The house was very clean, we liked that it included the bed linens and towels. There were 6 of us staying for the weekend, we enjoyed ourselves. We were hoping the weather would have been warmer to enjoy the pool, we went in, was a little cold.

This is the second summer that we rented this house in the Poconos and we look forward to going back again next summer. The kitchen is well equipped with plenty of dishes and utensils and a large dining table as well as a nice outside deck. The house was very clean and there are 2 nice sized bathrooms, one on each floor. The 3 bedrooms on the second floor were oversized and there was also a bedroom on the main floor which was perfect for my elderly mother. Thank you, Charles for helping us accommodate four generations of family

5 Stars – A Perfect Getaway We had an absolutely wonderful stay. The house was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The rooms were spacious and cozy, and the kitchen was fully stocked with all the essentials for cooking meals at home and the BBQ grill was easy to use.One of our favorite features was the peaceful location—tucked away in a quiet neighborhood but still close enough drive to local shops and attractions. The back patio and scenic views made for perfect mornings with coffee and peaceful evenings watching the sunset. The kids will enjoy the pool.The hosts were incredibly responsive and friendly, making check-in and communication seamless. You can tell they really care about making their guests feel at home.Whether you're looking for a weekend retreat or a longer stay, this home is a gem. We’ll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

House was clean overall. Smelled nice throughout. Kitchen floor was sticky in areas. Couch was comfortable! Big dining table. Kitchen supplies adequate. Deck furniture was nice, but the zero gravity chairs are in need of replacement. The gazebo pictured with the fire pit is false advertising & is now a cantilever umbrella. The fire pit was nice. The lounge cushions were okay, kinda flat & smelled funny. The ladder to the pool was loose & seemed a bit unsafe. Unfortunately the pool water was green & icky, despite a cleaning dispenser floating in the pool. The liner in the bottom was also wrinkled in a lot of areas. Some of the solar lights didn’t work & the deck itself could probably use more. The grill shown in the picture is different than what’s there; it’s a Weber which is nice. Bring extra TP!! The bathrooms only had 2 rolls- 1 on the spools & 1 extra. The upstairs bathroom smelled musty. 2 towels each provided. There’s no shower mat to step out on, so use a towel. The bulb in the lamp of the bedroom with 2 beds didn’t work & was wobbly. You have to be tall to pull the chain on the ceiling fan light. Pictures of the couple are in the living room & bedrooms, which we found kinda creepy; to each their own. The 1 plastic serving dish in the cupboard of the kitchen island is cracked in spots. AC was adequate. We took our trash home due to the 25 fee to have them dispose of it. Host was pleasant.

Family Reunion

I booked this house for an extended weekend (Thursday through Tuesday) so that my immediate family could stay close to my extended family during a family reunion while we still had our own space to come back to and relax. The house was perfect for our needs and was clean and had everything we needed, including a well equipped kitchen with nice glasses and dishes, which several houses we rented in previous years were lacking. We were pleased that there were enough comfortable beds and all the linens were supplied. The outdoor patio area was very nice; however we did not use the pool or the facilities at Emerald Lakes, due to spending most of our time at another community with family. I will definitely look into renting this house again when planning future family gatherings.
