Grat location, especially if you are there for Pocono race track. Nice little house in great area with an access to the lake. Another great attraction that it's only 30 min away from Jim Thorpe.

Great Property

Everything from check in to check out was excellent. The home was nice, perfect for our family. Dog friendly which is a must for us! Rooms were just right, everything was as described! Nice deck to hang out and cook dinner on the grill at night. Also watching the wildlife around the home as we had deer almost every day! We fully enjoyed the cool nights in the middle of the summer! Kitchen size worked well for a week trip, plenty of room in the refrigerator. Rest of appliances looked pretty new and all worked well! Internet was TMobile cellular and worked. Bedrooms were just right. Very happy with our stay.

The bungalow was nice. The communication with the host was good. The bungalow could have been cleaner. There was a lot of pet hair. The grill wasn't cleaned and fire pit area was messy.

Great experience!

This is the second time we’ve stayed, both times for the holidays. We could comfortably accommodate the 4 adults/teens in the two bedrooms. The already plowed/shoveled driveway and salted steps/ porch was so greatly appreciated. Would definitely stay again!!

Great winter weekend getaway!

Our family of 4 had a great weekend stay for skiing at Jack Frost and watching movies by the fire. Extra bonus to be able to bring our golden and have a nice hike to Hawk Falls before heading home. Thanks for sharing your home!

The property was exactly as described, including a beautifully remodeled bathroom. The driveway was plowed upon our arrival as well as having a shovel and pet friendly ice melt right near the door. We could not have asked for a better experience!

Nice quiet place

The house is small but it’s quaint and clean. There’s a nice area behind the house to walk around in a little wooded area for your dogs; however if you’re looking for endless-like space, there are houses close by. It was very peaceful and Lake Harmony is only a ten minute drive. That’s where some restaurants are located. Overall it was a great place to getaway. I’d go there again

Ok for a quick trip.

The cottage is dated. Furnishings flimsy and space is ok for no more than 2-3 people, we were 6 (2 adults, 2 teenagers and 2 kids). We noticed some insects that needed extermination and reported it to the property manager. There is also no washer or dryer in the house so no fresh towels if you need them especially after finding insects in them. Traveling with children can make this a big inconvenience as it was for us us. Unfortunately we cannot recommend the property in its current state and will not consider it for another stay in the community.

A great convenient getaway!

We came to the Poconos for a few days and really enjoyed our stay. We have four children ages 10, 8, 4 and 2. Three children stayed in one room and my husband and I shared the other room with the baby. The children appreciated board games that the cottage had. The deck was great for sitting outside and just taking in the fresh air. We took some walks around the area. Everyone around us was so nice and friendly. Would definitely recommend as an option for a few night getaway.
