We found this cabin very nice, a the best value for the money, and we had a great weekend. David was a pleasure to work with and very flexible. He helped us short-notice in figuring out how to accommodate 3 families that were meeting for Memorial Day weekend. He was very responsive and helpful during all phases of the rental process. The cabin was very clean and smelled fresh on our arrival. It is not large, but is bigger than we anticipated based off the photos and met our needs perfectly. We especially enjoyed the fact that it sits on a relatively large piece of land which our kids enjoyed playing on. Also a stand-out feature is the fire pit which we had an absolutely great time with all the kids at when we made smokes one evening. The only reason I didn't give the property was a five is that because the land is relatively large and the house sits up the hill from the lake a little ways, we couldn't really see the lake very well from the deck because of the leaves on the trees. However, all properties have their strengths and weaknesses and this cabin worked great for us and we had a excellent weekend without breaking the bank. A great value.

My friends were looking for a getaway weekend and a good central location between NY and Philly. We decided on Lake Wallenpaupack and found this cabin’s listing. I’ve stayed on the Lake before and a lot of the homes are on tiny pieces of property, with neighboring houses just 10 -15 feet away on either side and parking issues. What I liked about this place was that you really got a feeling that you were getting away. The house is located at the end of a private gravel road and it’s on a big piece of wooded property, so we felt like we were away from it all. We had no problem parking the 4 cars we came up with and we spent both Friday and Sat night around the campfire circle and then spent most of the day down at the dock. Sunsets are amazing! It’s hard to imagine a prettier place to be on the lake.
The house was clean and has a large living room, a kitchen and dining area and 4 bedrooms. One of the bedrooms has an angled ceiling with a queen air mattress, the others are larger rooms. There are some good places for dinner nearby, The Boat House had some live bands both nights and a pretty good sports bar set up. Definitely a great place for a quick getaway. We might make this an annual thing

The area is beautiful, however, the house could have been maintained better. The screen door was covered in duct tape, therefore, we were not able to keep the door open since the woods are surrounded by insects, also since the temperature was in the 90's all weekend, it would have been nice to keep the door open for some fresh air. The house only had air conditioners in 2 of the 3 bedrooms, therefore, the third bedroom was unusable due to the heat on the 3rd floor. In spite of all this, my family and I had a great time on the lake and did love the fact that the property had a boat dock just a short distance away from the house. We also loved the boat dock for fishing. I don't think that the house was nice enough for the amount that we paid. We would definitely come back to the area for another vacation, but will look for another property.
