I read reviews that said the house wasn't spic and span but it's a 200 year old farm house! Nothing is perfect, unless you're staying here! I came away with stories, pictures, and beautiful memories! I would recommend locking the back door, unless you want a spooky story to tell your friends. Honestly, this was an amazing trip and the host was awesome!

Our host was very easy to communicate with, and quick with responses. The location was convenient and met our needs. The exterior of the house and yard was very unkempt. (Possibly due to weather?) We did, however, enjoy a nice walk around the land surrounding the property. There is limited access to the pond from the house. The interior of the house was clean, but didn't include many amenities. Plenty of towels are included though. There is a musty odor, but we contributed this to the fact that the farmhouse is two hundred years old, and has no downspouts to divert water away from the foundation. We had a major issue with pests, that needs to be addressed immediately. There were no visible signs, but sleeping comfortably was impossible. It was quiet and private and the rooms were very spacious. Overall, it worked for our family, and had all that we needed.

Family Bday Party

Great location. This stay allowed us to travel 20 min (instead of an hour both ways) to a family gathering in Damascus. The ability to bring our pets was a plus. The picture of the front porch was probably taken 1 - 2 years ago, it did not look this fresh.

Spring get together..

Enjoyed staying at Leonard's property for our annual fishing trip for the second year in row. Looking forward to doing it again next year. We loved cooking our catch on the grill as we watched the sunset. This is a great property and Leonard is a gracious host.

Great place for R & R

This 200 year old farmhouse is a little gem. It has some great features: Nice shaded porch with new grill, lots of new appliances and excellent WIFI and TV. Fishing was outstanding with small and largemouth bass giving us plenty of action, along with crappie and sunfish. Peaceful! Good dining spaces---indoor and out. Great place to bring a dog too.

Feels like a home away form home

In my family had such a good time up there. A nice relaxing Country House on the lake where my little one could run around with the dog and my older boys can go fishing. My wife and mother-in-law spent the time around the fire drinking wine on the porch and reminded them of their lake house from when they were children. Overall a great experience and I can't wait to go up there again.

Mission Accomplished!

We decided to stay here so we could give our pup a vacation from fireworks. Cabin was clean and comfortable. Only disappointment was that the grass wasn't cut (I do know that there was wet weather recently), but it wasn't the easiest of playtime with the dog.

My wife, dog and I came to this region of PA to catch some foliage and let our dog run off into the sunset since we reside in NYC. This sprawling space gives complete privacy, provides a rowboat and life vest(s) to do your thing on the lake, and the owner responds to any inquiries almost immediately. The property is just a beautiful as the surrounding area -- so stay put or explore -- deer and black bear passed through the property during our 3-day stay.Bring your fishing poles and enjoy this hilly, beautiful country, and property. If you love the outdoors awesome! If not, the wifi is great and the home is spacious and comfy with great climate control and multiple smart TVs.

We came here to enjoy some quality family time. Check in was a breeze, wifi worked great and easy to connect. Nice updated kitchen with everything you need. We loved the fire pit and rowboat.

Great Experience

We arrived at night which made it difficult to find the house due to the darkness. However, we were able to find it after contacting Leonard who then gave us a few landmarks to follow. House was just as in the pictures. Beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed the stars and firepit at night. We also enjoyed the quietness, even though there was a road nearby the noise of the cars passing was very minimum. Kitchen was equipped with the basics for quick meals. There was plenty of space for all four adults. House had central a/c. Will definitely consider staying again!

The house is every bit of 200 years old. There is not a straight line in the house. Crooked floors, ceilings, etc. However, despite the age of the house it was in good condition and the owner put a lot of effort into it to make it as nice as possible. It had new floors, TVs, beds, furniture, bathrooms, countertops, showers, washer, dryer, stove, microwave, etc. The kitchen was stocked well with a lot of new items. You just have to be prepared that it is a very old house. We moved the couches into an L shape, which made the family room much better for lounging and watching TV. The TV had all the available Apps for streaming. The internet also worked well. We went up for a long ski weekend. The house is located further off the road and there was some snow drifts that had covered the driveway. It would have been difficult to get through without an AWD vehicle. It had everything we needed and enjoyed our stay. I thought it was a bit expensive though considering the age of the house and due to it being the winter season.

Not everything is as it seems

Overall we enjoyed our stay. This was a getaway for my husband's birthday. The house itself was as expected, an old farmhouse nicely renovated. What wasn't expected is the very high grass all around the property, even difficult to walk down to where the boat was to fish. Three people were in the boat fishing when we arrived and when it started to really rain they finally came in. The chairs around the property were upside down, dirty, and sitting in the tall grass. And the website says it's cleaned and sanitized. No way was this place cleaned at all. Someone must have washed the towels recently because they were still wet in the dryer so we turned that on right away. I live in a 100 year old house and it's very clean so it was not the age that was the problem. It did not look like the owner was expecting anyone there. It was very disappointing to say the least, especially in light of all the good reviews we read on the website. A rental property should have the grass cut, the porch ready to sit on and relax and the house clean. Any cleaning fee the owner paid should be returned immediately. We would not want to rent here again.

I am very glad that the guest "Overall we enjoyed our stay" which is most important. Then the complaints started coming in. First off all the house was very clean and sanitized as per our protocol. It is hard to believe that they enjoyed their stay with a house that was not clean, which it was. It is true that the grass was not cut to normal height but it was caused by very inclement weather and a bad storm that lasted for almost a full week and did not allow us to mow. We mow every week. Simply put the grass was just not that high. And they are correct that there was someone fishing in a boat....but it was not the boat that if for exclusive use of the house. The lake is very private and totally on our property.. We own 2 houses on the lake( there are none others) and the boat was from the other house used by a guest in that house. the boat for their house was waiting for them. All our other reviews are excellent and that tells the real story.

Perfect for our group!

This house was perfect for what we needed! The large kitchen table allowed us all to sit around it to eat and to play games. It was such a cozy old farmhouse. It was close to Elk (about 25-30 minutes since roads were a bit snowy). There was a cute neighborhood bar/restaurant right down the street. Heat worked well (FYI there are two different thermostats for the different floors which we did not realize at first - dumb on our part). The only negatives were that the pipes in the upstairs bathroom froze while we were there, to no fault of the owners. It was cold as could be (like 2 degrees outside). The owner answered right away and gave us some suggestions, but unfortunately it was just too cold. It was fine for us since we had no set plans and could all share the downstairs bathroom, but if you know a large group of people need showers, just plan ahead in case it happens again. Only other thing is that we thought we would have the large property to ourselves. There were about 10 people that came and went to the lake on the property. We didn't mind, but they did walk very close to the house, causing our dog to constantly run around barking at them. Not a big deal since our dog calms down easily, but just as an FYI in case your dog does not like strangers or has anxiety. Very happy they allowed dogs! Our dog LOVED running around. We live in the city so this was a real treat for him. Since we weren't right by any roads, he could run freely. The price was perfect. It allowed a small group of us to spend a weekend away without breaking the bank. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks for sharing your home!

Hi We are glad that you enjoyed your stay at our home. Sorry about the freezing pipes and am glad it did not affect you too much. Actually the temperature that night was 10 below zero. We actually did insulate the pipe that got frozen so that will not happen again. The lake is private. I assume it was our neighbors who went fishing, not someone from out side.. And we are glad that your dog enjoyed the stay. We are very pet friendly. Welcome back anytime Leonard

Week with hurricane debby

Unfortunately we traveled & stayed during the peak of hurricane debby. When we arrived, someone was cleaning dirt (soil) away from inside front door. When the heavy rain came water came in under that door - few inches worth. Several times there was a pool of water in that hallway. Floors are so uneven/slanted that all of it stayed in that low spot thankfully. There were many large black flies in kitchen & kept coming in around a very loose window. I stuffed TP in the openings & they gradually stopped. There was an overwhelming smell of dampness & mustiness in house that never went away. House was surface clean. We cleaned the porch so we could use it. Chairs & table were filthy. There was an old Woodstove sitting by porch half-filled with beer cans. No point in complaining to host about these things. A rental @ this price should not be offered in this condition. My family is awesome & made the best of everything. We loved the property with the acreage & gorgeous lake. But-if I had arrived with young children, I would have left by 2nd day. Too many things to list here….but this home is in poor condition & with the amount of water that we had coming in & laying in hallway to door - I don’t think it’s safe. Leonard was a very nice man, but he actually asked us to write a good review for him. I really wish I could, but this place needs a lot of attention inside & out. Not many folks would be happy with the things we dealt with. Especially after what we paid.

We are sorry about this guest's unhappiness. But she arrived in the middle of a very strong hurricane which very rarely occurs. Our maintenance was on the scene immediately but the amount of water and strong wind really hampered cleanup. The house is 200 years old and most guests who stay there really realize the historic character of it which we work very hard to maintain.

You need to put some money into this place

Let me preface this with my background. I came from very poor country and lived in very poor conditions half my life. Stayed in one too many a roach motels. While i am sure that this location and lot has many positives, i was not able to see them because we had to leave and quickly as soon as we got there. I am not going to get into details because the main problems I had could have been due to very poor housekeeping. My #1 out of a litany of advice to the host who is the only reason why i gave this place more than 0 starts: Put more money into this place. Its a health and safety hazard. I had 5 kids with me. Your liability for them breaking their teeth on your top step and countless other pediatric hazards that wont pass new code, is very high in this property. If you own this home consider fixing it up beyond the bottom of the barrel handyman special you have now. It is evident by the thumbtack garbage bag in the ground bathroom window that you simply dont care enough considering the last negative review mentioned it prior. The mice/rat droppings were the reason we left. The countless other complaints were insignificant because i am used to them. It does not make it acceptable. I am no stranger to crappy living spaces. This experience cost me alot in time and money. The only reason you get above a 0 is because you are approachable and communicative.
