Relaxing & Newly Renovated Lakehouse in Family-Friendly Community w/ Water Views

Come experience a relaxing and newly renovated getaway with amazing water views & outdoor entertainment space! Wake up and grab a cup of coffee on 1 of 2 (or on both!) big porches, with a clear view of the lake. This retreat is located in Spinnler Point, a family-friendly neighborhood with lovely Areaways to picnic, swim, play on the swing sets and see the stars at night. Spend a day on the lake boating, tubing, jet skiing and hanging out, and then make your way back home to light up the firepit for s'mores and grab a bottle of wine from the wine fridge and watch the sunset from the porch. Or curl up by the indoor fireplace on chillier nights. Enjoy a walk or bike ride around the lovely neighborhood by the water or in the woods. Proudly family owned & managed.

You’ll enter on the house on the main floor where you’ll find a half bath, coat closet with books and board games, a gas fireplace, wine fridge, large living room with LED TV and Roku, and a dining table that seats 10 (with insert). There is a fully stocked kitchen with a large farm sink, large variety of cooking and baking supplies and many spices, salt and pepper, and oils. The main floor exits onto a large porch to enjoy the afternoon sun with views of the lake and beautiful fall foliage, and a screened in porch just in case it rains. There is a fire pit outside with Adirondack chairs to enjoy s’mores and good company or curl up to the indoor fireplace on a cool fall evening.

Upstairs you’ll find 3 full bedrooms and a bathroom w/ dual shower and dual sinks. Each bedroom has a ceiling fan and dressers and closets available for clothing. The 2 guest bedrooms have double beds and black out shades. The primary bedroom has a queen-sized bed and a porch to enjoy lake views and take in the gorgeous foliage, while you sip coffee from the in-room Keurig coffee maker. The primary bedroom has air conditioning that will cool the whole upstairs in less than 30 mins. There is also a pack n play available for use.

Downstairs you’ll find a large open space for playing and hanging out. There are 2 bunk beds, a full bath including bathtub, a washer/dryer, blackout curtains for prime sleeping, kids toys and a large comfy couch and TV to let kids lounge on their own or host a movie night.


You’re 10 mins from breweries, restaurants, pizza places, coffee & ice cream shops, downtown Hawley, indoor or outdoor mini golf, and hiking Shuman's Point trail. 20 mins from Woodloch Resort & Spa, downtown Honesdale, and apple orchards and pumpkin patches for fall-time fun. We are very nearby boat, paddle board, kayak and jetski rentals, and we have a paddleboard and kayaks available for guests who sign our waiver.

August vacation

We absolutely loved our stay there. It took us a little to learn the lay of the land but once we did it was a true joy. It is truly a super short walk to the areaway where the dock is and we spent a lot of time there soaking up the sun, fishing, and swimming. The house itself is immaculate and super visitor friendly. We had a small weather hiccup which no one could control and the owner even offered us a late check out as a courtesy. The owner was always available and very helpful. We would love to rent from them again. My whole family enjoyed their stay! Thanks!

Perfect Getaway!

My family and I recently stayed her and enjoyed every minute. The house is located steps away from the lake, which made it so easy for my children and I to access. The kids were able to enjoy both swimming in the shallow water and jumping off the docks into the deeper waters. It is so close to the lake that we were able to easily take our kayak out on. The owner of the house really thought about everything necessary to make it a cozy and convenient stay. The kitchen was fully stocked with anything you would need to prepare meals. We enjoyed many meals on the deck in the evening while watching the sunset set over the lake. My kiddos loved sleeping on the bunk beds in the basement! There were toys that kept them busy at night and a TV for them to wind down with. The rooms upstairs were very comfortable. The primary had a wonderful deck to enjoy morning coffee on. Overall, we had an amazing stay! You really could show up with nothing and have everything you need there. The house was extremely clean upon arrival. The owners seemed very kind and were responsive to any questions we had.

Vacation at the lake

Everything about our stay was great. The beds, sofa and chairs were comfortable. The view of the lake from the upper and lower decks made for a very enjoyable and relaxing week. The towels were soft, plenty of spices were available and although our grandchildren couldn’t join us they would have loved all the toys. The hosts chose the amenities with care. I would definitely stay here again.

Comfortable, well-appointed house

We very much enjoyed our stay and particularly liked the community. It had four areaways or parks where there were chairs and benches to sit by the water. The house had comfortable beds, nice linens and great towels. The kitchen was well-stocked and I did not need to bring spices, oil, etc. There is a nice view of the water from the deck. Owners are super responsive. Overall, a very positive experience.

About the host

Hosted by Jillian O’Neill

Host profile image
We live in NYC but were lucky enough to purchase this property 13 years ago and have been renovating it to be a relaxing getaway for our growing family ever since. We have 3 young children who love the weekend lake life and we have so much fun as a family enjoying everything Lake Wallenpaupack and the surrounding area has to offer!

Why they chose this property

We were so fortunate to (unknowingly) find this house in this incredible neighborhood that is recognized as being one of the best on the lake for families and for the kindness of our neighbors and for the pride that everyone takes to make sure Spinnler Point is a beautiful and thriving community. You’ll find plenty of activities happening from movie nights to parades to picnics almost every weekend in the summer!

What makes this property unique

The incredible views paired with the renovations to make the house comfortable and modern, the beautiful & well-kept neighborhood and friendly people make this a perfect getaway!
