Terrific Vacation!!
We were here to celebrate our son’s birthday and we have had a great time here. So many great memories from grilling steaks and dining outside to nice hot breakfasts in the kitchen! We loved not having a tv to distract the good times! I wish I could pack it up and take it home with us! Thanks so much for sharing this property with us!

What a gem
We had to go to Pennsylvania for Mom's funeral and picked this place so our family could be together. It exceeded expectations and afforded us to be able to gather as a family for a meal after the funeral.Everyone loved the place and several plan to tell others about it. Can't wait to go back when the weather is better so we can enjoy it to it's fullest.

Fantastic Getaway
Beautiful home that easily accommodated the whole family for a wedding at French Creek. Way better than a bunch of separate hotel rooms. The property is gorgeous and the home is well stocked. Plenty of indoor and outdoor space for all. We had a blast and loved it. Definitely want to come back for a quiet family weekend escape. FYI, there is no television so be prepared to actually spend time together.

Beautiful & Romantic Escape close to home
We had a wonderful, romantic & peaceful stay. This has become a new favorite for a nice local getaway thats not too far from home. Everything was as expected and beyond. If I must comment on something that really stood out, it was just having little things avaliable that we didnt think about needing. Such as sugar for our coffee or baindaid for a little cut. . Looking forward to staying whre again!

Home away from home
We stay at this property every New Yars and this year did not disappoint. With the new covered area over the patio made sitting outside even during the rain comfortable. Always a pleasure to enjoy some electronic free time with family enjoying this beautiful property.

Weekend Stay
The property and home were really beautiful and peaceful. My parents kept commenting how much they wished they owned it. It was also spacious enough for our dogs and their cages. We attended a wedding at the French Creek Golf Club and it was only a 10 minute drive away.

Lakewood Retreat
Thank you, we had such a lovely weekend! The house and property were so nice, impeccably clean. We really enjoyed the French Creek State Park that was only about a mile away. The fall foliage was spectacular, very nice hiking options around the lakes. We will definitely stay again if we are in the area.

Exceptional Stay!
This VRBO rental is definitely the gold standard for all owners to follow. The house was immaculate and so warm and welcoming. The grounds were absolutely beautiful at every turn. We wanted for nothing! The home is completely furnished with everything one needs for the perfect stay. The kitchen was well equipped, including a Keurig, k-cups and coffee pot. The perfect fire pit with wood provided. An awesome patio fully covered, and the bedrooms were beautifully decorated and comfortable. Highly recommended!

Beautiful property.
Our family of 3 generations stayed for a short "cabin" getaway. It was a beautiful home and a fantastic stay. It was quiet and there was enough games and outdoor activities for the entire family. Our group would highly recommend.

Perfect weekend getaway
We could not have asked for a better weekend away at this beautiful property! Our family from VA was looking for a place to meet up with good friends from NJ and happened upon this area, and struck gold with this house. All 5 kids had a blast on the paddle boat and kayaks, and couldn’t get enough of the fishing. Even the 3 year old felt like a pro-fisherman! Nearby French Creek Park provided a nice hike around the lake and a huge pool for cooling off after. The house itself was lovely inside, felt very welcoming and homey. We were all sad to have to leave!

Wunderbare Location
Wir waren mit 2 Famillien (leider nur) für 2 Tage im Lakewood Retreat und haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Das Haus ist sehr liebevoll eingerichtet, alles da was man braucht. Ganz besonders ist aber das Grundstück mit dem See, dem wunderschönen Blick von der Terasse und der Feuerstelle. Unsere (erwachsenen) Kinder haben von Kanu über Tretboot, Angeln bis zu den Luftmatratzen alles genutzt, was das Haus zu bieten hat. Und die Abende haben wir am Lagerfeuer ausklingen lassen. Wir können das Haus nur jedem empfehlen!
