A bunch of friends and I booked this house for a weekend to relax. The house is big and easily accomodated all 14 people. The HOT TUB was the best part. The house is in a beautiful location and safe, safe safe! We do not have kids but I can see this home a perfect place for a family getaway. We went to The Crossings for shopping, and skiing and wine tasting are all close by. The deck of the house is HUGE and the house have beautiful HUGE windows all around. If this house is too large for your group send an email to the owners they are wonderful people and they will have other options for you; all equally great-trust me I rented from them few times and I was not once disappointed!

My husband, my friends and I loved Tony's home. The home was very rustic but it had all the amenities we needed. We loved the warm hot tub, which was perfect against the starry night. We also loved the interesting fireplace in the center of the room, which spread it's warm evenly around the room. We also loved the 30+ bottles of Jack Daniels arranged on top of the kitchen cabinets. This place is perfect for a large group of friends.

The house comfortably fit 12 people. It's location was convenient- it was near camelback. The property was clean and well-maintained. The kitchen was easy to use and utensils, plates, glasses etc. were provided. The owner was friendly and easy to communicate with. Overall, I would recommend this property to a relative or friend.

This was my 3rd time renting this house and just like all the previous times, everything was wonderful! The house is very spacious, cozy, clean, and the fireplace in the middle of the living room is beautiful! The hot tub outside is a perfect size and can be viewed from the living room. It was perfect for my large group. Tony is very easy to work with and wonderful as well. If you need anything at any point in your stay, Tony is more than happy to come to the house and accommodate your needs. I would recommend this house for any group and the house is perfect for all ages!

My son, daughter, son's girlfriend and myself stayed at this house for a long weekend and we had a great time. The house is large so we had enough room to not get on each other's nerves! The young adults really enjoyed the hot tub. The TV was great; the games were fun to play. Honestly, there is nothing I can say that was missing in the house or anything that we needed that wasn't there. Owners are also very nice, prompt and organized. It was great to deal with them and we highly recommend this house!

Great family reunion

Guest: Christine Y.
Date of Stay: 07/09/11 Review Submitted: 07/17/11

We found the house to be very accomodating for our 14-member family reunion - plenty of space, 2 bathrooms, newer appliances, 2 refrigerators which is quite handy for larger groups, a beautiful deck, and hottub. Go for walks around the peaceful community to see the deer and spend a few days at the Boulder lake beach. Activities are generally within a half hour drive of the house - zipline, white water rafting, Camelbeach water park and Tannersville outlet mall. Had a great time! Tony was very helpful and informative! Thanks!!

My friends and my family with kids went for the Good Friday weekend over the spring break and we all had a great time. The house was clean and with every amenities mentioned in the listing. The deck area had plenty of comfortable seats and the hot tub was a big hit with the kids. Great get away with kids and the foosball table was in use throughout the stay. The Skirmish Paintball was a great attraction in the neighborhood. This was my first time at this house and overall we had a great time. I will definitley recommend this house and plan to rent this again. Tony thanks for everything and we totally appreciate extending the checkout time.

I would recommend this house to everyone. This is my 4th year renting with Anthony Lillo. This year was the first time I rented this house and I loved it. There were a total of 10 people staying at the house. We all felt comfortable with the house. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. The deck had a great view and the hot tub was always fun. The house had everything we needed. It was a home away from home. We had last minute guests show up and Anthony made sure that security let them in. He always was helpful and made the trip easy to plan. I will be renting from him again next year and would everyone interested in one of his properties.

bright, comfortable house

Guest: Denise S. (philadelphia, pa)
Date of Stay: 08/07/10 Review Submitted: 08/13/10

We only had 2 nights & were coming from different states, so we met at the lake of Hickory Run state park and then drove the 20-30 minutes to the house after the check-in time @ 4. the 4 BR's are downstairs w/ extra refrigerator, the upstairs has 1 MBR, the large open living/kitchen area and a big deck with the large hot tub. the upstairs had lots of windows, so it was nice & bright. the kitchen table was nice and large so we could all eat. my only minor complaint is that the 2nd bathroom is inside the MBR off the kitchen, so the 4 BR's downstairs generally share the 1 bathroom (unless the folks in the MBR aren't late risers or early-to-bed'ers & are willing to share) the deck area had plenty of comfortable seats and the large grill worked great the hot tub & the foosball table were big hits too! enjoy!

This is my 2nd time renting from the Lillo family and I'll certainly be back again! The home was comfortable, spacious, and in a great location. We saw lots of wildlife, which is always fun in the Poconos. Great deck and hot tub, we were out there every day! Close to shopping, casinos and lots to do, just a short drive away. Thanks again for a great experience Tony! We'll be back! The Basmajian Family

There were 14 of us spending the weekend and as soon as we walked in we fell in love with the layout of the house. The living room/kitchen/hangout area was great for a group as large as ours, we spent, if not all, except sleeping in that room. The upstairs was so spacious and the fireplace right in the middle of the room made it so nice and different. Overall experienCe was great and the ski slopes were only 20mins from the house.

Good spot for a skiing getaway with friends

Guest: Weekend Ski Trip (NY)
Date of Stay: 02/05/10 Review Submitted: 02/19/10

I rented this place with 15 of my friends for a weekend ski trip. The house is large and spacious and very close to Big Boulder or Jack Frost ski areas, and there was more than enough driveway space to accomodate six cars. There were two or three chairs that were slightly damaged when we got there and the foosball table was a bit wobbly (it looked like it had been repaired after the legs had been damaged), but overall the accomodations were very good. Tony was extremely friendly and accomodating for our party. The process for renting the house was very smooth and went along without any confusion whatsoever.

The house was amazing! The fireplace located in the main great room was the star of our trip. It was the perfect place for us to gather after our time on the mountain. The house was just as described and Tony was more then accommodating. I will be sure to rent this house again for next years Ski trip and I recommend you all do the same!

I cam down for a weekend with a group of family and friends. Tony was really so helpful in getting it all taken care of. The place was great -- we had lots of plans to go out and be active, but the rain kept us indoors a lot which we really enjoyed. It was a great fit for our group -- plenty of space, clean, and well maintained. We'll definitely come back to Tony and Deb.

We had a wonderful vacation. My husband, daughters and their boyfriends rented this house for a week. There were 10 of us. We wanted a big house where there was enough room for everyone. This house has so much space. Enough privacy for everyone. Aside from privacy, the house is beatutiful. Everything you may need is provided. The fireplace was exceptional as was the hot tub after skiing. The temperature at the beginning of the week was 0 - 7 degrees with snow. Very scenic, lots of wildlife. Close to the ski slopes and stores. Tony and Deborah were great to work with: really nice people. This is a fantastic vacation house for a group of people to get together. We highly recommend this rental and would rent it again.

Our first time to the Poconos. What a trip. We came from Florida and the rest of our family and friends came from Maine - Washington State and Connecticut. 10 of us, all told, had a fantastic Christmas. The House was so spacious that we weren't on top of one another even a capacity of 14 would have left so much room. The Deer roaming outside added to the touch of Christmas along with the snow. We certainly could not have picked a better Place. The House was so warm and comfortable ( more so with the fireplace ) even though the wind chill factor outside was minus 25 degrees. Fantastic time. Would do it again.

We had a very good time and able to spend time will friends as a family. The location is very quite and right from the kids to the elders as we all enjoyed our stay. Facilities are good and well maintained. Specially the Barbeque and the hot tub was great for everyone to enjoy. Moreover there are games for all ages and the internet to keep updated while on vacation. We are sure to plan again to visit the place whenever we have an opportunity.

If you're headed to the Poconos.... you have to check out this house and its very reasonable rental rates. This is the second time we've rented this house and we will do it again. The wood stove, hot tub, and the spacious deck are great. The back yard is big enough to have a good game of booce (bring your own if you can). The foosball table could use a "tune up." There are also 2 regrigerators which is perfect for larger crowds.

First time in the Poconos, came all the way from Michigan. Well worth it. The house was conveniently located to many of the things we wanted to do, including rafting on the Lehigh River, biking on the Lehigh River Gorge Trail, hiking in Hickory Run State Park, and shopping at the artsy shops in Jim Thorpe and the outlet places in Tannersville. Our children loved the hot tub and the community pool, and especially enjoyed riding their bikes around at dusk to see all the deer. A nice place to stay; would definitely rent here again.

We were a family of 14 comprised of senior citizens, parents, and young adults. Collectively, we had a fabulous time, so much so, that we are almost afraid to tell other folks that may find our "Shangrila." Among our ranks were business owners, middle school educators, high school principal and vice-principal, a military officer, and an asst. superintendent of schools who all desperately needed an oasis from stress and that's exactly what we got. Tony and Deborah were the consomate hosts and went out of their way to ensure our comfort. We are ready to resign on the dotted line for a return trip. The hot tub alone was worth it all, and the beautiful scenery was spectacular. All of the teachers give this trip an A plus!! Thanks for everything!!

What an absolutely wonderful house for a family vacation! We loved the spacious living area which gave us all plenty of room to spread out and read our books. Our week in August turned out to be rainy and cool so we had the fireplace going for 3 days and were cozy warm. The kids had a great time going in the hot tub. The deck is great with plenty of room to kick back and enjoy the view. We also had fun feeding the deer from the deck. There’s plenty of deck furniture plus outdoor games (nice bonus). The house is very clean and well kept and the homeowners are always on call if you have a question. I would highly recommend this house for vacation.
