Wonderful Pocono house
We booked the house for a weekend getaway to relax and were very pleased. The house is big and the master bedroom was terrific. There are heat control zones all over the house which made for a really comfortable stay. The wood fireplace was great and made relaxing in the living room enjoyable. The kitchen is well stocked so we were able to cook easily. The host answered my questions quickly before and during our stay, so communication was great. Overall we had a wonderful time and the place is clean with terrific amenities. We would definitely stay again.

Great Ski Getaway
We really liked this house. It was very roomy and clean. We loved playing pool. The kitchen was very well supplied as we cooked often. The beds were very comfy. The rooms didn't have any drawers but did have closets. You may want to bring extra hangers. I would definately stay here again1

Great Getaway for Family of 4-6
Mybwife and I and our 2 kids stayed here fpr 4 days over NYE, and we really liked the place. The weather kept us mostly indoors, but if we'd gone during any season other than winter, we couodve taken advantage of the closeness of several small lakes, nearby hiking, and more. The property itself is really nice, house is clean and spacious with modern amenities. Would stay here again.

November getaway
The property owner was very helpful and communicated very well with us. The property is as described, very clean, and the kitchen is well stocked. The only issue we encountered was a couple of outside lights that did not work and the main steps into the house are not easy to see, especially at night. We arrived after dark and had some concerns about the steps at night. The property was relaxing and we had a very nice trip. Thanks for a good vacation trip to eastern PA.

Weekend get away
The property and house was as shown in the pictures. It was a beautiful setting. The house was very clean and comfortable. It heated up quickly when we arrived. We used the kitchen for breakfast, snacks, and reheating leftovers and it had everything we needed. We did wonder where the 6th dining room chair was but there were only 4 of us so it didn't matter. I would come again but might not bring my parents as they did have a little trouble with the main floor/entrance being up a set of steps and I hadn't considered that when renting. It was nice to have a ground entrance that my husband would let us in after he went up the front steps to unlock the front door. The bedrooms all had their own thermostat and ceiling fans which was great. The bedrooms with the twin beds didn't have a little night stand and none of them had a lamp, just the overhead light if you need to think about how you relax in your rooms. The pool table was fun although it could use some leveling and new cue sticks with tips. The shower head in the jacuzzi tub was great. It was really nice that Adem provides so many basics like paper towels, toilet paper, shampoo, body wash, hand soap, dishwashing and dish washer soap as well as some laundry detergent and dryer sheets, even though we didn't use the laundry. It's such a pain to have to bring all of that for a weekend away. We really enjoyed being able to be together in a non-hotel place for our weekend away.

Private getaway
Check in process simple. Adam was very responsive. Clean property. Pool table was awesome. More than enough space for 6 adults and dogs. In a community with many activities but away from other properties so you have tour privacy. Adam provides you with 6 passes for the community which is perfect! Best part you don't have to worry about bringing the garbage or doing a cleaning because Adam actually has someone clean after you most property managers charge you a cleaning fee and forces you to clean yourself. Definitely would stay here again!

Perfect for what we needed. Plenty of space and sleeping for 6 people. House was even stocked with toiletries and had kitchen supplies. Only downside was the fire ban. I wish we would have known about that before arriving. Would definitely stay again.

Nice get-away!
This was our first experience with a vrbo property. The owner was responsive to a number of emails & text questions. The neighborhood is lovely & private. It was about 2.5 miles to the beach - which was longer than we expected, but not a deal breaker. Overall, I would use this location for a get-away again.

It's a charming & welcoming cabin.
We enjoyed seeing deer every time we left & came back. We enjoyed the pool table & the decks as well as the jacuzzi tub. There are plenty of options for things to do nearby as well as plenty of places to eat. Piggy's was a good place to eat.

Winter Getaway
My family really enjoyed out stay. The house was clean and well kept. No complaints. I did reach out to Adam for instruction on how to get the oven/fire place to work (which is a must use). After I couldn't get the door open he offered to come out and do it himself. Which was very kind of him. He went above and beyond to make sure we got the full experience. Paintball and Ski resorts close by. Thank you Adam!! We'll be back

A Lovely Escape
We had a lovely time staying here. Adam was extremely communicative and timely. He was respectful of our privacy and he even came to the house to clear snow. It was really appreciated he did that. There was a great steakhouse nearby as well. It was the perfect winter escape.

Great winter getaway
While the exterior of the house is a little strange, the interior of the house was great. The place was very clean and neat. We used the house as a base for skiing and hiking in the area and it worked out perfect for a winter getaway. The house is on a large property with plenty of privacy. It was nice being able to enter through the basement and avoid tracking snow or mud into the main floor. We enjoyed the pool and fuseball tables and the large screen TV where we watched Netflix and other channels. Kitchen was good, so was the dining room, family room, bedrooms, and bathroom. Only item to note is the master bedroom and bath has a sloped ceiling on one side so you can't stand along the far wall of either room.

I love the Poconos. The first time I came up I knew I was going to live here the rest of my life. This property is so unique that you have to see it to believe it.

What makes this property unique

There are so many benefits to this property. It’s close to everything Jim Thorpe shopping malls, outlets, golf courses, pool, beach, unique clubhouse that has its own restaurant be the beach and so much more.
