Magical 5BR Cabin, Steps to Lake & Pet-Friendly - 2 Kitchens and Living Rooms!

Whether you seek peace and solitude or lakeside fun, The Williwaw is your place to make memories. With a full kitchen, a lower level kitchenette, 2 fireplaces and 2 living areas, it's perfect for 1 or 2 families. 21,000 acres of state game lands are accessible from the backyard. The beach and dock area are just 1000 feet from the front door - close, but not so close that it ruins the solitude and quiet. Visit the many local attractions, then return to enjoy dinner among the trees on the large second story deck or roast marshmallows around a roaring fire under the stars.

If you've never heard the sounds of silence, winter at The Williwaw is the time for you. As the wind dislodges snowflakes from the trees, the early morning sun rises through the trees and makes each one shimmer like fairy dust. The crunch of snow underfoot is deafening and if you stand absolutely still, you can hear...nothing, just silence.

The Williwaw has three bedrooms on the second floor and two on the first floor. Upstairs, you will find one king bed and two queen size. All new, super comfortable mattresses with nice, crisp cotton sheets and tons of pillows to choose from. The black out curtains allow you to sleep in and enjoy your time away. Upstairs also features the full kitchen, dining room, a full bath with tub, and a living room with a gas fireplace.

If you need even more space, the downstairs features an office which has a pull out couch and a bunk room with a full over full bunk bed. There is a second full bathroom, a washer and dryer, a wet bar and mini fridge, a pool/poker/game table and a second full size living room with another fireplace.

The backyard features real wood Adirondack chairs and a firepit which can be enjoyed any time of year. We provide beach chairs and towels and the big lake beach and playground (Pines Lake) is just 1000 steps from the front door - a flat walk on a quiet street - close, but not too close to the hustle and bustle of the beach.

Our association also features a small ski hill and sledding hill with a T-Bar. The 900' drop is perfect for a relaxing family day with little ones or when you just don't want to fight the crowded hills at the several local ski resorts. Your rental includes 10 wristbands which grant you access to the amenities at Locust Lake, which include the lakes, ski and sledding hills, and any clubhouse events. Maybe you want to watch the game with a crowd or attend paint and sip - the office will have an updated schedule of events which you can check upon arrival.

REGISTRATION REQUIRED: Registration is done direction through the association website. Registration MUST be completed 2 days prior to arrival. Door codes cannot be issued until registration is received. At the time of registration you will receive an email receipt and a vehicle permit to print which allows you access to the association, amenities and trash compactor.

WRISTBANDS: We are in a gated community - so wristbands are required to be worn in common areas by all guests over the age of 12. Wristbands are located in the cabin and you should leave them when you check out. There is a $25 fee for each lost wristband. Thank you!

PLEASE NOTE: Maximum occupancy is 10 people, with a minimum renter age of 25. No exceptions. We do ask that occupancy is limited to 8 adults max plus children due to sleeping arrangements. Permit Number issued: 007140

Relaxing!

This rental was great, especially for two families. The owner's instructions for checking in and out were clear and easy to follow. The lake and surrounding area was very peaceful. I really LOVED all the hooks in this house- we had seven people and there was plenty of space to hang bath towels, beach towels, and bathing suits.

Family Vacation in the Poconos

We had a great stay! The house and Locust Lake Community were beautiful. It was a very short walk to the beach which had a playground, beach, and swimming. There were ten of us in the house with enough room for comfortable sleeping arrangements. The kitchen was fully stocked and there were even toys for the littles. The outside is great - especially as the nights cooled around the fire pit. We even saw a bear!! A lot to do off of Rt. 940 and we even made a trip to Knobles! I only docked a star for lack of air conditioning despite the listing, but I had been in touch with the owners regarding it. Great communication from Randyl and Chris throughout our stay.
