Womens trip

We all enjoyed our visit! Every morning we had a pair of black swans visit us while we had our coffee out on the deck. Pleasantly quiet and relaxing atmosphere.

Lovely stay

I was pleasantly surprised by the actual swans on swan lake. I thoroughly enjoyed this location. I wish I was aware in advance of the 1:00 check in rather than 4:00. Also I would like to have known in advance where the beach chairs and bicycles were located. We spent a lot of time searching for them. By the time I received a response to my text to the property owner we had already left for the beach with only our towels to sit on. Other than that it was a very lovely place to spend a vacation. Very relaxing.

Correct sans plus

Heureusement, l’hôte ( Joy) était compréhensive et proactive. La propreté des lieux laissait grandement à désirer. Plusieurs accommodements manquants ex: produits ménagers, savon à lave-vaisselle, savon pour les mains, mouchoirs, essuies-tout, lavette à vaisselle, bols à mélanger etc. Cependant le site est très paysible, à proximité de tout les services et les lits sont super confortable.

Lakeside stay

We really enjoy bird watching and being near water, so we selected this property for its proximity to Edwin B. Forsythe Wildlife Refuge, which is only 15 minutes from this property, as well as its lakeside location. The birding activity from the back deck was also an added bonus. We were lucky enough to see an osprey and a bald eagle, along with several different waterfowl and songbirds. We would definitely consider revisiting this property.

Great location, but lacking on the amenities

A truly beautiful location, but really lacking on the details and amenities. Towels smelled sour after one use, only one single trash bag was left on site for four people to use for three days. Our host left us fresh eggs, but there was no cooking oil or any butter to be found to cook them. We also couldn't find a lighter or matches to light the grill. We had to make a few store runs once we arrived because we didn't have several of the basics we needed for a three-day stay including napkins/papertowels of any sort. Incorrect wifi password details were sent to us via email. The bed in the master bedroom was incredibly uncomfortable and we really weren't clear on where to find the kayaks, paddleboards or other water-related items that were mentioned. The guest room TV did not work at all, nor did the remote and was missing a battery. Overall we enjoyed our stay, but for the price we paid to stay here, we were a little disappointed on how many details were missed. This felt a little more like camping vs. a tranquil stay at a lakefront home.

Delightful stay!

QUIET glamping resort, just what we wanted. Pet friendly and view of Swan Lake was awesome. Be sure to spend lots of time in the hammock chairs on the porch. We enjoyed kayaking on the lake and watching the resident goose and hummingbirds. There's a lovely short hiking trail behind the clubhouse. Plenty of deer ticks so wear your repellant. Kitchen was not quite fully stocked but it was not a hardship. We would stay there again. Thanks, Joy!

PARADISE HOUSE

Our family stayed at this house instead of staying in Atlantic City. It was our first visit to AC and we were very happy with our choice. The house and area is nice. We thought the lake was possibly a swimming lake but it was more a fishing lake. The walking paths were great. The house could use some more cooking items such as mixing bowls, baking sheets, etc. Joy was very helpful in helping us locate the house once we got to the resort. For us, it was a great alternative to staying in AC.

My stay was very quite. Just relaxing. My boys told me to " get away ". I did not hear from any of them ( I have 4 ) in three days. To be honest, I missed them a lot. LOL. But it did me good to get away and this was the perfect place. Very clean, comfortable and didn't need a thing. Thank you......Don E.

Lovely lake house

This was our second visit to Paradise House, and it was just as good the second time around! Thanks for providing such a lovely getaway. The beds are super comfortable (my kids love the adjustable features), and the whole place feels really cozy. The only snag was not being able to work the access box on the front door.

Not as Secluded as you think..

Property is " Secluded as in the woods" with about 50 Manufactured homes around. If your looking for no neighbors this is not it. It is in a Campground, also. This Manufactured home, the shower drains very slow and get luke warm and no pressure to the shower. The beds are lumpy and uncomfortable. Very quiet and peaceful, would stay again.

Wonderful vacation

Our rental was lakefront & beautiful. The house was very comfortable & had many amenities. Checking in & out was flawless. The Property Manager, Joy, even though we never met, was always available for questions with fast replies. The greatest part of our visit to Swan Lake was the residents of the resort. They were friendly & welcoming. We were met with smiles & waves and sometimes even a brief visit. The excellent & senic accommodations & the friendly, warm & enjoyable residents are what made this one of my most fantastic & memorable vacations.

This is a very clean little house next to other little houses in what is mainly an RV campground. The proximity to both Atlantic City and the beach worked out well with a car, but it was very difficult to get an uber to pick us up in the evening, and there was no place to go within biking distance.
