Nice, Roomy, and Comfortable

House was nice and comfortable. Lots of lighting and room. Did smell like wet dog when we arrived but with the house being pet friendly that could be expected. Scenic and quiet back deck. Nice and calming hearing the creek. Backing out on the road was a little tricky but one of us went on the road and waved the driver when it was safe to back out.

Mixed Review

For the history lover, this house is in a good location. Lots of State parks and historic towns to browse., shop and eat at. South Mountain Creamery is fun to visit! Great ice cream! However, it could have been cleaned better. The parking is a tight area that is next to a road on a hill that cars and trucks go buzzy by. There are big bushes that obstruct your view. You have to inch out a little to check for a clearing to pull out. TV service was interrupted several times. The couch was very uncomfortable.

Poplar place lodging

Overall we had a nice stay at Poplar Place. The only drawback was the amount of furniture in the living area and the comfort level which it provided. It would be nice to have a few recliners or a more comfortable sofa but overall it all worked out.

Fun Area, Misleading Listing

This house was very clean (noticeably, the linens were very clean/new). After our trip, my friends and I had multiple discussions about what was worth noting here and felt that it was only fair to let future renters know a few things. 1) This rental does not feel private. There is a rental in the basement level of this house and you can hear EVERYTHING. It says the door to the basement has an alarm system, but it has no apparent lock? None of my friends brought their kids along, but they noted that their kids would have definitely "tested" this door. 2) As a second note, the stairs to the second floor are very unsafe, uneven, and steep (also an issue for kids worth noting). 3) The property also lists that you are able to bring a dog with an additional fee, but the yard is shared with 2 other properties that also allow pets (worth noting if your dog doesn't like other dogs). 4) Lastly, the interior of the house has a smell to it that is being masked with A LOT of air freshener - if you have allergies, this is not the property for you! All that being said the location was very convenient and we enjoyed the view off the back porch - just want to give an honest review so that future renters have all the information to make their decision!

Bright and cozy Cabin

We loved this Cabin inside and out! Has some noise during the day, trucks and cars going by close to the cabin, but we got used to it and the nights were quite and star lit!! We enjoyed the sound of the creek while sipping wine on the back deck. Nice soft warm blankets were available for curling up on the couch with hot chocolate and a movie. The creamery is a must, and breakfast at Dempsey's!!!

July 4th Vacation

We found The Poplar House a perfect place for our needs. It is a beautiful property and the house is cozy and comfortable. It is within easy access to parks, battlegrounds, historic towns, wineries, breweries, etc. We enjoyed our stay immensely and we hope to book it again in the fall. (We were a party of 3 for most of our stay and had a 4th person for two nights. We all slept well and had more than enough room. )

Great place

We had a very nice stay. The location is very close to so many things. The place is nicely lit and seemed to be newly renovated. The linens were high quality.
