A great house of a larger group
The layout is fantastic-- it's hard to get the feel and flow of the place from just the photos. The 3rd floor has a bedroom/bath and an adjoining living-room-like area. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was very well stocked and the wifi connection was good. The kids appreciated and enjoyed the game room with the pool table/ping-pong, the arcade game and the xbox console with plenty of game options. Other homes may have a lot of bedrooms and just one common area, but this home has essentially four separate common/hangout areas (game room, main big tv/large sofa room, the smaller sofa area with tv/xbox near the bedrooms on the 2nd floor, and the living room on the 3rd floor with a tv/xbox). A few pointers: 1. The water system is well water so bring water bottles to drink. It had an unpleasant metallic/acidic odor so we used spring water to drink and wash our faces/brush teeth. We may be unfamiliar with well water but got worries after my mom's eye reacted after getting faucet water in her eye. We let the management know but I think because of our short stay, it wasn't resolved before we left. 2. The community garbage area is across the Teepee Of Towamensing Trails Community Center (put that in navigation) and you need the provided car badge to access it. 3. Bring your own ping pong balls. The water situation did cause an inconvenience and worry but we let the management know and I'm sure they will take care of it based on their responsiveness and professionalism.
