SUPPLIES: This is a self-sustaining property. A basic starter pack is provided only [1 roll of paper towels, toilet paper and 1 extra roll for each bathroom, dishwasher pods, dish soap, hand soaps, hand sanitizers, spices, coffee and filters]. Any additional supply of these items should be brought by the renter. We try to keep everything stocked, but sometimes with back to back rentals, we are unsure when things run low and we may not have an extra supply on hand of possibly sponges or dish soap.

A copy of a driver's license as well as the execution of the downloaded rental agreement and registration form from my community are all required to complete rental.

HORSEBACK RIDING - Horseback Riding is available year round. The number for horseback riding is 570-685-4427. The www.masthope.org website is also helpful. You can find the Horse form attached under the Property Owners Tab and you can find phone numbers to things in the community (like the stables) under the Amenities Tab. Please remember to mention that you will be a rental guest when you make the reservation for the horses because you can ride free if you purchase a $8.00 per person/amenity pass for the day you have a reservation.

Weekend friends getaway

Gina's place was excellent for my group of 8-9 adults who were looking for a place to relax over a weekend. We had two large rooms where everyone could hang out together as well as the fire pit outside - it was perfect for all of us to catch up and relax. There was also plenty of space for everyone to sleep. My city friends enjoyed seeing the turkeys, deer, and chipmunks right from the house.

Great House

This house was perfect for our large family. Very clean and spacious and plenty of room for the 8 of us. House had everything we could possibly need and was very clean. Teens in our group loved the basement which had air hockey, ping pong and a pool table. Gina was a pleasure to deal with and responded very quickly with any questions I had. Would definitely stay there again.

Peace in the Poconos

Can't say enough good things. it was the cleanest rental that we have ever experienced. Comfortable beds, Large refrigerator, several TVs,(although we did not watch much), immediate response from owners when we had questions. Great amenities, lake, 2 pools, horseback riding, mini golf as well as a small marketplace and a great outside bar with live music. You can also sit at the house with good company and enjoy the deer passing through. A+ recommendation.

Fantastic Getaway

We were a party of four couples and had an exceptional stay at this beautiful property, complete with a well-equipped kitchen, state-of-the-art Weber grill with plenty of propane, and spacious deck for wildlife watching. The home was very clean and well supplied with everything we needed. The house offers ample entertainment options, including a fire pit, indoor fireplace, pool table, air hockey, ping pong and board games. The Summit restaurant provided fantastic food and service at very fair prices. The hosts were highly responsive and ensured we had a seamless experience. We highly recommend this home and can't wait to visit again! Our one concern prior to signing the rental agreement was the statement about the roads. For a mountain region, we didn’t find the roads steep, or difficult to travel.

Hidden Gem!

The place was amazing. We had a wonderful time. Just ran out of time to do it all. Gina the host, went over and above to make sure we had a wonderful stay. She was very prompt in answering any question we had. The reason for our stay was for a celebration of life for my mother. Staying here gave us peace and strength to be able to process our grief.
