Family Reunion

Stayed here with my husband's family, including our 3 small kids. The location was perfect- so much to do. We all loved the paddle boards and kayaks on the beautiful lake. The kitchen was extremely well stocked and we loved sitting out on the deck. Also close to many local attractions for easy day trips! It was really a perfect getaway!

Great Place!

Host was super responsive. House was clean and well equipped. There was so much to do for all generations, that we were able to stay on the property. Location was excellent, near stores, yet very private. We loved the lake, the boats, the fire pit, the puzzles, books, and the basketball games. Yossi

Beautiful lakefront home

Perfect for our family vacation with multiple young children. The house was beautiful, clean, and had everything we needed to enjoy the week. The kids loved direct access to the lake to swim and fish. The host was very responsive to our questions- when one of the appliances was not working as expected, she had a repair man out the next day to fix it. Our whole family loved this home and we would definitely stay here again.

Poconos for years...best stay ever!

My family and I have been coming to the Poconos for years! There is a large group of us so we always get two homes and mine is the main home. This home was perfect! It was extremely clean, great location by grocery and liquor stores, close to waterfalls for hiking and water parks! While this home was close to all those amenities, you really don't have to go anywhere because they have seemed to think of everything! All the water toys, toys in the garage, downstairs entertainment, bikes, games, puzzles and more...SO MUCH TO DO!!!! The property gets PLENTY of shade which is perfect for my mother in law who has breathing issues, but still has plenty of spots for those who want the extra sun. The lake itself was probably the cleanest/clearest one I have seen in all my years and not many bugs/spiders. We made use of the fire pit q couple of nights which was so relaxing. I am certain this will be a spot we come back to for years to come!!

Wonderful family home escape

This was such a fantastic weekend getaway house! We chose this location as a middle ground for those in NY and MD. We never left the home as we wanted to catch up with each other, and we’re so grateful for the stocked amenities in this home. Adults loved the boat and fire pit, children loved the downstairs kid area (Barbie heaven!) and the swing. We enjoyed the common areas and spent most nights around a fire. Jennifer was an amazing host. We had minor hiccups in the beginning, and she was so lovely speaking with and did and said all the right things. We appreciated our stay so much and cannot recommend this home enough! If you’re on the fence- book it! It’s even more gorgeous and cozy in person!

Everything you need for a great vacation

We stayed at this property with 7 adults and 6 kids. There was plenty of space for everyone both inside and out. We've never stayed at such a small lake but we really enjoyed it. Nice that the kids could kayak by themselves but we could easily see them. We used all 3 kayaks and the fishing boat a ton. Campfire area was very nice, though we did use our camp chairs so we could get closer to the fire. Lots of toys, puzzles and games for the kids inside. All the life jackets you could possibly need and some floats. Lots of chairs outside, plus 2 nice tables for eating meals. We did spend an afternoon at the other lake in the neighborhood, beach there was great with a dock kids could swim out to. Only thing we didn't like we the noise from the nearby road, but you couldn't hear it inside at all. It would have been perfect if there was a dock too, both for fishing and jumping into the lake. Oh, and my kids caught a TON of fish. Even a 5lb bass. We would 100% rent here again.

There was always something for everyone to do (even with 2 days of rain). Jen was amazing to work with and very proactive in her communication.

We had an amazing stay! From the beginning the host was easily contacted and responded quickly. The house is gorgeous. There was plenty of room for a house full of adults. Everyone could have their own space if they wanted, but there was family areas where everyone could fit. Everything was very clean. All of the instructions for the house were easy to follow. We really appreciated the endless firewood that was provided for the living room fire place. We would stay here again!
