Beautiful house with great view

We had a wonderful time. The house was perfect for our family of 8! Spotless upon arrival! Even has a generator which was great to have when we lost power during a rain storm. Our only suggestion is to let renters know that this is in a community with amenities that are an extra cost (public beach, community center activities, pool, playgrounds)

Relaxing Lake Vacation

The location of the house is excellent with beautiful views. Right next to the swimming and beach area for the kids. Plenty of watercraft for use including life vests. Kitchen is well stocked with the exception of a few nice griddles or frying pans.

An Ideal Spot for Our Annual Family Trip – Comfortable, Convenient, and Fun!

We had a fantastic stay at this house in the Poconos for our annual family trip! The location was perfect, right next to the beach area and the food truck, making it easy to go back and forth. The property featured a small beach area with a fire pit, a nice dock for swimming, and plenty of space for our watercraft. The provided boat with a trolling motor worked perfectly, and there were life jackets in every size. The house had a great layout and everyone slept comfortably, especially with air conditioning in every bedroom. We enjoyed the pool at the community center and had a blast at bingo on Wednesday night. The three bathrooms and washer-dryer were very convenient. The kitchen was well-equipped with a nice island. The basement pool table and well-maintained lawn for yard games were wonderful additions. The deck had a cooler, a working grill, smoking receptacles, and comfortable chair cushions. The owner clearly takes good care of the property. The only minor issue was that the kitchen cabinets could have been more organized, but we understand that’s challenging between guests. Overall, we had a memorable and enjoyable stay and would highly recommend this property. We’re definitely coming back next year!

Memorial Weekend Holiday

Weather co-operated for our long weekend getaway making for an enjoyable stay at Big Bass Lake. The community was great and the house was easy to find. Upon arrival we found the home to be clean, tidy and well organized. A beautiful lake view was had from both inside and out….peaceful and serene. Ducks visited each day looking to get photographed while sitting on the big rock in the water. The kitchen was stocked with all the pots, pans and utensils you’d ever need for cooking, however it lacked basic cooking spices, oil, coffee and sugar. Luckily the grocery store wasn’t very far away. We liked Chillin’ and Grillin’ and everyone sitting down together after a day of fun was the best. There was a nice selection of adult books and even a chess set. Sadly our stay wasn’t long enough to take advantage of either. Missing game and puzzle pieces made for some ‘kiddo whining’ but playing Pool in the game room was a big plus! All in all it was a wonderful time away with many memories made. Thank you again, Bonnie, for your quick responses from beginning to end. It made things easy. Regards, Linda

Perfect family weekend

Great access for boating, paddleboatding, fishing or just enjoying the sunset by the lake. Wonderful amenities. Everything we needed for a comfortable family weekend. House was very clean, well set up, plenty of information and instructions. Ample room for 5 couples. Pool table, darts and games for the rainy times. Gorgeous view from the great room windows. Clear communication from the owners. Excellent experience!!

Yearly family vacation

We had a wonderful stay at the lake house. The property was perfect for our large family of 11. We enjoyed the use of the kayaks & paddle boards. The new dock was a pleasant surprise from last year’s dock. We felt it was much safer for our grandchildren. The location to the public beach and playground was a plus too!

Beautiful house and location

The house was very clean and well stocked. The location was perfect. Its located right next to the beach which has a playground and volleyball net for the kids. It also has a nice shallow swim area.The lake was beautiful and well stocked with fish. The kids can fish right off the dock. The rowboat, canoe, kayaks, and paddleboards were great. Supermarket was only 15 mins away. We loved our vacation and most definitely will be back next summer.

Our Favorite Pocono Destination!

This is our favorite place to stay in the Poconos and the reason we keep returning to this property. It is the perfect location in the Big Bass Lake complex with an easy walk to the beach. The home is well-maintained, fully-equipped and ready for fun, relaxation and some serious fishing. Once again we caught bass, pickerel, perch, crappie bass and a variety of pan fish. This lake produces some of the best fishing experiences for beginners and avid bass masters. We could not be happier with the condition of the property or the responsiveness of the property manager when we had questions. We will be back again and again! As long-time VRBO property users, this property has our highest rating!

10/10 Perfect House. This place will make you want to put your phone down and enjoy life.

First off, the pictures do not do this property justice. The house is AMAZING and huge. The open floor plan is fantastic. Everyone can hang out from the kitchen to the dining room to the living room. The A-frame with floor-to-ceiling glass makes the home feel massive. I appreciate the architecture. The downstairs pool table area looks small in pics, but it is a nice size room. The deck is unbelievable. Everywhere you look, you have million-dollar views of the water. The outdoor area with the fire pit and dock is perfect. Everything in the house is organized and clean. The bedrooms were comfy, and everyone slept well. The TV in the living room is a nice size, and the extra backroom off the kitchen is a nice added perk. The outdoor area alone is enough to want to rent this house again. The dock and boats are fantastic, but my favorite part of the outside is the fire pit beach area stocked with firewood. This home will make you want to put your phone down and enjoy nature and everything around you. I will most definitely be back. 5 Star, 10 out of 10 experience.
