Beautiful location, clean and spacious home
Our family enjoyed our week at the lake! It was a perfect house for a large group, four kids aged 4-7, four parents and two grandparents. The house was very clean and well equipped, we loved the views of the lake from multiple decks and privacy. It was a short drive to grocery stores and many fun family friendly activities, including a boat tour of the lake, theme park, nature center, short hikes and a fun day trip to the Steamtown national historic site in Scranton. We're glad we brought our life jackets for the kids as the lake is 20 feet deep off the dock. There is a beach that's close by with very shallow water (deepest area is maybe 3 ft deep), but it was murky so the kids just played in the sand. You cannot use the fireplaces pictured for insurance reasons so don't buy s'more stuff. There was a gas fire that you can use for ambiance. There are no boats that come with this property and couldn't find a place to rent canoes on this lake, but if you have someone in your family born prior to 1982 with boating experience you can rent a pontoon boat by the hour which we did and the family enjoyed. Internet worked well in both the main house and the cottage. Bring binoculars as we had fun spotting the bald eagle and numerous deer, chipmunks and foxes!
