A secluded picturesque location on a lake surrounded by woods. It was a bit cold to fish but I would like to return in warmer weather to give that a try. It is close to Gouldsboro State Park which the host, Jerry, recommended. I enjoyed a 5 mile hike there and discovered it has one of the best bass fishing lakes in eastern PA. They have boat rentals during the summer.
I didn’t meet Jerry but he checked in by text and was available for any issues or questions.
It was just what I was looking for and I would recommended it especially if you want to camp without being crowded by neighbors.

We had an amazing weekend under the shade tree at Brendan’s. He was incredibly accommodating, and the land was beautiful from sunrise to sunset. It felt perfectly secluded yet still only 10 minutes from town. My only regret was not bringing my fishing pole!

Tent
With pets
I tent camped on Leo’s property for 4 nights with my dogs while we were attending a dog show in the area. The indoor bathroom was clean and perfect for warm showers. The wifi was perfect for being able to work remotely for a couple days, but I did need to be a bit closer to the house for it to load quick enough for my job. I felt very safe staying here. It is a very beautiful property too. My dogs loved being able to play in the pond in the afternoons. The only notable concern I will add for people staying with dogs, is that the property is right off of a fairly busy side road. Thankfully, my four dogs stayed pretty close to my tent and the pond because the driveway was fairly long and the treeline helped block the view of the road. But if your dogs do not have good reliable recall or are prone to following their noses and turning their listening ears off, it would be best to have them on a tie out or long line and watch them very closely so they don’t wander onto the road and risk getting hurt.

I stayed at this site for one night, and I enjoyed my stay!
The location was easy to find (using Google Maps), and was right off I-84, which made the travel convenient (from NJ).
The place was clean, and had all the amenities I could ask for, such as Electricy Outlet, Water, access to bathroom, WIFI, firepit, multiple benches, table /w lots of chairs and so on.
The pond was stocked with fish, and was the place I spent most of my time at.
I would definately be revisiting soon!

Peaceful night, just a little traffic noise. Pretty pond and picnic area, but there is no post with utilities at the pond as shown in photos. We had to park right by the host's house. I met the host for a minute when he directed us into the drive. His listing says no physical address, so we ended up going past his driveway. There is a mailbox with a number in front of the driveway. The driveway is right after turning onto his road. Good for a night's stop, but not very private for a camping trip.

We had a great stay at The Pond! We only stayed one night on a long road trip, but it was close to the highway, which made it convenient for a travel day! Having access to a toilet and clean shower was an amazing perk! We have a large tent and had plenty of space to set it up near the pond. Our dogs also enjoyed walking the path around the pond. Overall, great stay!

Brendan's land is beautiful. If you're looking to enjoy nature, the beauty of the animals that live among it and Brendan's working farm, this is the place!!! His goats and chickens were a short walk away and worth the smiles they provide. The views of the pastures and mountains were a great backdrop for the end of one day and start of another and if you're looking for walks or hikes, there is plenty of land and numerous trails within 10 minute drive.
Brendan was very accommodating and very welcoming. The bathroom he provides on the property was also appreciated, nothing like a nice shower after a full day of activities. This was one of the best experiences..... definitely going back!!!
