Great time / Beautiful location
How a great time enjoying the outdoors and playing games with the family. You could sit on the deck & watch the kids play on the swingset. The kids & men enjoyed catching fish in the pond right there in the backyard. A short walk to a swimming hole in the creek. Relaxing around the fire pit in the evenings Host Laura & Peter were very responsive & helpful.

Great location to Elk mountain for a weekend ski trip. House is a comfortable size for a few families. Only complaint is that I wish the hot tub stayed a little hotter.

Great Ski Trip House
The property is conveniently located to elk Mountain ski resort. The kitchen is perfect for gathering with friends and the fireplace creates a cozy experience. The hot tub was great after a long day on the slopes. Plenty of parking and was clean and rather spacious. This is our 3rd time staying at this property.

Family Super Bowl
The property was beautiful! It was as pictured! Accommodated my family of 21 from 6 months to 71 years. Has a separate little apartment for those who want or need to get away! One problem was cell phone service. Not good. Owner was very accessible! Great location for Elk Mt. skiers. My family had a great time except for Eagles loss.

Great for a ski weekend at Elk!
This was our second time staying at the property for a ski weekend at Elk. Plenty of space for our group of multiple families with kids ranging from 2-13. The house is clean and well-stocked, the owners are so nice, and the proximity to Elk is great (10-15 min). It’s hard to find spots for larger groups in the area, but I’d definitely recommend!

a beautiful stay in the poconos during peak Fall color!
We had a wonderful stay at Laura’s fantastic property! It was a belated celebration with close friends for my husbands 40th. The house was great for cooking for large groups. My husband really enjoyed fishing in the mornings, my kids loved the swing set & spotting deer families on the property. The hot tub & grill were great & we had a lovely weekend with dear friends. The house was very clean & Laura was very responsive. I’d say the house is best for 10-15 people comfortably. The whole area is gorgeous & we enjoyed the drive everywhere we went!

Great for what we needed
Overall our stay was great. It was the perfect setting for our small wedding/elopement. The property is secluded and gorgeous. The trails down to the creek are easy to access and the perfect getaway spot. There were some things that were less than ideal that I feel should be mentioned for others that may want to book the property. None of these would deter me from renting, but it’s always nice to have the full picture before you arrive. The house was clean as far as linens and clutter. However the general state of the house was dirty. We needed to vacuum floors and wipe counters before we really did anything. Some areas of floors (like in the corners) were visibly dirty with dirt/dust/buildup, spiderwebs everywhere, etc. It was never told to us that polo is played right up against the property. This means that riders on horses are hitting a ball towards the property during the day and evening. We did not mind this but it was unexpected and definitely a shock. The person of contact was a bit unorganized and was difficult to communicate with. Leading up to a weekend away and a wedding, this can be an area of concern.

Amazing property, great house, a perfect trip!
My group had a fantastic time at Laura's place - the house is very comfortable and spacious. Great cooking facilities. The real gem is the property -- the brook in the back and pond were really nice to hang out at, and we even caught some people playing polo on the field. Highly recommend!

Wow! What an awesome property, home, and owner. My group has all agreed it was the best mountain weekend we have ever had. The house was exactly as described and so much more. There were tons of little details to show how much Laura cared about our stay. Home was stocked with all paper products, kitchen items, etc. The property and view to the pond was breathtaking. Communication with Laura was extremely easy and quick. You will not be disappointed!
