Leonard was a great host and accommodated us by letting us book last minute after our vehicle broke down. He was very fast to communicate. The house and the surrounding land are great, especially if you are traveling with a pet. We couldn't have asked for a better stay, especially with our unexpected situation.

We wanted to “get away” and this place was perfect…plenty of room, lots of privacy, dog-friendly (of course we brought our pug, Rosie!), and beautiful views! We enjoyed a campfire each night in the stunning outside space. Our host, Leonard, was helpful and responded immediately to any questions we had. A great experience!

Second stay here. Leonard is a very good guy. He's available to you at a moment notice. If something is wrong he is very apologetic and trys to fix the situation. But at the same time leaves you alone to enjoy your stay. And there's some really neat stores in town. Plus the wildlife is right there for you to see. And the scenery is awesome.

What’s there to say we never got to stay there we returned back home, the places desperate need of repairs the place is unsafe it smelled like mildew anyone with allergy or any condition will have problems its a place to be . There’s a hole in the kitchen floor with a soft spot, carpeting, old and buckled up and safe possible trip and fall situation, the deck needs of maintenance as far as replace wood and paint. cleanness needs plenty of . Bathroom needs work ! Outside steps into the house need to be repair. There was garbage around the property , exterior of the home had algae growth ! We called the host who was rude and disrespectful when we asked for refund after explaining the conditions, he said no way and hung up the phone . Not a pleasant situation I will not recommend this property to no one. This property should be taken down on Vrbo .

We had an excellent stay at this property in Honesdale with our family of four and our dog. The grounds were beautiful and spacious, perfect for morning walks and relaxing evenings on the deck overlooking the water. The home was clean and well-equipped for a comfortable stay. If you're planning to cook or bake, consider bringing some disposable foil cookware—easy to grab from a nearby grocery store.Leonard, the host, was incredibly responsive and helpful, with clear directions and great local tips. The location was ideal—close to hiking trails, the town of Honesdale, and other charming nearby spots. The property exceeded our expectations, and we’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway.
