Communication with owner was great. House was clean and good location. Note: No Washer/Dryer On Site! If you plan on staying more than a couple of days and/or doing dirty outside activities, plan accordingly. The backyard was spacious and backed up to woods. We could seen wildlife in the morning. As is most houses in the area this is in an ‘Owners Association’ (gated) community; you will need to fill out a Temporary Rental Agreement. We enjoyed our stay and Tobyhanna

I will stay at Castle Idlewild was wonderful. Everything was perfect. I would say the only thing that they lacked in was we had to fill up the tub 2 to 3 times with hot water so we can sit and soak in the tub for relaxation which was so wonderful truly recommend this jewel to everyone.

The house was very clean, and the host was great! Just FYI there is no A/C in the upstairs bedroom, so if your staying during the summer it can get a little warm, and to get a pool pass it is 12 a person per day.

This home is so cozy and absolutely beautiful! Perfect location near Poconos! We had an awesome weekend skiing and this home is located 30 minutes or less to resorts, shops and restaurants! Jenny is a great host and was very flexible. She was kind and caring. We enjoyed our stay! The beds were slightly uncomfortable because they were quite firm. But that is just a personal preference. I highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a stay near the Poconos! Would definitely book again!
