About this property

Family&PetRetreat-2GameRms-FencedYd-Arcade-NearSki-WaterPks-JimThorpe-Raft-RaceW

Thank you for considering My Vacation Property Rental (MVP Rental) for your upcoming trip to the Poconos. I have owned and been hosting people at homes in this resort community since 2011. Over the years, across multiple properties, I have managed thousands of reservations and have gained the expertise to offer a relaxing retreat for both your group, and pets.

Pet lovers will appreciate the fully fenced backyard which provides a safe space for dogs to play. The wire mesh fence extends from the top rail to the ground keeping your pets contained. There has never been a reported escape, though deer do jump the fence often to graze in the yard.

Parents will love the multiple game rooms spaces to occupy and entertain your kids. The bunkroom also has a TV so they can stream their own media without interrupting you.

If you enjoy cooking, you will appreciate the well appointed kitchen with hickory cabinets and stone countertops.

Thank you again for considering my home for your upcoming trip. Please reach out if you have any questions. I’m happy to answer any you may have and look forward to hosting you.

Comfortable and Would Come Back!

Our stay was very enjoyable and everyone had a great time! The listing was accurate - all the amenities and variety of things to do within the house kept us busy. Kitchen was well stocked and thought out. The house was cozy especially during the wintery nights. We will definitely come back for a longer stay.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

This stay was a perfect weekend getaway. My friends and I wanted to have a weekend away with the pups and this was a great place. Huge yard for the dogs, basement was an arcade with all games, and the living room was perfect for lounging and watching tv. The kitchen was a great size for cooking. The only complaint we had is that the kitchen supplies need to be upgrade. But all in all, would 100% stay here again.

Aria’s 10th birthday celebration ❤️🎉

We rented this amazing house for our daughter’s 10th birthday. We had 6 of her girlfriends, 1 their moms and myself and my husband and our 3 small dogs. The house had amazing space! The cleanliness was great! This is my 1st rental from VRBO. I used the other app for yearss and I would have to clean the house before actually enjoying it. However, w this house; I only did a quick wipe down (just because I like to do my own cleaning) but it wasn’t “necessary “. The kids loved the game rooms. The backyard was nice and very secured for our 3 furry babies. My family loved the house and the yard. The only CON was the mattress on the main floor needs to be replaced. When mentioning this to the host, he acknowledged my concern and spoke of a remedy. The other bed and bunk beds were good. Great stay!😊

Family Getaway

The house was what we needed.. It was spacious with a huge yard for the pooches. The Game room was a blast every night and location was where we needed to be for daily hikes and a trip into Jim Thorpe. Would definitely recommend this place.

Cute house

Cute house! Game room in basement was great! The beach and boats in neighborhood community center looked like fun but unfortunately the weather did not cooperate. The House was clean and comfortable. Beds and pillows not the most comfortable but that’s the only complaint we had. Lots of hiking nearby. We visited the town of Jim Thorpe which was too cute. Thanks for a nice stay

perfect 4 day getaway

Family of 5 traveling with 1, 3, and 6-year-old and dog. There was ample room. The game room was awesome. Kitchen with all the necessities. Lovely back yard for the kids and dog. We used the boats on the lake ($20 per boat per hour). We hung out in the pool which was nice, not extravagant but what we were expecting. The lake front beach was fun as well. One week day we were the only people there for a couple of hours and another week day it was packed. We ate several times at the snack bar by the pool. It was surprising good and fresh food at a great price. I would recommend bringing groceries with you if you plan to cook as the nearby grocery store is sort of slim pickings. Overall it was a great trip, exactly what we were expecting by the description and reviews on google, and would recommend to anyone looking for a low key getaway.

Nice Getaway

Property is well appointed, functional and owner was very prompt with communication. Super large deck with outdoor furniture and grill. Fenced in yard is a great bonus for pets and kids. Kids had a blast roasting Marshmallows for s’mores. Bathrooms nicely updated and kitchen is fully equipped. Lower level game room was enjoyable on rainy days. So many beautiful deer- moms, babies and huge buck roam the neighborhood. The lake was clean and the kids enjoyed the playground.All in all a great get away at a nice property.

Nice area but slightly disappointing

Pros: Area was beautiful and even though a bit remote and plenty of deer sighting, it was close to major roads and not far from eateries and so on. We even got to see a bear roaming out back. Basement was awesome, but after days 2 flies were getting in the basement and we didn't have any fly swatters or ideas how to get them out. Cons: Could use a good deep cleaning, cabinet doors were sticky and had a residue on them. Oven had a mess in it which when I notified, owner was quick to resolve. I was under the impression there would be basic cleaning supplies, but didn't find any. All we had was soap and water to clean up spills and counters. Pool had zero chairs, which I found very odd and wish I had been informed prior as this was the first year I didn't bring beach chairs. Maybe these things were an oversight, was just was a tad disappointed.

Nice Getaway!

My husband, son, myself and our two dogs stayed for a few days. The dogs had a blast in the back yard! The house was perfect for the three of us and our dogs. The game room is really cool, although we didn't get much time to use it. Our host, Will, was very nice and responsive to a situation where something needed fixed. He came over in a timely manner to take care of it. We definately recommend and would love to stay there again!

What a wonderful time!

We planned a little vacation to celebrate my daughter’s graduation from college. We had such a good time. The house is beautiful and fully equipped. The basement full of games made the stay. We all had such a great time playing pool and ping pong. I love this place and would definitely go back!

Why they chose this property

This home offers an open floor plan which is great for entertaining. The kitchen has been remodeled with granite countertops, custom backsplash, rustic hickory cabinetry, and bar. The large back deck is a great spot for summer time star gazing, and a great location to watch the wildlife that visit the back yard regularly. The home is located in a quiet location with little through traffic and most boarding properties undeveloped. The home is well stocked with all the kitchen appliances and cookware you could need. This home is very clean and tastefully decorated.
