Parking is available for (and limited to) 4 vehicles.

All TVs are smart TVs. You are able to log in to your own streaming apps - we do not have cable or provide log ins. The televisions have "LG Channels" where you will be able to access free content.

We kindly ask that you remove your shoes upon entering the house to keep the floors clean for our youngest guests.

Due to allergies, we are unable to accommodate pet requests.

10 community badges are included, we are unable to obtain more. 2 parking passes are included.

Supplies: starter supplies (toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags) are provided but longer stays may require you to purchase additional supplies. We provide the propane tank but guests are responsible for refilling it if it is empty.

Wildlife: The Poconos are home to many wildlife including deer, raccoons, squirrels, foxes and bears. It is important to not make the bears feel too comfortable being near humans so please DO NOT feed or leave food out for the animals.

Fire pit: the fire pit is available for use - you must first call the fire department to obtain a burn permit. There are occasions when burn permits are not issued due to increased risk of forest fires.

Cancellations: Please carefully review our cancellation policy. We do encourage guests to purchase trip insurance in the event that you need to cancel outside of the cancellation window.

Please note that occasionally the pool and lake close for maintenance. If we have advanced notice of this it will absolutely be communicated but sometimes there is no advanced notice.

No guest under 18 years old is permitted to be left at the property unattended. The house is equipped with 3 security cameras (one over the garage, one on the porch and one overlooking the backyard). They are motion activated to record audio and video. There are NO cameras in the interior of the house.

Ideal for families
The perfect spot if you are traveling with young children! The house was clean and in a great location. We were able to access multiple state parks for hiking adventures suitable for young kids as well as relax lake & poolside. The house itself was stocked with toys and games to keep all the kids occupied. The attention to detail that went into preparing the house so that renters could have smooth trip was impeccable. The owners thought of EVERYTHING. Small details including a snack basket made us feel welcomed. Communication from Jess was easy and accessible. Would definitely book again!

Lovely home near the lake
We had a very pleasant stay. Jess, the host, was very communicative and accommodating. The house was very clean and had lots of character. Very kid friendly with lots of toys and games. Would highly recommend for a family weekend away.

About the host

Hosted by Jessica D

Host profile image
Hi, we're a young family who has spent tons of time at our home away from home! We designed the house with multiple families in mind. We've never been able to find anywhere to stay where we felt like the kids were safe - beds were too high, outlets were uncovered and there were no gates in sight. We thought of everything we would want for our getaway and outfitted the home with what we believe are the essentials. We wanted this to be a place that kids and parents could relax and unwind!

Why they chose this property

This property is ideal for families who are looking to keep the kids entertained during the day and give the adults space to hang out after the kids go to bed. The main floor has a dedicated playroom with toys, books, a play tent and play couch. After the kids go to bed, adults can hang out in the basement which serves as a game room. The basement is complete with a wet bar, beverage fridge, shuffle board, air hockey table, smart TV and board games.

With our home, you'll also have access to various community amenities such as 2 lakes, a swimming pool, tennis courts, basketball courts, playgrounds and more. 10 badges are included in your stay.
