Check in was the best part - quick and easy. When we got there this place literally looked abandoned. I think the neighbors were shocked to see us. The entire area outside was dirty, grass overgrown, for sale sign right in the front yard. It was really odd. Inside was similar to what others experienced except the AC worked great. If I didn’t come prepared and bring my own cleaning products I would’ve been worse off. Host wasn’t super responsive, no WiFi info, etc. It was fine for a quick weekend trip but would avoid for longer than 2 days

Conveniently Located

This 2 bedroom is conveniently located near ESU and is comfortable. It was very nice to be able to cook meals, relax with a nice TV, and have good heat, A/C, and a hot shower. I would certainly rent this place again when I'm back for another visit.

Wonderful Stay

This is probably the cutest little house we’ve ever stayed! Very quiet neighborhood close to everything! Close to campus, close to Main Street. House is extremely cozy! Had great communication with owner. Everything was a breeze! Highly recommended!

Owner never gave me address or code to door. Vrbo could not get in touch with owner. Got address , approched the house on the front door was a sticker from the town on the door that said....this property has been deemed abandoned and vacant. Only reason we got in, was because the neighbor gave us the owners phone number. When we finally got in, the heat did not work. The temp was 55 degrees inside and colder at night. I am demanding a refund for this trip. And i would never recommend this vrbo property to anyone....ever

Thank you I had a nice day

Hello, the house was very beautiful, but the pot was very dirty. It was very comfortable and it was very clean. I had a nice day, but that’s the only problem I had with the pots. It was very filthy.

Home was as pictured and location was quiet and people friendly near a University! We were there for an Anniversary Weekend. Convenient location for all your needs. We did a ATV t riding nearby at Pocono ATV Tours. The house looks better in person than in pictures. The neighbors were good neighbors. The house was clean but not thoroughly clean. Meaning there was spill stains not wiped off of white cabinets. Silverware with food still on them and crumbs inside the refrigerator. Nothing major but things that should be cleaned on a normal let alone for a VRBO rental. Place could use a deep cleaning. Another thing is the fishnet or drain should I call it is DISGUSTING!! Simple fix, just needs to be replaced. Other than that we would stay there again.

Property owner thinks they can keep all of your money even though a natural disaster happened during the time you were supposed to be there. So, basically, if the weather could kill you, you either take the chance of dying or have your money taken from you for absolutely nothing. Also, VRBO/Expedia states that there are exceptions for extenuating circumstances such as natural disasters. We were supposed to be at the property from January 23, 2026 till January 25, 2026(leave by 11 am), during which time a huge snow storm covered the entire state of Pennsylvania. The governor of Pennsylvania even issued a state of emergency for the entire state. Meanwhile, I'm sure, had we actually gone to the property, stayed there like planned and gotten stuck and couldn't leave on time, we certainly would have been charged more money for that as well. Bottom line is, this property is just a HUMONGOUS SCAM. Also, there is/was no cancellation policy listed for the property.

Temperatures were in the low 30’s when we arrived early evening and there was no heat on. It took about 2 hours to warm up and there were still cold droughts from the 2 AC units in the window - especially where paper was stuffed at the AC sides in the main bedroom.The hot water for a shower/bath did not work it was mildly tepid, although there was hot water in the kitchen and bathroom taps. The owner said he’d have someone look at it but nothing was fixed.The table and counter surfaces were dirty enough to darken a cloth, along with some dead bugs, dust and grit on on windowsills and mantle. Some cooking pots were also dirty and there was black mold and food debris in the sink.This was overpriced for no hot wash water, a cold house, and a charge of 60 for cleaning for our 2 days when the place was dirty on arrival.

Bad Business

Did not get the code to the house the day of arrival as commonly done. Instead it says will get “on arrival”. That was 20 minutes waiting , and needing to go elsewhere for a bathroom before code was sent to get in. Home heat was slow to warm up, on cold, wet day. NO HOT WATER. Poor and slow communication from owner. With VRBO involved, still poor. Promised to get help, but no help came, after 3 phone calls and 6 hours. There was less than a roll of toilet paper for 4 people. Crusty bowl left next to sink. Both kitchen and bathroom sinks had yellow crusty pieces left in them. Kitchen cabinets dirty around sink area. Know your rights. No one deserves to be gaslighted.

The TV And Internet were not working. I contacted the owner and he gave me some excuse that The TV cable needed fiber optic some excuse anyway I couldn’t do any work whatsoever because I had no Internet let alone not being able to watch TV. The electrical outlets in the kitchen area were not working at all the lighting above the kitchen sink was not working. It was dirty. The facility hadn’t been vacuumed in a while when we pulled up to the house there was a for sale sign on the front yard and the grass was about 2 foot high not very encouraging in any case I believe because the owner has the house under contract for sale that he could care less about people staying there all in all we made the best of it

Terribly disgusting! From ants, to random pills on the carpet, stains and hair in the sheets, moldy smell, trash and dog feces all around the property, very dusty baseboards & doors, the microwave literally had stuck on food and grease inside and out! Crusted food or god knows what on the dining room table. The place was so filthy we didn’t even get ready at our place and bought new sheets. I didn’t want to touch ANYTHING. Had to line the filthy couch with a blanket we brought with us. When I texted the host to see what could be done about getting back the “cleaning fee” he/she basically said you can leave and I’ll refund you since you won’t find anywhere around here cheaper than this. Cheap wasn’t the issue, inconvenience was. I sent pics and videos to the host and they said “well my cleaners said they cleaned and I had to pay them” to which I replied “ I see that they said they allegedly cleaned but is that considered clean to YOU??!like with your eyes does any of this look clean??!!” 0/10 would not recommend, the pictures are a complete scam and the street the house is on is very rowdy, that’s a whole different story.
