Great property
This property is a great value, lots of other properties in the area are more expensive and are not nearly as nice. This house was super spacious with four bedrooms and would sleep quite a few people. Much larger than we needed but we loved it. Decor was wonderful. We loved meeting Otto the owl. We enjoyed coming back in the evening and being able to enjoy a game of pool, or ping pong or darts or foosball. When you say in a hotel it seems like you just come back to the room and lay down and watch TV, here there is plenty of things to do to keep busy and the evening. We had a fire and were able to sit out and enjoy the outdoors. We had a wonderful moment with a mother deer and her fawn. As we sat by the fire the two deer stood about 10 ft away from us for about 10 minutes and we just sat there and watch them and they watched us. It was magical. Also there is a wonderful basketball court and playground right behind the property with a path that goes down to lake. This was great for walking the dog. Speaking of the dog, I thought it was wonderful that they had a set of dog dishes sitting in the kitchen ready for her. We brought ours thinking we would need them but they had already thought of our four-legged family member. Would highly recommend this property to anyone. Great location close to town but far enough away where you don't feel like you're sitting right in town. There are neighbors but the property has enough trees where you get privacy.

We enjoyed spending time with our family and friends here.
We came for a long weekend and due to the weather being rainy, we spent all of our time in the house. It was nice and we didn’t mind being “stuck in”

Great for two families
We enjoyed our stay here with our kids and our friends with their kids-9 total. Beds were comfortable, accommodations were cozy, the pool table was a hit, we loved drinking leisurely coffee til noon on that shaded back porch and enjoyed a beautiful summer day at the club amenities ($12/person extra) where we took out kayaks, enjoyed mini golf, swam in the lake and the pool!

Cool house and location
We had our annual VRBO vacation at Owl's Nest and really enjoyed the area and the house. There were a few issues, but communication with Eric and Natalie was great. We saw lots of wildlife and really enjoyed the huge deck.

Oh, We'll be back!!
The home is AMAZING!! My family and I (All 8 of us...) had an amazing time! We had everything we needed, and was even surprised to find things we assumed wasn't available (hello, grill seasonings!!). The surprises continued as we grilled on the last night and discoveted a tree house nearby (!!!!)!! Me and my 30+ year old sister squealed like children and planned to definitely come back in the summer. Well done, Owl's Nest!

Really wonderful experience. The house was well stocked, clean and visitor friendly. Had no issues. Hosts were responsive and helpful. The whole family had a memorable time. Adding a mirror in rooms may be something to consider. Highly recommend The Owl’s Nest.

Comfy home & great communication with property owners!
Very comfortable home that backed up to trees and basketball, tennis & playground areas. Lots of deer in the neighborhood, which was fascinating for the kids but very confusing for the dogs, lol. Easy to get to Tobyhanna State Park for kayaking and hiking. We took day trips over to the waterparks and shopping in Tannersville. In the evenings, we loved the pool table, darts, ping pong, deck, etc. Natalie was very good with communications before and during the stay - She reached out with lots of recommendations for the local area and quickly answered any questions we had. Thanks for a great visit to the Poconos!

We elected to only stay one night as we were very disappointed in the facilities. See my email communication on Saturday for details.. Communication with Eric and follow up went as well as could be expected. He was responsive to our concerns and provided a small refund.

Poconos Weekend
Highly recommended. The house was perfect, plenty of outdoor space and pool / ping pong inside. A short walk out the back of the house was a great playground for kids beside the lake. The little ones and I had a great time adventuring around. We even saw our neighbor hand feeding a deer. Eric and Natali were very responsive. You won't be dissapointed.
