Vacation rentals in Wanaksink Lake

Our stay at Starlight Serene was everything we hoped it would be! John was very responsive and helpful, especially as this was our first time using AirBnB. The pictures are very accurate, there were plenty of towels, linens, and a VERY well equipped kitchen - much more than we expected (or I have in my own house, I think!). Lots of nice bonuses to this place - my kids loved the firepit and there was wood on hand as well as a s'mores kit; the hot tub was warm and ready when we arrived. You are at the narrower end of the lake, but still a beautiful view with plenty of wildlife. The location is great - roughly 30ish minutes to Bear Mountain, Legoland, and the Palisades Center (which had tons of rainy-day fun for kids). We even rented a pontoon boat from Murphy's Cove Marina - Richie was really wonderful to us and our kids and they loved their first time boating and fishing on the lake. Thanks for a great experience John!

My boyfriend and I absolutely loved staying at Bob & Julie’s lake house. 10/10! The house itself looks exactly like the photos with so many accommodations you usually don’t expect in an air bnb. Amazing kitchen (something I look for since I love to cook). I cooked a lot this weekend and it felt like home! The backyard is perfect. We were outside most of the day either by the lake, the fire pit or in the hot tub at night just loving life. We made A LOT of s’mores. The house is literally ON the lake with picture perfect views and the surroundings and the lake are kept SO clean. Bob and Julie were amazing hosts before, during and after our stay. Very quick to respond and always friendly. We’ve already told them we would love to book another weekend here again and probably for an extra night this time!

Place was beautiful . Amenities were fantastic. She was a responsive host. Would stay again 100x again.

The cottage was lovely and very comfortable. Simon left us detailed instructions and we had no issues in finding it and settling in. As the weather took a turn for the worse, we spent most of a day cozy in the house. Our dogs were also very comfortable and loved the large backyard. The house decor is very tastefully done, and not only looks great but looks like special effort has been taken to make everything comfortable and easy to use. Thank you for sharing your home!!

We had a terrific time. It’s a lovely home- 20 min from Shawnee mountain and steps away from an indoor/outdoor pool facility (depends on weather), sledding hill and small skiing hill with ski lift. I would absolutely stay here again- and highly recommend for anyone with young kids looking to teach them to ski. Very very convenient. The hosts were available for questions and were friendly/flexible. Incredible customer service. We will be back!

Danny's home was perfectly set up to accommodate our 4 generation family get-away. The kitchen was well stocked. The bedrooms were large and had big closets that worked great for babies in pack n plays. The basement was a popular space for the younger ones. The house was in a quiet neighborhood located not too far from Camelback where we enjoyed the waterpark and skiing. We enjoyed seeing deer every time we drove through the golf course. Danny was quick to respond to questions. We would definitely come back again!

Fantastic time, host was very nice and helpful with getting us an early check in. Lots to do in the area, trails, lakes, beaches, hikes. 10/10

Our stay at Johnna’s cottage was wonderful! Even before our trip the hosts were responsive and welcoming and very helpful in planning our stay in the Poconos! We had a great time and felt right at home. The location was awesome - peaceful and right in nature but still within quick driving distance to our planned activities and local stores. We had a relaxing weekend thanks to the warm vibe of Johnna’s home and awesome backyard area and would definitely stay again!! :)

Wonderful stay on the Lake. One of the most true Airbnb listing I’ve stayed at. Clean and nicely set up. Brian was super nice and attentive during our stay!
