Had a great time at the house! The tennis court, pool, and house were all in great condition and as pictured. We used the tennis court a lot which was in good shape. The house is spacious and we had no problem fitting 12 people. No one had to sleep on the sofa beds which didn't feel as comfortable when sitting on them. Communication with the host was great as well. Thanks and hope to be back!

Perfect Getaway with Family

Shamir's property was just what we were looking for. A house with a beautiful pool and enough space to accommodate our family of 12 comfortably which it succeeded. We had children with us and the fact that it had an area with farm animals and playground was a bonus. The pool was beautifully maintained and the house was clean and the rooms were spacious.

Great location

We attended a wedding at Bear Creek and stayed here with our family. Fantastic location, less than a mile from the facility. Great house. Very clean and plenty of space for everyone to get ready. The farm caretaker was very friendly and showed the kids around the animals which was a great treat. Would recommend anyone attending an event at Bear Crewk stay here

Amazing Stay!!

We had the best time on this property! We were three families (6 adults, 6 kids) looking for an isolated get away, and this house was perfect. Between gathering eggs from the chickens, playing tennis, swing set, and smores, there was plenty to do! My kids still keep asking if we can go back on vacation! We ventured off the property for ice cream at Tranquility Farm, which has amazing sunflowers and fields to walk around in, and went horseback riding nearby one day. Thank you for providing us with a much needed getaway!

Beautiful stay

This property has its all. Huge place to enjoy activities on grass, little playground for kids, tennis court, farm, firepit and plenty of shades during hot days. Pool was great too, wish it had heated option because it was very cold, pool vacuum didnt work to clean it. Inside the house had plenty of rooms and space to enjoy. One of the tvs volume didnt work; and very slow wifi. I would recommend some deep cleaning. Overall it was an amazing stay.

Great for a group of families

The house was so much bigger than I had imagined. Shamiur answered the many questions I had prior to arrival and made the check in process simple. We had difficulty with the TV and getting service on our phones which generally wouldn't bother me but it was New Years so we were trying to watch the ball drop. Finally worked but was fuzzy and went in and out. The kids were happy with the movies and DVD selection. The backyard and amount of space would be perfect in the summer - we enjoyed seeing the animals as well! Thank you Shamiur!

great house for a big get together!

This house was great. Our group consisted of old friend and our families. We wanted a place where we could all get tighter – we did not care too much about what was around since our goal was spending time together (which was a good thing since this house is in the middle of nowhere!). The house is great and HUGE and just a little bit old. The space is great, tons of room and despite really cold temperatures while we were there, the heat was working great! The hot water however was a bit inconsistent and took forever to get hot (especially in the upstairs bathrooms). The beds have super comfy memory foam mattresses and we loved them! Also, all of the bedrooms have extra beds/futons/sofa beds, which was super convenient for all the kids. 2 things that could use improvement: one is the door to the outside in the living room. The handle is broken and the door swings open. I saw another reviewer comment on this so I am wondering why this has not been fixed yet since it was pretty annoying and made the place freezing cold if something was not placed in front of the door to keep it closed. The other thing was randomly the fire alarms went off (and kept going off) during the day. This scared the kids and was really disruptive. Overall, we loved our stay and would definitely plan another weekend here (maybe in the summer so we can enjoy the pool!). Also, the vicious guard dogs are so adorable, we wished we could play with them!

Overall, our stay was beautiful and the home was well-suited to our group size. The pool and house were very clean, the layout was open and inviting, the kitchen was spacious, and we enjoyed using the fire pit on several evenings.A few areas could be improved: the check-in instructions were sent later than expected, the basement had a persistent odor due to limited airflow, and the outdoor hammock advertised was not available, which was disappointing.That said, we still had a wonderful time and appreciated the accommodations!

The house is well maintained, spacious and very comfortable for a large group. Communications with the owner were excellent, informative, and responsive. We had a family group of 9 adults and two children spanning 4 generations who were attending a wedding nearby. This house was perfect for us.

What a great weekend! We had a large group of 16 friends for an annual golf outing. This property offered enough space for our group that everyone had a bed or a futon. We did not feel confined as this house had plenty of space between the 3 floors. The indoor kitchen and outdoor grill were perfect for large scale meal prep and dining. We enjoyed the pool and fire pit every evening, too. Plenty of golf courses in the area, as well. Everything was very clean! We would easily book this for a future trip again. Thanks to the hosts and team that runs this place. Great job with the property!

Great Spot for Family Getaway

We had 11 family members stay comfortably at this house for our Thanksgiving holiday. Shamiur was a great host and was there when we arrived on Wednesday. We didn't run into any subsequent issues but have no doubt he would have been responsive if we had run into any trouble. The kids loved the outdoor space, visiting the farm animals, and building "camp" fires at night. The house had a few quirks - one of the doors in the living/rec room doesn't latch properly, so it would blow at night and leave the downstairs quite cold if you didn't put a chair or something in front of it, but overall it was great.

Modern Farmhouse in Newton, NJ

We had the best time at this awesome property! We rented it for a small family reunion (14 people aged 21-64 yrs old), and we all had a blast. The house is old-school with nothing fancy, but it's big and had everything we needed. The property is beautiful and we all enjoyed the farm animals. Where else can you collect your own fresh eggs for breakfast?! The location allowed us to conveniently go rafting, hiking, and spend a day in NYC. I can't say enough good things about the host, either. He was responsive and accommodating. He even did us a favor after we left! I would definitely rent the property again.
