11 Bedroom Lake House, 150 ft Lakefront, 1 Acre, Beach, Ski Elk Mountain Poconos

Your party of 20 will get so relaxed and rested at our magical lake house you may forget to leave!

Our lake house combines the simplicity of country living with all the comforts of a sprawling city apartment. We welcome you to almost 6,000 square feet of open space, spanning a 110 feet wide house overlooking 150 feet of your own lake frontage, all on almost an acre of manicured grounds.

The lake house contains a North and a South Wing, connected by a breezeway, making it an ideal house for multiple families who may enjoy some independence. The ceilings are high and the space is light and airy. Windows abound, filling the house with beautiful light and a lake breeze. In the warm days of summer, you will remain cool in the house as we are fully air conditioned.


You can effortlessly transition between swimming in the lake, sun-bathing on your own dock, rolling around on the manicured lawn, kayaking or paddle-boarding, fishing from the kayak or from the dock. And, when you are finished swimming and boating, you will enjoy a hot outdoor shower, in a private shower cabin under the sun.

At your disposal, you will find 2 paddleboards, 2 adult kayas and 1 child’s kayak, along with life vests in various sizes. The lake is generously stocked with bass, pickerel, catfish, perch and sunfish (with an easily obtainable license).

For kids, there is a great natural wood play-ground on our property.

For indoor rest and entertainment, you have at your disposal numerous cool spacious living and dining areas. In the North Wing, you will find a great room with two separate sitting areas comfortably seating your entire party, both directed towards a gas fireplace and a 55” Samsung smart TV. In the South Wing, you will find a cavernous playroom housing a professional pool table and foosball table, with breathtaking views of the lake. The South Wing also boasts a third sitting area comfortably seating 8-10 people in front of a 55” Samsung smart TV. We have a fine selection of classic board games, as well. And if there are piano players among you, you will find a finely tuned Baldwin piano in the great room, ready for an impromptu concert or kids’ recital.

Back in the North Wing, you will find our cavernous country kitchen with a double height ceiling. A large island custom-made of repurposed barnwood comfortably sits eight. Our modern kitchen has two back-to-back Bosch dishwashers, two refrigerators, a stove/oven and a second oven, a microwave, a garbage disposal, a Nespresso Lattissima Pro machine, a Nespresso Vertuo Plus machine, a coffee maker, a coffee grinder, a blender, a popcorn maker, a mixer, a food chopper and all the dishes, glasses, barware and kitchen supplies you may need to host 20 guests for dinner (although we have more than double the dishes to allow for maximum convenience). We even have a restaurant-grade ice machine for those outdoor parties on hot summer days. In the dining room you will entertain all 20 guests around two custom-made farm tables made from glorious repurposed barnwood. We stock the kitchen with a supply of oil, vinegar, spices, coffee and other staple pantry items to get you started.

Do not worry about parking for all of your guests, since our property can easily accommodate 10 cars. And no one will ever wait for a bathroom as we have 7 (5 full baths, and 2 half-baths) as well as and an outdoor shower, all stocked with hotel-style toiletries.

In case some of your guests are peckish at night, the South Wing boasts a full mini kitchen with a microwave, fridge and wet bar.

In case your party has persons who find it difficult to climb stairs, do not worry! On the ground floor we have two bedrooms in close proximity to a full bath (with a walk in shower) and a half bath. And next to the kitchen and great room, you will find a half bath.

If outdoor dining is more your style, your party of up to 20 guests can dine on the covered deck with breathtaking views of the lake on three wooden picnic tables. With a Weber Genesis II gas grill, cooking for 20 will be a joy. And for dessert, you can gather around a large fire-pit with s’mores and custom cocktails made with mint from your own mint patch.

We wanted to introduce you to your own herb garden at the lake. On the right of the outdoor shower you will find a large bush of mojito mint. In front of the shower you will also find twelve planters with herbs, including lemon balm, rosemary, stevia rebuadiana, thyme, sage, oregano, lavender, parsley, lovage, cilantro, caraway, bergamot, lemon grass, parsley, and dill. Please feel free to use at your convenience. And on your departure please feel free to take a ziplock of mint as mint keeps very well in the fridge and will hopefully remind you of a wonderful stay at Heart Lake.

Our wood shed is stocked with cured firewood. And for simple rest and relaxation in the outdoor breeze, our deck boasts a rattan sectional sofa set. We even have a pair of sling chairs to relax in the sun.

When the time comes to rest for the night after a day of lake fun, you will find 11 bedrooms (with 6 bedrooms in the North Wing and 5 in the South Wing), each with unique personality and almost all with lake views. The cupola bedroom on the third floor of the North Wing boasts 360 degree views. Ten of the bedrooms offer a 43” Samsung smart TV connected to the house WiFi, which is lightning fast.

For those of you wishing to work, an 11th bedroom has been converted into a well-appointed custom office. (easily reverting to a bedroom with a full size electric air mattress, which we have at your disposal).

For those of you with children, you will love a cozy bonus bedroom with windows onto the lake, directly connected to the master bedroom for maximum privacy, fully stocked with kids’ books, toys and even stuffies. You can easily treat this as a 12th bedroom and if you do not have children, this is a perfect reading room.

We provide all linens and towels (we even have a supply of beach towels).

If you ever need to do laundry, each of the North and South wings has a large washer and dryer.

Never worry about the power going out; we have a new powerful generator that will keep you worry-free during your stay.

If you decide to venture out from the lake, you will find the town of Montrose full of wonderful adventures, including a historical center with local museums. Within a 5 minute drive, you will have access to free tennis courts, soccer fields, basketball and pickle courts. You could visit a golf course in the middle of town as well as several golf courses a short drive away. In town, you will also find two large supermarkets and smaller country stores, a national pharmacy, as well as two 24 hour minimarts. Another 5-10 minute drive and you will find yourself hiking in the stunning Salt Spring Park among 500 year-old hemlock trees. If you would like a leisurely walk or a jog, you will love the 1.25 mile country road loop around Heart Lake. For hiking and mountainbiking, we are several yards away from the start of a converted railbed that runs for miles. If paintball and combat is your game, you will find EMR Paintball within a mile or two of the house. There are several shooting ranges and horseback riding stables several miles away. And Binghamton is under 20 miles, with all the restaurants and entertainment you would expect from a university town.

Whether you are looking for a restful vacation, an occasion to bring together family and friends, a family reunion or even a corporate retreat, our newly remodeled modern twelve-bedroom house on Heart Lake is an ideal and idyllic destination! Come stay with us – you will never want to leave!

The entire property will be yours for the stay!

We welcome kids of all ages; however, the house and the property are not baby-proofed.

A 60th Birthday Weekend
I booked this stay to celebrate my mom's 60th birthday, in which she wanted nothing more than a big family reunion. It was such a beautiful property with amazing amenities. We were lucky with good weather in November to kayak on the lake. Everyone was so pleased with the stay and it was exactly what my mom wanted for her birthday. It provided us with unforgettable memories. Julia was very responsive and was an amazing host that helped with any question that I have. We will definitely be staying here again in the future.

Our extended family enjoyed our stay in spite of the few rainy days. The house has plenty of space and invites small group conversations as well as gathering of the clan for meals and activities. The lake was just the right size for the kayaks and paddle boards. Everyone loved the house. The host was very accommodating and gracious. Thank you, Julia, for sharing your home.

I really enjoyed everything about this property. I thought it could have been cleaner. There was a lot of dust on the floors. Could have used a better vacuuming. Full disclosure, my family consists of neat freaks so take that comment with a grain of salt. Overall, great!!!

Beautiful home and setting!
The home is spacious with ample parking and a huge and comfortable great room and kitchen that was wonderful for gathering. The view of the water is lovely, and the hike around the lake very enjoyable. We had a few issues when we first arrived, but the owner was extremely responsive and helpful. I would recommend this property and would happily stay here again!

Beautiful lake experience
Yulia has a beautiful lakeside lot with lovely outside amenities. Plenty of room inside for our large multigenerational family. The hostess tries very hard to make you feel welcome and informed about the area once you get checked in. When we spoke to her about our concerns she was quick to respond and offered compensation for our minor inconveniences which we refused. We are from the area so we already knew NE Pennsylvania was beautiful year round. I’m sure we will be back and give the cottage another try when family in that area needs us again.

Spacious, Comfortable Lakeside Property
This place is terrific! There's nothing like waking up to a view of the lake and feeling surrounded by serenity. We used this property for a women's retreat. It provided ample bedroom space for everyone as well as bathrooms. The gathering places were terrific. The large kitchen with island, ice maker and 2 refrigerators was a plus as well. The only feedback we'd provide was we'd wished for a bit more cleanliness--kitchen, inside refrigerators, and dusting in particular. That said, we'd totally come back! Julia was a terrific, flexible, friendly, and responsive property manager!

Fantastic property, especially for groups!
We spent a long weekend at Julia’s property with some friends and children and had a fantastic time! The house was so spacious for our large group, super clean and on a beautiful lake. There was plenty of space for all of us to spread out, cook meals, enjoy the fire pit and bbq. Julia was very communicative and flexible with our arrival/departure times. A few of us took advantage of the kayaks, but I hope to return in the summer when we can all take advantage of the lake!! I would definitely recommend his home for any upcoming trips!

One of my favorite lake houses!
We had an amazing time. The house is HUGE and it is very well laid out and decorated. The bedrooms are super comfortable, the kitchen has 2 fridges and 2 ovens which came in very handy as we had a large group. Wifi was fast and reliable for the people who needed to work. The town also had everything we needed with a big grocery store and even a great golf course. Of course our favorite part was the backyard and lake where we spent most of our time playing corn hole and swimming. Julia was incredibly quick to respond when we had questions and a delight to communicate with. Overall, I give this property 5 stars across the board.

Wonderful getaway on Heart Lake
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this wonderful house on Heart Lake and would highly recommend booking this property, it is outfitted with everything you could possibly want or need. Our group took full advantage of the lake using the paddleboards and kayaks daily, and also enjoyed the fire pit and multiple outdoor spaces. The house is as shown - it has a large gathering area and kitchen perfect for cooking and eating together and a game-room for indoor fun, but it also has multiple separate bedroom areas and several sitting areas that allow guests to spread out. There is a small town with shops within a 7-minute drive. Julia was a wonderful host, she was attentive, responsive, and overall lovely to deal with. The property has everything you could possibly need for a large group to enjoy a relaxing getaway on the lake. Highly recommend!
