Bali’s Cottage - Cozy Poconos Stay • WLE Amenities • Fire Pit

Welcome to Bali’s Cottage, our cozy Poconos home in Wallenpaupack Lake Estates.

Bali’s is a comfortable place for families, couples and friends to spend time together while enjoying Lake Wallenpaupack and the Poconos. Guests especially appreciate how clean and well stocked the cottage is, the comfortable beds, our outdoor spaces and the little essentials we provide to make settling in easier.

Fall is a beautiful time to visit. Spend the day exploring the Poconos, hiking, visiting nearby Hawley or enjoying the Lake Wallenpaupack area. Then come back to Bali’s, grill dinner on the deck, relax around the outdoor propane fireplace or gather around the backyard wood-burning fire pit.

SLEEPS UP TO 6

Bali’s Cottage has:

• Bedroom 1 — Queen bed
• Bedroom 2 — Queen bed
• Open upstairs loft — Two full-size beds
• Two full bathrooms

The open loft also has its own sitting area, giving kids or teens another place to relax.

All beds are made before arrival and bath linens are provided. Central heat and air conditioning extend throughout the cottage, including the loft.

A COMFORTABLE PLACE TO SPEND TIME TOGETHER

The main living room has comfortable seating and a Smart TV where guests can sign into their own streaming services. Wi-Fi is provided.

There are books, board games, checkers and chess for quieter time at the cottage.

The kitchen table comfortably seats six using the two additional folding chairs provided when needed.

A WELL-STOCKED KITCHEN

The kitchen includes a refrigerator, stove and oven, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, crockpot, regular drip coffee maker and Keurig.

We provide starter supplies including regular and decaf K-cups, tea, creamers and sweeteners, along with basic kitchen essentials such as salt and pepper, foil, plastic wrap, dish soap, dishwasher tablets, paper towels and garbage bags.

A few complimentary snacks and bottled waters are provided for your arrival. Selection may vary.

THOUGHTFUL EXTRAS

We know it's easy to forget something when packing.

A selection of starter toiletries and commonly forgotten personal-care essentials is available for guests. We also provide toilet paper, bath towels, hand towels and washcloths.

Please bring your own beach and pool towels. Cottage bath towels are intended for indoor use.

ENJOY THE OUTDOORS

The front deck has a propane grill and a four-person outdoor dining table, plus a separate seating area with a two-person sofa, two teak chairs and an outdoor propane fireplace.

The deck furniture, grill and propane fireplace generally remain available through the end of October, weather and safety permitting.

The backyard also has a wood-burning fire pit for evenings outside.

Keep an eye out for the local wildlife—deer are commonly seen around the cottage and throughout WLE.

Please note that the cottage’s indoor wood-burning fireplace is not available for guest use.

The owners, Lisa and Baker, were very easy to communicate with. They shared all necessary information before arrival. They sent over the paperwork for the rental agreement and car tag with good timing. They also shared clear information on how to check in and check out, along with other useful information. The home was clean and comfortable, stocked with essential cooking equipment. There were clean bath towels. WLE is a great neighborhood with outdoor space for activities like volleyball, fishing, indoor and outdoor pools, lakes for paddle boarding, jet skiing (bring your our probably).

Very cozy lake cabin. Kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed. Beds were comfortable. We enjoyed the deck and fire pits. Wallenpaupack Lake Estates has great amenities. Easy check-in and great communication with owners. House is on the outer edge of the WLE and on a very busy street with a somewhat loud rock/landscaping business nearby if that is a concern to you. Thank you for a great stay!

We stayed here for 4 nights with family (2 adults, 2 teens, 2 seniors). Absolutely loved this cozy home. Very clean and fully stocked with all essentials. The neighborhood was super safe as a part of the well maintained community. Easy drive to grocers, coffee shop and lake. The community also has a well maintained beach and swimming pool. We were a bit nervous with the new listing but do not worry. The house is amazing and we highly recommend.

Cozy Chalet Rental

There is always risk in renting, especially with a new listing, but from start to finish this was a 10/10 experience. The property owner immediately communicated with us when I completed my booking. I had a minor question about accommodations and she immediately came back with answers. The property and home was exactly as described and met all expectations. The house was very clean and my young kids loved every second of their time there. The intro package at the house was super helpful and was clear and concise, so didn’t need to ask any questions. I communicated when we left the property and Lisa came right back! She was excellent and easy to reach. My family owns property and rents in WLE and said our experience was a 10/10, as well. Thank you, LISA!

Comfy Cozy Chalet in Wallenpaupack Lake Estates!

Bali's Cottage was absolutely adorable. It is exactly as pictured, so cute and extremely clean! The beds and bedding reminded me of hotel quality and it was so nice that all bedding and towels were provided. Plenty of towels were given, we had extra sets that we didnt even use. A sweet added touch was the travel toiletries and starter snacks and supplies that were provided. The chalet was perfect for our group of 6, myself and husband, my parents, and our 2 sons aged 7 and 10. We brought fans with as we werent sure how cool the AC would be, but it worked great so we didnt need them. Fans were also already provided in each room. There was plenty of hot water that we were all able to shower back to back and not run out. The estate itself is also awesome! Everything is super close to the house, about a 15 minute walk to the farthest away lake and pool and about a 3 minute walk to the closest. There is parking at each lake and pool so you can also choose to drive. The lake areas with beach access were so nice and empty! I felt like we were on our own private island. The pools are beautiful and also kept very clean. The activities were very nice as well. We did ceramics with the kids and the adult water aerobics. The 2 pools each have a cute snack. We checked out some local restaurants as well and Lisa and Baker were kind enough to give us some of their favorite recommendations. They responded asap to messages and were so helpful! We truly had the best vacation at Bali's Cottage!
