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

Wonderful house. Hot tub was great. Clean and organized. Games for kids. Record player was great. Alexa helped to ask some questions about the area. On the lake. Beautiful view. Host was accessible. The only tough part was trying to find the dumpster to throw out the trash. You have to drive for this.

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!

My partner and I stayed for three nights. Overall everything was great - communication with the owner was amazing, making for a seamless arrival/departure process. The house was exactly what we were looking for, and their openness to dogs made it a perfect fit for us and our 6-month old puppy. Overall one of the best poconos houses we’ve stayed at!

Beautiful Place

We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin is beautiful, just as the pictures, and location is perfect. Beach is walk distance. Communication with owner, checking in and checking out was smoothly. I would definitely stay again. Things to improve on: the backyard needs maintenance we couldn’t use the canoe because the way to go into the water was obstructed; there should be extra garbage bags, I understand that renters take advantage but at minimum an extra 3-5 bags would do the job.

Relaxing by the lake

My family and I had a great time at the fountain house! The location was great as my teenage kids could easily walk to the pool on their own. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and the views from the deck. We were not able to find carts to bring the kayaks down to the lake but we were able to fit one in our SUV and drive it down. My wife had a great time kayaking around Deer Lake. Also have never seen so many deer so close! Overall great trip!

Fun in the Poconos

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at this lake house. The house is very nice and the view from the deck is gorgeous! The beds were comfy and they had lots of neat touches inside the house like a record player, a huge tv, and tons of games. It's located in a great community that has so many fun amenities (lake, indoor/outdoor pools, gym, small game room, tennis courts to name a few). It's also not too far of a drive from good restaurants (John's) and stores (Weis Supermarket, Dollar Tree, CVS). The owners were wonderful so easy to contact and quick to respond. Overall, we loved the place and would definitely stay there again!
