We had a wonderful stay at the Christel family’s cabin. They were very responsive, and we had no issues at all during our visit. The directions were clear and accurate, which made arrival easy. The home was very clean, and the beds were comfortable.The layout was perfect for our two families. It gave my family and my brother’s family the chance to come together and start the year relaxing in front of the fireplace. Having a separate living room for our teenage sons was a huge plus. They brought their PlayStation and had a great time on their own while the adults enjoyed the main space.The fireplace was a highlight and made the cabin feel extremely cozy. The couches were also very comfortable, making it easy to relax after a long day. Camelback is about a half-hour drive away, and we were able to go skiing during our stay. It was very snowy when we visited, which was beautiful and felt almost dreamy, though the lake was frozen so we did not use the lake activities.Overall, this is a very traditional cabin with a warm, cozy feel. We highly recommend it and would happily stay again.

The cabin was spacious and could easily accommodate a large family. Kitchen was functional with all the necessities to prepare and serve guests. Deck and fire pit made it possible to enjoy the wonderful lake and surrounding woods. Cabin and walkways are not handicapped accessible for walkers or wheelchairs but can be negotiated with a cane. Still....a wonderful place!

The house was great!!! It was clean and the kitchen is well-stocked with cookware and utensils. The outdoor firepit was awesome with plenty of comfortable seating and an abundance of good firewood. We appreciated the lake access for paddleboarding and enjoyed sitting on the dock bench viewing the lake. We also enjoyed the game choices provided in the house since rained one of the days we were there. Thank you for sharing your house onnthe lake!!!

A Beautiful Peaceful Week

We loved the house and the boats. It is so peaceful. You really can not swim in the Lake, it is to shallow, but great for boating and there were plenty of boats. There are so many board games too!. All in all a great week for our family.

Joe's place Gouldsburg

Had a great time. We all loved boats and fishing from the dock. Morning coffee on the deck with a view of the lake was great. We were there in a heat wave, and the house had no A/C. The interior is a little dated, and the pots and pans are not too good. About a 10-minute drive to the pool, not included with the house.

Perfect Lake Getaway with Great Amenities

We had a wonderful stay at the lake house! The property offered everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. We especially enjoyed the variety of boats that were provided — they added so much fun to our time on the water. The dock was great for fishing and got plenty of use during our stay.The house itself was spacious and comfortable, with more than enough room for everyone to spread out. Evenings by the fire pit were a perfect way to unwind, and the quiet neighborhood made for a peaceful and restful atmosphere. We also really appreciated the deck and grill setup — great for outdoor meals and enjoying the view.The only suggestion we have is to trim up the beach area and horseshoe pit a bit to make them more usable, but overall, everything else was fantastic. We would definitely come back!

Wonderful Lakeside Vacation

Our family had a wonderful stay at this lakeside house. We loved using the canoe and kayak for morning and evening rides on the lake. The sunsets were beautiful. We caught fish everyday. We enjoyed watching the ducks and we saw deer everyday around the house. The house had everything we needed as we cooked many meals during the week. Close proximity to good restaurants and hiking at the Water gap. Will definitely return severalmeals.duringweek.

Cozy, quiet, and relaxing

We had a wonderful time! The property was perfect for relaxing. The kids loved taking the kayak out and fishing from the dock. The dogs loved swimming in the lake. Maybe think about getting a 2nd kayak as that was the most popular boat by far. We enjoyed fires by the lake on several nights. I would highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a quiet place to unwind. Gouldsboro is centrally located in the Poconos so it's easy to get to other attractions as well.

Charming house on a pristine lake

We specifically wanted a lakefront to enjoy the views and water activities, and this property certainly did not disappoint. The house is situated just few steps from the water where you’d find a small sandy beach and a large dock. The house is very clean and well maintained with all the amenities that we needed. The owners are very friendly and responsive. Overall, we had an amazing time and would definitely consider this property again in the future!

Great Family Lakefront Cabin

My family and I just stayed here and we enjoyed our stay, especially the boats. All boats are here as pictured. The bathrooms are beautiful and and the outdoor deck is so nice and made of beautiful material and wraps around and has up and down dividers so a dog or child won’t fit through. The rooms were roomy and the kitchen was well equipped and the appliances were clean. They have just about everything you need , so don’t overpack. We relaxed so much that we never even went to get our passes. Even when we went fishing we caught several kinds of fish including perch, crappy, pickerel and bass. We also appreciated the gas grill and screened in patio. The cabin is in a quiet area on a-de-sac and the deer were out there everyday . As well, the fire pit area was gorgeous!! The furniture is beautiful and new and such a nice material. There is also fresh cut firewood and such a great dock with a bench. This cabin is on a lake, in the woods with such an amazing lakeside view.

Lake vacation

We had a great time at the house. Everything was clean and ready for us to move in. The lake toys were a plus. Wish the water was a bit deeper and better for swimming but we made it work. The dock and the fire pit were great. One thing is we wished check in time was earlier and check out could be earlier, we left by 9am! We did get notified the house was cleaned and we could go in an hour before official check in. Nice quiet and peaceful place to stay.
