We had a very pleasant stay. Jess, the host, was very communicative and accommodating. The house was very clean and had lots of character. Very kid friendly with lots of toys and games. Would highly recommend for a family weekend away.

Thank you, Adam! We are so happy you enjoyed your trip and welcome you back anytime.
The house is in a vacation community with pool and lakefront just a short distance away, plus the Lehigh gorge rail trail for biking a twelve minute drive, which makes for easy access to recreation. The owner was very responsive to questions as well. We had a “friend reunion” for a big birthday and it was a great way to mark the event with many memories.

We’re so happy you and your group enjoyed your stay! You’re welcome back any time!
The perfect spot if you are traveling with young children! The house was clean and in a great location. We were able to access multiple state parks for hiking adventures suitable for young kids as well as relax lake & poolside. The house itself was stocked with toys and games to keep all the kids occupied. The attention to detail that went into preparing the house so that renters could have smooth trip was impeccable. The owners thought of EVERYTHING. Small details including a snack basket made us feel welcomed. Communication from Jess was easy and accessible. Would definitely book again!

About the host
Hosted by Jessica D
Hi, we're a young family who has spent tons of time at our home away from home! We designed the house with multiple families in mind. We've never been able to find anywhere to stay where we felt like the kids were safe - beds were too high, outlets were uncovered and there were no gates in sight. We thought of everything we would want for our getaway and outfitted the home with what we believe are the essentials. We wanted this to be a place that kids and parents could relax and unwind!
Why they chose this property
This property is ideal for families who are looking to keep the kids entertained during the day and give the adults space to hang out after the kids go to bed. The main floor has a dedicated playroom with toys, books, a play tent and play couch. After the kids go to bed, adults can hang out in the basement which serves as a game room. The basement is complete with a wet bar, beverage fridge, shuffle board, air hockey table, smart TV and board games.
With our home, you'll also have access to various community amenities such as 2 lakes, a swimming pool, tennis courts, basketball courts, playgrounds and more. 10 badges are included in your stay.
