About this property

Family & Pet Retreat-2 Amazing Game Rooms-FencedYd-Pool-Beach-JimThorpe-Speedway

Thank you for considering My Vacation Property Rental (MVP Rental) for your upcoming trip to the Poconos. This was my family home until it was converted to a vacation property in 2023. I have owned and been hosting people at homes in this resort community since 2011. Over the years, across multiple properties, I have managed thousands of reservations and have gained the expertise to offer a relaxing retreat for both you and your pets.

Having multiple game rooms, a theater room area, multiple seating areas, TVs in all rooms, and large deck, there are spaces for everyone. Pet lovers will appreciate the fully fenced backyard which provides a safe space for dogs to play. The wire mesh fence extends from the top rail to the ground keeping your pets contained. There has never been a reported escape, though deer do jump the fence often to graze in the yard.

Thank you again, and please reach out if you have any questions. I’m happy to answer any you may have.

Poconos Retreat

Will (the owner) is very good at communication and made the whole vacation easy and carefree. The property was exactly as described and we really enjoyed the game and movie rooms. On the day of check-in we saw a black bear mama and her 3 cubs right along the road. Every day we had visits from deer in the backyard too! The beach and lake were a welcome relief from the heat. Truly a wonderful vacation with our family.

Birthday Retreat

The home was exactly as advertised. We selected this area because it was a central location for family coming from different locations. We were able to find plenty of family friendly activities and it was the perfect time of year to appreciate the foliage. We hope to return next year.

This is the second time we stayed at this property. A fall weekend provides excellent photography opportunities and the two game rooms were a hit with the grandkids. The owner is quite responsive and accessible.

Great house!!!

We had such a great time in this lovely house. Its two big game rooms have everything to occupy kids and adults. Personally for me one of the biggest plus of the property was fenced backyard so I could let my dog walk around freely. The house itself was nice and clean and comunication with the host was very easy. Would love to come here again !

Mini Getaway with pups!

We had a great time on this mini getaway! The house was spacious and clean. The game room was super fun, and our dogs enjoyed running around in the yard. We were twenty minutes from Jim Thorpe and got some antiquing in too! It’s a peaceful property, and nice to see the neighborhood deer wander around.

Will the host was very helpful. We had 4 grandkids with us and they were very entertained the entire 4 days with all the games. As were the adults. The big hit was the new theater room that Will had just set up. At one point all 10 of us were watching a movie at the same time. Fantastic vacation. THANK YOU WILL

Best Rental in the Poconos

My family recently stayed here and it is by far the best home we have rented in 20 years. Everything in the home was clean, worked great, and the furnishings were very comfortable. The tv room and games were outstanding and the home is impeccably maintained. The property is fantastic. Our dogs were able to safely stay outside in the fenced yard while we enjoyed the large deck in the sun. The surrounding woods were so serene and quiet. We ended up staying home more than we ventured out because of how nice it was. Will, the property owner was very friendly and responsive. We have never returned to the same rental twice, but we will be back here, finding a true home away from home.

Spacious, entertaining space

The house and process with the owner was great. There are so many options for games, the theatre room was a great bonus, and the inside feels bigger than what the pictures show. There were also games and books for younger children which we really appreciated. They do have a sizeable bump in the back yard that is hard to see in pictures, which made watching the kids a little more difficult - although they loved rolling down the hill! We would have loved being able to burn fires outside (neighborhood rule for renters) and cabinets in the kitchen being labeled. It was a really great spot for family/friend vacation and would recommend the owner and property to friends and family as well.

Nice retreat in nature

Our group of five elderly siblings and four spouses had a good stay in the retreat. Quiet setting in the woods with lots of deer to keep us entertained. Lots of time spent on the pool table and the upstairs game room. Well equipped kitchen where we prepared all our meals for all seven days and the dining table provided space for all 9 of us to share meals. Host Will was very responsive and went so far as to bring us a DVD player so we could watch some movies we brought with us. There is a huge well furnished deck that we didn't use because of cloudy, chilly, rainy weather. Maybe next time!

This property was great. We had four adults and two dogs. Location was perfect, between Jim Thorpe and Lake Harmony. Very dog friendly, and the fenced in yard was a huge plus.

Presidents weekend getaway

We had a great time at this property over Presidents Weekend. There were ten of us and there was plenty of room to spread out and sleep. Our grandkids really enjoyed the game rooms and we watched the Eagles Superbowl win parade on the 85" TV!! Took the kids tubing and enjoyed a couple meals at the nearby resturants. We would definitely rent here again!!
