Thanksgiving in the Poconos

Enjoyed the Thanksgiving Holiday in the Poconos with the family. Big change from the 80 degree weather we left in Florida. Looking forward to ski season and renting again. Hot tub was a big treat after turkey and stuffing.

July 4 weekend with the family

House was good with a few things needing work and one thing I feel I was lied to about. Needs work….. Light bulbs when they burn out change them. Shade in the living room, replace it when it doesn’t work. Air Conditioners were portable, only 1 was properly hooked up the other 2 were pushing cold air out the front and hot air out the back, duct tape can only go so far. Plus who wants to be responsible for emptying the condensation buckets. Feeling lied too, the jetted tub in the main bedroom did not work, thru text message the owner told me they were replacing it. In a review from 4 years earlier found the same issue listed with the jetted tub. This was one of the main reasons I rented here, the tub looked like it hadn’t been used in a long time. It should be noted on the listing that it doesn’t work. Bedding and towels not provided, them a message that they are provided, followed by a message the day we leave that they are not provided. UPDATE your automatic messages. Mentions……. Takes the refrigerator about 36 hours to really get cold. The hot tub takes about 10 hours to get to temperature. Instruction can be found on You Tube. Soft floor near shower in 3rd floor bathroom. It needs attention. Not a bad place, small things matter. I have stayed in worse places. Not a high end type of guy. We enjoyed the pool and lake and each other on our trip. So it was good. Thank you to the owner for renting, just that jetted tub thing really stands out to me.

Filthy&disgusting - we refused to stay

This property was so filthy and disgusting we refused to stay. I’ve never seen anything like this. We immediately called VRBO. It would take me too long to describe all of the filth, the dirt, the disrepair, the disorganization and complete disaster this house was in when we got there. I have many many pictures to substantiate this. There weren’t even blankets or comforters, as claimed in the property description, for a WINTER rental. DO NOT RENT! Ever! If there was a way to post pictures, I would. Take my word for it. Don’t risk your health and safety by staying here.

Nice house

Beautiful house with an outbuilding. 4 balconies where you can spend time having breakfast or dinner admiring the evening stars and enjoying the fresh air. A 5-minute walk from the house is a lake and attractions where there was something for adults and children to do. Fishing, kayaking and much more. I recommend this house to everyone for a family vacation.

Overall Great Experience

From start to finish, the process was easy and carefree. Everything was explained very well. Constant communication with the homeowner put us at ease with any problems that may have arose. Our stay was great. Everything in the house worked great. It was clean. Plenty of supplies for cooking and cleaning. Just an overall great experience.

Unsafe and dirty

This house was filthy. My boyfriend and I stayed for a long weekend. This place is dirty, unsafe, and clearly a party house. The carpets were so gross I never took my shoes off, the furniture is so worn and uncomfortable. The smoke detectors are disconnected, there were daddy long leg spiders EVERYWHERE!! Webs with spider eggs in every corner and moths all thru the house, big and small. The chandelier above the dinning table is filled with dead bugs. If that’s not enough...we killed 3 German cockroaches in the kitchen and master bath. I could go on forever but basically, if your 25 and looking to party with some friends then this may be the place for you, if your anyone else do not rent this house. Had I showed up for this stay with my children I would have had to leave. I would not let them stay n such a unsafe and dirty place. Upon departure, I did notify the owner of the bugs and condition of the home. He seems shocked, “no one has mentioned this” he said. This rental has a high cleaning and I feel at the least I should Have been offered my cleaning fee back. This is an edited version of my intended review as VRBO has requested that I remove certain information....rather than investigating the property for themselves. I feel this shows poorly against VRBO as well.

Nice place but NEEDS updating

Few things need to be taken care of... 1 - the AC unit in the master bedroom drains into a 5 gallon bucket and needs to be dumped at least twice a day or the floor gets soaked. 2 - the bath tub in the master bedroom leaks bad, as in the faucet itself falls off, so you can't use it. 3 - both gas grills just need to be replaced. One has tin pans on the bottom just for charcoal and the actual gas one is so rusted that the 3 fingers aren't even connected and it only flares up just in the front. 4 - the couch in the billard room has a rip in it and is covered by a pillow.

Plenty of room for a large family.

We loved the location and there was plenty of room for all 8 of us. We were disappointed that a lot of things werent working or in poor condition. Upon getting there the screens to the porch were hanging off because the duct tape that was used to hold then there was falling off. There were two grills that seem to have never been cleaned, one which was leaking gas. Half the lights werent working in the house and locks on the bathrooms didnt work. The whirlpool tub faucet leaked and unless you hold it down the water ran onto the floor. There was just a lot of things that have been neglected that could be easily fixed. And when checkout day came we were never given any instructions on what to do. We had a wonderful vacation but we just wished things were more tidy and working for the amount of money we paid.

Fine, but just fine. Not the best rental.

We booked this house solely for the hot tub, and the one in the property currently is not the same one in the listing pictures. We had a hard time getting the temperature set the first night, but the property owner didn’t hesitate to call and talk us through it. We really appreciated his open communication and do recommend his service. Even with his directions, we couldn’t turn off the waterfall feature in the tub, so it wasn’t as relaxing as we hoped. Inside, the house was cleaned, but it is in desperate need of some TLC. There wasn’t a comfortable spot to sit in the couch as all of the couches, chairs, and mattresses are old and shot. Some of the couches were even ripped with the stuffing coming out. The beds were all flat as boards, so thankfully for just the 2 of us, my husband and I had our choice to find the lesser of all the evils. The paint on the walls was chipped and peeling in more than one spot, some of the rugs were ripped, the sink in the master bathroom was cracked, etc. Overall it seemed like no one has put any effort into the house since the late 80s. The size and space have potential to be an awesome spot, but as is, it really falls short.

Great Spacious House

We just got back from a mid week stay. We had a decent size group. The house is laid out great with many spacious areas indoor and outdoors to give everyone room. The lower lever was ideal for our teeenagers to hang out and sleep, pool table, hot tub and large bedroom!. Joe the owner was very receptive and quick to any questions I had from booking through staying. Great central location of house as well. The only thing I would add is more cooking supplies. Thanks again for an awesome week.

Lots of room for the family - lots of pros / few cons

This was a spacious property and convenient having bedrooms spread out over three floors as it allowed us to put teenagers on one floor and smaller children on upper floor. Each appreciates their privacy. The property certainly met our needs, had a nice size table for game nights, fully functional kitchen to cook family meals. Fireplace was wonderful and kids enjoyed watching the deer from the back door. As mentioned there are some cons: - Don’t know who their cleaning service is but every pot, bowl, plate we pulled from the cabinet was nasty like they had put up dirty dishes. We finally we through and just washed everything. When the snow started melting we noticed the porch was full of cigarette butts from prior tenants. This was pretty gross for us and we could not let the small kids go out on the porch due to nasty cigarette butts. - DOSE NOT COME WITH LINENS OR TOWELS! Would have been nice to know earlier as we flew in from Texas and did not pack these items. Upon arrival at 10:00 we had to make a Walmart run to get linens and towels. On her lighter advice that they had a linen service we could rent from but the cost was substantially higher than what we paid to purchase the items. - The furniture is pretty worn out! The beds are the hardest beds I have ever slept on. The sofa downstairs on the first level is torn and the upholstery sofa on the second level is just worn down. Great for napping but not very comfortable for sitting.

Plenty of space. Fun for families.

This house was great for 12 people. It was nice having the hot tub and pool table to keep the kids entertained. House was clean but outdated and the lack of essential items took a star off the rating. There are no hand towels in kitchen or bathrooms. There was enough dishwasher soap for 1 load when the house holds 14 people and we had 3 nights booked. Dish soap and hand soaps watered down and the kitchen is quite tiny for a big house. Sheets are NOT included which was not known until after we booked. Went back to check and this was in the fine print of the listing. This should have been clear in the main description of the house. Overall it got the job done and we had a good family vacation at the house.

Why they chose this property

This home offers a spacious floor plan with enough room for every to have their own space but still be connected.

What makes this property unique

The home has 3 levels of decks which make it great for relaxing in the beautiful mountain weather. The rear deck gets sun all afternoon and is one of the best sun bathing spots in the Poconos. The 3rd floor deck on the front of the house is a great place to star gaze and enjoy the mountain air. On a clear night you'll feel like you can reach out and touch the stars.
