The seven of us had a great weekend stay here; the place was perfect for the group! It's a nice location (both for 'getting there' and just taking a walk around), and the building/amenities were very nice. Definitely a place we'll look into in the future!

Response from VrboOwner on 11 September 2023
Hi Ed, we passed your comments on to the homeowner who would like to share the following: We strive to ensure that our guests have an exceptional experience with us and provide elevated levels of hospitality! - Once we were contacted about the hot water tank, we discovered the indicator was on the off status and asked you to check the power plug on the check-in day at 5:43 pm. You confirmed that the 'hot water heater is on,' and we accepted your response. Later you confirmed that the hot water wasn't working. We then provided additional information on how to address the issue and offered to schedule a call if necessary. - In regards to the pool bracelets, they were accidentally taken home with the previous guest. While we couldn't replace them right away, we took quick steps to have the previous guest send them back overnight. As a reminder, the community pool does require the presentation of a pool bracelet for entry. As we value guest satisfaction, we kept in touch with you throughout your stay. It is unfortunate that you encountered these issues but we did try to resolve them to your expectations. We truly go above and beyond for our guests, and we are confident that future guests will have excellent stays.

The house was everything I could've asked for. My fellow guests and I loved using the outdoor fire pit and the house itself was very spacious. Tennants provided a ton of valuable information on activities to do around the area which was very beneficial. The close proximity to the main lake and other ponds was another bonus. Would definitely recommend staying here and would stay again if I was ever in the area.

Our stay was fine but the house was a bit small for 5 adults and two children. Very nice deck and firepit. I got way too many emails about rules and such, and the required phone call with the owner was over the top in my opinion.

Amazing Cabin

We recently spent an unforgettable family vacation at a cabin in the Poconos, right by Lake Wallenpaupack, and it exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the cabin's charm and the breathtaking views of the lake.The cabin itself was perfect - cozy, yet spacious, and equipped with all the amenities we could have asked for. The kitchen was fully stocked, allowing us to prepare meals with ease, and the living area was comfortable, with a beautiful fireplace that made our evenings extra special.Cant wait to go back

Great location! Games were nice downstairs, just a little tight to play the ski ball and video games. Kitchen was spacious, but could use a few more plates and bowls. Also no mixing bowls or whisk (tried to make pancakes one morning without these items). Pool area was great and clean. Would recommend for a small family getaway!
Response from VrboOwner on 30 June 2023
From the owner: "Hi Jennifer, thank you for your complements on our home! Glad your family enjoyed the cocktail arcade and skeeball in our game room space.

Thank you for your feedback and looking forward to hosting guests this summer!"

The place is as described. I didn’t give 5 stars because there was a book of rules that I wasn’t made aware of till two weeks before we were staying there. I honestly would have looked for a different place to rent if I knew these rules upon booking. I was on a multi family vacation where families wanted to be able to hang out together and this was not possible at this house. The owner also came during our stay to drop off ‘supplies’ (more dish soap that we did not need) and walked around the house for about 20 minutes. It was honestly a little weird and felt like he was checking up on us. (We were a family of 7 adults above the age of 30 2 small children) it would have been more appropriate for him to come before we checked in.

"We’re glad the guest found the home as described and enjoyed their stay overall. We shared this feedback with the homeowner and wanted to share the following:The occupancy limits are set by Salem Township and the HOA, and are clearly outlined in the listing and pre-stay information. These rules apply to all rentals in the area and must be followed to protect hosting privileges.A brief stop was made during this stay to restock essential supplies for future guests, and this was communicated openly upon arrival.The home is carefully maintained to ensure comfort, with transparent communication before and during each stay.We appreciate the feedback and remain committed to providing a comfortable and welcoming experience for future travelers."
