======================================================
WELCOME to our beautiful lakefront, knotty pine and log-style home with spectacular views! This family oriented home has 3BR and a very large LOFT plus 2 FULL baths!!

There is a washer and dryer in the basement. The well equipped kitchen is big enough to comfortably allow several cooks in at once with lots of counter space and a big DR table to very comfortably seat 8.

Our home is lakefront, located on Lake Wallenpaupack in Hawley, PA which is about 2 hours from NYC. Look out the wall of windows to beautiful views of the giant lake. We also have drapes if you wish to close them at night. Lake Wallenpaupack (15 mi long) allows powerboats & jet skis, unlike the smaller lakes in PA which only allow non-powerboats. Bring your own boat or you can rent pontoon boats & speed boats for the day and park them at our dock (there are 3 large cleats and a few bumpers, but please bring your own ropes). There are public (Mangan) and private launches (Seeleys) nearby.

AIR CONDITIONING
Although the window air conditioner and ceiling fan in the loft kept the whole house cool if the doors were kept shut, we had CENTRAL AIR installed in the spring of 2022! We have vents throughout the first floor. We are keeping the window air conditioner in the loft window as a backup and leaving fans in each room as well for your comfort.

FURNITURE
A new blue couch and love seat arrived in April 2022 along with an end table with Boo Boo holding onto the end table. We added the Winnie end table in 2023.

The whole back of the house is windows so the view of the lake is great!
On the deck there are views in front and on the side of the house of the lake. Enjoy a game night on the DR table or outside on the deck or enjoy the fire pit down near the water.

Easy, gentle and short /path to the patio with firepit (new 2025), lake and dock. We supply several chairs for your use on the patio and dock.

Relax and/or dine on the very large deck with a new large 64 inch square table with seating for 8. Order in or cook on the Weber grill (August 2020) A picnic table for your use is also included as are two lounge chairs.

Bring your streaming apps id/pw. We have a 50 inch ROKU TV in the family room for you to enjoy in the evening if you desire with lots of apps loaded for you to use with your own id/pw. (Netflix, Disney Plus, Hulu, Youtube, etc.). We also supply some adult and kid board games, puzzles and books for your enjoyment.

FIRST FLOOR
Nice entryway to leave your shoes, jackets, etc.

Good size kitchen with a cabinet and a pantry for your food. The family room has an extra small room next to it. Relax in the recliner or work on your laptop at the desk facing the lake.

Bedrooms on first floor:
1. Queen bed, two small chest of drawers for your clothes. Hangers and hooks behind the door.
2. Bedroom with a full size bed, dresser and closet.

Between the 2 bedrooms is a Full bath with tub.

SECOND FLOOR
Queen bedroom with a large linen closet with extra blankets, pillows, sheets, etc. and empty drawers for your clothes.

Full bath with a shower

Very Large Loft with two trundles. You can make 2 king size beds, one from each trundle. Two small dressers for your clothes.

Basement with washer and dryer and laundry detergent.

Outside is a hammock to relax and enjoy during the summer time. Feel free to use the tubes and noodles that we leave. You may wish to bring arm floaties and life jackets for young children or those that can't swim.

Also is a firepit on the patio. Bring your own wood/kindling, matches. In the winter, cozy on up to the propane fireplace. Turn on with a press of a button. It gives off a good amount of heat and has a nice ambiance.

We put out one set of bed linens on each bed. Make the beds you need but no need to wash them at the end of your stay! Leave the bed unmade and we will take them off and wash them! Leave the folded sheets on the beds you didn't use. There are extra sheets and blankets and pillows if you need them in the linen closet in the upstairs bedroom.

Sorry but we do not supply any bath or lake or hand towels (except for the kitchen).

Lake Wallenpaupack is owned by Brookfield renewable, a hydroelectric plant powered by the water. The level of the lake varies. In June the water level and the beginning of the gangway and dock usually start very close to the bottom of the stairs. As the water level goes up or down, the dock gets moved out away from the property or moved closer to the property by our dock maintenance person.

The water level changes, thus the location of the dock changes as well.
We recommend water shoes especially for kids, since the bottom of the lake is made of slate.

Our docks will be put in by May 1 and removed after Oct 31. If you wish to rent before May 1 or after Oct 31 and would need/want the dock, please reach out and it may be possible to get the dock in earlier or leave in later than Oct 31.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a family oriented area. No parties, no events! Do not have more people over, even just for a day visit - they must be on the contract and total number of people must be 8 or less per our HOA, the town and our septic. This is a no tolerance policy. You will be evicted with no refunds including your security if the neighbors report excessive noise or we find out there are more than 8. THIS PROPERTY HAS EXTERNAL CAMERAS FOR THE PROTECTION OF OUR PROPERTY. No street parking. A maximum of 4 cars are allowed on the property. A car with a trailer is the equivalent of 2 cars.

Garbage is not allowed to be stored outside or it will attract bears nor should it be stored in any room of the house so it does not attract bugs. It needs to be disposed of in a dumpster just down the road a bit.

Cancellation policy: We only refund if we are not allowed to rent our home. Please get trip insurance in case you or anyone in your party gets ill including from Covid and cannot come or if there are travel restrictions from PA or your own state. Once we remove your dates from being able to be booked by other parties, we will only refund your money if we can re-rent with no loss to us.

Some requirements to rent our home:
1. To protect us from stolen credit cards, we require a picture of yourself holding your Drivers license (you can block out your numbers). Please be sure we can read the DL.

2. A signed contract. What will be in the contract can be viewed in the rules and policies area of the listing. No refunds for cancellations after booking unless we can re-book minus a $200 cancellation fee. Booking means as soon as my calendar is blocked for others to rent.

3. We accept families w/kids. If you are a group of friends, you must be 30 years or older and your everyone in your party must also be over the age of 25.

4. No pets or you will be evicted with no refunds and security for deep cleaning will need to be kept. (My daughter is highly allergic to some animals),

Please note this home is surrounded by tons of trees and bugs are natural at all lakes. Spiders and other little creatures/bugs may find their way into the home within hours of cleaning and spin some webs. We deep clean prior to the season and weekly cleanings are difficult to get every little nook and cranny free of whatever. Also the trees will constantly drop little twigs, leaves and pollen at different times of the year onto the deck. If nature is an issue for you, our home is not for you.
Thank you!
