Our stay was great. Air conditioning would have helped on the humid days. The house description included that it was handicap accessible. Ramp is too steep, no handrails in the bathrooms, and also no handrail leading to the sunken living room.

We had a great long weekend celebrating a 50th birthday. The house had everything we needed. We enjoyed afternoons in the hot tub and evenings by the fire pit or by the fire in the living room. Beds were comfortable. Will definitely be looking to book again but bringing our teenage children to enjoy the lake and area.

This house was perfect for a larger group of friends. Plenty of beds, a roomy living room, and a fire pit out back. Was a short ride into Scranton and breweries. You will have to bring your own sheets, towels, and toiletries though, but they were upfront about that. We very much enjoyed our stay.

The house was very nice! Host very attentive! A few things needed some attention like light bulbs needed replacing, front porch light sensors need to come on faster, hot tub water was dirty and unfortunately our last day we found bed bugs!

Response from VrboOwner on 24 Nov 2025
Heather - after receiving your call we immediately called Terminix to come in to assess the house. They reported no evidence of any bedbugs (dead or alive). Out of an abundance of caution we requested they treat the house anyway. We also replaced all bedding including mattress and box spring protectors. We sincerely apologize for any discomfort you experienced.

This Poconos house was an excellent choice for our family trip of 11 people. 6 adults, 5 teenagers and our Bernedoodle. The house was nestled in the woods on a river between two lakes. The shade of the pines kept the area and home nice and cool. The house does not have AC but really not needed. There were plenty of ceiling fans and floor fans if you needed them. The house was very spacious and had a newly updated kitchen and newer floors. There was plenty of games, cards and books available to use. The walk out basement was a haven for our teenagers. Pool table, ping pong, basket ball shooting games, darts and a foosball table were available for the kids to play. As well as a tv that our kids easily set up an xbox on. The walk out basement led to a large, clean hot tub and a nice fire pit area that we used several times. 3 full bathrooms with jacuzzi tub and sauna in the master. Laundry facilities in the basement bath was a nice amenity cause you know, kids. There is a huge back deck that is large enough to set up corn hole and a nice grill to use. One of the best part of renting this home the amount of wild life we saw every day. Pretty much had coffee every morning with the locals (the deer). The surrounding area had plenty for us to do and many places were dog friendly. The owners were very quick to respond from start to finish of our vacation. We would definitely go back!

We had a wonderful stay in your beautiful home. Very spacious, with open living space, and plenty of separate space for quiet. Owners thought of so many things to make it convenient and homey. Loved using the canoe with direct access to the lake. Can't wait to come back.

Layout was perfect for our group of 6 adults and 5 children 3 and under. However, the property itself is very dated and seems like very little has been done to improve it over the years.
