Lakefront Sunsets | Hot Tub | Pool Table | Sunset Views | Wet Bar | Kayaks, Canoe

Welcome to The Sunset Sanctuary!

A New York City architect designed our custom-built waterfront luxury chalet with the lake and mountain views in mind. You will notice our concept was created by bringing nature inside with the architectural bamboo stairway and flooring, rustic wood mantel and posts, pine ceiling planks, floor to ceiling stone fireplace and glass as well as a granite countertop bar.


Enjoy ultimate privacy with a distance from the neighbors and the state game lands across the street. Private keyless entry. Please note that our team is available 24/7 to ensure your ultimate experience.

Located directly on a serene, 310-acre private lake in the Pocono Mountains that is fed by natural springs and offers a delightful environment for fishing and breathtaking scenery. The area is surrounded by state game lands and water conservation areas, providing a contrasting experience that is peaceful and calming. The lake's tranquil waters are encircled by trees and generational private residences.

Indulge in swimming, power boating, water skiing, tubing, canoeing, and kayaking along the four-mile shoreline. The lake's varying depths and underwater structures make it a paradise for anglers, offering opportunities to catch smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, pickerel, perch, catfish, crappie, bluegills, and sunfish.

Located a short walk down the street is another lake house for 6 people and a 3rd lake house for 8. If interested in renting more than one, please inquire. Private keyless entry. Our team is available 24/7 to ensure your ultimate experience.


Guests have access to the entire home and property with the exception of:
-1 locked closet on each level (upstairs bedroom, hallway on main level, and under the stairs in the basement)
-2 garages on site (one attached, and one stand-alone)

Three levels featuring high ceilings, elegant fixtures, modern art, and cozy furniture to lounge on while you enjoy the lake view from every room.

Luxurious open floor plan. You will enter the house into a large living room with a floor to ceiling stone fireplace, 75" tv, dining room table for 8, chef’s kitchen, Modani leather sectional and big windows overlooking sunsets on the lake.

Just off the main area is a full bathroom with a walk-in shower and 2 vaulted bedrooms down the hall. One bedroom has a full size bed and a lofted queen bed. The other room is an oversized bedroom with a king bed, a working space, and a skylight to view eagles soaring by as you unwind. The work from home space includes a motorized standing desk, ergonomic chair, monitor, and high speed wi-fi.

The kitchen is stocked with All Clad pots & pans, ice machine, and all of the essentials you need to prepare a delicious meal for your family (also included is basic spices, and oils).

A large deck stretching the length of the house is accessed through the 2 sliders on the main room and both bedrooms. The upper deck includes a Modani outdoor sectional & dining table for 8, and a Saber infrared propane grill.

The main bedroom ensuite is the entire upper level with drastic vaulted ceilings, a king bed, and a row of windows with blinds to view the lake as you wake up refreshed. Attached is a full bathroom with a custom walk-in shower including plenty of space and 2 shower heads.

The lower level is designed to entertain with radiant heat throughout the floors to stay cozy in the winter, a wet bar with granite countertops, Olhausen live edge pool table, built-in speakers with a subwoofer, 55" smart tv, leather Italian couch + lounge chair, and Philips Hue color changing lights.

A full bathroom with a tub and a laundry area are in the hallway just past the wet bar.

The lower level sliding glass door opens to a large lower patio including a 6 Person - Tropic Sea Spas RIO Spa, dining table, cocktail table and nearby access to an outdoor firepit with views of the lake.

Return to Lake Henry
We have spent 40 years vacationing on Lake Henry with the exception of four summers when our travels took us on other adventures around the country and abroad. But, no matter what new vistas we experienced Lake Henry is our absolute favorite getaway in the world. This summer was no exception when we enjoyed everything THE SUNSET SANCTUARY had to offer. A beautiful house, lacking nothing for our comfort and pleasure. The view of Lake Henry from the house or dock is the best for this gem of a private lake. The sad part was having to leave Shag-gri-La. But, in the words of MacArthur, "We shall return." Again and again, we hope. RS & family.

Lovely place on the lake. Plenty of room for 6 of us. Enjoyed daily kayaking, swimming in the lake and most of all the peace and quiet. The house was clean and had everything we needed including basic necessities. The owners were informative, attentive and thoughtful including local recs and a basket of goodies at check in. We wouldn’t hesitate to return!

Our Anniversary getaway
I will start out by saying how sweet our host Christianne was; she answered all of our questions very fast. Also accommodated our needs in the house we stayed in by adding baby proofing needs which helped us immensely so we didn't have to bring a travel crib! The house and views were stunning and made our little anniversary getaway a time to remember. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Amazing Quiet and Comfortable Family Spot
Stayed with our 4 kids (3-14) and had a blast!!! Check in and communication with host beforehand were great and the host was very responsive!! Brought our own boat and had so much fun cruising the lake and catching lots of fish!! We enjoyed the hot tub, pool table, and the open spaces so we could all enjoy each other. The lake was very quiet and had a small town kinda feel. The house was very clean and had all the necessities as well as ample stuff for the kids—crib, games, baby gates etc…stores for incidentals were readily accessible too!! Would def come back again…wonderful time!!!

Perfectly Relaxing & Rejuvenating
A wonderful, peaceful, refreshing week! Our favorite thing was taking chairs out on the dock to watch wildlife first thing in the morning and the last thing at night. We also enjoyed using the fire pit for roasting hot dogs and marshmallows. The owner thoughtfully provided a large stack of covered wood, as well a nicely stocked kitchen. The house was clean, comfortable and well situated. Communication was great and helpful information was much appreciated. Thank you!

Friend celebrating a friend's birthday at this gorgeous house. Private yet close to everything we needed. The kitchen was well appointed and we used the fireplace and the fire pit. Plenty of space for more than 3 women. Our host could not have been more accommodating, including mailing back an item we left behind. 10 stars just for her!!! We hope to go back again soon!

Absolutely Perfect!
We had a perfect stay. The communication and assistance from Christianne and Chase was second-to-none. The home was spotlessly clean, and they don't use the plug-in "air fresheners" that instantly ruin a stay for me. That's because everything actually IS clean! The beds were really comfy, and every room has its own mini-split air conditioner, so you can have your environment just the way you like it. And of course, the lake and the surroundings are gorgeous. But most important to me was the examplary communication with the hosts. That's SO important to me when I book a property, and they do everything perfectly. I would absolutely stay in their beautiful home again. Sheer perfection!

Perfect place to make memories
Lake house was clean and beautiful with a wonderful view of the lake. We made some very nice memories with our family with game night during a stormy evening to relaxing on the peaceful lake during the day with our pool floats and exploring the lake with the canoes provided. Dogs loved the lake as well! House very well equipped with all your cooking needs! Grocery store was close as well as a couple of restaurants if looking to order or eat out.

This property was just as pictured...amazing! We had a fabulous stay at this lake front property and plan to return. This quiet lake was perfect for kayaking, boating, & fishing.Our host provided several little perks from a goodie basket upon arrival to travel size toothpaste, deodorant, and more which was a very nice touch! My family enjoyed the pool table and big screen TV during the evening and I enjoyed taking in the sounds of nature from the well maintained dock. Our 2 dogs enjoyed their stay also.

Our family of 4 spent a week at this lakehouse. The house is comfortable and beautifully decorated, in addition to being very clean and well organized. We enjoyed the views of the lake and beautiful sunsets from the house and on the dock. Fishing was good, we caught pickerel, bass, crappy, and sunfish.
