My wife and I traveled with our three children and their friends, so there were 8 of us in total, and there was plenty for us to do when we were not out skiing. The game room, in the basement and hot tub were awesome to have and we really enjoyed our stay

Thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad to hear that you and your family had a great time and that everyone enjoyed the game room and hot tub after a day of skiing. It’s wonderful to know the space worked well for your group. We’d be happy to host you again anytime!
We decided to stay here for our spring break and it was a great decision. The house was amazing. The bedrooms, all the living rooms, the hot tub, the games, everything was on point. The house was well stocked with everyday supplies you would need. It was close to allot of activities. I would recommend this house and would definitely stay here again. Thank you for a fun trip!
We loved this property! We stay in the Poconos for a girls weekend every year and all agreed this was by far our favorite place. Was very clean, had all the amenities you could need and just felt cozy. Olga was super responsive and helpful. We will def be back!
Lovely home with great amenities! Very comfortable furniture and beds, we felt right at home and it was great having the lake so close by. Hope to be back soon, thank you!
We had the best time celebrating our Bride. The property was great! We loved the couch in the living room!! It allowed all 12 of us to lay down relax and watch Bride Rom-Coms!! Will definitely stay again

The house was perfect! The kitchen is well stocked. There are games galore. The pool and beach are very close! The hot tub was great after a day of bike riding the Lehigh Gorge!

Thank you for taking your time to review the property. We had a pleasure to host you, and you were fantastic guests! Highly recommended to other hosts.
We came up to the Pocono area for my daughter's Sweet 16. This house was perfect for the girls she invited, for our older son, and very close to the mountain for snowboarding, skiing, and tubing. The girls loved the hot tub! I would rent absolutely rent again!

The house was set up well. Needed a little better cleaning. Lots of room to spread out and enjoyed the basement activities. The deck was great for afternoons!

Dear Jamie,
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your experience with us.
My family and I stayed at this Towamensing Trails home this past weekend. It’s a great location about 10 minutes from Big Boulder and 20-25 minutes from Jack Frost. The house was clean. The cabinets were clearly labeled so we would find exactly what we needed in the kitchen. There are lots of board games and books and thoughtful touches that the homeowners have in this home. The hot tub was really nice to have. The landlord was great at communicating. Instructions were left everywhere around the house, including how to work the fireplace. For the value of what it cost, I wish it had a better equipped kitchen and maybe some nicer pillows in the bedrooms. Some of the pots and utensils looked really dated and used. In addition, operation of some of the thermostats for the bedrooms were a little tricky to operate. Some more detailed instructions posted would be helpful. But overall a wonderful and comfortable experience at this home.
