Cedar-paneled walls and stone fireplace upstairs. This is a premier vacation home in a premier Pocono Community.

What we HAVE: a comfortable, spacious vacation home in a rustic, forested community with extensive on-site amenities and nearby attractions. What we DON'T have: bright lights, loud neighbors, heavy traffic, pollution.

This raised ranch is within walking distance of the Clubhouse and outdoor pool (summers only), less than a mile from the Big Bass Lake beach and marina, and about two miles from the Recreation Center, indoor pool and ski area. It is ideal for one-and-two-family vacations, small reunions, retreats, or business/vacation getaways. Here, your worries will vanish and your dreams will soar!

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). It features 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 beginning 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 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 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.
