Great stay overall! It rained 3/4 days we stayed and we had the best time! When the weather did clear up we took advantage of the neighborhood amenities and our kids (14,9,8) had a blast as well as the adults. The house itself was perfect! Clean, functional and open. All the beds were SO comfortable and the tvs had everything we were looking for.
We had a great stay at the Family Retreat! There was plenty of room, we were in the middle of the sights we wanted to see, it was great to have a fenced in yard for the dog and everyone enjoyed the fun game room basement! I had a few questions and the owner was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay.
What an amazing property and stay. Ample space, kid and dog friendly. Comfortable beds! Kitchen had plenty of items for a large family to enjoy a wonderful vacation! I must note, though we didn’t need due to the house being warm and cozy, they had extra blankets and pillows. Even the trash attendant was sweet and friendly! Property was clean and beyond welcoming! Not once did I feel like it was a vacation rental that was just a means of revenue due to it having a home like feel! The host was friendly and kind and would absolutely recommend this rental to friends and family!
Everything in good condition, the basement game room was great. Dogs loved the back yard. Could use more kitchen supplies such as serving bowls and dishesThanks
We really enjoyed our stay here. The game room was a hit with all of us including our 3 year old niece. The fenced in yard was great for our dog to roam around and we made good use of the kitchen and charcoal grill. Communication with Will was fast and effective.
This house is exactly what we needed for down time. Close to Hickory Run State Park. Jim Thorpe. Our dog especially loved the fenced in yard, not sure she wanted to leave. We will definitely be back.
We gad a great time!! The house was lovely and as described by the owner. The fenced in yard was great for the two dogs. We also took walks around the neighborhood and it was very peaceful. Overall this was a great house for us and I would definitely recommend staying there.
We had a great stay! The dog friendly fenced in yard is a definite plus and the game room made our nights SO awesome! Will, the host, was easy to communicate with…thank you Will!
This was a great house to stay in. Lots of fun games in the house. It was clean and the check- in/ check-out process was easy. We would definitely stay here again!
Our stay was very enjoyable and everyone had a great time! The listing was accurate - all the amenities and variety of things to do within the house kept us busy. Kitchen was well stocked and thought out. The house was cozy especially during the wintery nights. We will definitely come back for a longer stay.
The house was great! Since it was so cild we stayed in other than some quick trips to the store. We spent the weekend hanging out in the ipen living area and plating games. The game room was fun - lots to keep us occupied.
The house was what we needed.. It was spacious with a huge yard for the pooches. The Game room was a blast every night and location was where we needed to be for daily hikes and a trip into Jim Thorpe. Would definitely recommend this place.
The house was great, was very clean and the accomodations were as described. Communication with owner was great. The game room was fun. Nice area, quiet and good to relax and enjoy nature
4 adults and 6 kids (2-9) stayed for 2 nights. Nice location, game room downstairs was great! Kids had a blast playing downstairs and out back. Definitely recommend this house.

Why they chose this property
This home offers an open floor plan which is great for entertaining. The kitchen has been remodeled with granite countertops, custom backsplash, rustic hickory cabinetry, and bar. The large back deck is a great spot for summer time star gazing, and a great location to watch the wildlife that visit the back yard regularly. The home is located in a quiet location with little through traffic and most boarding properties undeveloped. The home is well stocked with all the kitchen appliances and cookware you could need. This home is very clean and tastefully decorated.
