Behind the Red Door
Vibrant and inviting, the red door of Lakestone stands out against the sandy beige siding and snow white trim, inviting you to walk inside and check out the wonders that can be found there! The kitchen is open to the rest of the house, offering warm cabinets, updated appliances, and cool granite countertops; the breakfast bar that stands separate from the rest of the counters allows 3 guests to sit and chat with whoever is the cook of the day! In the dining room, a large wood table sits atop a brilliant red rug, and the space, although it is tucked away at the corner of the house, seems large and grand as the windows that surround the table offer unobstructed views of the landscape and the lake.
Wood floors lead to the living area, in which a stone fireplace serves as a focal point, topped with a state-of-the-art television, and surrounded by sofas and chairs that are plush and comfortable. More touches of red can be found in the rug under your feet and in the curtains that hang on either side of the oversized glass doors that lead out to the deck. In the bedrooms, a variety of beds ranging from twin bunks to king-sized mattresses beckon when the moon rises high and your eyelids begin to fight a losing battle with the sandman. A game room with pool table, a loft space with its own bed, and a mudroom that offers wood lockers, a washer and dryer, and an extra refrigerator finish out the tour of the inside.
Of Course, There Is More!
With the sights and sounds of the lake located just outside your door, you'll find yourself wanting to spend as much time as possible outside! Whether you are barbecuing on the deck on a warm summer evening, soaking in the hot tub as the night air starts to become cool, or are just watching the sunset into the lake, you will know that choosing Lakestone for your vacation accommodations was the best decision you have ever made.

This property was exactly as described and fit my family perfectly. The bathrooms and the kitchen is clean and the beddings and towels has been sanitized. Location is one house away from the beach. A bit expensive but I will rent the house again. Thank you Carmen for responding to our request for further instructions on how to use the thermostat and to the engineer who walked us through the instructions.
The house was equipped with everything we needed from board games to kitchen appliances! 10/10 recommend!
Amazing house with plenty of room. Great space for gaming and very comfortable.
My experience was great for this house. My family and friends truly loved the space and will definitely plan to book again. Prepare to carry your toiletries. For the price they charge, guests should be provided will all toiletry necessities such as toilet paper and tissue and also garbage bags.
We had a wonderful stay! The house was beautiful and suited our family perfectly. It is only two houses from the beach - Perfect for teens to have some freedom. My only complaint would be about the information given ahead by the owner. I had asked if we could put our kayaks in the lake at the house since it was on the lake. His response was no. He gave no explanation. When we got there and asked if we could put the kayaks in at the boat launch, we were told they had to be registered with the community and that the owner should have told us that. So we were on the lake but had to go half an hour to another lake to kayak. Every time I asked a question of the owner, he was very short and seemed annoyed that I asked him for info. We did have a wonderful time, though and the house is great. Plenty of beach passes. Would go again.
This is a large, clean, nicely furnished house. Per previous renters, only starter supplies are provided — bring everything: hand/dish/laundry soaps, paper towels, bathroom floor mats, toilet paper, etc. Bath towels + bed sheets are provided. Kitchen is well equipped w/ lots of dishes, pots, 2 dishwashers, etc. Upper deck is beautiful w/ a grill (2 propane tanks incl.) which we loved using while catching up w/ family post-Covid lockdowns for a weekend. Hot tub (access w/ a key) is a nice bonus. There's a small lake/river behind the property + man-made beach (no pets) / basketball + tennis courts nearby. NOTE: ALL garbage must be pre-sorted (recyclables: cardboard, plastic, glass + garbage) and dropped off in garbage dumpsters a couple of streets down. They have strict rules on what garbage gets dumped in what dumpster (these details NOT incl. in house rules). NO PETS or OUTSIDE FIRE PIT allowed. Also, this property is managed by Pocono Mountain Rentals (not VRBO) and they weren't friendly when I had confusion on how the property is listed on VRBO. They claimed they don't manage the listing on VRBO which is super misleading — bc you don't learn about this until after you book it. Lastly, the house is pretty, neighborhood is beautiful. BUT, we were a family of South Asians and felt VERY discriminated against. We decided to go for a walk around the lake on a beautiful sunny day WITH beach passes provided at the house — you need them to access the beach area — and a white woman (resident) from the area called security to check on us. There are a LOT of vacation rental properties here, so large groups of families taking a walk shouldn't be a surprise to them. Before anyone jumps to any conclusions, we are not rowdy, are well educated, and most of us are 1st gen Americans. We also had a white guy from their neighborhood watch share how there are sightings of escaped black convicts sometimes and that's when they grab their rifle and go koon hunting. (If you don't know what that means, look up how it's used as a derogatory term to describe a black person.) He then assured us that we were the good brown skinned people. UNBELIEVABLE. This ruined our experience and we decided to spend the rest of our time at the house. In conclusion, if you're white or look white, this will be a great experience for you. If you're colored in any way, I wouldn't rent this place. Needless to say, we will NEVER return or rent this property again.
My family and I had the most amazing stay here. The house and property was beautiful and everyone was so helpful. I would 100% stay here again and so would all of us, in fact we are planning another trip eventually! Thanks for the memories Lakestone!
Beautiful home that was perfect for our family size of 17. The jacuzzi was a great touch that we really enjoyed. We would definitely return!
Rented the house to celebrate a friends birthday and do some skiing. Overall great experience. House was very spacious, kitchen was fully equipped and everything worked fine (hot tub, speakers, tv, grill, etc). Location is also very convenient, close to several skii resorts and the highway exit.
Perfect house for our trip. Would love to stay here again!
