Family & Pet Retreat-2 Amazing Game Rooms-FencedYd-Pool-Beach-JimThorpe-Speedway
Thank you for considering My Vacation Property Rental (MVP Rental) for your upcoming trip to the Poconos. This was my family home until it was converted to a vacation property in 2023. I have owned and been hosting people at homes in this resort community since 2011. Over the years, across multiple properties, I have managed thousands of reservations and have gained the expertise to offer a relaxing retreat for both you and your pets.
Having multiple game rooms, a theater room area, multiple seating areas, TVs in all rooms, and large deck, there are spaces for everyone. Pet lovers will appreciate the fully fenced backyard which provides a safe space for dogs to play. The wire mesh fence extends from the top rail to the ground keeping your pets contained. There has never been a reported escape, though deer do jump the fence often to graze in the yard.
Thank you again, and please reach out if you have any questions. I’m happy to answer any you may have.

This was a great place for my 8 person bachelor party. The house worked by having multiple areas for people to relax and hang out. I would recommend staying at this property again. Thank you!
We had a wonderful stay! The house had all the amenities exactly as advertised and was spotless upon arrival. The fenced backyard was definitely a plus, especially for relaxing outdoors. My family and I had a great experience and would absolutely stay here again!
Great space with ample room for the dog to run around. Tons of activities in the house and very close to hiking and trails. Very quiet neighborhood with plenty of deer roaming around as well. All in all great property and experience.
Great place for a family with children or even a large group of grownups! So much fun games to play; beach/pool nearby & so many deer to watch. We had a great time!
Will made the check-in process very easy and the house was great. Enough space and plenty to do for a weekend with a group of friends including a dog and a toddler.
Everything was great! Very informative host. Kept in touch with when I needed help. Clean, comfortable stay. Adult children loved the game rooms and theater room. Nice home!
This house is great for an extended family trip. We had a really nice time. The house offers a lot with the extended game room upstairs. It’s a good location for Jim Thorpe, all of the nature trails and water parks.
Host was very welcoming - we arrived in the dark, and appreciated the lights were on for us. Really lovely and comfortable home with plenty of space for the 6 grown ups, 2 little girls baby. Appreciated the 'little things' - coffee, spices, dishwasher pods - and plenty of dishes and pots and pans to do some cooking and eating in. Wonderful fenced in backyard too. Great communication with the host. And the games were fun for all of us!

Thank you. Very happy you enjoyed your time at the home, and we'd love to have you back
It was like being at home. We brought some quick food to make and everything we needed was there. The wild life out side was crazy just to see all the deer so close. The game rooms were great and kept everyone entertained into the wee hours of the morning and the sleeping arrangements were perfect. Six of us and a toddler and 2 dogs and a puppy. We were all comfortable. This is a great place to book and not too far from Jim Thorp
Great location, very clean, lots of games to keep all ages occupied. Fully stocked kitchen, linens in all the rooms & even popcorn for the popcorn machine in the media roomroom!
We go to Pa every year to get family together and hang out. The kids loved all the games to chose from and play. Loved the movie area as well. My entire family enjoy our visit and stay.
The weather was not great during our stay and the gaming variety kept everyone busy. It’s the perfect balance if you want to relax and do some things around the area.
