Everything on the was as described the only issue was the bathrooms were slightly dirty not enough to be a huge issue provided towels had rust stains on them

House was good with a few things needing work and one thing I feel I was lied to about.
Needs work…..
Light bulbs when they burn out change them.
Shade in the living room, replace it when it doesn’t work.
Air Conditioners were portable, only 1 was properly hooked up the other 2 were pushing cold air out the front and hot air out the back, duct tape can only go so far. Plus who wants to be responsible for emptying the condensation buckets.
Feeling lied too, the jetted tub in the main bedroom did not work, thru text message the owner told me they were replacing it. In a review from 4 years earlier found the same issue listed with the jetted tub. This was one of the main reasons I rented here, the tub looked like it hadn’t been used in a long time. It should be noted on the listing that it doesn’t work.
Bedding and towels not provided, them a message that they are provided, followed by a message the day we leave that they are not provided. UPDATE your automatic messages.
Mentions…….
Takes the refrigerator about 36 hours to really get cold.
The hot tub takes about 10 hours to get to temperature. Instruction can be found on You Tube.
Soft floor near shower in 3rd floor bathroom. It needs attention.
Not a bad place, small things matter. I have stayed in worse places. Not a high end type of guy. We enjoyed the pool and lake and each other on our trip. So it was good.
Thank you to the owner for renting, just that jetted tub thing really stands out to me.

This property was so filthy and disgusting we refused to stay. I’ve never seen anything like this. We immediately called VRBO. It would take me too long to describe all of the filth, the dirt, the disrepair, the disorganization and complete disaster this house was in when we got there. I have many many pictures to substantiate this. There weren’t even blankets or comforters, as claimed in the property description, for a WINTER rental. DO NOT RENT! Ever! If there was a way to post pictures, I would. Take my word for it. Don’t risk your health and safety by staying here.

Beautiful house with an outbuilding. 4 balconies where you can spend time having breakfast or dinner admiring the evening stars and enjoying the fresh air. A 5-minute walk from the house is a lake and attractions where there was something for adults and children to do. Fishing, kayaking and much more. I recommend this house to everyone for a family vacation.

Joe off the bat made the booking ,check in to check out experience hassle free.Any questions or concerns he was a text or phone away.Stores and gas station close by for your convenience.
Fireplace comfort was a plus for us especially celebrating our Family Christmas 2nd time in the Poconos.We really enjoyed our holiday getaway as if home away from home comfort.Game room a bonus plus.

Overall Great Experience
From start to finish, the process was easy and carefree. Everything was explained very well. Constant communication with the homeowner put us at ease with any problems that may have arose. Our stay was great. Everything in the house worked great. It was clean. Plenty of supplies for cooking and cleaning. Just an overall great experience.

Unsafe and dirty
This house was filthy. My boyfriend and I stayed for a long weekend. This place is dirty, unsafe, and clearly a party house. The carpets were so gross I never took my shoes off, the furniture is so worn and uncomfortable. The smoke detectors are disconnected, there were daddy long leg spiders EVERYWHERE!! Webs with spider eggs in every corner and moths all thru the house, big and small. The chandelier above the dinning table is filled with dead bugs. If that’s not enough...we killed 3 German cockroaches in the kitchen and master bath. I could go on forever but basically, if your 25 and looking to party with some friends then this may be the place for you, if your anyone else do not rent this house. Had I showed up for this stay with my children I would have had to leave. I would not let them stay n such a unsafe and dirty place. Upon departure, I did notify the owner of the bugs and condition of the home. He seems shocked, “no one has mentioned this” he said. This rental has a high cleaning and I feel at the least I should Have been offered my cleaning fee back. This is an edited version of my intended review as VRBO has requested that I remove certain information....rather than investigating the property for themselves. I feel this shows poorly against VRBO as well.

Nice place but NEEDS updating
Few things need to be taken care of...
1 - the AC unit in the master bedroom drains into a 5 gallon bucket and needs to be dumped at least twice a day or the floor gets soaked.
2 - the bath tub in the master bedroom leaks bad, as in the faucet itself falls off, so you can't use it.
3 - both gas grills just need to be replaced. One has tin pans on the bottom just for charcoal and the actual gas one is so rusted that the 3 fingers aren't even connected and it only flares up just in the front.
4 - the couch in the billard room has a rip in it and is covered by a pillow.

Plenty of room for a large family.
We loved the location and there was plenty of room for all 8 of us. We were disappointed that a lot of things werent working or in poor condition. Upon getting there the screens to the porch were hanging off because the duct tape that was used to hold then there was falling off. There were two grills that seem to have never been cleaned, one which was leaking gas. Half the lights werent working in the house and locks on the bathrooms didnt work. The whirlpool tub faucet leaked and unless you hold it down the water ran onto the floor. There was just a lot of things that have been neglected that could be easily fixed. And when checkout day came we were never given any instructions on what to do. We had a wonderful vacation but we just wished things were more tidy and working for the amount of money we paid.

Location great, property as described. Owner very responsive.
2.0 / 5.0
This was a spacious property and convenient having bedrooms spread out over three floors as it allowed us to put teenagers on one floor and smaller children on upper floor. Each appreciates their privacy. The property certainly met our needs, had a nice size table for game nights, fully functional kitchen to cook family meals. Fireplace was wonderful and kids enjoyed watching the deer from the back door. As mentioned there are some cons:- Don’t know who their cleaning service is but every pot, bowl, plate we pulled from the cabinet was nasty like they had put up dirty dishes. We finally we through and just washed everything. When the snow started melting we noticed the porch was full of cigarette butts from prior tenants. This was pretty gross for us and we could not let the small kids go out on the porch due to nasty cigarette butts. - DOSE NOT COME WITH LINENS OR TOWELS! Would have been nice to know earlier as we flew in from Texas and did not pack these items. Upon arrival at 10:00 we had to make a Walmart run to get linens and towels. On her lighter advice that they had a linen service we could rent from but the cost was substantially higher than what we paid to purchase the items. - The furniture is pretty worn out! The beds are the hardest beds I have ever slept on. The sofa downstairs on the first level is torn and the upholstery sofa on the second level is just worn down. Great for napping but not very comfortable for sitting.

Fine, but just fine. Not the best rental.
We booked this house solely for the hot tub, and the one in the property currently is not the same one in the listing pictures. We had a hard time getting the temperature set the first night, but the property owner didn’t hesitate to call and talk us through it. We really appreciated his open communication and do recommend his service. Even with his directions, we couldn’t turn off the waterfall feature in the tub, so it wasn’t as relaxing as we hoped.
Inside, the house was cleaned, but it is in desperate need of some TLC. There wasn’t a comfortable spot to sit in the couch as all of the couches, chairs, and mattresses are old and shot. Some of the couches were even ripped with the stuffing coming out. The beds were all flat as boards, so thankfully for just the 2 of us, my husband and I had our choice to find the lesser of all the evils.
The paint on the walls was chipped and peeling in more than one spot, some of the rugs were ripped, the sink in the master bathroom was cracked, etc.
Overall it seemed like no one has put any effort into the house since the late 80s. The size and space have potential to be an awesome spot, but as is, it really falls short.

Great Spacious House
We just got back from a mid week stay. We had a decent size group. The house is laid out great with many spacious areas indoor and outdoors to give everyone room. The lower lever was ideal for our teeenagers to hang out and sleep, pool table, hot tub and large bedroom!. Joe the owner was very receptive and quick to any questions I had from booking through staying. Great central location of house as well. The only thing I would add is more cooking supplies. Thanks again for an awesome week.

Plenty of space. Fun for families.
This house was great for 12 people. It was nice having the hot tub and pool table to keep the kids entertained. House was clean but outdated and the lack of essential items took a star off the rating. There are no hand towels in kitchen or bathrooms. There was enough dishwasher soap for 1 load when the house holds 14 people and we had 3 nights booked. Dish soap and hand soaps watered down and the kitchen is quite tiny for a big house. Sheets are NOT included which was not known until after we booked. Went back to check and this was in the fine print of the listing. This should have been clear in the main description of the house. Overall it got the job done and we had a good family vacation at the house.

Property was spacious, beautiful scenery, clean working appliances,
This property was our first experience booking through vrbo. Property owner was easy To reach. Location is gorgeous at all times of the day/night. WiFi signal was Really weak. Sleeping arrangements worked out perfectly, However the listing states there is a sleeper sofa in the game room and there was not. The deck room Exiting the kitchen Had a huge picnic table That fit our group no problem, The Thin area rug was a tripping hazard but we managed. We were over all extremely pleased with the condition of the HOT TUB it was a big hit! Plenty of space to get comfortable and enjoy a relaxing getaway. Would recommend the linen service for this listing. We Will definitely book This property again.

Everything I hopes for
The place was amazing and such a good price for what you get. Hot tub was great, pool table was great, and there was plenty of space for everyone. The little beach/lake was so cute and secluded, and there were plenty of nearby hiking trails. One thing I wish there was more of was trash bags. There were only the two places in the trash cans when we got there with one extra. We made it work but proving more trash bags would have been helpful. Other than that, my only complaint is that I wish we could’ve have stayed longer. I loved this house and would absolutely stay here again.

Good Experience
We enjoyed our stay. The property has some great amenities, like the pool table and jacuzzi. There is a lake and pool for area residents, unfortunately we were unable to use these due to our wristbands being accidentally thrown out by the previous guest. Property managers were very responsive, though they were unable to get us replacements. We settled for nearby activities, lakes, and parks, which were all great.

June 2020 review
My husband, son and I stayed here mid-June 2020. The property is conveniently located near Hickory Run State Park and is in a community with access to a lake, private beach, a pool and clubhouse. The beach and pool were only open on the weekend which was disappointing and not disclosed. The house could use some updating and new mattresses but overall served its purpose. We were only able to use the hot tub 1 night and noticed a musty smell while in it the first night. We immediately reported it to the property manager who provided us with troubleshooting tips. When those did not work we communicated again in which he had someone come out on the 3rd day. Upon arriving at the property on the 3rd evening the hot tub was not satisfactory to use. We communicated again with the manager and stated we planned on leaving a day early due to the burden of the hot tub issues. He offered to drain the tub and have it ready the next evening but at that point we restated we were done. We asked for our 1 nights stay back and addtional money to compensate for inability to use the hot tub as this was the primary reason we chose this property. Unfortunately, we were refunded only the 1 nights stay. Throughout our stay the property manager was communicative but just was unable to resolve the hot tub issue.

Family Trip
We had a great time. Everything went well and we enjoyed our stay. Lots of room for adults and kids. We enjoyed the hot tub and the older kids enjoyed playing pool and the games.
A few things could be fixed and updated but overall, the house was very big and it was very relaxing to unwind by the fireplace. Thank you for opening your house to us.

Cozy home!
The home was cozy, clean and spacious. The home looks better in person, pictures do it no justice! The owner was responsive when needed. Liked it so much we stayed an extra night. Close to ski resort Big Boulder. Quiet community. I highly recommend this home to others.

We really enjoyed the hot tub and the location was fine with us. There were plenty of restaurants around to choose from and trails to hike. In our opinion, the house could have been a little cleaner and some things were broken, like the microwave and the upstairs toilet.
But overall we had a nice time.

Good location, peacful, plenty of room
The check in process was a bit of a challenge, we arrived at 12:30 with an 11am check in and could not get in or get a hold of the owner. So we went to lunch and get gas as we had been driving all day. We were then able to get in at 2:00pm. Once in there was a lot of room. The owner did finally get back to me and apologized. We did not have any issues after that. There were in house air conditioners that we did not need at night, the community area was nice and it is not too far from Camelbeach water park. All in all a nice stay for 6 adults and 6 kids.

Spacious but dated.
Our family of 15 recently stayed here. We had plenty of room. There were beds enough for everyone, not the most comfortable however. We could all sit down for our meals with the table inside and the picnic table on the covered porch. The backyard was very spacious, the deer came by just about every morning and evening to graze and we were able to set up a net for badminton. Once we cleaned out the BBQ, the grease had caught fire on the bottom when we first used it, it worked great. The couches and chairs could be replaced they were past their prime(the leather couches were peeling more than just a little). I wrote to the owner a couple of times asking what we needed to bring in terms of the pantry items but he never answered me. It seemed like he had automated letters that he sent and didn't seem to read what was sent his way. As a result, we discovered that there was no dishwasher detergent, a haphazard array of condiments which would have been nice to know ahead of time. Overall we enjoyed our stay, the neighbourhood was quiet and clean, and as long as you're not looking for a plush interior it was great!

Relaxation
If your looking for an escape from the norm and want peace and tranquillity then this is a place to be. Relax in the Hot tub or jacuzzi or play some pool. The community is a beautiful place and the scenery is also calming. We enjoyed ourselves immensely
