many great memories, and enjoyed renting this lovely lake house on Lake Henry. Thank you, Christianne!

Cozy Gettaway

We had 4 adults 4 kids under 9 and the hot tub was the highlight of the kids stay. Even us adults got to have some peace in the hot tub once we got the kids watching a movie! Plenty of space amongst the levels of the house to not feel as though we were on top of eachother. The kids even played on the frozen lake in the snow!

A relaxing stay with a beautiful view

My family stayed at the lake house and had a wonderful time! Spent a lot of time fishing on the lake, enjoying the downstairs room with basketball and xbox, doing puzzles and playing games upstairs, and of course grilling and the hot tub. Sitting in the hot tub at night watching the stars was really special. Christianne answered all of our questions and responded to our requests really fast. We found the house in great condition and exactly matching the description. Would definitely stay there again. If there was a single downside, as mentioned in the listing, there are some ruts in the road outside the house that make it a little bit dicey if you're in a sedan. Other than that, it was a great weekend getaway.

Cozy & Charming

The house was exactly as advertised, and my family loved our visit. We fished from the dock, kayaked on the lake, hiked, read in the hammock, played pool, relaxed in the hot tub, and enjoyed evening card games and movie night. The kayaks and row boat were a huge hit, we were so thankful to enjoy them during unseasonably warm autumn weather! We didn’t utilize the fire pit (high fire risk/dry conditions during our visit), but the fire pit area was lovely. But for one dinner out we prepared all of our meals, and there were plenty of cooking and food prep supplies. I especially enjoyed the coffee provided. There were many thoughtful touches, such as shampoo and conditioner in the shower, throw blankets on the couches, and a dog bed for our Oreo. I would absolutely recommend a stay here - my 10 year old proclaimed it “the best house ever!” and is already asking when we can go back.

Clean, nice and noisy.

Very nice home and very clean. The yard and access to the lake were great. We had one problem which was taken care of immediately after one phone call. One thing that we couldn’t tell from the pictures is the close proximity to the neighbors. Our “quiet” 3 day vacation turned out to be anything but. Trees and brush were being cleared from the house 1 over from ours. Chain saws were blaring for 9 hours. We couldn’t hear each other talk. I understand that has nothing to do with the property but a heads up would have been nice, we could have rescheduled our days. The next day there were workers at the house next door. We could hear all their conversations. The irony of this is that there are noise sensors around the property so we would be quiet! There is no privacy at all in the back yard. Also the camera on the tree looking right into the living area was unnerving. The family really did enjoy the fishing from the dock and the kayaks. The lily pads were in bloom and beautiful. Our stay would have been really nice if not for the noise.
