A lovely home in a beautiful area with plenty to do. Pretty lakes and parks to explore and only 12 miles to Jim Thorpe, a wonderful place to visit anytime but especially in autumn. The home has a comfortable living area, first floor master bedroom and a very nice second floor with two nice bedrooms and full bath. We enjoyed waking up each morning to watch the plentiful deer and turkeys roaming about the back yard. Christine was great in communicating everything and very responsive. In fact when we booked her home she checked in with a phone call probably less than an hour later. And she was in Italy!

Perfect for families

We had a magical week here with our 11 month old and our 3 year old, who was particularly taken with the friendly deer who visited the house daily. Kitchen was well equipped for cooking and living space was very comfortable. The neighborhood amenities (beach, pool, playground) were family friendly and we were within a half hour to lots of hiking, biking, and family fun (Jim Thorpe train ride, Country Junction petting zoo, etc.). Christine was such a responsive host and we hope to come back in different seasons!

Wonderful Holiday Getaway

My family and I were looking for a quiet Christmas retreat and found EXACTLY what we were looking for, here. The house is even cozier than listing implies (which is already pretty cozy), the space and layout accommodated my family perfectly, and we found all of the cleaning and cooking essentials we needed easily and plentifully. Christine is also an exceptional host who address all of our needs beforehand and decorated her home for us ahead of our arrival. I am a much poorer communicator than she is, but I appreciated her communications thoroughly. Expect to be treated well and to relax comfortably at this home!
