Drums, Pennsylvania
Private Pocono area home with lake access. Please note, this property is located about 20 minutes west of Lake Harmony, on a larger, private 130 acre lake named 'Lake of the Four Seasons' which is in the community called 'Beech Mountain Lake'. It is an electric motor only lake. Easy access off I-80 / Mt. Top exit (just east of the I-81/I-80 junction). Enjoy a beautiful 160 acre lake on the western edge of the Pocono region. Escape the commercialism and crowds of other Pocono area lakes. Beech Mountain Lake is a private gated community with it's own freshwater lake.
Kalahari Indoor Waterpark and Great Wolf Lodge are both about a 45 minute drive to the east, and Knoebel's Amusement Park and Campground is about an hour drive to the west. Miniature golf, driving range, and 18 hole golf course (Edgewater Golf Course) are 2 minutes from the entrance of the community. Sand Springs is another well known course which is about 5 miles from Beech Mountain Lakes.
Mohegan Sun Casino is 30 minutes north on I-81.
From May through October, enjoy kayaking, canoeing, and paddleboarding. We have 3 canoes, 3 kayaks and a stand-up paddleboard (the paddleboard is only to be used by adults or supervised children) to use. The lake, once used by the PA Fish Commission for spawning fish, is an electric only-motor lake. Excellent fishing for Large-mouth Bass, Perch, Pickerel, and even trout (the lake is stocked with Golden, Rainbow and Brown trout in spring for kids fishing derby). Enjoy spectacular mountain views and clear blue skies while boating on the lake. Lake is also excellent for swimming. Our community private beach is great for kids to swim and play in the sand, and it is free to use for all guests!

We just finished our fantastic New Years getaway here and loved every minute of it! The house is beautifully set up with enough space for all enjoy their time. The kids loved the basement with their own TV set up and hours of game playing on the ping pong and pool tables! The pictures don't do the house enough justice of how nice it really is! Everything is updated and the host was amazing with having it stocked with all the little things you could use. Any questions for the host were answered immediately and the whole process was super easy. Would love going back in the summer time to enjoy the lake activities and sunsets on the screened in porch.
Everything was perfect!! We had an amazing last minute vacation due to the kindness of the owners!! Thank you so much!!
This is our second stay in this house. We had a great time staying at Bill's place again. House was clean with all essentials in order. Great lower level for kids/teens, with table tennis, air hockey, pool and foosball table. Definitely recommend the place if you are planning a trip to Pennsylvania for skiing or the lake life. The community center also has swimming pool and indoor basketball and squash ball you can play. Perfect house for multiple families together
We really felt at home. The home was nicely decorated, spacious and clean. My kids loved the basement games and kept them busy. Really wish we could have stayed longer to take advantage of the pool in the clubhouse and rent a pontoon boat. The home has no AC but that wasn't an issue when we were there because it was cool outside. We would highly recommend this home. Thank you Bill for sharing your beautiful home with us.
Perfectly lovely home! Only a few steps into house for elderly mom. 2 comfy Beds and 1 bath on main level. Walk in showers no tubs. Yay. Lots of room upstairs and down when other family joined. Mostly enjoyed sitting on porch. Great place for the active young if you have then. Something for everyone.
The owners have done a great job upgrading this lake house and it showed. The entire family had such a great time that we have decided not to look for another place next year, and book as early as we can!
We couldn’t have been happier with our stay, the house was super clean and laid out well. The view from the screened in porch was very relaxing and the lake was perfect for the kids. The home owners are very nice and respond quickly to questions. Would definitely stay here again!!
This beautiful property had everything we needed for a fun weekend on the lake. We had so much fun kayaking, canoeing, and paddle boarding. Such easy access to the lake. Both the kids and adults also enjoyed the foosball table and air hockey table. We were able to easily keep the kids entertained in doors when we weren't adventuring outdoors. The kitchen was also well stocked. They even had a griddle which made breakfast so much easier. And a huge table that easily fit all of us. The house was clean and well maintained. My only complaint would be the heat the first half of our stay due to it being humid and in the 90s. The house would not cool off. However, the 80 degree days were beautiful and the house stayed cool enough without AC. This didn't effect my rating because we knew ahead of time there was no AC. It was unfortunately we came during a heat wave the first few days, otherwise the house stays cool enough without AC. We would definitely stay here again. Even with the heat it was an amazing stay.
This was our 3rd year renting this beautiful mountain home from The Downs’ The home is beautifully decorated enhancing the whole mountain vibe. We love having lake access with kayaks and canoes available for use. The grandkids loved having the game room to play in during down time. This truly is an awesome home to rent for enjoying some outdoor adventures!
This retreat in the Poconos is the ideal spot for a multi-generational getaway! We chose the location as a midway point between DC and Central NY for the eight of us and were pleasantly surprised by the space and amenities. The spacious kitchen has room enough for the whole crew to help with breakfast prep. We were spoiled by the secluded waterfront, ample canoes, and the fire pit and our grandson made a game of finding all the hidden bears in the decor. Thanks Bill for all your help in booking and allowing us to add a day. The kids are already asking when we can go back! With great appreciation, the Yochum family.
