Amenity badges are required to use any public amenities. Badges can be purchased during your stay for $12/person/day for individuals over the age of 3.

Although our home is lakefront, it is not considered a ‘swimming lake’. You can boat and kayak or use any type of non-motorized water vessel, you can wade in the shoreline water where you can still see your feet, you can catch-and-release fish and enjoy the scenery. But swimming in this lake is prohibited and can be enjoyed just a few minutes in the main section of the community at the dedicated swimming lake and beach. The community maintains this beach/swimming area very nicely and can be enjoyed with beach chairs (provided in the box by the hot tub), picnic blanket, sand toys and swimming. You may use the area already portioned off for swimming with their floating dock to jump right in! Go make a splash! Also at the beach is a pool, cafe, playground, tennis courts, basketball courts and baseball field.

Community has 4 Outdoor Pools which are open weekends only from Memorial day to late June and Mid August to Labor day. Pools open daily from mid-June to mid-August. Located within a 5 minute drive to the new K Pool built in 2022. Splash pad for the little ones and a large pool for the family to enjoy. There is also a bathhouse, tennis and basket courts and a playground.

We make no guarantees that community amenities will be available during your stay. The availability of the amenities and the days and hours of operation are at the discretion of the association. Hours and days of operation are typically provided at the beginning of each week. Refunds will not be provided if community amenities are not available as we have no control over closures for any circumstances such as, but not limited to, weather, staffing, Covid, etc.

You will be provided with a unique access code to the front door for easy self check-in. We are available if you have any questions!

WILDLIFE:
This is a home in the woods, therefore, outside you will likely see bugs or furry critters, such as ducks, geese, raccoons, deer and even bears. We do our very best to maintain the property with regular pest control, but due to the surroundings, if doors are left open, or food is left outside the house, critter curiosity is inevitable. Please keep doors closed, the outdoors clean and notify us personally if you have any visitors in this regard so we can address the issue promptly. PLEASE, do not feed our beautiful wildlife - it does more harm than good!

Requirement:
We want you to be completely comfortable here and our goal is to make your stay MUCH BETTER THAN EXPECTED from start to finish! To ensure an enjoyable experience, feel free to ask me about anything you are unsure of about. If you are traveling for a special occasion please let us know.

When booking and/ or canceling your stay, you hereby agree to not write a bad review without first making us aware of any issues that you are having, and allowing us to fix the issue(s). Thank you!

A great time had by all!
The house was a great layout for our family of 7 adults and 3 children. The rec room was set up to be enjoyed by all. Our personal favorite was the outside beach area, fire pit with great furniture and a variety of water craft boats. Our host was accomodating and extremely responsive. Fun times!

Beautiful lakefront escape
Our group of 3 families with 7 kids between us had an amazing long weekend at Longfellow Lodge. They thought of absolutely everything! The game room and multiple smart tv's were perfect for the rainy day, and the lake and watercraft, plus the fire pit and hot tub, kept everyone occupied with fun all day long when the weather cleared up. The views of the lake were beautiful. The house was clean. The beds were all very comfortable. The check-in/check-out process was easy and the communication from the owner was exceptional. We had zero issues during our stay, but know we would have heard back immediately if we had needed to reach out. There are other amenities in the community, but we didn't really leave the house because we had everything we needed right there. We all agreed that we would love to come back in the future. Highly recommend!

Incredible, fun, comfortable home. Perfect for family vacation.
We very much enjoyed our stay. The home is decorated tastefully. It is spacious and designed to make your stay pleasant and easy. There are signs all over that give you helpful instructions. The view is beautiful, the back porch lovely, and the game room downstairs offers lots of fun for multiple ages. The hot tub, fire pit, bench swing, and boats add to opportunities for spending quality time together. The house manger was reachable by text and replied to my questions very quickly and was friendly and helpful! We were two brothers with their families, including 2 young grandchildren and had an absolutely lovely time! I would like to mention one or two small points that I think I'd like to have known. In order to check in, you need to stop at a check in center about a 6 minute drive from the actual home. At popular times, you may need to wait in line for 10-15 minutes to check in, and the check in process takes about 5 minutes. So, when calculating what time you want to arrive at the home keep in mind that it could be about a half hour process until you are actually there. Also, Shampoo is not provided so bring your own. And one last thing, there are quite a few instructions for checking out, including washing towels used, taking out the trash from all the trash cans in each room, sweeping out the fire place if used. I always leave rental homes neat, but doing all this when paying a $250 cleaning fee for 2 days seemed a big excessive to me. Overall, it was awesome! And we'd love to return again!

Great house for a family vacation!
Our family loved staying here! It was very clean and spacious with a large dining table & living room that allowed for family dinners and game nights. The kids enjoyed all of the games in the basement & the hot tub is right out the back door. Jen’s instructions were easy to follow and when we had a question during our stay she responded immediately. Since we came during the winter we weren’t able to use the lake but we did ski at Jack Frost and snow tube at Camelback, each mountain was easy to access, about 30min away. The community is strict about cars coming in and out but Jen made it easy to pre-register each vehicle & we had no problem. We definitely hope to come back for another family trip in the future!

I am Jen your host. I lead a very active life, working full time and managing a home with 4 active children! We love our Lake home and hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Although I have a busy life, I am available to you any time day and night. You can also find us on FB or Insta at VacationThePoconos

Why they chose this property

While vacationing in the Poconos we had such a wonderful experience we decided to purchase our own home and share it with others. We enjoy vacationing in our home as much as we can and some of the photos shown on our website are from our own vacations with our families. We purchased our home in 2008 and choose to manage our property so we can provide our guests with a personal experience. We are knowledgeable about the area and can help you plan an unforgettable vacation!

What makes this property unique

The house provides spectacular views of the lake. You will absolutely enjoy waking up and enjoying a cup of coffee on the patio or from the dining area and taking in the views. We also have frequent visits from our wildlife friends. Cuddle up on the couch and enjoy the wood burning fireplace and 75 inch Smart TV. Fully enjoy the outdoors with the firepit and seating for 6, relax in the hot tub, fish from the private dock or play in the sand on the private beach. We do love to spend time away at our home as much as we can. We hope we have provided all the amenities you would need for a great vacation.
