We look forward to hosting you - short or long - and so that you feel comfortable staying at our home, know that we have taken a number of proactive steps to stem the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus and the like. We hope this offers some peace of mind.

WE CANNOT ASSURE YOU ACCESS TO THE ONSITE AMENITIES AT LAKE NAOMI THROUGH A TEMPORARY MEMBERSHIP AS THEY ARE LIMITED FOR EACH HOMEOWNER, AND ONLY AVAILABLE ON A FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED BASIS. AS OF 1/1/21, THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AT LAKE NAOMI HAVE DECIDED TO RESTRICT TEMPORARY MEMBERSHIPS (TMs) TO THOSE WHO STAY SEVEN DAYS OR MORE AND THEY ARE ONLY AVAILABLE WITH A SATURDAY START DATE. TEMPORARY MEMBERSHIPS FOR WEEKEND STAYS ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE. ADDITIONALLY, EACH OWNER WHO RENTS THEIR HOME AND TAKES A FULL FAMILY MEMBERSHIP TO THE CLUB (A REQUIREMENT FOR RENTING) IS LIMITED IN THE NUMBER OF TMs THEY CAN OFFER EACH YEAR WITH SEASONAL CAPS. BE THAT AS IT MAY, I AM HAPPY TO SHARE WITH YOU A VERY LONG LIST OF GREAT ATTRACTIONS IN THE AREA. THE POSTED RATES WILL NOT APPLY TO THOSE SEEKING A TEMPORARY MEMBERSHIP. PLEASE CONTACT US BEFORE BOOKING SO WE CAN EXPLAIN THE PROCESS AND TERMS ARE ACCEPTED.

Welcome to LaMaison, one of three vacation destinations that comprise Casa Comfort Vacation Rental Homes. These homes are designed for discerning vacationers who seek a property with just a little more character, a splash of design, oozing comfort, top notch amenities (on site and in the surrounding neighborhoods), and offering an unparalleled setting for making memories while connecting with family and/or friends.

LaMaison is an oasis where you can plan an outing for yourself and those you want to spend time with. Decompress and unwind at LaMaison, where nature surrounds you and relaxation seems to be the preferred order of the day. Relaxation which may include suiting up to ski the local resorts, checking out Kalahari's indoor water park, donning some ice skates, working on that sun tan or taking an enjoyable stroll along this premiere diamond resort community's lake and hiking. Sample the many fine dining establishments in the area or use our well outfitted and spacious kitchen and test your culinary skills. So much to do, or not, the choice is yours - we provide a back drop that is conducive to whatever you like to do on vacation in a home away from home.

Whether you choose to stay for a few days or a month or two, we will do our best to meet budget needs. If a price is not posted, send me a message and I will do my bets to respond quickly. We have a STR license with Tobyhanna but also provide long term rentals as well.

This 4BR 2BA 1 car garage with 2400 square feet sleeps 8. Three televisions and WiFi means junior can game while you watch the Super Bowl.

You could not ask for a better location! The Lake Naomi community is spacious and amenity rich! Should you elect to take out a Temporary Membership, the Lake Naomi Club Resort offers so much in the way of recreation: tennis, indoor/outdoor swimming, golf, exercise facilities, sauna, steam rooms, water park, hiking trails, sailing, canoeing, fishing, fine dining, and more. We are STEPS from the Lake Naomi Pool. You can increase your offerings by visiting some of the local state parks, Kalahari, Pocono Raceway, the Outlets, wine tasting, antiquing ... the list is quite lengthy! All can be found within a short ride of the community, if you so choose. But no pressure - relaxation is THE #1 activity! Just know that many options exist if you are so inclined!

Of all the Casa Comfort properties, this one is THE most relaxing, hands down! When we need a break in our own lives, when we want to slow down and catch our breath, this is where we go because it is quiet, private, put your feet up kinda' comfortable, and it is captivating! We love the kitchen with it's granite counter tops, custom tile back splash, stainless steel appliances, and the hardwood laminate flooring throughout (I too thought it was the real McCoy at first), the screened porch and private setting that is due in large part to the gargantuan Mountain Laurel bushes, mature trees and lush foliage that surround the property and provide a screen from neighbors and the [nominal] street traffic year round. Though we can't promise, depending on what time of year your trip brings you to LaMaison, you may see a deer or a pesky bear from time time sauntering across the property!

The house looks great and lives large! Beds are comfy, rooms are spacious and home decor is inviting and warm. Unlike other vacation rentals, we pride ourselves in creating a homey environment where you can come and relax, interact with friends, host a big meal or even elect solitude if "Me Time" is calling. Our goal is for you to feel like you are vacationing with all the comforts of that which is familiar and welcoming in your own personal home.

General Description
This beautiful contemporary home with cathedral ceilings features 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, two story stone wood burning fireplace, loft, garage, decks (front and back), a screened porch, foosball table, board games and so much more. Winter, spring, summer or fall you will find this haven like no other. A place to unwind, privacy and close proximity to pools, walking trails, recreation, ski slopes, fine dining, state of the art Logan Steele Rec Center - you choose the pace and on your terms. We've created the perfect back drop for you to cook waffles and pancakes on a Sunday morning, or to roast marshmallows and make s'mores over an open fire in the back after a day at the beach, to get caught up on your summer reading list, to watch the newest release, to relax, to unwind after a day at the slopes, to celebrate a glorious day with a cocktail or sip your favorite cognac in front of a roaring fire - the choice is yours.

Lake Naomi is Like No Other!
Our home is conveniently located just steps away from the Lake Naomi Clubhouse and pool. Be sure to check out the Logan Steele Community Center which opened May of 2007 with a heated indoor pool, state of the art exercise facilities, steam room, sauna, hot tubs, kids rec area, indoor tennis, gym, dog park and so much more! It's wireless with a nice cafe'!

Lake Naomi, a 277 acre lake community has been designated a Platinum Club of America, a prestigious honor bestowed to only 235 clubs of the 6000 that apply.

The endless walking trails, ideal location, and guaranteed relaxation all come with the house at no additional charge! For an additional fee, a temporary membership to the Lake Naomi/Timber Trails Resort can be arranged giving you unlimited access* to all pools (indoor and out), the lake, platform tennis, dog park, sauna, steam room, fitness, tennis, golf, club restaurants, kid's clubs, the fabulous recreation center and so much more! Rates vary depending on the time of year. Whether you want to golf, hike, sail, swim, ski or just lull the day away, there is no place in the Poconos more beautiful and relaxing. *Green fees and court time may be additional.

The two pools are open starting Memorial Day weekend and remain open until a week or so after Labor Day, weather depending. The pool is closed during the week until mid June and after Labor Day weekend. The HUGE indoor pool is open year round. We are situated within a 7 minute walk to the FABULOUS Lake Naomi pools which overlook the lake with views that are simply breathtaking! You can't beat our location if the Lake Naomi pool is a frequent destination while vacationing!

In the winter, this home is minutes from some of the best ski resorts in the Poconos - Camelback, Jack Frost, and Big Boulder. Not to be overlooked, is the neighboring Pocono Raceway. And the swanky super duper Kalahari Indoor Waterpark is open year round with day passes, dining and shopping all available on site! Fine dining, Pocono 500, Pennsylvania 500 Sprint Cup races, theatre, concerts, culture, you name it we got it in the Poconos! And if your kids need eye candy and an activity that is sure to wear them out, be sure to check out the Kalahari boutiques, shops and arcades, again, just minutes from the house. We are very fortunate to have them so close to the house!

The new NASCAR retail shop is one-of-a-kind with all the latest NASCAR merchandise.

Lake Naomi is 14 miles from the Pennsylvania Turnpike. It is convenient for local shopping and the outlets which are less than a twenty-minute car ride. And don't forget gambling and the casinos that have recently come into the region - if you need a little excitement, risk and reward are just a short car ride away!

During the summer months the community is quite popular, but the spring and fall are great for hitting the trails, horseback riding or checking out the local parks. Smell the aroma of mountain flowers... kayaking, fishing, bird watching, white water rafting, horseback riding, hunting, paint ball......YOU CAN DO IT ALL HERE!

The Poconos are a favorite destination for leaf peepers with its abundance of color and antique enthusiasts who return year after year for the regional crafts and competitively priced keepsakes. Looking for that unique treasure on which you can unleash your pent up DIY talents? Chances are, you will find it in the Poconos! Many shops and artisans, the search will be an adventure in itself!

Visit us in the Poconos, 2400 square miles of mountains, lakes, rivers, waterfalls and woodlands. The community boasts 25,000 acres of surrounding forest and game lands. Don't miss Bushkill Falls (the Niagara of the Poconos), the Delaware Water Gap, the Appalachian Trail, Lehigh Gorge, whitewater rafting and SO MUCH MORE!

Poconos - the stream between the two mountains!

Lake Naomi, Pocono Pines Is Wonderful
My family and I needed a mid-May week at Lake Naomi with a LNC temporary pass to use the amenities. We especially needed the pass to enter the Community Center. Wendy kindly offered that with her listing (as a separate charge from LNC) along with allowing us to bring our little dog. The visit was great and we really enjoyed ourselves. The most important highlights for us staying at the house included the nice table in the screened porch and the fire pit. Wendy found she could offer us an early check-in and a late check-out for our week. We've never have had that before and it was a gracious, thoughtful gesture. On the downside, I have to agree with other reviewers that the mattresses need upgrading. Because of our family situation, the oldest people in the family ended up attempting to sleep in the twin beds that were topped with three squeaky mattresses. It was difficult to enter and exit the beds and sleeping was very uncomfortable. The only other negative we discovered is that the house is close enough to Route 940 that you can hear some road noise when you are outside or in the screen porch. Luckily that wasn't too bad and the neighborhood, itself, was very quiet, allowing for pleasant walks down to the lake.

I rented this property for my husband's birthday weekend, to get away and celebrate with close friends and family. We had a great stay. The house was perfect for our group. The owner was very kind, organized, and provided us with great information about the area and how best to utilize their home. I would definitely recommend!

Owner was great...property was nice...the mattresses though.....
The owner was excellent with her communication and information that was provided. The property was very nice and well maintained. The only minus was the mattresses were extremely uncomfortable and made it difficult to get a good night's rest. And, we do not typically 'complain' about such things. The mattresses just need to be updated. All else good!

Family Getaway!
The Property was perfect for our family getaway! The house was the perfect layout with 2 bedrooms upstairs and 2 downstairs. The Kitchen had lots of cooking supplies which was perfect for our family as we ate all of our meals at the house. The heat in the house did seem to not be able to keep up with the cold temperatures and the house would get quite cold at times. We tried to keep a fire going which seemed to help and make the house cozy. We would recommend the property to other families looking for the perfect home to vacation in!

Very nice stay
Communication with owner was great. She responded to any questions immediately. Also, lots of information was included with our check-in information for things to do. Bedrooms were a nice size but main living area was a little smaller than I expected from the pictures on the VRBO site. Guessing they used a wide-angle lens so it appears larger. We enjoyed the screened in porch very much because it allowed us to sit outside without the bother of bugs. Lots of wet leaves on the front steps and porch area. Would have been nice if this was part of the “cleaners” process each week so we didn’t have to worry about slipping on them while loading and unloading our cars and going in and out of house. This wasn’t a big deal, though, just mentioning in case it can be rectified in the future. Our family really had a relaxing weekend and enjoyed our stay at Lake Naomi.

comfortable and quiet
What a lovely week we had. Favorite elements of the house were the screened in porch (ideal for jigsaw puzzling and coffee!!), the proximity to LNCH, the upstairs loft/living room (perfect spot for the sudden onset nap or the less social members who want time alone). What you can not see from the photos of the property are that the bedrooms are set off a bit from the living areas so they are both quiet and private. This is exactly what we needed for a Summer vacation week away.

Clean, comfortable mountain getaway - recommend!
Wendy was an excellent communicator throughout the entire process and was able to accommodate an early check to minimize disruptions to our daughter's nap time. House was clean, well stocked with supplies, and provided more than enough space for the 5 of us staying. Would recommend bringing own linens to save on the fee. Screened in porch provided several bug free mealtimes and both the front and backyard were sufficient for the dogs. The upstairs knook provided an excellent space for card games. The only downside of this location was the inability to use local lake facilities because of COVID measures in place preventing temporary membership for stays less than a week. We were fair warned about this several times so we had alternative plans, but it was a little bit of a shame being so close, but not being able to use the lake access, beaches, or amenities. Overall though this is exactly as described and I would recommend this property!

Clean, comfortable house with lots of privacy!
I stayed here for a weekend with my dog and 4 of my nieces (ranging from 10yrs to 15yrs old). The house was clean, cozy and comfortable! Our favorite spot was the screened-in porch. We had breakfast out there, played games, listened to music etc all without worrying about the bugs getting in our way. My nieces also thoroughly enjoyed the foosball table throughout the weekend. The property is surrounded by shrubbery/trees which offered a nice private space. There are fans stored in each of the bedroom closets, which I personally appreciated as I always sleep with a fan on at home and often forget to bring my travel fan (the noise helps me sleep better!). We ate some delicious food at Jubilee (2 minutes from the house), got ice cream at The Junction (about 5min from the house) and went for a nice, peaceful walk through the community. It's definitely a nice community with friendly neighbors (if you happen to see any during a walk)! My only cons would be charging extra for sheets, having to make our own beds upon arrival and having to buy all our own supplies (toilet paper, paper towels, trashbags etc). They provide just enough to start off with. These things are clearly communicated and noted prior to booking, I just feel for the price these things should be included in the cost and beds should be made. All in all, we had a great stay and made the most out of our short time there!

Lovely house in Lake Naomi, Pocono Pines PA
My family and I stayed at this property for 30 days in October 2020 during the COVID pandemic. Wendy the owner is fantastic - personable and accommodating. I highly recommend that the owner buy new mattresses for every bed. The property is dated but comfortable. If you're a minimalist, this is not the place for you. Nearly every square inch is filled with the owner's things, from dozens of sets of kitchen dishes to drawers and cabinets crammed with CD's and magazines. The internet was quirky and the cell reception poor. House is on a lovely block and close to everything in Lake Naomi. The fall leaves were gorgeous. We had many nights with a fire roaring in the fireplace. Great layout for families. The upper balcony area is huge, a favorite spot for reading and playing with the 9-month old. Lake Naomi is a spectacular destination.

Quick get away
We stayed here for a little get away from Philly with two other couples. The place was super clean and comfortable. Good sized kitchen for cooking and a nice breakfast bar for hanging at. Outdoor area was perfect for our dog and also to hang at the new fire pit. Wendy was super responsive and very thorough. The place is well maintained. Nice neighborhood with good privacy as well! Easy drive to hiking and other activities. The only thing I would mention is the glass coffee table. If you have any little ones I would def be careful!

Weekend in the Poconos
We live in Ohio, and our son and his family live in Philadelphia. This was a great home for us to get together and spend time together. The house was as described in the listing and in the photographs. It was very clean and spacious. The weather was warm enough that we were able to use the grill and eat on the screened-in porch. The area is beautiful. The leaves were beginning to change color, and there are many state parks and preserves within a short drive to enjoy hiking and the scenery.

About the host

Hosted by Wendy Ney Manley

Host profile image
We own a hand full of vacation rentals and we pick our properties based on whether we would enjoy vacationing in a certain region and if the house would create a meaningful, attractive and memorable backdrop for friends and family to gather. We try to create an environment that offers more personality, comfort and coziness than a sterile hotel room or a home that is void of any warmth or a homey feel. When we vacation we want to do so in a carefree environment that is neat, clean, updated, welcoming and relaxing.

My husband jokes that some day he would like to actually use the homes we work so hard to maintain and update, but our family is spread out across the country and very active so between family time and work our free time is not our own. Retirement can't get here soon enough!

My husband is from the Buffalo area and spent his youth there. Post college took him to Houston, Texas where he has a satellite office. He moved to the Phildelphia area where we met. He continues to commute to his Houston, TX office on a regular basis and his many clients largely in the US and Canada.

I grew up in the Philadelphia area, although college, grad school and my early career took me to New York, New Hampshire, Washington, DC and California. Both my husband and I met in the Philadelphia region, raised our children there and love our 250 year old farmhouse in Pottstown, Chester County, which is where we hang our hats when we are not on the road.

Welcome to Casa Comfort La Maison - your home away from home!

Why they chose this property

When I was between jobs and our children were very young, my mother convinced us to get away for a few days and suggested the Poconos. 'The Poconos???!!!' I said...immediately heart shaped beds, champagne glass hot tubs and all that is tacky is what came to mind! Lake Naomi could not be further from that vision! We visited with friends in Lake Naomi and quickly became hooked! We are avid tennis players and the facilities were extremely attractive! Courts are super well maintained, a separate clubhouse and pro shop, high level competition, not to mention the gorgeous lake and pools - we loved our time there! We own places at the beach and this is the place we relax the best, year round! You can choose to be solitary or find a pick-up game if one feels like venturing out, find a desolate beach with idyllic views of the lake or eat with friends poolside or lakeside and have a delightful and satisfying culinary experience.

We fell in love with LaMaison when we pulled up to the house! Steps from the Lake Naomi pool, we were instantaneously struck with the open floor plan and the two story stone fireplace as soon as we opened the front door! We loved the fact that if you are in the kitchen you are still a part of what may be unfolding elsewhere, enjoying a roaring fire or just hanging out after dinner either sitting around the large DR table or outside on the screened in porch.

When we need to get away, this is where we come, year round and so close to home! Rarely is traffic an issue and if we want to shop the outlets, hike, ski, antique shop, eat at a fine dining establishment, walk the boutiques at Kalahari (my kids are bummed it wasn't built sooner!) ski or check out Camel Beach, Jack Frost or Big Boulder or even venture north to Elk, the opportunity exists within Lake Naomi or nearby.

What makes this property unique

In 2016 we renovated the kitchen, the two baths, and replaced all the flooring on the first floor with an engineered laminate that really opened up the space. and holds up quite well to typical wear and tear and significant foot traffic The bathrooms are so much more luxurious and kitchen is so much more functional.

We have upgraded the septic system, installed new thermostats throughout, mini mobile A/C units for the public spaces and are presently replacing and repainting exterior siding and trim, as well as painting.

Don't forget to check out the foosball table - a favorite hangout for my kids, and likely yours too!

We love the stone fireplace that runs two floors, the open space floor plan, the screened porch, the brightness of the house even though we are in the woods, the wonderful cross breezes and the single car garage which provides protection when the weather is not cooperating.

We added a portable air conditioner to the first floor in 2016, and a second one to the loft in 2018, although the canopy of trees and cross breezes when the windows are open make the house very comfortable in the warmer months. The units are most appreciated on the super humid days.

Again, we have tried to decorate in a manner that is comfortable, tasteful and inviting and based on our guest book and reviews, our guests overwhelmingly agree. We hope you do too!
