About this property

Family-Pet Retreat-2GmRms-FullyFncdYd-PoolTbl-AirHocky-Shfflbrd-SkiBall-PingPong

Thank you for considering My Vacation Property Rental (MVP Rental) for your upcoming trip to the Poconos. This was my family home until it was converted to a vacation property in 2023. I have owned and been hosting people at homes in this resort community since 2011. Over the years, across multiple properties, I have managed thousands of reservations and have gained the expertise to offer a relaxing retreat for both you and your pets.

Having multiple game rooms, a theater room area, multiple seating areas, TVs in all rooms, and large deck, there are spaces for everyone. Pet lovers will appreciate the fully fenced backyard which provides a safe space for dogs to play. The wire mesh fence extends from the top rail to the ground keeping your pets contained. There has never been a reported escape, though deer do jump the fence often to graze in the yard.

Thank you again, and please reach out if you have any questions. I’m happy to answer any you may have.

Nice stay for family.

This house is great for an extended family trip. We had a really nice time. The house offers a lot with the extended game room upstairs. It’s a good location for Jim Thorpe, all of the nature trails and water parks.

Get A Way

This property was great. We had four adults and two dogs. Location was perfect, between Jim Thorpe and Lake Harmony. Very dog friendly, and the fenced in yard was a huge plus. We enjoyed watching five dear freely roam the neighborhood daily. The property is well maintained and the owner is very responsive for whatever is needed.

Presidents weekend getaway

We had a great time at this property over Presidents Weekend. There were ten of us and there was plenty of room to spread out and sleep. Our grandkids really enjoyed the game rooms and we watched the Eagles Superbowl win parade on the 85" TV!! Took the kids tubing and enjoyed a couple meals at the nearby resturants. We would definitely rent here again!!

Weekend Trip

Our family had a great time this weekend. Everyone loved the games. Movie room was a big hit with my son. Fenced in and very spacious yard was great to have especially while outside playing in the snow. Owner was easy to communicate with. It was so nice not having to pack linens and towels since they were provided. Can’t wait for our next trip back to this house!

Great family place

Everything was excellent. 2 games rooms..plenty to keep kods busy. Had deer come right thru front yard. Front and back sliding dooors stick a little, but the place and whole stay was awesome.

Great house!!!

We had such a great time in this lovely house. Its two big game rooms have everything to occupy kids and adults. Personally for me one of the biggest plus of the property was fenced backyard so I could let my dog walk around freely. The house itself was nice and clean and comunication with the host was very easy. Would love to come here again !

Spacious, entertaining space

The house and process with the owner was great. There are so many options for games, the theatre room was a great bonus, and the inside feels bigger than what the pictures show. There were also games and books for younger children which we really appreciated. They do have a sizeable bump in the back yard that is hard to see in pictures, which made watching the kids a little more difficult - although they loved rolling down the hill! We would have loved being able to burn fires outside (neighborhood rule for renters) and cabinets in the kitchen being labeled. It was a really great spot for family/friend vacation and would recommend the owner and property to friends and family as well.

Family fall getaway

Very close to home but like being in another world. Traded our dog and cats for deer and turkey! The house was pretty much exactly as described. The game rooms were really fun, and we even did a family movie night in the theater room. The owner is super responsive and made everything seamless. The community is great for walking with the little one's stroller. We hit an unseasonable cold snap so we really didn't take advantage of the sandy beach or playground at the lake which would have been fun otherwise. Didn't matter; there was plenty to do. Jim Thorpe was an easy drive although beware: lots of eateries are not under-21 friendly, period. We had a blast at Big Creek Winery - the actual vineyard, not the Jim Thorpe tasting room. They were so accommodating with our granddaughter. Wonderful wines and snacks, reasonably priced. We would never hesitate to book this home again.

Best Rental in the Poconos

My family recently stayed here and it is by far the best home we have rented in 20 years. Everything in the home was clean, worked great, and the furnishings were very comfortable. The tv room and games were outstanding and the home is impeccably maintained. The property is fantastic. Our dogs were able to safely stay outside in the fenced yard while we enjoyed the large deck in the sun. The surrounding woods were so serene and quiet. We ended up staying home more than we ventured out because of how nice it was. Will, the property owner was very friendly and responsive. We have never returned to the same rental twice, but we will be back here, finding a true home away from home.
