What an awesome place to stay with a group of people! This is such a beautiful, CLEAN and well-maintained house. There's a huge, cozy open den with a fireplace and high ceilings. There's a bedroom downstairs and a bathroom with a nice strong shower. Upstairs, there's two more bedrooms, one with a big bed and another with two big bunk beds. Plus there's a whirlpool upstairs!! The downstairs was our favorite-- a pool table, foosball table, ping pong table, TV, stereo, stuff for kids, and the best part-- a hot tub right outside the basement door. The best thing about this place is how well it is cared for. Everything, and I mean everything, is labeled-- every switch, every drawer, which makes it so much less stressful. You don't have to think hard about anything but relaxing. I loved how organized the house was. The outside is awesome, too-- it's wooded and gives a feeling of privacy, but not creepily so. I can't wait to get out of the city and go back to this bit of heaven. Thanks to Rebekah for her great customer service and help.

My husband and I recently rented the house for a quiet getaway weekend. We were very pleased with the cleanliness and comfort of the home. The kitchen was well equipped and pleasant. While bedding was provided, we did bring our own. We loved the outside hot tub, which was easy to maintain and took advantage of the upstairs jacuzzi. The game room was a lot of fun. There are certainly plenty of activities there to keep entertained. We did not use any of the amenities but did take a trip to Mt. Airy Casino which was only about 20 minutes away. All in all, we had a wonderful weekend. Rebekah was easy to work with and made the whole rental process very easy. We would definitely rent this property again.

We really enjoyed our stay in Rebecka and Keith's home. The home was very spacious and was everything we had hoped for our vacation getaway. We did't get a chance to use the fireplace due to the warm weather. But, we did have a nice soak in the hot tub after a day on the slopes at Shawnee Mt. Thank you, Lana and the Nugent FLY

My experience at Mountainside Hideaway during the 4th of July Weekend in 2009 was exciting and Adventurous. I had a reunion with some NYC friends and family from Buffalo, NY. Everyone loved their experience. The home was clean and came FULLY equipped with all of the amenities that one would expect from an upscale property in the Poconos. The people from from the community were very hospitable and pleasant especially our neighbors next door. The jacuzi was FANTASTIC!! Wish I was in it right now LOL!! The fireplace was used to keep us warm while we sat around reminiscing about the good ol'days. Roasted marshmellos, hershey's chocolate and graham crackers kept us busy all night long:) Thanks for a wonderful time! Looking forward to going there again or perhaps consider your other properties. Signed, A happy tenant Anthony (Bronx,NY)

First of all, Rebekah was easy to work with. All information needed was clear/both in e-mails and folder in house itself. Location was great, woodsy and beautiful - extremely accessible to attractions, eateries and shopping. The house was very comfortable and fun. My family and I were able to laugh, relax and enjoy ourselves completely! Thanks so much, for the experience!

I rented this vacation house for me and my 3 kids and invited my sister and her 3 kids and my neice for Christmas.It was 10 of us ranging in age from 8-35 and we all had a ball. The house was cozy and clean and came with everything, all we needed was our luggage.The way they structured the payment plan for the home was extremely great and Keith and Rebekah were also very good host and very attentive to all my needs.I plan to use my $25 coupon towards a summer get away in one of their homes. I would recommend not just the Pocono mountains but the Donovans as your host.

We had a wonderful women's college reunion in the house and enjoyed the location very much. It was clean with all the amenities. The location was easy on all parties from 3 states!

My sister and I took our families to Saw Creek for a peacefull and relaxing vacation and that is exactly what we got. The kids had a great time on the lake and in the pool. Back at the house they had lots of fun in the game room. We even brought our Dad with us and he said it was nice to be in the mountains and enjoy nature.

The house was perfect, we had 6 guys head to the Poconos for a golf weekend. The game room was great, air conditioning kept all of the bedrooms nice and cool and the grill was perfect for a summer Saturday night. Thanks again!

This was a wonderful house with great amenities and was very nicely situated on a hill with a small "river" below the house; the view was spectacular. The owners were very well organized and quick in processing all transactions. Very easy going and went out of their way to keep you happy and pleased with the overall trip. Me and my g/f were extremely happy. I would definitly recommend and will return for another getaway very soon. Thanks guys.

We had a great time at this beautiful home! The house is in a perfect location for some peace and relaxation, especially with the sound of the stream behind the house. The game room and hot tub are great too!

This was a wonderful place to stay. My wife & I really enjoyed all of the amenities. We really enjoyed seeing all of the deer in their natural environment. It was an absolute pleasure to deal with Rebekah. She even called during our stay to make sure everything was ok, and that we found the house to be enjoyable. My wife & I have rented a lot over the years, and never received that type of personal attention. We look forward to renting with Keith & Rebekah again in the future.

We always enjoying staying at Saw Creek Estates. We have stayed at all 3 homes at Saw Creek and they are all beautiful. The owners are a pleasure to deal with. Every vacation for us at these homes are most pleasurable. Can't wait to spend time at your rental homes again. Thank you and your family for most memorable vacations.

This was by far the best house that myself along with 3 other couples have rented! We go away once a year to the Poconos and once a year to Wildwood, NJ. THIS HOUSE WAS HUGE! THe game room was great for everyone to play something different without someone sitting there being bored!! Great location with plenty to do around the area. Would always remember to call Keith and Rebekah for our next travels!

The house was great! I found the detailed information provided throughout the house to be a great benefit throughout my rental period. The house is centrally located to skiing and other attractions. Parking on the hill is a little crazy, but you get the hang of it after a few times. The jacuzzi tub was great, except that it basically uses all the water, so knowone els can shower for awhile after using it. The basement game room and hot tub were awesome! Thanks again.

Owner response:Just as a quick responce, we will be addressing the driveway this spring to make parking easier. Yes, the 2 person jacuzzi tub is about 70 gallons and will use up all the hot water. Thanks for bringing it to our attention as we will make a notation about it to pass on to future guest. Thanks for staying with us and we hope to hear from you in the future!
