Wonderful Vacation Spot

The home is lovely, very clean, so much room, very comfortable beds and furniture! The check in was super quick and easy, and the young woman at the desk was very friendly. The community was very quiet and peaceful. The owners have made sure you have everything you need from a coffee bar, grill, fire pit, and endless entertainment for the kids! The mini golf, arcade games and so much more, kept them busy and happy for sure! We loved sitting on the deck for morning coffee and the screened in porch with the long dining table was perfect every evening for dinner. There were 6 adults and 2 children in our group and we had more than enough room for everyone to enjoy. We went to the lake/beach & pool every morning (guest passes included) and used the kayaks, canoes and petal boat every afternoon! The owner was very nice, and answered any questions right away. You can’t go wrong with booking your stay at Willow’s Way!

Fun Times at Willows Place in the Poconos

Even better than advertised. Numerous things to do on the home's property and within the community it sits in. Only one hour from Scranton and countless waterfalls and hiking trails. All ages from 2 to 67 said it was one of the best home rentals we have vacationed at.Manager and owner were both prompt at returning texts with useful info and responses. A

This place reminded me of home away from home very charming place lots to do game room was a huge hit with all ages. We especially loved the huge family table inside the side porch for meals and family game nights to bring us all together. The fire pit put back accompanied by horseshoes and mini golf was a huge hit as well. Check in was so easy and reaching the homeowners was easy and they always got back in a timely manner I wish I could give them more than 5 stars for that. Very amazing place I must say

Our host was absolutely fantastic at communicating. Always getting back quickly with any questions. The house was nice and in good shape and in particular we all enjoyed the sun porch's large table to we could all eat together. A nice spot for a big group. Generally liked the hideaway as well. Nice lakes and lots to do. Just wish it was a little easier to walk places.

We had 12 people for a family vacation and had the best time. Multiple living areas with games allowed us to spread out and it never felt cramped. Big front deck, fire pit, and extra large dining table were huge hits. Highly recommend!

Great House!

We had so much fun hanging around the fire, playing mini golf, ping pong, and pool. We walked to the local ponds to fish and we caught pickerel, bass, and yellow perch. We golfed 9 holes on a beautiful golf course in the hideout. And we sat around the fire at night and enjoyed that. The house was more than big enough to sleep 15 of us. One day, my dad grilled 40 burgers and 30 hot dogs on the grill and we all sat around the table to have a feast. Not a lot of places have a table to seat everyone! 10/10 home and I would highly recommend staying here.

Great family weekend getaway!

Fourteen of us gathered to celebrate Grandma’s 70th and had a fabulous time at Willow’s place. It was nothing fancy but slept us all comfortably and we all loved the fun basement, the backyard, and huge dining table on the porch. So many houses we looked at slept 15+ people but had 6-8 seats around their dining table. Not a problem here! The community was great - we fished everyday and everyone caught something. We did have pool passes for everyone (not just six as other reviews mentioned) but didn’t end up using them because it was so cool. Marcy was wonderful to communicate with - and so accommodating. Highly recommend!

A Lovely Place by the lake

There are 11 of us in our extended family ranging from upper 60s to a one year old. Willow's Place was just what we needed. There was plenty of room for all of us, and the house comes with a well stocked kitchen. The game room came in handy on a rainy day. The sunroom/dining room made it easy to have big family dinners. The facilities at "The Hideout" are great. The lake, the pools, the tennis and pickleball courts made it so that everyone could find something to do. We hope to return next year

We had a family reunion and this was the perfect spot to have everyone together. We grew up going to the Hideout every year as kids and made unforgettable memories, and as adults, it was just as amazing. This house allowed everyone to be comfortable and play games in the side room altogether at night. Thank you to the owners for a fabulous, care-free experience.

Overall this was a great house to stay in. It was the perfect sized for our group and having the pool table in the basement was a big plus.

Great for our family reunion

We had a great time and would consider coming back. Our contact agent was accommodating, thorough, and responsive. The property was clean, warm, and pretty modernized (for a Pocono location). The large table in the sunroom was great for 12 person meals. There was plenty of comfortable parking, good beds, sofas, and indoor fireplaces (both wood and faux). We used the propane grill to do a cookout. We also enjoyed the arcade machines and appreciated the smart TVs for airdropping. A few things other renters might consider that could not work for you: The house is definitely not right on the water. There's not much of a view and you are very much in the middle of a (wooded) housing development surrounded by other homes. Kayaks: Because the house is not on the water, make sure you have a plan if you want to utilize the 2 single kayaks and the 17 ft canoe. We luckily had a large camper van but without a racked SUV or truck it would be difficult to get them to the water down the road. The canoe was too large for us to transport. The kayaks are singles (1 person) so not great for families looking to get smaller kids out. Also did not have life vests. We luckily brought our own. Make sure you mention you plan to use them beforehand, so they are accessible. We had to ask (which worked out fine due to the agent's responsiveness) but I could see others being upset by the confusion and delay. Kayaks and other boats are available to rent for $20 somewhere in the complex. Pool table/ ping pong/darts: Be aware that the ping pong table is on top of the pool table. This means you cannot play both at the same time. More impactful is that the ping pong table is placed on pool table so it affects the bounce of the ball. We didn't mind because we were not there a long time and mostly were just playing around but if you intended to have a serious game, you'd be frustrated. We never moved it to play pool either. The darts were all very bent and similarly, if you intended for a serious game, you'd be frustrated. I would not say the house is "spacious." Yes, there are lots of comfortable bedrooms, outdoor space, a nice sunroom, and a large deck, but if you have a full group, the living room and kitchen get a little tight with the large furniture. We were fine but it could see a less flexible, less familiar, or older group having issue. We did not use the public amenities or outside fireplace/deck/cornhole/putting green. Overall a good place for our gathering.
