The home was very welcoming when we arrived. It had everything we needed for a fabulous weekend! It was clean and tidy. The sheets in the bunk room were a tad scratchy to sleep on, but otherwise everything was amazing! The couch was comfy, the table was perfect for dining, and the space was perfect for a weekend get-a-way!

Lovely Stay

The house was in a perfect location- super close to Lake Harmony and a short drive to Jim Thorpe. Exactly as per the listing and had everything we needed. We have 4 small kids ages 7-3 and the house was perfect for us and our needs. We visited Split Rock Resort- just a 10 minute drive away- to go bowling and use the indoor water park with the kids. Would stay again!

Super cute cozy home

We loved staying here! The house is so cute, cozy and clean. We loved the furniture and decor. Brandon made our entire stay easy from check in to check out. Super friendly and accommodating! We got about a foot of snow while here and Brandon called us to let us know that we were able to stay until the snow was cleared. Highly recommended and will definitely stay here anytime we plan on visiting the Poconos!

A warm and cozy stay

We spent an excellent time. The house was beautiful, warm and cozy, has a ‘family home in the woods’ feeling. It has all the amenities needed for a weekend get together. We went in winter and we were 5 adults and a kid. There was enough space to sleep with ample linen supplies. Our 8 year old team member was delighted to see the play station and the bunk beds. Brandon was always available over phone and arranged everything swiftly that we needed. Would love to revisit if get another chance in future.

Poconos Getaway

Our family had a wonderful stay in this cozy home. It was our first trip to the Poconos, and the house was perfectly located to explore the area. We spent our days out and enjoyed having a comfortable landing place in the evenings. Although there is an adjoining apartment, we never heard any noise from the downstairs. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend the property.

Very nice place to crash

We came up to spend time with family. It was in a perfect location to visit all the big cities. 2 hours from Philly and NYC. The house was extremely welcoming and clean. Loved that all towels were vacuumed sealed for bathroom. Huge table for dinners. Plenty of room for a good size group. Also recommend the pizza spot up the road…..killed it with the Stromboli. Whenever I go back ……guarantee to book again
