Our stay was absolutely incredible. The property was peaceful, relaxing, and truly felt like a home away from home. Everything we could possibly need was right there—from the fully stocked kitchen to all the little touches that made it extra comfortable. I stayed with three teens who couldn’t get enough of the game room and hot tub, and even my young daughter was completely entertained throughout the trip. We didn’t want to leave! Highly recommend this place for families or anyone looking for a stress-free getaway.

Thank you so much for the kind words! You were great guests—respectful, communicative, and left the place in excellent condition. We'd be happy to host you again anytime!
We had an amazing stay at Nataliya’s house in the Poconos! It was the perfect getaway for our group of friends. The house was cozy and impeccably clean, with everything we needed for a relaxing weekend.Nataliya thought of every detail to make our stay comfortable, and her communication was quick and helpful.

Uliana your team were absolutely amazing guests! Thank you for leaving the house so clean—it was a pleasure hosting you. I would love to welcome you back anytime. Thank you for taking such great care of my house!
The place was very clean and had everything needed that we didn't think of bringing or forgot to bring. The host was very nice and responded quickly to any questions I had prior to arriving. There is a beautiful deck that we would have loved to use but it rained during our stay. I would highly recommend to a family or couples looking to get away to the area.

Erica was a wonderful guest—very communicative, respectful, and thoughtful. She left the place sparkling clean and followed all the house rules. Thank you so much for being such a fantastic guest! It was truly a pleasure hosting you, and I really appreciate how well you took care of the house. I’d love to welcome you back anytime!
Everything was very nice. House was very clean. There were eight of us. It was a little bit tight in the living spaces but considering we were doing it to get together as a family it was fine. We had some trouble because we had a 2 1/2 year-old with us and there were a lot of knickknacks everywhere and no place really to put them up or away also it left very little room to put our belongings. I would rent it again, but maybe not with a small child or I would at least ask for them to put up some of the knickknacks so we could worry a little less about things getting messed up.
The hot tub was very nice, the air hockey table was fun for the kiddos, we had one bed that was broke when we arrived but it was repaired quickly. One of the rooms had a very horrible strong odor and even with the bed fixed we couldn’t force ourselves to stay in there. The King size bed is upstairs in a loft and there is no door, it’s open to the living/dining/kitchen area. It was a nice quiet neighborhood. We don’t care for having to drive a couple streets over to take the trash because there were no outside bins at the location and the dumpster you had to take it to is only open during certain hours of the day. When you have 8 people there can be a good bit of garbage. Overall, we had a good stay. We went to Jack Frost, Camelback, Aquatopia, and Blue Mountain and the Tannersville Premium Outlets! All of those were awesome!
Loved that house! And housekeeper! Wonderful place.
