We had a wonderful stay and really enjoyed time with our family. Our trip included visiting the Pocono Raceway and the location was perfect. Also loved not being in a gated community, we could come and go with ease. The home was exactly as described. The host was great to work with, responsive, and made everything easy. The hot tub was a great added amenity. We would happily stay here again.

Average stay, nice area

I wish we had knew a few more things about the stay before we booked. It was nice and spacious but a few things stood out as reasons we were glad we only had two nights there. Firstly, upon open the door at check in, immediately we were hit with overwhelming fried food smell, like fish or bacon and this smell lasted the entire time. Secondly, if I knew there were only floor and window AC units, I personally wouldn’t have booked here for the summer. The individual AC units were VERY loud, I had to sleep with earplugs which was frustrating being that we were in a semi remote spot. The place had lots of cool perks, we didn’t really use but still nice. There were no cutting knives we noticed. It was just a little more outdated than the listing seemed to present, so overall this was just an average experience.
