Communication was excellent with quick response from property manager. Internet service was very good with no dropped connections during 7 days. Property had kayaks, oars, and life jackets on site and was within walking distance of lake which delighted our outdoor family! Tennis rackets and other outdoor equipment provided recreation for energized teenagers! The property was clean and supplied basic necessities! The wildlife were plentiful and enhanced the view while walking the area!

The house was lovely with good space. However while listed pet friendly it was not pet safe for our puppy who puts things in his mouth. The driveway stones, rocks on property, and sticks on lawn meant we could not have our puppy outside.

Response from VrboOwner on 18 Jun, 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the home and its spacious layout. As a mountain property in the Poconos, our yard and surrounding wooded areas naturally contain stones, sticks, pinecones, and other outdoor elements common to the region. While we welcome pets, owners should expect a natural outdoor environment and supervise pets accordingly. We appreciate your stay and hope to host you again in the future.

Overall, a great place to stay. It's in a community with a lot of restrictions, so I'd definitely classify this as a more chill location, not a mountain party house (and thats just what we were looking for). Nice place, had everything we needed, easy in and out. The 2 downstairs bedrooms are very nice, and my daughter loved the loft bedroom (there are 2 other beds in the loft are very basic singles that would work for additional guests as well).Some things to remember if booking in the summer, no AC downstairs (at least we could not find it). Was a little stuffy until it cooled off at night, we slept with the windows open. There is an AC unit upstairs and that works really well for the loft. Bring your own Shampoo/Conditioner/Soaps. Some places have these for you, this one does not. Even though this is in a community with lots of rules, not everyone is going to abide by that, ie the neighboring house (not sure if residents or other VRBOers) partied well into the morning (as in 4:30am...) with music. Can't control that, but it was not expected. Cleanliness wise, overall it was clean, but our comforter in one bedroom had a stain on it that was pretty gross and we didn't use it, and many of the towels just look dirty... There are plenty of towels offered, so we just pick and chose what ones to use as needed, but again, that wasn't expected.Overall, still a 9/10 and would stay there again if it's an option when needed.
