This property had absolutely EVERYTHING you could imagine. It was clean and cozy. It was only my husband, myself and our pups, however there is plenty of room for families. The weather was a bit rainy so the board games, record player and TVs definitely came in handy. The development is quiet with beautiful scenery, especially with the fall foliage. It looks like it would be a blast their during the summer as well. The property owner was responsive and very accommodating. We would definitely recommend this property.

Fun relaxing vacation.

For a relaxing vacation in an amenity filled community in the Poconos you can't find a better place. Our family had a great time, the house was full of fun games and my daughter and I had a great time playing on the Xbox. The pool down the street is very close and easy to get too. My son loved the finishing in the lake across from the house, we caught several large mouth bass. Sean is super friendly and will answer any questions you have as well as the welcome packet they send when you first book is full of useful information and makes the check-in process super easy. Thanks again for allowing us to stay in your home.

Great Week at WLE!

We had a wonderful stay at WLE on Lake Wallenpaupack! While the rental was smaller than our last, we enjoyed the cozy feel and loved being closer to the pool—it made for such a relaxing and convenient week.We’re incredibly grateful that the owners allowed us to bring our three dogs, which made the trip even more special. The kitchen was another highlight—high-end appliances and quality cookware made it easy to cook meals and feel right at home.One difference from our previous rental was needing to bring our own condiments, spices, and oils. It added a bit more prep on the front end, but in the end, we enjoyed having our own things with us.Most of all, we want to thank thenowners for being so kind, helpful, and accommodating—especially given some personal circumstances leading up to our trip. They were incredibly responsive and made the whole process smooth and stress-free.Overall, it was a great week, and we’d absolutely consider staying again!

Weekend Getaway

We had a lovely time staying Christine and Shawn’s home. The amenities within the community are great. Hawley is a 15 minute drive away and has a great small town feel with loads of antique shops. There are some good hikes near by and the lake is beautiful. We had trouble trying to fit everything into one weekend. The house is clean and cozy and Shawn and Christine send you loads of info and recommendations making the trip easy and enjoyable

Perfect getaway

I booked this place for a weekend and that was my only mistake. This place was fantastic. Hot tub overlooking the lake. A trail around the lake right outside your front door. Hulu live TV which was a great addition since I stayed Super Bowl weekend. And so much more! I went to have a quiet birthday weekend with my pup and I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. I got snowed in my second day there but even then I was able to make a day out of it. Getting in was so easy and everything is house was clean and neat. It really felt like I owned the cabin for the weekend. I didn’t have to ask for one thing, everything was prepared for my stay perfectly. Even if I did have to ask, communication was open at all times from booking to staying. Shawn was amazing!I can’t wait to book again during a warmer elongated week!
