A Perfect Getaway: Hot Tub ~ Pinball ~Game Room ~ Pet Friendly ~ Remote Office

A Perfect Getaway is an amazing Pocono getaway for couples and families alike. At the house, you will love the airy layout and wooded views of the surroundings. Enjoy dinner on the back porch cooked in the spacious kitchen or grilled on the park grill next to the patio. After dinner, sit back and enjoy the large 6 person hot tub under the stars.

For those who prefer indoor entertainment, the basement rec-room will be perfect for you to unwind. A Perfect Getaway includes a brand new pinball machine and a 60-game MultiCade with all your classic favorites like Ms. Pac-Man, Space Invaders, Dig Dug, Burger Time and more! Challenge your family and friends to a game of air hockey, darts, or board games and puzzles on the high-top game table. Relax with a movie and popcorn on the big screen TV. The 62" TV is Wi-Fi enabled so bring your Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ passwords so you don't miss out on your favorite shows!

For those looking for outdoor adventures, the amenities of the Big Bass Lake community association are available to use for a small fee (please see the description of the community rules below). Lake front beaches, tennis courts, and kayak rentals are perfect for the summer adventures. Gouldsboro State Park is across the street and hiking, picnicking and boat rentals are also available on an hourly basis. In the fall and winter time, Big Bass Lake offers indoor swimming at their heated pool, tubing down their snowy hillside run, and an indoor fitness center to keep in shape.

Nearby you will find the indoor waterpark adventures of Kalahari or Camelbeach with their indoor and outdoor waterparks along with outdoor ropes courses, zip lines, and mountain coasters for down hill fun all less than 25 minutes away. If high-stakes gaming is more your style, Mount Airy Lodge is a short 25-minute day trip. For winter sports, Camel Back Mountain, Jack Frost, and Montage Mountain are all within a 30-minute drive.

And while A Perfect Getaway is designed for relaxing and getting away from it all, sometimes work calls. The fourth bedroom, in the basement, is also set up as a remote workstation. With a desk, printer, and 24" monitor ready to take care of emails or conference calls that can't be missed.

Wonderful Place for a family Thanksgiving

Very well outfitted home in an idyllic setting with deer walking around outside at all times. Hot tub on Patio deck was wonderful to relax in while snow was falling, and the game room provided some for some good family entertainment. Chris and Allison are wonderful hosts that are there to help with anything you might need during your stay. Highly recommended.

Outstanding Home

My family and I (4 adults, 2 kids, and 2 dogs) just spent a few days at this beautiful house for my son's 13th birthday and it far exceeded our expectations. It is even nicer than what you can tell from the pictures. These owners have thought of everything. It is extremely well maintained, organized, comfortable, and missing nothing. We easily cooked meals and took advantage of everything the house had to offer, including an awesome lower level with 2 arcades, pinball, darts, board games, air hockey/ping pong, comfortable lounging/tv area, and card table. It was so nice to have this area where the kids (and often adults) could actively "play" while others could be upstairs quietly enjoying the gas fireplace in the living room. The weather was harsh while we were there with a lot of snow and ice, but the house was plenty warm (you can control the temp) and the hot tub is easily accessible through the back door on the porch and with a heated floor path leading to it which keeps it ice free. There are plenty of blankets and good quality pillows and the water pressure for the showers is perfect. This is the first time that we ever did a rental that allows pets, and I was worried about it being dirty and/or having a lot of allergens as our dogs are hyper-allergenic. However, the place was immaculate, and I would never have guessed that we were in a pet friendly house. The owners were amazing: responsive and kind and we look forward to being able to book with them again.

it is a perfect getaway

I wish we weren't just getting away for 3 days and we had a full week to stay at this house. Everything was great. Clean, comfortable (great beds) everything clearly marked so you knew what switches went to what lights. Super well appointed, with kitchen and bathroom supplies. Game room (loved playing pinball) and hot tub were fantastic! Nice deck, cornhole and a grill for outdoor fun. Not far from shopping and restaurants. The only thing I could possibly think of that might be a little difficult for people who have trouble with stairs is, the staircases to the front porch and from the game/family rooms to the main level are fairly steep. Great communication with the owners. got an immediate response to a couple texts we sent them. Very friendly and care about guests having the best stay possible for a perfect getaway.

A wonderful vacation

The homeowners, Chip and Allison, were so responsive to any and all questions we had both before and during our trip. The property was clean, organized, tidy and well-supplied. Everything is labeled and easy to locate and use. The game room in the basement was a family favorite. We enjoyed air hockey, darts, pinball, Ms. Pac-Man, and watching Netflix. The bedrooms were spacious. Our kids LOVED the hot tub. The deck is a wonderful place to hang out and the front porch offered opportunities to see deer (and their fawns!), groundhogs, and other wildlife. The fire pit and the grill were great, too. We really had a wonderful time and if we ever vacation in the Poconos again, we will definitely book this property!

Friends get away

With 4 adults and 4 small children it was a great house. Unfortunately the weather didn’t hold up so we werent able to use the swimming pool and splash pad. The house had more than enough to keep everyone entertained. The owner was extremely responsive and made everything a breeze. It was so spacious so we never felt cramped at all! And the beds were so soft and comfortable. The hot tub was a nice way to end the day after all the kids were asleep. It was a great weekend!

The house lives up to it's name.

We celebrated our 2023 Thanksgiving here and this was truly the "perfect getaway". The house is immaculate from top to bottom. We spent many hours playing darts and board games down in the basement and found the hot tub to be relaxing and refreshing. The house itself is so well stocked. And the layout, having most of bedrooms and living spaces on a single floor was perfect for my older parents and kept them apart of everything that went on. We opted to not buy the clubhouse passes because frankly there was enough to do in the house that we never felt we needed to. Overall it was a great holiday and Chip and Allison were so easy to work with.

Our most wonderful stay!

This home is a real hidden gem!!. We had such a wonderful long weekend. The house has everything and more than we expected. That welcome sign melted our hearts!. The house is very neat, clean and has that amazing cozy feeling that other places lack. We were incredibly relaxed. We spent the nights playing downstairs until very late hours, kept losing track of time, they have so many games that is impossible to get bored. The location is perfect. Chip & Allison are super attentive and great to communicate with. We highly recommend this spectacular home and we'll definitely go back. Thank you!
