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.

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!

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!
