We stayed for 7 nights to visit family. The layout is as presented; furnishings are newer and in good condition as is the kitchen equipment. The kitchen is fully equipped for everyday meals. Wall mounted screens allow access to streaming services; the yard is fenced and comes with a fun game shed! The neighborhood and location in relation to the lake is very good. Two items that we had a problem with. The bed in the primary bedroom felt like one your son found in his dorm room, not very comfortable. The other item of note is that the home needs a good, deep cleaning. The service the owners use do a quick surface cleaning but don't appear to go beyond that. The windows, exterior doors, and floors throughout the home are the worst. If the owners clean it up and invest in a better frame/box spring and mattress for the primary suite, we'll be back.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Overall, this is a nice place and we consider staying again. Details like the game shed, fenced in backyard and puppy bowls and treats for furry friends set it apart. The yard is spacious. Pretty kid friendly and had basics for cooking. Also note that many restaurants around the area close pretty early and/or close several days a week, so something to consider. We traveled in the summertime so really peak season for the Poconos. If you're traveling in slower months, I imagine there might be even less options. Pros: It's quiet and secluded, so very relaxing. The space is ample so even with 5 people we didn't feel like we were on top of each other. Indoor and outdoor dining options - cute breakfast nook inside and picnic table outside. The fire pit gave a great vibe and gave us the perfect mix of outdoor (camp-like) experience with the comforts of home. The hosts did a great job of communicating directions and leaving helpful information in the house. And, as mentioned before, the fenced in backyard and game shed.Cons: Because of the secluded location, you really can't walk anywhere because everything is private property - so no morning strolls, you will need to get in the car and drive to one of the trails. The beds are uncomfortable. For rentals, it's pretty standard not have to the MOST comfortable beds, but these were worth noting. When using hot water the whole house rumbles (sure there's a reason, but just kind of odd). The cleanliness of the house was lacking.

Great place for a family stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this adorable property. The house was extremely clean and our teens loved the game shed and fire pit. This is a cute house in an up and coming neighborhood. Major plus it is close to both the boat launch and restaurants/breweries!

Peaceful property by the lake

This property was great! Clean and bright - everything seems new. This had everything we needed to relax; games, books, record player etc. Outside is even better, nice size yard that had a great firepit area - completely fenced so the dogs could run around. Loved the game shed in the back! Very quiet neighborhood but close to everything. Loved it and will be back.

Cozy Holiday Getaway

We were looking for a place to meet in the middle with enough room for all of us to spend the holidays together. The fenced yard was a big draw for the dogs. The host was very accommodating when challenges arose with the weather, lots of thoughtful little touches like the snow shovel outside where we could get it on arrival. We had a lovely time celebrating around the cozy fireplace. Close by grocery store for everything we needed.

From the moment I walked in the door and saw my name on the Chalkboard welcoming me. Matt is an outstanding host that has a beautiful home. The house is modern in every way. Kitchen, climate control. And beautifully decorated. Loaded with everything you need. Games, canoes, kayaks, and even a record player with a good collection of vinyls.
