Very spacious and clean house! The hot tub was great. The only downside was that the main level smelled like dog. That is on me though because I didn’t realize the allowed pets.

Beautiful View

We enjoyed our stay! The rooms were spacious and the kitchen had everything we needed. We had to endure some bad weather due to Hurricane Debby but the place was comfortable and we still enjoyed our time. Saturday the weather cleared and we had a great time hanging out by the lake. The grill was so nice to have and all the outdoor seating was fantastic! Thanks for a great stay!

Me and my wife came to this house for a short getaway. The house was spotless just the way we like it. The house matched up perfectly with all the pictures and the cleanliness surpassed all expectations!! The backyard is spectacular and so relaxing! We really recommend this property and we look forward to coming back again!

Beautiful home with great view of the lake! Few minor upgrades would take it from “pretty” to “wow!” (Very minor- example, broken terra cotta pots and some peeling paint). Hot tub had great view of the lake and the face it was inside had us using it every day even though the weather wasn’t great while we were there. Electric fire place in living room made it cozy and where we spent most of our time in the house.

Nice Quiet Weekend Getaway

This property had beautiful views and overall was a great spot for a couple or family looking to enjoy lake life for a bit. The backyard was amazing. I didn’t think the bed was particularly comfortable and after my second night my back was really stiff. We only stayed two nights and on the first night someone came to service the hot tub pretty late in the evening and stayed until late as well so we didn’t get to use it. This added to the disappointment when the next day we went to use it and there was a chunky layer of buildup around the parameter. So despite having someone crash our first evening, we didn’t even get a clean hot tub for our last evening. My boyfriend tried to wipe it off and clean under the headrests himself. They looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in a long time. I didn’t exactly want to go in after that. If they had a more comfortable bed and a cleaner hot tub I would give 5 stars. I would definitely come back if these issues were addressed.

Amazing Pocono getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend here despite the frigid temperatures! The house was everything we needed! Neighborhood was so peacefully quiet. The bedrooms were huge. The views were beautiful. This place was so clean, had everything you need and the indoor hot tub was perfect! We had food delivered from AJs pizza and it was delicious! Big boulder and camelback mountains less than 20 min away and the pocono outlets were a quick drive as well! We would definitely stay here again! 10/10!

We had a wonderful family vacation enjoying the hot tub and the lake beach with kayaks. My son caught various types of fish from the dock and from a kayak. The house was great and stocked well.
