Nice Family Getaway

The house is beautiful and spacious. My children loved the lower level with bunk beds, den and games. The community has a nice pool, playground, tennis courts, basketball court and volleyball court which we all enjoyed. We found some local places to eat which were lovely and look forward to booking again in the future.

Our stay was great overall! The owners were super responsive and accommodating. There was one minor issue with cleanliness but nothing that turned us off from the property. The kids loved the game room and the upstairs deck. An added bonus was the baby gate at the top of the stairs that was great to have for my 1.5 year old. The location was great. The community amenities were awesome. We really enjoyed the pool a couple days we were there, and the staff there were so friendly. We really enjoyed our time and will be back!

Great House!

My friends and I stayed for New Years Eve, there were 7 of us and the house fit us perfectly. The house is super clean and comfortable! Thomas was such a great host, he responded quickly to any questions I may have had. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

A quiet week away.

Our family of five came here for work in the area and a fun time to spend with our kids. We loved the area and the cabin. It had a nice homie vibe to it and the kids found it cozy too. We watched movies and play board games to pass the time and love how much wildlife we saw there too. Just make sure to have 4 wheel drive if you expect any snow because the entrance road was steep and icy. No fault of the owners, but might seeing that in a review might have made me bring a different vehicle. Will stay here again if we are in the area!

Fall Girl's Trip

The home was well maintained in a very quiet area. We were able to have a fire in the evening and enjoyed the new Adirondack chairs. For as woodsy as the location is, it is also close to many restaurants and the lake. Great home, great location. And the owners were very responsive when we needed anything!

Peaceful time away with Friends

We took a weekend away as all adults with no kids. We were looking for a property that not only would fit all of us but would be comfortable for us to hang out and relax, and this property fit the bill perfectly. We were able to enjoy the lake nearby, as well as the local restaurants, while still also being able to relax in the evenings around the fire. The owners were GREAT with communication before, during, and after our stay. We had a very minor issue of a window being stuck open prior to our arrival that was communicated with no issues. Everything in the home looks and functions as it is posted in the listing. The area is beautiful. There is nothing like sitting on the deck in the morning with your coffee while the fall leaves drift to the ground around you!

Nice private cabin

The property is beautiful and we had a great time. Nice and secluded. The property needs a deep clean, no trash was left out but everything was dusty like it had never been touched. Also count the air hockey out, table is warped and barely blows air so is unplayable and should not be show in property photos

Great!

House was clean, everything was as described. Beds were very comfortable, which was really appreciated. Host was super responsive. It would’ve been nice if there were some camping chairs available, but we were told ahead of time to bring our own (we just didn’t have the space to pack them). Would definitely return!

Family Vacation

The rooms were spacious and the kitchen had newer appliances which was very nice since our family likes to cook. We had plenty of room. The outside deck was spacious as well, with a gas grill and large outdoor table and seating. There was plenty to do that kept the kids happy - Costa's Fun Park, Claws-n-Paws, swimming at the public beach on Lake Wallenpaupack, plenty of hiking trails. Our family decided to vacation at the Poconos instead of the beach and we are glad we did. Our hosts were very receptive to all inquiries and answered questions promptly. Try it out....you'll be glad you did.

As peaceful as possible with 4 kids

The property was extremely well furnished, and the communication with the owners seamless. Couple of little things missed by cleaning service, and boy golly does gps not like the neighborhood but we sure did. 9.67/10, long lighter for campfire would have been clutch.
