LAKEFRONT - HOT TUB, Gameroom, Beach, Playground, Firepit, 5 min to SKI RESORTS

This is a true lakefront house literally right next to the community beach and less than 10 minutes/2.5 miles from Big Boulder Ski Resort. This home is in the heart of the Pocono Mountains in Blakeslee PA near Lake Harmony.

This sprawling Lakefront lodge will feel like home with a fully loaded gameroom where you can enjoy playing pool, shuffleboard, Foosball, air hockey, card games at the bar card table, and many board games. Enjoy a nice evening fire by the lake in two fire pits with plenty of seating for everyone. Take a ride in one of our kayaks from the marina. You can Fish right from the edge of the property directly into the lake. Enjoy TV in every bedroom and living rooms., and an outdoor hot tub set high among the trees on the second story deck, 16 ft patio table, with a propane grill and more! You'll have easy parking to avoid the car shuffling. The house is literally steps from the beach, community playground, pavilion, and more!

Awesome Place

We were so grateful to have found this place. The grandkids loved the open space and how close it was to the beach and playground. The house offered an open space so we were all together although doing separate things. The fire pit was a hit with the grandchildren who made and ate s'mores. Thank you again for opening your home to us.

Great home with fantastic amenities

We had a fantastic stay at this home. It is particularly great for groups with small children. The house was clean with plenty of space for all 18 of us. The convenient location right next to the beach on the lake, with access to the Kayaks, was awesome. The owers are very fast to respond with any questions or concerns. Overall, our group had a lot of fun and we stay again at this property.
