Nice getaway for a couple of days

We were greeted on arrival by the host, who was very accommodating throughout our stay. The house was inviting, comfortable and equipped with anything we needed. We tried several of the recommended eateries, and enjoyed each of them! Great place to stay if you’re looking for a house by the lake!

Amazing location, extremely regret not having more time at this property!

Perfect family stay

Our boys fished the entire day and night away catching and releasing! There was plenty of outddoor space for a family get together. We had great host that answered any question we had. The house is exactlly as shown in pictures. The "cozy sleeping area" is just as much a bedroom as the others. We visit p.a often as i have family there! We have found our new everytime stay!

Great lake house

The house was great. Everything you need is inside (pots, pans, utensils, cutlery, even a griddle for pancakes). The inside of the house was spotless. Outside- the multi level decks and outdoor grill were great for our fall getaway. The lake is viewable from the kitchen and sunroom. We used the fire pit on a chilly late October night and it was great. The owners are so nice and offer details of everything to do in the area. We will be visiting again next year.

Lakefront vacation

Originally, we were looking at rentals in the southern Poconos region but lakefront homes were out of our price range. After expanding the search criteria, we found this location and were thrilled. The property was exactly what we were looking for for our fishing vacation. The lake was well stocked and appeared very clean. The area is very remote so pack your food, although after some googling, I found a small grocery store called Zazzara's about 5-6 miles from the house. The owners had plenty of other supplies available, such as paper towels, tp, napkins, etc. My only critique is that the house could use a top to bottom, professional, deep cleaning. The kitchen, bathroom and carpets were cleaned but the house was very dusty with noticible cobwebs. My husband even cleaned out the filter for the window AC located in the back bedroom. Despite this, the positive outweighed the negatve

Comfortable Home

We were in town for a family wedding. This place is really close to a couple of wedding venues, including Birchtown Stables. The home is comfortable and has a gorgeous view of the lake. It is easy to find and there is plenty of parking in the driveway. As a group of 4 adults, we found we had plenty of space to spread out and be comfortable. We loved that there were more than enough towels provided for each person. The owners are super responsive. We had a smoke detector beeping because the battery needed to be changed. They immediately came out and even left extra batteries should we need any others. They told us they are adding laundry facilities this summer. That will make this home even better. We would definitely stay there again.

Beautiful retreat in a gorgeous location

We couldn't be happier with our stay, the property, or the host. The place was perfect and the host extraordinarily responsive and accommodating. The only complaint we have is that our stay was too short :). We'll rectify that next time!
