If you need a space to check email or work (we hope you don’t have to do too much of that!!), we have a beautiful sycamore desk – cut from the same sycamore tree as the dining table. The lower level of the home is the place to bring out your inner child with a mix of adulting! There is a lounge area perfect for movie nights, a wet bar, pool table, card table, and a plethora of board games to choose from. Oh yeah, don’t forget to engage in some family-friendly competition to see who can get the high score in the classic arcade game Ms Pacman! You even have lake views from the game room! Exit the game room through two sets of double sliding glass doors and step onto the covered patio, featuring a relaxing hot tub that creates a seamless transition between indoor/outdoor living spaces. It is also the perfect spot to enjoy a summer rainstorm. On sunny days, this space provides shade and serves as the ultimate transition to the huge yard, which is unique among other homes in the community. The yard has a horseshoe pit and plenty of room to play corn hole and badminton, or volleyball. Families have been seen here enjoying a game of whiffle ball, tossing a frisbee, and enjoying a game of catch. And may we suggest that you bring some apples and carrots – deer visit all the time! The deer enjoy meeting our guests and look forward to getting special treats! We have been coming to Towamensing Trails and the Poconos for many years. There is so much to do and see, no matter the season. We love it here!! We hope you’ll enjoy staying at our LakeView Retreat as much as we do!
