Cute place! We weren't there much, but it was quiet sleeping and all we needed. I'm sure it would be fun in the summer if you had kids and wanted to be close to the park.We appreciated being able to make coffee in the morning. While there is no AC, there were fans and we were comfortable.

This was our second stay and it was just as peaceful as our first. We forgot something and didn't even realize it until Lynn very kindly reached out to let us know and sent it to us right away. (Thank you again, Lynn!) It's been hard to find availability, but hoping we get another chance to stay again soon!

This was a truly lovely stay. The space was clean, cozy, and full of thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home. The host had everything covered, and it was clear how much care went into creating such a welcoming place. We’d happily return, especially in warmer weather to take full advantage of the property and explore more of the area. We honestly couldn't have asked for a better stay.

About the host

Hosted by Lynn and Mark Volk

Host profile image
This home was purchased by my parents to use as a summer getaway from the city of Scranton. We hiked in the woods and swam in the larger of the two ponds when we were kids.

Why they chose this property

The property is large and rural. We enjoy being outside and breathing the fresh air. The screened-in porch offers the opportunity to do that without bugs.

What makes this property unique

Our rustic, but updated farmhouse had much to offer. It is located in a private location but close to parks, restaurants, shopping, ski slopes and golf courses. We have tried to think of everything that you would need. The house is complete with coffee and tea as well as personal care items like shampoo, conditioner and body wash.
