The property was perfect for our weekend getaway. It was conveniently located close to the ski area which was our main reason for going. The house was perfect for our group!

Our stay at the lake house was extremely relaxing. The house was fully stocked and had everything we needed. The area is woodsy and the lake is tranquil.

A great time was had by all. The property was clean with a well stocked kitchen. The appliances all worked properly. The area was very quiet and the lake was very nice. Plenty of room for everyone, but we were still together. The check in and out process was easy and pleasant. Thank you!

Watch the deer from the deck or movies on the large screen tv. Large rooms and clean. Kitchen utensils, plates, etc. Could use replacement.

We appreciate your feedback regarding the kitchen utensils and plates, and we'll consider that for future improvements. We hope to welcome you back for another great stay soon!
We had a blast hanging out on the deck all night. The kitchen & dining area was stocked with everything we needed even though we brought our own stuff so we didn’t have to use the owners. House was very clean and had ample room for everyone. Quit are with lovely deer in the yard. Highly recommended

Avantstay is amazing! There was an issue with our original rental an hour before check in. Avantstay found us an amazing new house near our original rental. It was bigger, had an amazing kitchen and a pool table. We will definitely use Avantstay again!

versprochene freizeitangebote nur teilweise nutzbar.
Armbänder erst nach vier Tagen erhalten. Werden für See-Zugang benötigt. Immer wieder vertröstet worden. Schwimmen im See nur an überwachtem Strand in Stehtiefe möglich. Alles Überwacht und streng reglementiert. Haus ist älter aber für Familienurlaub ok. Pfannen sind sehr schlecht. Toll, dass Rehe und Füchse ans Haus kommen.

Your feedback is important, and we appreciate you sharing your experience with us so we can make improvements moving forward.
Our family fit so perfectly in this home which offered everything we needed!! Plenty of space to sleep, chill, enjoy the outdoors and feed the deer!! The kids were entertained with the ping pong table and the game console!! Just a perfect house for our vacation!!!
Enjoyed the amenities at the house and neighborhood. Close to activities.
There are bikes and kayaks in the pictures that gave the impression that they would be available for use.

Hi Jeanette! Thank you for staying! Welcome back anytime. :)
This house I rented for a ski weekend in the Poconos with my family was clean and spacious for guests. The house is as advertised and enjoyable for a good size family. The host goes out of their way to make this house welcoming for guests.

Hi Phil! Thank you for staying with us. We would love to host you again in the future! :)
This was a comfortable place to stay for a family of eight. We enjoyed the proximity to Jim Thorpe and Lake Harmony. The house had many of the amenities that we needed to cook and relax. The beds were very comfortable, nice water pressure and ample hot water. The community is cute and the kids enjoyed the game room. I wish that we had been able to use the kayaks and bikes that were photographed in the listing. That was a bummer.

Fantastic experience renting this property, wonderful home feel with the hosts going above and beyond. After long days being tourists in the Poconos it was great to have such an amazing property to come back to, relax, sit by the gas fire, and observe nature and the wild life.

This was one of the few best places I've ever stayed in the Poconos. You literally can see deer's walking around all over the year from your bed. The house was clean and well-organized, highly family-friendly. The house is well stocked with cleaning products, and kitchenware. The host shared the necessary information comprehensively and well in advance, communicated in a prompt manner, and offered to make up to the original offer in case minor mistakes may have been made. I visited with four families that included 4 kids (5-14 yo). All of us left feeling well recharged and wanting to come back to the same place. Highly recommended!
