We had a wonderful stay here and the communication with the owners was outstanding for any concerns we may have had. Great little place for my husband and I to stay while looking around for potential areas to relocate to from Colorado.

Grat location, especially if you are there for Pocono race track. Nice little house in great area with an access to the lake. Another great attraction that it's only 30 min away from Jim Thorpe.

We had the best weekend staying at this cottage with. The cottage is very cute, comfy and clean. a major plus too is that it is pet friendly so you can bring your fur-babies with you. Also, it is well equipped with things you may need from games, kitchen items, dog bowls and leashes, towels, sheets, etc. We highly recommend this property. We will definitely be renting this cottage again.

Great winter weekend getaway!

Our family of 4 had a great weekend stay for skiing at Jack Frost and watching movies by the fire. Extra bonus to be able to bring our golden and have a nice hike to Hawk Falls before heading home. Thanks for sharing your home!

Overall nice

Place is in a nice area and was nice for the weekend. Dishes were dirty from last guests and grill needs some maintenance - seemed like a fire hazard.

Great experience!

This is the second time we’ve stayed, both times for the holidays. We could comfortably accommodate the 4 adults/teens in the two bedrooms. The already plowed/shoveled driveway and salted steps/ porch was so greatly appreciated. Would definitely stay again!!

We had an incredible stay! Clean, well equipped, and excellent location! Definitely would stay again

The property was exactly as described, including a beautifully remodeled bathroom. The driveway was plowed upon our arrival as well as having a shovel and pet friendly ice melt right near the door. We could not have asked for a better experience!

Good location for my dog because we like to walk long distances. Place needs a good clean up from top to bottom. There was no rock salt available.

Nice quiet place

The house is small but it’s quaint and clean. There’s a nice area behind the house to walk around in a little wooded area for your dogs; however if you’re looking for endless-like space, there are houses close by. It was very peaceful and Lake Harmony is only a ten minute drive. That’s where some restaurants are located. Overall it was a great place to getaway. I’d go there again

Pocono Stay

The bungalow was nice. The communication with the host was good. The bungalow could have been cleaner. There was a lot of pet hair. The grill wasn't cleaned and fire pit area was messy.

Hi Jackie, we want our guests to enjoy every part of their stay, and we’re glad to hear you enjoyed the bungalow and had good communication with the host. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and we wanted to share the following:- The furniture in the home was recently replaced, and the unit was thoroughly vacuumed prior to your arrival.- While no pets have been in the unit, we’ll continue to monitor and ensure the highest cleanliness standards are maintained.- The fire pit area may have been affected by the recent rain leading up to your stay, and the homeowner will continue to monitor the outdoor areas to help maintain their condition.- The grill is cleaned regularly as part of the home’s cleaning routine, and the homeowner has plans to replace it shortly.Thanks for taking the time to leave your review!

Great Property

Everything from check in to check out was excellent. The home was nice, perfect for our family. Dog friendly which is a must for us! Rooms were just right, everything was as described! Nice deck to hang out and cook dinner on the grill at night. Also watching the wildlife around the home as we had deer almost every day! We fully enjoyed the cool nights in the middle of the summer! Kitchen size worked well for a week trip, plenty of room in the refrigerator. Rest of appliances looked pretty new and all worked well! Internet was TMobile cellular and worked. Bedrooms were just right. Very happy with our stay.
