Rental Info

 

"FLEX SCHEDULING" is offered on all four of our Big Bass Lake properties. This means that you can rent for a week or more starting ANY DAY of the week, for a weekend arriving FRIDAY or SATURDAY, or for a MIDWEEK RENTAL of two, three, four or five nights, or ANY COMBINATION of the above. In other words, YOUR SCHEDULE, not our convenience, dictates when you arrive and depart.

"PACK LIGHT VACATIONS" means that all you need to bring is your clothing, personal items, and something to eat. WE PROVIDE bed linens (beds made up), towels, dishes, glassware, pots and pans, utensils, paper towels, toilet tissue, facial tissue, paper napkins, bath soap, soft-soap, dishwasher detergent, dishwashing liquid, scouring pads, laundry detergent, fabric softener, trash bags, plastic wrap, aluminum foil, salt, pepper, sugar, firewood, kindling, matches, flashlights, extra light bulbs, fans, two propane tanks for the grill, and - if needed - portacribs and high chairs.

Why can we do this? BECAUSE WE LIVE HERE AND MANAGE OUR OWN PROPERTIES. We are not bound by the schedule of a rental agent or by the limitations faced by an absentee owner. And because we do not have to pay 25% to 31% to a rental agent, we can give you extra value

Description (back to top)

BOOK NOW FOR SUMMER AND FAll

VACATION THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY...without the "Vacation Industry." Turn your back on the bright lights, constant noise, and tacky trimmings of tourist traps. Instead, unwind at "Renaissance Beach," a simple but well-appointed home in a place where YOU control your schedule. This is a clean, wholesome environment in a rural, wooded setting. It's quiet here, and we let it get dark at night! When was the last time you went star-gazing?

This house looks small but lives big. Comfortably accommodates up to six for family vacations, or for fishing, hunting or skiing getaways. It's a two-minute stroll to the beach (opens for swimming weekends beginning Memorial Day weekend, daily from June 18 through Labor Day). Air-conditioned (window unit) for added comfort.

Big Bass Lake is a secure, upscale, private community in quaint, historic Gouldsboro, built around three pristine lakes popular for swimming, fishing, and boating (no gas motors). Our boats are available for your use. There are two beaches, indoor and outdoor heated swimming pools, courts for tennis, basketball, horseshoes, shuffleboard, and bocce, a recreation center with activities for all ages, a slope for beginner skiing and snow tubing, and much more... all on site. Deer, wild turkey, birds, and waterfowl abound. And, within a 30-minute drive you will find the prime attractions of the scenic Pocono Mountains, Pennsylvania's vacation paradise.

BIG BASS LAKE IS A 4-SEASON VACATION COMMUNITY. In the fall, visitors enjoy spectacular foliage (usually best Sept. 20-Oct.20), hiking and biking, fishing, hunting, and excursions to local attractions. This is probably the best season to enjoy tens of thousands of acres of state parks and gamelands accessible within less than 10 miles of Big Bass Lake. Winter enthusiasts find this a prime area for skiing, snow-boarding, tubing, cross country skiing, ice-fishing, and hunting; there's usually lots of snow. Spring is for those who like surprises, as it can seem like winter one day, sunny and warm the next. And summer is delightful: warm days for water sports and other outdoor activities, cool nights for refreshing sleep.
