Family at the Lake

Our Family, a total of 16, gathered together to enjoy a week with one another at the Lake. We had a wonderful time playing in the water, touring a bit in the area, and cooking for one another. It was a perfect vacation. The owner and property manager were there to address one small problem we had, but they fixed it as quickly as it could be. We were thankful for that and I recommend this host to anyone looking for that relaxing enjoyable reunionl.

An Excellent Place for a Large Family Get-Together

The location on this scenic small lake was marvelous! The water was clean and fun to be in or around. The little beach area and fire pit were much appreciated. Lots of working kayak-style boats provided free, plus a small electric-motor pontoon boat can be rented for relaxing trips around the lake. The inside of the house is beautiful, clean, and quite functional. Kitchen is large, well-equipped, and easy to work in. The game rooms were a hit for many of us. Oddly enough, everything looked more spacious in person than in the photos! The current owner was very responsive to my messages, and helpful. We all had a great time!!

Family vacation retreat

The house was amazing! There were lots of amenities and things to do. Having access to the clubhouse was a bonus because they have an indoor pool for when the weather isn't cooperating. Great for kids and plenty of space for everyone. The boat was definitely an added bonus. One downside was the A/C was not able to cool the upstairs properly, even with the weather being very mild during our stay.

Relaxing family get-away

We had a wonderful family vacation at this beautiful home with our children and grandchildren. There were 8 of us and we had plenty of room to spread out. The weather was perfect, the boat got plenty of use, had a fire on the beach every night, many wildlife sightings on the property (deer, swan, ducks, skunks, eagle, osprey, chipmunks and fox). So much to enjoy, the TV was only turned on once to watch Olympic closing ceremony and only left the property once to go out for dinner. Can highly recommend Evan’s Road House, food and service were great. Had a small glitch when powder room toilet sprung a small leak but Woody responded immediately and had a plumber there to repair right away. This is a wonderful place to stay if you are looking to relax, fish, breathe in some mountain air and spend quality time with family and friends!

Family Retreat

Great property and location. The kitchen was actually stocked better than we expected. Everything was in good condition with plenty of water activities. The lake was very clean too. There was little activity on the lake until mid-morning....except us fishermen! We caught smallmouth and largemouth bass, perch and pickerel. It was a perfect getaway for our family.

Great Family Vacation

This lake house is great…room for all 17 us - 8 adults and 9 kids. The kitchen is well stocked with appliances and our son-in-law was in his glory making super breakfasts to start our days of activities. Going out on the pontoon boat, kayaking, paddle boarding, going to the beach at the clubhouse, singing and watching the sunset around the fire pit, fishing, the hot tub, swimming and splashing around in the lake, puppets shows and so many laughs made for an amazing fun-filled week. So happy we had the chance to stay at this lake house for a 2nd time. Thank you from the Monahan/Beatty families for all the memories we have to share🤗😎🎣🛶❣️

Long weekend trip

We had a great stay and really enjoyed our time here. Booking and checking in was easy. The house is exactly as the listing described. We loved the updated lower level with pool table, ping pong, and foosball. This made our rainy Friday fun. Kids loved fishing from the dock and the boat. The house was well equipped. Would definitely stay here again.

Peaceful get away on a quiet lake with activities at your fingertips

Our family recently stayed at this lakefront rental over Columbus Day weekend. The owner was very responsive. The home is beautiful and located on a peaceful - battery only lake. We were pleasantly surprised that the home had more boats than mentioned in the listing (kayaks, paddle board, canoe). We rented the pontoon boat as well for several relaxing strolls around the lake. Our family caught a handful of large mouth bass (catch & release). The weather conditions were mixed making the activities available in the house and clubhouse very handy. Please note this is a very family friendly house. They have a cute puppet show set for the little ones, amongst other toys. Games for teens and adults in house include the beautiful pool table, ping pong & board games. Activities at the clubhouse include volleyball, tennis, indoor pool, indoor basketball, racquetball and small arcade. The kitchen has every appliance you would need and 2 grills. Cooking for a large family was very easy. To top the weekend off, our son ended up coming down with a double ear infection going into Sunday. Geisinger Convenient Care was 15 mins away and had zero wait time, with friendly staff first thing in the morning. The CVS pharmacy on the way back to the lake was also very prompt at filling our script. Overall, lovely stay with a beautiful location. Thank you for sharing your lake home with other nature loving families.

Pocono Mac 2.0 was even better!

Annual friends fall weekend was a blast, yet again. This house fit us better (and we had many of the same awesome amenities!) and we loved the big, expansive views of the lake. The fireplace wasn’t working which was a bit of a bummer especially since we had a few rainy days. We’ll definitely back to this house - one of our favorite weekends and favorite spots!

Beautiful modern house in quiet neighbor and lake!

The property was everything we were looking for. The property is private enough that you are not tripping over your neighbors or having to share the lake front. The house was clean and well maintained. The house was stocked with everything you need, especially in the kitchen, with plenty of plates, silverware and all the cooing pans etc. that you could need, all in large kitchen that can accomodate several people working in there at the same time. The open concept living room and and dining room made it nice so that everyone could be together for dining and relaxing. The bathrooms were plentiful and the water pressure was good. The basement game room was great for the rainy days, we were never bored. The large deck overlooking the lake was more than big enough for everyone to relax, eat and enjoy the views. The private sand beach was small, but adequate for us. We enjoyed the fire pit with plenty of chairs in the evenings, and the available kayaks etc during the day were great. The lake was very warm and the fishing was fun, even off the dock. Overall, it was a very relaxing stay.
