Great weekend getaway

Our large group was very happy with our stay. Multiple individuals commented on how clean the property was. We had plenty of bedrooms for all the families needed and were happy we included the linens in our rental. Ralph was so easy to work with and was extremely responsive, even though we did not need anything during our stay and had no issues.

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful home in Jim Thorpe for a couples getaway weekend. The location was ideal—just a short drive to both the town and our whitewater rafting spot. The house itself had everything we needed and more: a spacious open layout, a relaxing hot tub, a huge game room that kept us entertained, and even an EV charger, which was a major plus. The owner was extremely accommodating and easy to reach with any questions. We also really appreciated the option to rent towels and sheets for an extra fee—it was a convenient touch that made packing easier. Would definitely stay here again!

First Lake Experience

We had a great time. The house is just wonderful. Clean and has literally everything you need. Every time we would say "they probably don't have this but we will check" they did have it. We were amazed. We have never stayed at a house before that had so much both in amenities and anything you would want in a kitchen. We especially liked the fire pit and hot tub.

Great house

The house was clean and organized. Well stocked kitchen (loved the labels everywhere!), plenty of beds and bathrooms, great game room (the kids had a blast) that is well maintained, and we loved the hot tub. We went skiing at blue mountain and it was only 30 minutes away. Really easy to get to. Overall this house was amazing and we highly recommend.

Poconos Weekend

We had a spectacular time in this gorgeous, spacious, well-appointed, and organized home. Notwithstanding its proximity to Jim Thorpe, the home was incredibly easy to find and had a host of amenities for us to enjoy (pool table, hot tub, multiple TVs, fire pit, PacMan machine). Not a moment was wasted exploring the immediate area and we saw an abundance of deer roaming around. You owe it to yourself to rent this Poconos home. Life is too short!

End of school vacation

This property is beautiful!! The house was very clean. We loved the hot tub in the cool temps each night. The game room was alot of fun. It gave us something else to do besides watch movies at night. Its not a far drive from Jim Thorpe. The kayaks and canoes were great on the lake despite the cooler temps. We had a couple problems but the host responded very quickly and went out of his way to rectify them. He also was able to accommodate an early check in which we really appreciated! We enjoyed our stay!! I would highly recommend this place. It is definitely a wonderful house to vacation in!

Beautiful Brand New Mountain Home!

This house is gorgeous! New construction and extremely spacious. The deck is great and propane fire pit is easy to use and perfect for a nighttime hangout spot. Wish we could’ve stayed longer and we’ll definitely consider returning in the future. It’s stocked with spices, kitchen supplies, soaps, and laundry detergent which was a plus, too. We left something of ours after our stay and the homeowner shipped it to us quickly and packaged with care. The only downside in our opinion is the misrepresentation of the air conditioning. There is a wall unit in the kitchen and it just doesn’t keep the bedrooms and baths cool enough on summer days. Looking at the listing, I was under the impression it was fully air conditioned. Many people probably rent in the cooler months, so this is likely a non issue for most.
