Independence Day in the Pocono Mountains is certainly one of the BEST Times to be in the Area. The pure site of the fireworks going off all day and night setting bright lights to the clear Mountain skies over the Glorious Mountainsides and Crystal Clear Lakes and Creeks. 4th of July is one of the most important times of our country, and we gather every year to celebrate the Spirit of America. Hawley Pa is located in the Wonderful Northeastern Pennsylvania Pocono Mountains, and it takes pride in its country on 4th of July. Come down this 4th of July, and make memories with family and friends on the shores of Lake Wallenpaupack. This celebration will include your favorite 4th of July Holiday foods and fun such as Sparklers, Hotdogs, Corn on the Cob, Picnics, and of course Fireworks! This event will have a local Pocono Mountain radio station sponsoring the event with great tunes. You will be able to tune into 105.3 Bolg Gold Media Classic Hits on your boat, in the stands, or in your car. This event will take place right next to The Wallenpaupack Area High School, and on the shores of Lake Wallenpaupack at approximately 9:15 PM. Parking will be available in the High School parking lot. Why not bring your loved ones to the Pocono Mountains this 4th of July, and have yourself a Perfect Pocono Celebration of America!

4th of July at Lake Wallenpaupack in the Pocono Mts in PA is a moving and patriotic experience. The high light of the holiday is always the fireworks display which are launched near the dam. They can be viewed from the high school bleachers, from the shore line, on the top of the dike, from the top of the mountain at Tanglewood ski slopes and, from your boat. It takes your breath away to see hundreds of boats anchored waiting for the show to begin. Some boats parade, showing their patriotism with flags. lights, and decorations in red, white, and blue.

As the sky line dims, the lights from all the boats reflect off the water. What a site to behold.

Area businesses contributed to give locals and tourists alike a spectacular fireworks show. The colors of each burst mirrored off the water. The sound of the booms echoed off the mountains. This year in particular, the fireworks were incredible. There was not only one finaly, there were 3 finalies. The crowd cheered, and the boat captains tooted their horns in appreciation.

I am already looking forward to attending next years show. Is it possible to out do the fireworks from this year? As we wait in anticipation, be sure to make arrangements to visit Lake Wallenpaupack for your 4th of July Holiday. Visit the dam and walk atop the dike. See you at the lake!!!'

Personal footnote; This year my husband and I invited his aunt and uncle to join us on the boat to view the fireworks. They have vacationed at the lake since 1952 and now are retired there. They agreed that this was the best fireworks that they had ever seen. "Unc" is 90 years young - that's a lot of memories.

Beautiful Weekend is HERE!

Counting down the minutes to LABOR DAY Weekend on the Paupack and thinking what a wide variety of weather we have experienced while showing homes here in the Pocono Mountains of Lake Wallenpaupack, Pennsylvania.   One day, get the rain gear on and don't take the gear off for 5 weeks to waking the next month with "Wow, the humidity slammed in" to now having clear blue days and cool nights.  I could not help thinking while going thru this crazy weather season showing homes to clients, if the house is not flooding or floating away or the home is keeping energy efficient with the fast weather change then you found your next home!  Don not wait, put the offer in and let us see where the final sale price will be agreed upon between you and the seller. 

If you see me out and about, come sit, will have drink ready. Looking towards the up coming months and can not help take notice of the current fixed rates for mortgages. 

Wishing all a Warm and Safe Labor day :o)

OKAY - you have been hoping to buy a house near Lake Wallenpaupack for some time. Maybe the amenity fees in places like Wallenpaupack Lake Estates (listings) worry you, especially after factoring in real estate taxes & renting a boat slip (WLE does have a marina but there is a waiting list for boat slips).

What to do? You'd love to have a vacation home but can't afford the other fees that come with it. THE MISSION IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE!

Have I got the perfect lake house for you - and it's only $109,900...and it's going to be OPEN Saturday March 28 from 11:00 - 1:00 p.m.

MAP - Right By Lake Wallenpaupack!!!

This cottage is ready to go - it's been freshly painted inside and has brand new carpet, too! Located less than a mile from the FREE public boat launch on Lake Wallenpaupack at Mangan Cove, it's in the most PERFECT location. The lot is spacious enough to allow you to park your boat when not in use - room to build a nice garage for just that purpose!

Click the picture for the VIRTUAL TOUR.

There are two bedrooms, large kitchen, dining area, one full bath, and a living room with a wood stove (hey, why not use the house in the winter too? It's not far at all from Tanglwood Ski Area, which had a banner 2008-2009 season!)

This home is ABSOLUTELY PRICED RIGHT for the bargain hunter. Close to town & shopping, but more importantly, super close to the BIG LAKE!

GUESS WHAT? DOUBLE WHAMMY tomorrow - not only will this cute little cottage be open but the house for sale next door is going to be available for viewing as well.

The blue house, 48 East Road, is significantly larger and has a terrific yard. My favorite component of this house is the AWESOME screened porch, and the deck has recently received a face lift. There are two bedrooms, one and a half baths - PLUS a full basement to finish for extra living space or to keep as a garage area. (My husband goes nuts over basements and garages, so I'm sure there are other guys like him out there who will start imagining great things for this house!)

At less than $150,000, it too is a terrific deal for someone who wants a vacation home close to Lake Wallenpaupack, without all the fees that come with having a home in a community.

On Sunday September 9, I'm going to be on Lake Wallenpaupack - at one of our newest lakefront listings, manning an open house (hmmm. If a female does it, it should be womanning, right?)

Anyway, I'm very excited to do this - I love being near the water, especially now since the summer has "slip-slided" away at an alarmingly fast rate...I can't think of a better place to hang out on a September Sunday afternoon!

This lakefront cabin for sale is ONE OF THE CHEAPEST ONES YOU CAN GET on Lake Wallenpaupack at $429,900.

Let me repeat - IT'S ONE OF THE CHEAPEST LAKEFRONT HOMES FOR SALE ON LAKE WALLENPAUPACK!

Lake Wallenpaupack lakefront property is always in demand - and as the rules of supply and demand teach us, when the demand goes up, so does the price. A lot of people are surprised at how valuable a lakefront home or cabin on Lake Wallenpaupack is!

OKAY, you missed the OPEN HOUSE, but you can still read all the specs here, and contact me for an appointment to see the cabin privately.
