Wonderful New Years stay!

We had a wonderful time here, the house is perfect for a big gathering of friends and family looking to relax and catch up. We loved the hot tub and theater room, and all the bedrooms were comfortable and clean.

Motorcycle run week with friends.

Beautiful property and location to spend the week with friends riding our motorcycles on different runs every day. At night we made dinner at the house and sat outside by the fire pit enjoying music and the beautiful evening. Would highly recommend this property to anyone.

Clan Gathering

The Mansion and yard was large enough to accommodate our Families sleep, dining, gathering, privacy, personal space needs. The furnishings are beautiful and grand. Some new pans for cooking would be appreciated and mattress toppers would help with the older mattresses for better comfort.

Excellent Repeat Stay

This was our group's second year staying at this property. 8 adults were in our party, and the space can easily accommodate several more comfortably. The bedrooms provide ample room to relax privately, while the many dining spaces and lounge areas allow for fun times with the whole group. The theater in the basement also provides hours of entertainment. Very highly recommended!

Beyond AMAZING!

I don’t even know where to begin. This house and property were absolutely perfect. The attention to detail in the decor was astounding. Stunning antiques, comfortable furniture, perfection. The private movie theater was perfect for a cozy movie night. The giant hot tub was twice the size of a regular large one - you could literally swim in it. The barn was spacious and gorgeous, perfect for our pumpkin carving and painting / crafting. The house had a calming energy that brought everyone so much joy. The kitchen was massive and had two sinks, two ovens and two dishwashers, which was great for us as our group loves to cook. The owners were such a delight to work with. Des was always so communicative / responsive and made our stay so special, including leaving us chips, salsa, wine and a thoughtful card upon our arrival. There was also a fire pit which we sadly didn’t get to use much because of the weather but was in the perfect place. The house and yard are large and spacious, perfect for our big group for everyone to sleep and hang out comfortably. This is also an ideal space for events, parties, weddings, etc as the barn could easily hold many more folks than we had. The check in / out process was so smooth and easy. We cannot wait to come back to this stunning property and cannot recommend it enough! We rent a lot and this is by far the best experience we’ve ever had. A weekend was not long enough - I hope we can stay longer next time!

The Pictures Don't Do Justice to This Beautiful Home!

Firstly, this home is gorgeous! You will be blown away when you see it in person. And if you're into cooking you will LOVE the kitchen! OMG! The house itself is spacious, it's very clean, including the many bathrooms and it sits on a beautiful property. The beds and bedding are especially comfy! We all slept so good. The theater room is extremely impressive with surround sound and individual reclining seats! As before, the property is beautiful and well manicured. Lots of yard space equipped with a volleyball ball setup. Now this was really right up our alley because we were planning to bring our own volleyball net. So a pleasant and happy surprise. We had so much fun outdoors. And the grill came in handy as we barbecue'd the evening away. Oh and let me not forget we utilized the pool room as well. And the front porch was something special too. It's super big, had a nice view and it's equipped with speakers! I mean c'mon! Our host Des was amazing as well. He answers texts and phone calls immediately. Would we book this home against? 100% YES!!!

Literally the Best Property We've Ever Stayed At

The title really says it all. My friends and I (all middle aged professionals) have been getting together every year in the Poconos for two decades. This is quite literally the nicest place we've stayed. One member of our group said it best: "they managed to modernize the property without sacrificing the vintage feel." Every member of our party (8 total) had a comfortable room with adequate space. The common areas were extremely relaxing and allowed us to really unwind. Swim Spa was absolutely amazing. The kitchen provided all the amenities we needed to prepare meals for the entire (hungry) group. Highly recommended for literally any group looking to get away and decompress for a few days.

Fantastic House and Hosts

Our group, consisting of three families with five children between the ages of 5 months and five years, had a fabulous time at this house Presidents Weekend. The house is exactly how it’s pictured on the virtual tour. We cooked all of our meals in the well appointed kitchen, spent a lot of time watching movies in the theater (streaming EVERYTHING!), played pool on the enclosed porch, and just relaxed in the other comforts of the home. The house was perfectly clean when we arrived and Des and Fiola could not have been more gracious hosts— checking in and responding right away with any questions. We look forward to returning to this house again!
