We have stayed at vacation rentals at least 3 time a year for 30 years and we have found our home away from home. Thie owner had everything that we could possibly imagine we would want or need. The home and property were beautiful! The owner put their heart and soul into this rental with nothing but their guest in mind. We will become frequent flyers to this amazing home. If you get a chance stay here, you will not regret it! Thank you for a wonderful stay and your kindness!

From the start to the end of our stay, we were wow'ed by this property. Aside from packing your clothes and a toothbrush, this place is STACKED with everything else you'd need for a trip. There are snacks, spices, board games, stuff for smores, wood and starters for the fire., kayaks, outdoor games...shall I go on? I shall...the garage is a freaking ARCADE! My boys had a blast in their kid room with a playstation. The weather was cruddy while we were there and we were bummed we'd not have anything to do, but between the games, movies, garage amusement park, we had a BLAST! Thank you Wendy, you have a gem of a property here!

Great Trip to Winterfest!

We just spent 3 nights here and it was lovely. Very close to downtown Jim Thorpe and the Winterfest activities, which was part of why we came. Wendy offered a lot of suggestions that helped with our trip. The neighborhood is wooded, quiet and right by the lake. The house is very clean, with a ton of amenities and really thoughtful small touches that make it extra fun. The gameroom was a highlight - the kids had a blast with all the options! It was great this time of year, with the big fireplace inside and a nice firepit outside, but I think it would be a wonderful summertime destination as well!

Perfect Getaway

A perfect setting in the woods of the beautiful Poconos. In the town of Jim Thorpe, where shopping quaint stores, or grabbing a bite at a restaurant are plentiful. During our visit we enjoyed the scenic train ride in a domed car, and attended a concert a Penns Peak. Loved the location and amenities this place has to offer. Saw deer in the morning and at night. The fireplace was wonderful to get cozy on a cold night. We also appreciated the unexpected treats! Wendy was a pleasure dealing with, very attentive.

The best VRBO we’ve ever stayed at

Wow, this VRBO is simply amazing!! We honestly couldn’t have asked for anything better. There was everything we needed plus more in the kitchen, bathrooms, etc. Lots of toys for our 2 year old to play with, lots of things for us to do and entertain ourselves. The decor was amazing, The host even decorated for my moms birthday and left a little birthday basket of goodies for her. Lastly, the host was very helpful with any and all questions I had. You will absolutely not regret this stay! 1,000% recommend! We will definitely be back!

Will come again!

Staying at this property was fantastic. The place is decorated so beautifully, it was like going to a warm cozy friends house. Wendy was very comunicative with us about checking in and finding what we needed. And the fireplace is divine! It was perfect for our get away vacation in the mountains. Much closer to Blue mountain ski resort than our house.

Fall Fun in Jim Thorpe

This home was perfect for our little family:) It’s located super close to Jim Thorpe downtown in a quiet lake community. Wendy, the property owner was very accommodating and even connected us to a local photographer for a fall Family photo shoot! The entire weekend was great fun, and this home was stocked-it had everything we needed. Our kids especially loved the Halloween sugar cookies there for the taking:)
