Quiet Cove, Renovated Kitchen, Beautiful Views

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 27 reviews7 months ago

Views. Views. Views. The views. The views were absolutely stunning and the best on the lake. We rented a boat, had a lot of fun doing so, but literally spent more time at the house because of the views, privacy, and serenity. Paddle boarding, kayaking, and hanging out on the dock was spectacular. There are views from the kitchen, dining area, patio, every where you turned, the mountain was in full glory. The house was well equipped and stocked, with an added bonus of a nostalgic trip to the 80’s with the original floors and design. We had a great time taking in the serenity of it all. We felt a true connection with the energy of the space and nature. With all the hustle and bustle of our stressful lives, this listing has everything you can think of to unwind, unplug, and have a good time. Thank you for a wonderful experience. We will be back!

Cottage on Prentice Creek, PA

5 out of 5 average rating, 83 reviews4 months ago

I cannot find the words to express our families stay. When I say this was the best stay at an ABNB we have had thus far it was. The outside itself from the landscaping to the scenery was breathtaking. Checking in was a breeze. Once inside pictures cannot begin to show the beauty of this property. The hosts have really thought through a guest experience. They went over and beyond hosts duties adding extreme attention to details. Anything and everything you may need or want for your stay was there. Even with all the extra amenities and the beauty of the home our family instantly felt at home. We loved our stay so much we have already booked our next stay.

"Retro Retreat" Lakefront House

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 99 reviews4 months ago

We had an amazing time at the cabin! The lakeside view was absolutely stunning—waking up to the serene water and watching the sunset was a highlight of our trip. The cabin was cozy, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. Whether we were soaking in the hot tub, unwinding by the firepit, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings, it was the perfect escape. The host Eric was fantastic—super friendly, quick to respond, and made everything so easy. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun and rejuvenating retreat.

Turkey Run Ranch was a great choice for our Thanksgiving break! It reminded us of a nice cabin in the woods but with a beautiful lake. We had a number of deer visit one night and a possum came up to one of the glass doors to say hello. The place is cozy and comfy and great for unwinding. Bill has stocked the home with everything you need! He was the best host ever! We will come back to the ranch!😁

Riverview Retreat

4.92 out of 5 average rating, 13 reviews3 months ago

The house was perfect for our family get-away. There is enough room for everyone and yet the large public space made it easy to congregate. The kitchen is amazing for the cooking a meal and there was a great selection of movies when we came back tired and wanted to unwind. It was quite cold out but the house was warm and cosy and we enjoyed our time hanging out there.

Dock & Private Boat Ramp w/flat yard

5 out of 5 average rating, 33 reviews4 months ago

This was our family’s second visit to Jennifer’s Lake Gaston house for Thanksgiving and we so enjoyed our time there! The house is spacious with a beautiful and quiet location on the lake. It’s so generous of the host to allow use of the kayaks and canoe, which makes this place truly extra special. The dock and other outdoor spaces are also lovely and the area is great for taking long walks. Check-in and check-out were a breeze and Jennifer is an extremely responsive host.

The place looks just like in the photo. The house is pristine clean and well decorated. Its surrounding is also beautiful and peaceful. We had fun with catching crabs and kayaking around from the dock in the backyard. The owner is very responsive and gave good instructions. We enjoyed our stay a lot. Will definitely keep the house in mind in our next visit.

Dockside Daze-Prime Waterfront Loc/ Amazing Views

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 36 reviews5 months ago

This was the most well equipped home I have ever stayed in, from everything you will need in the kitchen to outside fun like kayaks, corn hole boards, and a paddle boat. Even the small stuff we sometimes forget like shampoo, toothpaste and toothbrush was provided. The entire home inside and out was well thought about!
