Private Cottage Nestled in the Trees;Pet Friendly-Near Slopes-Waterpks-JimThorpe
Thank you for considering My Vacation Property Rental (MVP Rental) for your upcoming trip to the Poconos. I have owned and been hosting people at homes in this resort community since 2011. Over the years, across multiple properties, I have managed thousands of reservations and have gained the expertise to offer a relaxing retreat for both your group, and pets.
This home was the first property I purchased and was used personally for many years while also renting until relocation to the area ended the need for a second home. The home is located near the edge of the community but is tucked back into thick pines and is well hidden from view. Easy to get to, yet fee ls much more secluded than it is. The third-floor covered deck is without doubt the best spot to take in a snow or rain storm. It's so quiet at night you can hear the snow landing on the pine trees. It's a fantastic location.
The home is tastefully decorated, comfortable for families, and cozy for romantic getaways. The kitchen is well stocked with cookware, the home has air conditioning, gas fireplace, high speed Wi-Fi, outdoor seating area and grill. All homes are smoke-free, and pet friendly provided appropriate pet fee has been paid.

Beautiful property! Great amenities in the neighborhood. The owner was very communicative before and during our stay. We would definitely stay here again!
Great place for a quick getaway, hope to be back.All aspects of the home were good, 5 out of 5, if I had to recommend anything, time for new shower curtain in main bath, and the sofas in living room could be updated.Beautiful otherwise, Will was extremely accommodating and responded quickly to our texts. Our favorite place was the treetop deck on the 3rd floor, def very cool!Would 100% recommend to others!!
Home was very clean and had a cozy, cabin feel. It was secluded enough where we could enjoy the patios/outdoor areas with limited view of other neighbors. It was nestled in a very quiet, well manicured neighborhood with lots of friendly deer roaming around. Beach, lake, other community amenities and markets, were a short drive. The host, Will, was very responsive when I had a few questions and reached out during our stay. We enjoyed the calm and quiet away from NYC and we would love to come back in the future!

I loved this house. It was better than we expected. The community around is a very pretty and quiet community. The house is beautiful and has so many comfy places to just relax or hang out with friends.
Clean, large and cozy house wonderful for hosting family or friends. Took my wife's family on a mini getaway and the main focus of the weekend was definitely the fireplace and the kitchen table. It was large enough to host us all. Will definitely be booking again.
Perfect for a last minute snowboarding getaway! This cabin was a perfect place to come home and unwind after a long day at the slopes and the Waterpark. The neighborhood was charming and quiet. We slept very well in the beds and the home was clean. As a family of 5, it was so nice that everyone had their own space to relax in. Our host was also accommodating and easy to work with!
Woodsy environment helps create a sense of seclusion, but there are other properties close by that we had to be considerate of. While my group didn't use much of the community amenities, we did appreciate the quiet and peaceful neighborhood and it was great for casual bike-riding. Very flat roads without much traffic.This house in particular was just what we expected and suited us fine. The covered porch area off the second floor was especially lovely.
We had a wonderful stay here. Stayed for a couple nights and had a minor issue, but spoke with the owner (he’s great), and he was there in a few minutes to fix it. Had everything we needed to cook a couple meals and stay comfortably. Highly recommend the place.

thanks Eric. appreciate the feedback, and happy you enjoyed your time at the home.
The property was easy to find, comfortable, and as listed. Dealing with the property owner was easy and he provided plenty of information. Our family had a great time.
We absolutely loved this place, it’s like coming home.
Comfortable, clean, maintained and cozy.
We have been going to this community quite a few times. This home was exactly what I wanted from a mountain home…,
Communication was fantastic!
Accurate pictures describing the propertie and plenty of space for the 6 of us. Good assortment of dishes and kitchen accessories. Some nice eating places in area. Overall we had a nice time with everything involving this rental.
Comfortable retreat for time away with family for a little rest and recharge. It was really nice not having to make all the beds and drag a big bag of linens and towels with us for our stay. The owner was responsive and great with communication. We would consider staying here in the future. Overall a very good experience!
