We loved the house! Probably one of our favorites that we have stayed in while visiting the Poconos. Lots of space and privacy. The deck area was a family favorite. This house is part of the Arrowhead Lake Community and you have access to all amenities however it is not “behind the gates” of the community. It’s right outside the main entrance. This was not 100% clear in the property description. Overall, the house was very clean and was stocked well (hand soap, dish soap,shampoo, etc) I did however notice a dirty dish or 2 in the cabinets. I would definitely recommend this house and we’ll probably rent again in the future.

Thank you, Jennifer! We're so glad to hear this was one of your favorite stays in the Poconos and that the home offered plenty of space and privacy for your group. It's great to know the deck area was a hit and that the house was well-stocked for your needs. We appreciate your note about the location outside the gates and the dishware—we'll make sure to pass that along for clarity and housekeeping improvements. We'd love to host you again anytime!
Great place...with a little more attention to details
Beautiful property and site. Overall, we had a wonderful time. Quiet location and a charming "house in the woods". That said, while the hospitality details were appreciated some property and cleaning details were a bit lacking. Some examples:*Cleaning service missed a few obvious items - dirty dishes were put away in the cabinet; downstairs toilet was not cleaned & a soiled blanket was left out on the couch*Drain plug in master bathroom vanity leaked underneath - water pouring through when you tried to stop the sink. Cleaned it up ourselves.*New shelf in the master bath is a nice touch but finish the job- pls repair and paint the drywall anchor holes from the prior shelf.*Three butter knives in the entire house?*Deck needs a fresh coat of paint and will soon need a soft board replaced.Like I said, a beautiful place that would be a five star rating with a little bit more polish.
