About this property

Welcome to our fantastic lake get-away. Nestled in the quaint community of Kingsley Lake, this is your home-away-from-home. The main house is three bedrooms and two baths with sofa beds and a sunroom with daybeds. Covered walkways will guide you to the cottage that sleeps 3 with a full bath. Everything has been fully renovated in 2013 and is completely modernized but still has the lake-life feel to engulf and totally relax you. In the house, just some of the things you will enjoy are Sleep Number Beds, 5 HD Direct TVs, WiFi, a deep-seated copper tub and true hardwood floors throughout. Enjoy fishing and boating year round, or just simply lounge in the hammock or porch gazing at the lake. Relax at several different sitting spots in the gardens surrounding the house to watch the Bald Eagles that are perching year round. If you are the fisherman, remember that over 14 lb largemouth bass have been caught in Kingsley Lake the last two years in a row. Bottom-line, must see the attached pictures to fully understand the beauty of this property.

WONDERFUL!!

Our family enjoyed 10 days at this beautiful home. Some in our group have vacationed on Kingsley Lake for over 60 years and it never disappoints! The Strickland's place made this year especially wonderful! This is not a "property" it is truly a home and you can relax just as if you are in your own! Everything you need to cook for a large family is there in the big kitchen with ample space for everyone to work or just hang out together! It is an easy walk to the water and there are stairs into the lake, not just a ladder! You will find everything is just like the pictures and the landscaping is beautiful! We DID catch fish right from the dock - even our five year old! We skied, wake surfed, tubed, floated, visited and had what everyone (ages: 5, 11, 12, 17, 18, 19, 35 37, 39, 39, 48, 52, 68, and 70) agreed was THE BEST! Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Dawn Strickland

My husband and I have been married over 20 years and met on Kingsley Lake. We have two teenage children and own several businesses and absolutely love gathering friends and family at the lake for making cherished memories. We have put our heart and soul in making this property unique and have a family warmth while enjoying all modern conveniences. We hope you enjoy this property as much as we do and continue making it a family get-away for years to come.

Why they chose this property

We decided on this property as soon as we walked through the door. Both of us learned how to swim at Kingsley Lake, and grew up knowing and understanding the beauty that this lake offered. Both sides of our family have deep seated roots in Bradford County and continue to reside on the lake and will always call Kingsley Lake their home.

What makes this property unique

Originally built in 1903, and subsequently added on, it had a warmth that could be felt instantly. As soon as you turn down the driveway and experience the canopy of trees, you will experience a tranquility that cannot be felt many places. You will feel like you are secluded from the hectic daily world and you will melt into your surroundings. Watching your loved ones gather around the fireplace, on the porches, on the docks and in the kitchen will make you fall in love with our home even more. Every year we host Thanksgiving and this year we had 84 people that we served - what a wonderful memory! We are confident that you will enjoy the comforts that only our home can give you.
