Perfect

I liked everything about our stay. Anthony is the perfect host: not imposing but present when needed and offers good advice. Frankly, most hosts are so overly scared of the ratings that they become overbearing and become intrusive just to get 5 stars. Anthony found the right balance between making you feel welcome and give you privacy. Highly recommended!

Tony is the most welcoming and communicative host I’ve ever met

Communication with Tony was excellent from the moment I showed an interest in the property. He met us at the house, gave us a tour of the property, explained how to access community amenities and facilitated the guest passes. Tony was like a human guidebook of the surrounding area. Tony maintained communication throughout our stay, was fast with responses and always positive and upbeat… all of this despite previous renters significantly damage some of his property. Tony’s house is comfortable and welcoming and had all of the supplies we needed for a week long family stay with children. The area and community are relaxing and there is a lot to do. I feel this is a haven for outdoors enthusiasts and people who just enjoy nature, but the lake offers free use of kayaks, paddle boards and pedal boats. They have playgrounds at the lake and pools. The lake has floating docks for the family to play in and dive off of. The pools are large and very well kept. One pool is geared toward kids with slides and a diving board with a small kids splash area while the other pool is newer, heated and more likely to be a relaxing spot for adults. The ski lodge is utilized as a guest area for small activities in the warm seasons. The market has basic items and a decent deli style food menu. There are many things to do on the property. We are looking forward to returning during the snowboard and ski season. This is not as amenity packed as Massanutten in Virginia, but is a wonderful destination and close to Lake Wallenpaupack. Tony made the difference with making this a great stay. He is the best host I’ve met, and we have been using VRBO for several rentals.

These guests were a nightmare. They lied about the number of guests and exceeded the maximum allowable by my resort resulting in fines whihc were exacaerbated by theier illegally felling a tree on the property. In doing so they broke an axe of mine which was unfortunately only a fraction of the damages. They also drank all the liquer in the house and threw out a lot of my personal itmes which I discovered n the garbage which had not been disposed of as required and was strewn around the property probably by the bears. Some other items were also damaged including a router. I would have refunded the cleaning fee even though I personally supervised the cleaning and sne tt he lady back. Howeve tgiven the damages I uncovered exceeded the fee and the fines more then exceeded the revenue form the rental I explained this to the guests and have not pursued a claim as is my right.

The house was very nice but one bedroom was unusable

The air had been turned off to the attic bedroom and it was over 80 degrees in that room. We opened the vents, and the doors but even by that evening it was still about 78 degrees. Luckily we had several houses rented in the area and were able to readjust people and move them to a different room. The house itself was very nice, very clean and modern. We had a great stay and would not hesitate to return.
