SOME OF OUR FAVORITE GUEST REVIEWS:

"This was a great family get away. It's hard to travel with young kids, but the playroom in the house was the perfect "childproof" zone! The house was in a beautiful setting, you could hear the creek running by as you sat on the deck. The host was great, and we will absolutely stay with them again!" - Kelly C

"Highly recommend. Pictures don’t do the outside view justice. Hosts are we clearly pros and the place was in excellent shape, very clean and really excellent overall" - Ashley S

"This was my first time booking and this place really exceeded my expectations. The hosts were reliable and answered any questions i had in a timely manner. Getting through the security gate was not a problem. This place was clean and had everything you need to keep a family or group of friends entertained. The place was exactly as shown in the photos. This is a great place if you have kids, my kids really loved the place. The home has a very comfortable setting that makes you feel as if your at home. I would definitely book this place again if i wanted a getaway out in the poconos." - Peter R
