We appreciate you taking the time to review your stay and are so glad it was a positive experience for you. Hopefully you’ll be able to come back again!
The house was perfect for our girls weekend. amenities were great and the home was clean. The property manager was quick to respond when we had a question about the AC/heating system. Will stay again.
The accomdations were fantastic... beyond our expectations. The host was very communicative and helpful with our questions. There was many inside and outside activites available at the property. It was super peaceful and we saw wildlife daily. I would highly recommend this place.
The property is beautiful, peaceful and the perfect way to spend your time up there. We came up for a bachelorette trip and it was the most serene and peaceful place to be. Our bride to be was beyond happy and enjoyed her room as well as how close we were to the sunflower festival and how many games we could play at the house.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. It was a pleasure to host your group. It has been very disappointing with the lack of rain. We know this is a beautiful time of year to be able to use the fire pit. We hope you’re able to come again sometime and the weather will be more cooperative.
We are sorry to read that you were under the impression that you could not use the fireplace, there are not any restrictions on using the indoor fireplace, only outdoor fires are prohibited during a burn ban. We apologize if that was not clear, and for any inconvenience.
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. We enjoyed Blue Mountain Resort for skiing as well as taking a train ride on the Lehigh Gorge Scenic railway. Will definitely recommend to friends!! Was a great winter getaway with family!

Thank you so very much for taking the time to share your experience at Paul’s Place, and enjoyed so many of the aspects of our property that we do as well. We hope you’re able to come back and stay again!
It was a lovely stay in a very private wooded area. The hosts also had plenty of extras I'm not used to seeing in a vacation rental like plenty of paper products, plates, cups, cutlery and even disposable toothbrushes. We'd love to stay here again on our next visit to the area.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience, great to have you back. Hope you can plan another adventure and stay with us again!
This was our second visit at this lovely house. It was just as amazing this time as it was the first time. Super scenic, extremely serene, this place is the ultimate rental to just disconnect and relax. If you want to just relax in nature it will be hard to find a better place.

Paul’s Place was our last stop on our drive from Texas to Connecticut for our oldest son’s wedding. This place did not disappoint! Everything was absolutely perfect and amazing! Communication with Greg was so easy. I never had to wait for a response he was very on top of things. This will definitely be a go to for a family vacation in the future. Seeing all the wildlife was beautiful as well!
