Welcome to the cabins at Lake Wallenpaupac!
My brother-in-law Chris is a co-owner of this property with a couple of his friends. My sister Kathy and her husband Joe, their son Trevor, my daughter Sarah and I have been coming here for many years. We have been fortunate to have a great many friends who have joined us over those years. Most come back :) Some have even rented it on their own. There are three cabins with enough beds to fit 25 people. It’s been my go-to place for many years to get my head right.
If you’re undecided or interested, below the pictures is some information of which you really want to be aware. Please do yourself a favor and make sure to read through it all.
If you’ve been here and you have any pictures to put up, by all means send them to me.
Some of the people you’ll see in some of the pictures and a few more who have been up are: Steve and Rochelle Pripstein, Mike White and his family, Brian O’Connell and his family, Chris Reinbeck, Lisa Povlow, Lisa Durey, Lou and Louisa Gonzalez, Billy Rimberg, Karen Coigne, Kathy and Joe Yates, Steve and Dee Dee Jones, Rebecca Cooper, Book Bob, Larry Brinkman and his son Ryan with Taylor, Vicki and Adam Zucal and many more.

This isn’t like checking into a hotel so please be prepared by reading ALL of the following :)
Get there any time after 2:00 on Friday July 12th – leave any time up til Friday July 19th by 12:00 PM.
By invitation only. If you are invited and would like to bring someone, please talk to me. No children or barking/yappy dogs please :)
This is kinda like roughing it in a cabin, but with baths, showers, and kitchens :-) If you’re a four star hotel only person, this might not be for you. For many, not having to be a clean freak is part of the appeal.
There are 3 cabins. They are “rustic”, and have small bedrooms and beds. The rooms are just somewhere to sleep.
Cabin one is at the top. It has 2 kitchens, 2 baths, and sleeps 13. 3 rooms with double beds; 2 rooms with single beds. 1 room with a double bunk (one on top of the other). 1 room with a single and a double bunk.
Cabin 2 – the middle cabin – has the largest kitchen, a bath and a half, and sleeps 9. 1 double, 1 single, and 2 br’s with double bunks.
Cabin 3 has a kitchen, a bath, and sleeps 4. 1 room has a double bed, and one room has a double bunk.
There are couches too, and plenty of places to pitch a tent if you’re so inclined.
You need to bring your own sheets, blankets, pillows, and pillow cases. Sarah and I bring a sleeping bag and our own pillows.
You will want to bring at least one fan for your bedroom. If you have an extra for the common rooms please let me know and it will be greatly appreciated by all.
Even though it will be July, it may or may not be a little cool at night. Bring warm clothes accordingly.
NO TUXES OR EVENING GOWNS! Point being – it’s in the woods. You will be on dusty dirty trails frequently. You will be sitting on a dock, and maybe getting wet. It’s dirty up there. White is not generally a good idea if you get my drift.
There are no air conditioners or fans. It’s generally cool enough, as it is on the lake.
Bring your own towels, wash cloths, soap, toilet paper, shampoo, toiletries, etc.
There is no dishwasher.
There are varying selections of kitchenware in each cabin. If you like to cook, and want to treat your friends to something special, you should bring what you need to cook it in and cut it with.
Munchies of any persuasion will be appreciated by all, especially for the first day. You can respond with what you are going to bring on the eVite.
Bring your own food and alcohol. Do not assume there will be anything as far as what you need for recipes.
ROOMS ARE FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED. THE ONLY EXCEPTION IS THAT YOU MUST BE A COUPLE TO TAKE A ROOM WITH A DOUBLE BED.
There will be two double and queen size beds available to accommodate couples. The rest of the couples will have to sleep in separate beds but not bedrooms. The cabins sleep 25 in beds.
There is no beach, but many people like to hang out on the dock or the cliffs in the sun, and you can go swimming from there.
There are watercraft rentals nearby
If you play a musical instrument, PLEASE by all means bring it! The campfires have heard many!
There is a place to play horseshoes set up with stakes and shoes. They’re not pits, but that’s where we play.
There is a supermarket, liquor store, and beer distributor within 10 minutes by car.
Directions are as follows:
There is no address for a GPS destination for the cabins themselves, but if you search for “Gumble Brothers Inc” it will come up. It’s just down the road. You’re looking for a Red Street sign that says “Fox Run”. If you passed it, you went too far.
The following directions may not seem too good, but they’ve served many people for many years. If you end up needing help – call me on my cell at 215.813.2495.
Halterman cabins at Lake Wallenpaupac – 611N -> 22W in Bethlehem -> 33N -> 80W -> Scott Run Exit onto 611N (not the first 611N exit) -> 196 (there is no direction on the sign) -> 423N -> 191N -> 507N. After getting onto 507N you will underpass 84. From there it is 10 miles on left. You will passed “AJ”s on the right before you come to the driveway. You will be making your left turn into the driveway that has a red street sign that says “Fox Run” at the end of the driveway. If you miss the driveway and pass it, you will see “Gumble Brothers Construction” on the left, and you’ve gone too far.
Go down the paved driveway and look for a sign on a tree on the right that says “Halterman”. Make a right onto that dirt road. Please watch carefully for this sign. PLEASE DO NOT GO STRAIGHT AND DOWN TO THE McMANSION. They are quite unpleasant people. After you make your right at the Halterman sign, as you’re getting to the end, bear to the left and you will see a cabin straight ahead. The parking is fairly adequate, but there are going to be at least 10 cars, so please park considerately.
For GPS, use Gumble Bothers Inc in Google maps and that will put you next to our driveway.
