This lake is awesome and allows NO motor boats. Pick from kayaks, sail boats, canoes, row boats, etc.
There is a pool, tennis courts and boats for rental. A short walk down the hill and we were at the beautiful Big Boulder Lake and lake club. We wanted a townhouse so we could accomodate two familes. My family and I stayed in the Blue Heron townhome section. Those units are a little bit more expensive to rent, but they have a better location (closer to activities) and the buildings themselves are a bit higher end.… Footnote: I stayed in the Blue Heron section with my parents as a teenager when the facility first opened in the early 1980s. Considering the prices (around $200/night for 5 people) and the location (easily accessible from NJ and PA), the Villages at Big Boulder Lake are a good option for a low-cost vacation. It wasn't disastrously bad, but it certainly didn't live up to the prices or the atmosphere. Unfortunately, the food was only fair, with most of the food we tried clearly reheated or packaged restaurant-supply (french fries, salsa, mozzerella sticks, etc.). It's a great location with a really nice building and a tempting menu. Also, a word on Boulder View Tavern adjacent to the lake facilities.

While this was definitely designed to be an outdoor vacation, the lack of any Wi-Fi and a 19" Tube TV complete with integral VCR gives a sense of the in-room amenities, at least in our unit. In fact, I'm reasonably sure the appliances were all from the original build out circa 1985. The furniture, decor, and especially the kitchen were all vintage. Could be Better: Our particular unit (number 195 in Midlake) was showing its age. The rest of the grounds are nice, with lots of small trails around the lake. It's very clean and supports a lot of wildlife (we saw a Bald Eagle perched on a tree near the dam). The lake itself is a great asset, with decent fishing (we caught largemouth bass, perch, and a bunch of other panfish). The staff at the lake were all extremely helpful, with special mention to Butch who was handling the boats on the days we were there. Between the trampoline float in the lake, pools, various boats, and the usual resort games (volleyball, ping-pong, etc.), the kids had plenty to do on nice days. The Good: The Lake Mountain Club was a great spot for the kids.
Overall, we were happy with the experience. We stayed in the Midlake Village (building E) for a short Summer getaway with three kids aged 8-11.
