This was a very nice place to stay. Beautiful views to compliment your morning coffee and close to the attractions when you are ready to head out. The host supplied everything that was necessary and then some. If the opportunity were to come up again to visit the area this would be a first choice.

Charming rental - the layout, amenities and communication with the host were excellent! The weather didn’t permit as much hiking as we normally do, but the view from the swing on the covered porch made up for whatever the weather restricted!

What a wonderful property! The stay was excellent and so was the owner. She was in contact with us throughout and made sure that we were getting the most out of our stay. The property was very clean and well appointed. You will LOVE having coffee on the back porch swing watching the sun come up over the mountains. Located very close to Luray Caverns and Skyline drive. Both were very enjoyable. We plan on coming back again for sure.

Felt like home

Property was clean and updated. Felt like home with the decor and absolutely loved the screened in porch and over-sized porch swing. Communication was great if we had any questions or recommendations. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again.

Best place to be snowed in

This was a perfect retreat. Access easy to Shenandoah NP and Shenandoah River SP. We chose the property based on the promised view and were not disappointed! Sunrise was phenomenal as was watching the snowstorm come over the mountain... You look out over a pasture toward the Stony Man area of Shenandoah mtns in the distance. Closer to, the birdfeeders kept the yard view lively. The home is completely unique, cozy, and clearly made with a lot of care and modern taste. Giovannella was helpful, welcoming and well prepared.

The Little Cozy House is just that...

Super cozy with a great atmosphere. The fire pit was really nice and the solar powered outdoor lights around the property were just magical. We saw deer and hummingbirds as well which was wonderful. It was only abot a 6 minutes walk to the lake as well which was great. Overall, it was a wonderful time! Highly recommend!

Relaxing Retreat

The Little House was the perfect retreat for some much needed rest and relaxation. It was dog friendly with a great backyard and awesome screened porch. It is also close to great trails to hike and located in a safe gated community. Giovannella was a great host , very thorough, welcoming , and attentive. The care and love for the Little House can be felt all around.

Long weekend getaway

We stayed at the Little House for a long weekend. My husband and I own a dog walking business and also hold 2 full time jobs. Needless to say, we needed a break! This house was the perfect relaxing weekend getaway we needed! The owner, Giovannella, is the most WONDERFUL person to correspond with. She wrote back immediately and answered my questions with kindness and consideration. She made our stay a memorable one and we will be back! Thank you Giovannella <3

Pocono Getaway

This is our second visit to this wonderful home. We enjoyed our stay both times! The home is inviting, clean, cozy, a short walk to the the lake, and very relaxing. If I could give the host Giovannella 10 stars I would. She is by far the most genuinely kind and caring person we know! She checked in daily to see if we were enjoying our stay and if we needed anything. She even asked if we wanted to stay beyond the normal check out time. We will be back, for sure! Thank you Giovannella from the bottom of our hearts! Cathy, Anthony and Teddy

Great small place for a family or a couple

Great small place for a vacation. House sleeps 6, as long as 2 of them are either relatively young children, or else very friendly, because that 3rd bed is small. House is well equipped with dishes and utensils in the kitchen, owner even leaves some spices (limited, but covers the basics) and cooking oils and sprays, TV has cable, DVD player, and Amazon Fire Stick for entertainment. One note, the house comes with feather pillows, so if you have allergies, or just don't care for feather pillows, then you should bring your own. It was just me, my wife, and our dog, so there was plenty of room for us, but the house would probably feel a bit crowded with 6 people, although probably less so in the warmer seasons when you could hang out on the screened porch, which is a pretty good sized space, roughly 10 by 17 or 18. We enjoyed our long weekend there, and would definitely consider staying there again, possibly in the summer when the pools, beach, lake, etc are open, there are plenty of things to do in the summer months in the community. Location is near several state parks, outlet shopping, Jim Thorpe, Stroudsburg and Jack Frost/Big Boulder ski resorts, so plenty to do in the area outside the community as well. Owner communication was timely, and she always answered all our questions, she even left us a bottle of wine to enjoy while we were there, which was a nice touch, although I don't know if that is something she always does. There was also coffee in the house, so no need to bring any.

A well made home in the heart of Shenandoah Valley with a great host

My friends and I spent the weekend at this property. Giovannella has good taste and you can see it in every tiny detail about this property. She was extremely helpful with tips and information right from the time I made the booking. She was also very prompt with her responses every time I had questions or requests. We made great memories from our stay here. I highly recommend it. My only regret is not staying longer.

Fabulous Find

Gianella's home is beautiful. It checked all of the boxes for us. I would not hesitate to stay there again. Our family is actually trying to decide when we should come down again. She was a very sweet and attentive host. She made sure we had everything we needed. The cherry on the top was the view and that bottle of wine she left welcoming us. Thank you Gianella!

Cozy weekend

We had such a lovely time at the Little House! Our weekend away ended up being a little rainy, but even without being able to use the outdoor amenities it was perfect. Giovanella gave great suggestions for things to do in the area and we had a beautiful hike in Hickory Run State Park. Coming back to the adorable, cozy, and warm space after a cold rainy hike was just perfect! We spent our evenings with the fireplace on, sipping wine, playing games, and reading. Perfect place for a weekend retreat.

Peaceful & comfortable, and a porch swing!

Arrowhead lake itself is quite lovely, and our stay at this cabin was a wonderful break. Overall, the property is charming and has everything you need for a comfortable stay: full kitchen, dining room, etc. the WiFi worked well. The water pressure in the shower is better than what I have at home! The beds were very comfortable, and the neighborhood is quiet, so we slept really well. The furnishings are a bit dated, but everything was clean and functional. We especially enjoyed the fireplace in the living room… it adds to the cozy cabin feeling on those crisp fall evenings. There aren’t a ton of restaurants nearby, so we were glad for the full size appliances in the kitchen, and mostly prepared all our meals at the cabin. When the weather was nice, we opted to eat at the table on the screened-in porch so we could enjoy the fresh air. This cabin itself does not have water views, but is an easy walk to one of the beach areas, which has a small playground area, picnic tables, and a nice sandy beach. Giovanella is a thoughtful and attentive host, providing clear communication well ahead of check in, and again before checkout. She’s quick to respond to any inquiries and was helpful during our stay.

Lovely, cozy stay for my son and I

My young Autistic son and I were looking for a quiet getaway where we could have a couple days just the 2 of us, after his older brother had a trip to the much-too-overwhelming Disneyworld. The cabin was perfect! In 2 days we roasted marshmallows and hot dogs, spent time at the pool (the island pool with water features and the surrounding lake, as well as concessions, is FAR superior to the others, which are simply big rectangles), sat in the hammock, and relaxed on the screened-in-porch while a huge thunderstorm rolled around us. We did have an issue with the water heater needing to be fixed while we were there, and it was uncomfortable having workman around, but Giovanni comped us with a bottle of wine and late check-out, and it was just one of those things we had to roll with. Great spot for a very small family or girl’s trip!

Nice vacation home for a relaxing weekend away

Overall, we had a pleasant experience. The house had all the amenities for a relaxing weekend away. The beach on the lake was about a 5 minute walk from the house which was nice. If you do plan on staying here, just know that the water pressure isn’t the greatest. Also, Giovannella does send a lot of emails and wants you to respond promptly. She cares a lot about her property and wants your stay to be pleasant. Thank you Giovannella for a wonderful girls trip.
