Beautiful Lake House with Dock

A wonderful and relaxing place to get away with the family or group of friends. It has an elevator for all 3 floors, jacuzzi, and balconies that give beautiful views of the lake and sunsets. Dock, grill and bar are included with the rental. The location is in a perfect spot on the lake to view the sunset, and is also a short walking distance to the restaurants/ bars in the area. This house can easily accommodate everyone, from people with physical handicaps (with the elevator) to children (we have rafts and small life vests available). It is a wonderful place for a group of friends or family to stay, or even have a corporate retreat. The house regularly sleeps 8 people, but 2 extra twin air mattresses or cots can be added in the larger rooms to sleep 10. We do charge an extra fee for groups over 10. The house has a SmartTV. The size of the house is a good size for group activities, but big enough (3,900 sq. feet) to give each person their own space to be alone and reflect. * Please not that we MUST collect a mandatory 5% local tax upon arrival, as Airbnb only collects occupancy tax. We appreciate your understanding. Thank you. Guests will have full access to the house, including kitchen, washer, dryer and games. Our guests are welcome to use our bicycles free of charge. We also have swimming towels for your use. Guests have full access to the dock that has a built-in flat top grill, beer tap, 2 refrigerators, stereo system, table and chairs. *We do not allow any glass or breakable dishes to be used on the dock, since this is a "barefoot area". There is both a pontoon boat and speed boat that may be hired with the driver if guests are interested. It is also possible to arrange for water skiing and tubing with the speed boat (and driver). The boat is especially nice for a sunset cruise or a tour of the lake. In-house massages and yoga classes with a certified therapist / teacher may also be arranged if requested in advance. I or one of my family members will meet you upon your arrival to give an orientation of the house and dock. There is an apartment attached to the bottom of the house (but separated from the main house) where one of our family members may be staying during your visit. You may feel free to call us with any questions or concerns during your stay. Harvey's Lake is a quiet place and tends to get busier during the weekends and holidays. Many people from the busier towns of Wilkes-Barre and Scranton areas have their vacation / second house here. There are a few restaurants / bars around the lake, 3 within walking distance. It's very relaxing to sit on the patio or read on the dock and sunbathe. You will probably want to spend much of your time on the dock, since it is where you can grill, drink, entertain, sunbathe, play music and swim. *The closest grocery / beer store is 5 miles away at Weis Market in Dallas, PA. You may want to go there before arriving at the lake house. Also the closest liquor store is next to Connor's Grillroom in Dallas. Since it is away from the busier towns, there isn't any public transit. The best way to get here is by car. There is ample parking for at least 7 cars at the lake house. *There may be waivers to be signed for things like boat rides and bicycles. *3 Day minimum stay required
