Lakefront Cove - Kayaks, Games, Beach, Golf, Ski

No matter the season you can relax, rejuvenate and enjoy this 3 bed - 3 bath, light-filled lakefront sanctuary, fully-stocked with all modern conveniences. The cabin includes game room with a pool table and foosball.

Located in The Hideout, one of Northeast Pennsylvania’s premier 4 season communities - boating, fishing, swimming, tennis, pickle ball, golf, ice skating, skiing, tubing and hiking are all at your doorstep.

Savor a cup of coffee on the deck or a glass of wine on the dock, soaking in the peaceful tranquility of Roamingwood Lake. Stay up late playing cards in the screened in porch or curl up with a good book next to the fireplace. Take the paddle boat or canoe out on the lake. This property is perfect for families or friends looking to get away.

For those who want to work remotely, high-speed WiFi means working remotely is easily possible.

Enjoy fresh mountain air in a secluded haven in the trees. A half-acre of lakefront paradise is all yours for relaxing, canoeing, paddle boating, swimming, and fun. Inside lies a huge game room with wood stove, pool table, foosball and a hand-crafted natural wood bar for serving your favorite beverages to friends and family. On the main floor, the fully-stocked kitchen with breakfast bar is open concept to a cathedral-ceiling living and dining space and outdoor deck with a treehouse-like view through the trees to the lake. A screened in porch keeps bugs away in the summer and a beautiful fireplace keeps you warm in the winter. A loft with couches and a smart TV make movie night any night.

There are two bedrooms and a bathroom on the main floor, a bedroom and bathroom in the loft and a half bath and laundry facilities in the basement. PLEASE NOTE: Pending governance changes MAY impact future occupancy limits.

Great location. Lake views are even better in person.
The house is located on a quiet cul-de-sac and nice cove of the lake. The house sits up high and has nice views of the lake. The host provided everything you could want for your stay... kayaks, canoe, paddle boards, towels, kitchen supplies, etc...

Wonderful Lake House
We had an amazing time. The owners thought of everything we could need. The kayaks were a huge hit and we took advantage of the amenities of the community (dinner at the clubhouse, the beach, golf, drinks at the Tiki Bar). The view from the deck and the sunset at the dock are amazing. Loved being able to arrive and find the sheets on the beds allowing us to immediately enjoy our vacation.

Cozy, Comfy & Very Clean
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Poke a Nose Inn. The house was impeccably clean and cozy. The owners/agents thought of everything in order to provide comfort and accommodate ease of stay. We had to make the beds at our previous VRBO but it was such a treat to arrive at Poke A Nose & find already freshly made & very comfortable beds. Everything that we could possibly need was supplied in ample quantities (in comparison to our previous VRBO where we had to run out to purchase additional household supplies as we quickly went through their minimal quantity of starter supplies). My husband and older son enjoyed golfing at the Hide Out’s Golf Course. We all loved playing pool at the house & taking the canoe & peddle boat out. Best of all was fishing from the dock; we caught & released all kinds of fish (large & small mouth bass, a walleye, blue gills, pumpkin seed & a catfish). We were amazed & have a great family memory of our 11 year old accidentally dropping his hook in the water as he was untangling his line & instantly pulling it up (no more than 2 seconds later) with a fish on the hook. He is still talking about his superior fishing skills.

Kid-friendly Neighborhood
This was our first time to the Pocanos and we had a wonderful time. The cabin is located right on the water in a quiet gated community. We came here for the skiing and weren't disappointed. We had the best day at Elk mountain, which was an easy drive. (Tip: buy tickets online and then park in the upper lot right next to the slopes. There is a ticket kiosk right at the lift. Ski in and ski out from your car) The cabin is perfect for families. We had four adults and four kids (5-17yo.) There was something for everyone. The basement, with it's pool table, dart board and foosball occupied all the kids for the better part of a week while the adults enjoyed the view and the fireplace from the main floor. One thing that we especially liked was the bed configuration, which so many cabin owners get wrong. Having a bedroom with bunk beds is brilliant and allowed us to accommodate two families with kids without a problem. For this reason alone, we'll be coming back. The kitchen was well appointed with everything to cook family-style meals and the espresso maker was a nice treat. There was a shortage of silverware for our large group, but the owners said they are adding a new set immediately. If the weather had been warmer, we would have taken advantage of the HUGE hammock by the water and the cool Solo Bonfire pit. Wireless was high-speed and supported video conference calls for work. Cellphone coverage (AT&T) was fine. The grocery store (Weis?) was only 10min away and was much better than expected. In fact, next time, we'll probably do groceries when we get there. Check in was easy, although we did have to wait a five minutes at the community gatehouse for our passes. We can't wait to come back during the summer. The waterfront looks ideal for kids and boating. We wish there was a large yard for outdoor games, but the community is very friendly and there are many outdoor amenities like a community beach and basket ball courts that we didn't use because of the winter weather. We'll definitely bring the kid's bikes next time. The neighborhood reminded us of when we were kids and the streets were safe for packs of kids to roam around on their bikes. Perfect escape from daily life.

Cozy relaxation!
Recharging winter stay! Poke A Nose Inn was the getaway friends and I so needed from the city. Wifi was excellent for getting work done. We spent cozy nights in front of the fireplace - major hygge vibes with oversized comfy couches and chairs and extra throw blankets. Kitchen had all the basics we need to make cooking all meals in easy. The club house does have a restaurant that is open, but we didn’t get time to try. Grocery store very short drive in town is pretty good. Nights are super quiet! Easy to sleep here. Clean, brightly lit with big windows, plenty of space for our group to spread out. We’ll be back!

Had a lovely few days remotely working with some friends. WiFi was strong enough so the three of us could be on video calls at the same time. Enjoyed the fireplace and relaxing.

Great getaway anytime of year!
I’ve stayed at Poke A Nose Inn twice now, once in early autumn and once in the winter. It’s a picturesque and tranquil spot that has been a lovely respite from city life with both extended family and friends. So far, we’ve loved being lakeside, as well as cooking in and enjoying the fireplace. When we visited in the fall, we ate every meal outside, either on the screened-in porch or on the deck. It’s also well-situated for remote working. We look forward to returning again this year!
