Rundown house with mold
Pulled up to house and saw the outside was dirty and stained green. Noticed the grass wasn't cut and the steps were rotten. Opened the door to the smell of mold and mildew. Fridge had old packages of chicken in freezer. Not toilet paper or wash cloths. Deck was in rough shape and gate couldn't be hinged shut due to lack of maintaining it. Called vrbo as we read other reviews about his unprofessional behavior with others. We stayed overnight and packed up and left the following morning as the mold and smell were terrible and was effecting my breathing. Called host to let him know we left and he immediately was yelling at me for calling vrbo. Paid over 800$ to stay one night. This place is definitely nothing like you see in the pictures. Those must be at least 5 years or older. Went into basement and found mold in the ceiling joists and places where the floor was removed due to this problem. Took about 50 pictures and will be asking for a full refund!!

My husband and i stayed here with our dog. We all had a great time. The house was clean and the property was beautiful. Theres a lot of mowed land for our dog to run/play and my husband loved going out on the lake to fish.

Dilapidated
We arrived at the property to find the house to be a bit run down grass wasn’t cut. Plants growing out of the gutters When we entered the house to the smell of mold Where we entered was the laundry room behind the washer was the cellar entrance where the mold smell was the strongest I walked into kitchen n felt the floor had a soft spot There was raw chicken n hotdogs left in fridge The rear deck was a bit rough as well The rooms in the house was ok as far as I could tell it did have a window ac But with the mold n my wife with breathing problems we decided not to stay n book a hotel Mold can cause many health issues so bring a mask

BEWARE: BAIT & SWITCH (OLD PICS)
Entire property a dump. As soon as you arrive you notice green all over the siding, weeds at the front entrance and overgrown tree limbs hit you in the face, the yard was like a fresh hay field so thick with cut grass. When you enter it is open shelves with linens/open rolls of toilet paper/rat poison/mold and kerosene smell from open basement. I had to clean and sanitize EVERYTHING due to mouse droppings and filth in drawers/counters. Mouse traps all over the house. Soft spots in kitchen floor. Kitchen sink leaks had to put towel down to catch water; notified owner but noone came by as told they would. The stove has a glass top and looked as if not cleaned in years. Coffee pot dirty in and out. Fry pans with RUST and peeled teflon (could not use). Had to go buy $45 worth of cleaning products, dish cloths, wash cloths, dish towels because only one we did find had hair in it. I had to rewash all the bath towels before using due to hair. The sofa and love seat were stained and worn out (sink when sit). One window a/c unit in living room so we could not close the bedroom doors or it got hot (no privacy). A leak in the queen bedroom ceiling dripped beside bed when it rained (had to catch with bowl). Texted the owner and his comment was simply didn't know. Broken twin bed, stained carpets. No fan in bathroom, dirty. Deck falling apart with holes/rot. Lake overgrown no bank fishing, one very small cut out for tiny row boat, could not swim/sludge. Owner always disputes bad reviews!

Most amazing weekend ever!!
I absolutely loved everything about our stay, the house is absolutely beautiful. Communication with the owner was outstanding, very friendly! Has everything you need. Fishing was amazing i love the row boat me and my fiancé caught so many fish. I brought my dogs as well and they had an amazing time. They loved running in the big field and even went in a water a bit, we will 100% be back our new favorite place to stay!!

Sprawling Countryside
This property was perfect and Leonard was a great host. Unfortunately, it rained a lot of the time we were there. Despite the rain we had a great time walking around the property and relaxing in the house. The pond was huge. With the heavy rain we did not get out in the boat to fish, but we most certainly will be going back in the future to make up for that. If you are looking for a place to go fishing, walk around in nature or just observe wildlife this is the place for you. We did not bring a dog on this trip, but plan to the next time we go. Between the rolling fields, creeks and ponds this place would definitely be a slice of heaven on earth for a dog.

Poor Communication
Needed a place for the weekend as we were visiting our kids at away camp. Wanted something near camp. Did a search and this came up in the same town. Unfortunately, it was not the same town but another town some distance away. No biggie. Unfortunately, the property manager/owner states he informed me of a road closure, which I never received. Drove around trying to get cell service and trying to find the property, in the dark. Finally called VRBO and spoke with a rep who attempted to relate directions from the owner. 1.5 hours later we finally found the house but had to stop at the local bar/restaurant who stated " do you know how many people can't find this property " but she recognized the deck from other travelers. House was found, no lights and no instructions on key, etc. Listing states, air conditioning; only the main living room and its a window unit only. No air conditioning in the bedrooms. Bed in 2nd bedroom broke, unusable. Water damage in the 2nd bedroom ceiling. Didn't want to argue with owner, too tired but happy to see my kids. View from the kitchen is beautiful. Definitely what you'd expect of picturesque PA. Could be a great place with a little TLC.

The view of the lake was amazing, and the large property was good for our dogs to run around. The deck needs some maintenance on part of it. Location was nice, not on top of other homes which is great.

Beautiful view!
We booked this property to enjoy w/our 2 Great Dane’s & we’re very excited to stay. Over all we enjoyed our stay, as the property itself is beautiful. The pics of the pond are accurate & we enjoyed walking the property, as it seemed endless. Our dogs ran around w/smiles on their face which made our hearts happy. However, we were expecting more from the house itself. The pictures on line may be dated, as the home currently needs a major refresh. Upon entering, the laundry room had a stong smell, which we concluded was mold. Part of the deck was collapsed & seemed dangerous to use on one end. The house was not as clean as expected, there were no window treatments or blinds so we felt on display in the evening, the shower curtain lining had soap residue on it & should be replaced, the couches were old & when we sat on them they sunk & made loud creaking noises, a couple of the stools in the kitchen were wobbly & unstable, the carpets in the bedroom were old & should be replaced. My husband took pictures as he was in disbelief of the condition of some parts if the house. Not sure if the owners are readily available at the location, but should maybe do an inspection. The price did not reflect the quality, but w/some updates would be an amazing destination!

It was nice
Very good place, the only thing I didn't like was how uncomfortable it was to sleep without air conditioning in the rooms, I think that in winter it would be better because it has heating in the rooms, but the rest was very good, the owner came over to ask if we needed something he was very kind
