Cozy mountainside retreat with lake access to recharge or relax! Kayaks, canoes

Private Pocono area home with lake access. Please note, this property is located about 20 minutes west of Lake Harmony, on a larger, private 130 acre lake named 'Lake of the Four Seasons' which is in the community called 'Beech Mountain Lake'. It is an electric motor only lake. Easy access off I-80 / Mt. Top exit (just east of the I-81/I-80 junction). Enjoy a beautiful 160 acre lake on the western edge of the Pocono region. Escape the commercialism and crowds of other Pocono area lakes. Beech Mountain Lake is a private gated community with it's own freshwater lake.

Kalahari Indoor Waterpark and Great Wolf Lodge are both about a 45 minute drive to the east, and Knoebel's Amusement Park and Campground is about an hour drive to the west. Miniature golf, driving range, and 18 hole golf course (Edgewater Golf Course) are 2 minutes from the entrance of the community. Sand Springs is another well known course which is about 5 miles from Beech Mountain Lakes.

Mohegan Sun Casino is 30 minutes north on I-81.

From May through October, enjoy kayaking, canoeing, and paddleboarding. We have 3 canoes, 3 kayaks and a stand-up paddleboard (the paddleboard is only to be used by adults or supervised children) to use. The lake, once used by the PA Fish Commission for spawning fish, is an electric only-motor lake. Excellent fishing for Large-mouth Bass, Perch, Pickerel, and even trout (the lake is stocked with Golden, Rainbow and Brown trout in spring for kids fishing derby). Enjoy spectacular mountain views and clear blue skies while boating on the lake. Lake is also excellent for swimming. Our community private beach is great for kids to swim and play in the sand, and it is free to use for all guests! Whitewater rafting and biking on the 'Rails to Trails' at Lehigh Gorge State Park (20 minutes away).

Enjoy hiking trails and cross country ski trails at Nescopeck State Park, just a couple miles down the road.
