Overall, a good stay

Nice cabin with lots of space. Location was very good; lots of deer around, but also close to town and lots of activities. There were a few minor things that could have been better, but again, an overall good experience.

Cozy home

Very nice community. House was very clean and well stocked with necessities. Baskets with the towels and shampoo, etc., on the beds were a nice touch. Wood stove and fire pit took the chili off an unfortunately rainy visit. Beach area was clean and well maintained. Lots of places to walk and enjoy the quiet and wildlife. Very relaxing.

Nice cozy place

Only downfall was when you first went in the door the ceramic tile was super slippery and should have something done with it. A few of us had to catch ourselves to not fall. Other than that is a great place.

Quiet And Lots Of Deer!

My son and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home was beautiful inside and out. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and were well stocked with everything we needed. The neighborhood was really quiet and we really enjoyed seeing all the deer! Communication with the host was excellent! The only things noted were the ice maker not working and grill grates were a bit rusty. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this home as an ideal getaway/vacation!

Nice Place

I really enjoyed my stay at this location. The property management was great. They helped me with any questions I had and were very informative. The neighborhood was beautiful as well as the house. I just wish the house was cleaner. It was dusty and we had to clean the grill in order to use it because it was dirty. Besides that everything else was good.

Peaceful Mountain Cabin

Comfortable cabin in the beautiful Pennsylvania mountains. Great for families because of the nearby lake for swimming and playground. Very close to Bushkill Falls and Hickory Run State Park. Do not suggest trying to work remotely from here because of the very weak wifi. Also, it can get very warm in the cabin if it's hot outside. I suggest getting ociliating fans or ceiling fans for all the bedrooms, otherwise it's too hot to sleep. We would definitely stay here again in cooler weather. Thank you!

Overall nice.

As someone else mentioned prior, there is no privacy at the front of house. No blinds on kitchen window or front door/side glass by door and on top floor. Place overall clean and acceptable. Be cautious of floor by arm chairs, sections of floor with large gaps that catch little kids feet between arm chair and tv. Plenty of kitchen silverware/dishes/pots/pans as well as linens. Arm chairs at fire pit the arm rests have broken off and are resting there, not affixed. Location is nice, very quiet.

Clean, cute and convenient

The house looks just like the pictures. It was really cute and looked clean and nice when we arrived. We had an issue unlocking the door and Dave responded immediately and helped out, so he’s very responsive! He left a s’mores kit for us too :). The game table was smaller than we thought and all in one (which I guess if we looked at the pics would have been obvious) so you can’t play more than one game at a time. It was just 2 of us so no issues for us! There was a cute lake with sand beach near by. They had kayaks and fishing. We walked around and the neighbors all waved and were friendly so it was a nice community feeling. A cute farmers market less then 10 mins away that had great stuff. All in all it was really quiet, nice and relaxing!

Nice getaway in the Poconos

Was looking for a house in a well-wooded neighborhood and got what I was looking for at a very reasonable price. This place would be great for families visiting with kids, as upstairs has plenty of space and games. Was just two of us, and we enjoyed comfortable downstairs. The beds are not the most comfortable queens, sagging a little in the middle, but will do. We came during 80+ degree summer days and no a/c, but fans and open windows were quite pleasant Neighborhood is great for walking and the lake looks like would be fun for fishing/canoeing. The swim area at the lake is small, but kids would likely enjoy it. Close proximity to the raceway, a casino, breweries & wineries made it a solid location for a getaway
