While the rest of the world is burning hot this July, our wooded mountain cabin stays cool. At night, you may need long pants and might cuddle under our soft blankets. During the day, you'll take a short walk to 3 lakes and a heated outdoor pool & splash pad, basketball & tennis courts, playgrounds & clubhouse. Bring your bike, hike the surrounding state parks, or relax on the expansive deck and around the firepit. Anyway you enjoy the magical Pocono mountains, come stay with us!! Location: It's cooler here not just because of all the trees, but because of the elevation! New York and Philadelphia are 33 ft 39 ft above sea level, respectively. Our cabin is 1909 ft. above sea level!! Community: Our cabin is steps away from the heated outdoor pool, splash pad, tennis courts, basketball courts, playground, and a great restaurant/grill. The Clubhouse includes billiards, shuffleboard, and table tennis. Our cabin is a short walk from Big Bass Lake, a clean swimming and boating/fishing lake, the largest of our community's 3 lakes. It includes our 14 foot canoe, BBQ grills, and a playground right on the guarded beach. Larsen Lake is also nearby and offers a playground, tennis courts, basketball court, and BBQ grills by the beach. Family-friendly events, activities, and live music all summer long make it so that it's difficult to leave the community. Big Bass also boasts a large baseball/soccer field, bocce courts, and frisbee golf. In winter, a 5 min. drive to our Recreation Center offers an indoor pool and sauna, along with tubing hills. Cabin: Filled with light and original art, our cabin is calming. Featuring an expansive deck and a built-in firepit, our cabin is family friendly. Equipped with scooters, a tricycle, beach toys, basketball, and a game cabinet with games for young and old, our cabin is fun. We have a high chair, Pack N' Play, booster seat, and a changing pad for your little one. Our kitchen is fully stocked with cooking supplies and new appliances. On the deck is a Weber grill and sturdy modern patio furniture. From the deck you'll see every form of wildlife in the Poconos (except fish-you'll have to walk to the lake for that). Soft cotton linens and towels give our cabin a touch of luxury and strong internet and WiFi make it perfect for movie nights and remote working. In winter, our fireplace is easy to turn on and will keep you cozy, while it snows and snows and snows.... Guests enjoy the cabin and the large wooded lot on which it sits, and all of the amazing amenities at Big Bass lake. We are available by phone, text and email to answer questions or talk about the property. We love it here, and want you to have that same experience. Enjoy! Big Bass Lake Community Association is a private gated community in the woods. Walk to the beach at Big Bass Lake or Larsen Lake and enjoy a day of swimming, sailing, fishing and relaxing. Our house is 1 block to the outdoor pool and basketball and tennis courts, playground, clubhouse and restaurant/grill. Lake Natalie and the Community Recreation Center are a short ride away (bike or car). Lake Natalie is a tranquil fishing lake. The Recreation Center has the indoor pool, game room, sauna, gym, cafe, pool table, grand fireplace/lounge and two amazing snow tubing hills. Outside of the community, there is tons to do, here are some of our favorites: HIKING/BIKING/WALKING - Gouldsboro State Park (2 miles) - Pinchot State Forest (5 miles) - Tobyhanna State Park (main entrance 8.8 miles) - Promised Land State Park (18.6 miles) SKI/SNOWBOARD - Big Boulder Ski Resort (31.3 miles) - Jack Frost Ski Resort (23.9 miles) - Montage Mountain Ski Resort (20.3 miles) FAMILY FUN - Kalahari Indoor Water Park (16.3 miles) - Lahey Family Fun Park w. bumper boats, mini golf, batting cages, go karts (22.4 miles) - New York Yankees Minor League Baseball at PNC Field (19.2 miles) - Downtown Scranton w. aquarium, Steamtown National Historic Site and Trolley Museum, Everhart Art Museum, Houdini Museum, Coal Mine tour, McDade Park and more (16.8 miles) In the community, walk, run, bike, skate, or whatever makes you happy. To get around outside the community, you will need a car. AWD is strongly recommended during the winter season as there is lots of snow. Gouldsboro, PA, gets significantly more snow than any ski resort in the Poconos, as it is a few degrees colder than the rest of the region. It is our belief that Big Bass is the best community in the Poconos. The staff is friendly and the vibe is all peace all the time. We find ourselves renewed each time we stay by nature and this lovely cabin and we love sharing it with others. The memories you make here will stay with you forever!
