Thanks for the compliment, I love the fireplace too. Christopher was a great guest. He was respectful of the house rules and left the house in great shape. I would definitely give Christopher 5 stars as a guest and would love to host Christopher and his family again.

Great location

We enjoyed our stay and were happy with the accommodations. The location was central to all the sights we like to visit while in the area. The washer and dryer were a plus. The owner was quick to respond to messages and provided detailed information that was relevant to staying there. We would definitely stay here again!!

Perfect location. It’s a few minutes from where we could load our jet ski into the lake. Minutes from quick shops- take out food- quiet neighbors. We enjoyed our weekend stay! First time staying in the area. 10/10

Peaceful week close to the lake

We were able to book the trip at the last minute. Omar was extremely helpful and flexible. Excellent communications. Check-in process was smooth. The house was clean and has all the amenities we needed. Omar accommodated our request to check out a little later. Overall a very nice restful week. Will be staying again.

About the host

Host profile image
I am a native New Yorker in a creative field. It is my dream to live in the big city, but love to have the opportunity to go to the country.
I bought this house to do just that and also rent out for short term rentals.

Why they chose this property

I wanted a property that is close to all the best things around and is a year round destination.
Spring & Summer on Lake Wallenpaupak is a great time of year.
Summer being by the lake to enjoy the water, swimming & boating on those hot summer days.
Take in the Fall Foliage and small country towns. Plus all the Fall Festivals.
Hiking trails in the Pocono Mountains is a ideal for hikers
Skiing in the winter - The house is about 45 minutes away from 5 ski resorts.
Watch the trees bloom and days warm in the Spring.

So much more to do in the Poconos than the Catskills.

What makes this property unique

The house is in a wonderful area in the Poconos. There are great restaurants on this side of Lake Wallenpaupack. Close to quaint country towns, Jim Thorpe is a must see town. petting zoo, Wine Vineyards, Family Fun park, Casinos, golf courses, Bushkill Falls, the Delaware Water Gap rafting and hiking are just some of the activities that the Poconos has to offer all year round.
Plus, Mount Airy Casino is just 40 minutes away.
Award winning WoodLoch Spa & Resort is just 20 minutes away in Hawley, PA
