We enjoyed our stay. The proximity to the pool, hot tub and walking trails and neighborhood in general was very nice. Going up to the actual unit The dryer vent was totally clogged outside and looks like it hasn't been cleaned in years. The welcome mat was very dirty and exterior by front door very dirty. When you go into the place, the bones of the place are very nice and the paint was very pretty. The bathrooms have been updated so they are nice. However, the mattresses were very uncomfortable. Both bedrooms can use new comforters as well as new mattresses. The washing machine is extremely loud & sounds like a plane taking off. The towels and bath mat downstairs were old and dirty. There is nowhere to sit outside on the deck. It would've been nice to be able to sit outside and enjoy the view. The interior furniture downstairs is old and dated, and needs to be replaced in our opinion.
We had a nice time overall enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The neighborhood was very pretty but this unit needs some cleaning & updates.

NYE at Mountain Creek Vernon
The entry passcode to the property was incorrect. There was no quick way (no phone number) to contact property owner or manager. Fortunately, property rep. showed up at the gate and gave us the correct code.

Pet Friendly Weekend Getaway
Just like last year, we had a great weekend. The condo is in a beautiful community near wineries, hiking and a great dog park. The view from the back balcony is gorgeous. We will definitely be back.

Amazing place.
This property was beautiful, everything was clean and in order. I spend four days there with my husband, three children and my beagle dog. I loved that I could bring my dog because he is part of my family. A big thank you to Mariusz, the owner who welcome pets to their property. The kitchen was well equipped to prepare our food. There is an Acme supermarket like 5 minutes away where we were able to buy food to cook but around the area we also found different fast food places like McDonalds, chinese food and pizza.
We love this property, the view from the balcony was nice, from there we can appreciated how amazing the nature is, this place gives us peaceful days to connect with nature which can not been seen from the city. Walking outside by the ponds was beautiful and specially for the kids, listening in the morning the sound of chirping of the birds. We also love the hot pools which they are open from 10 am to 10 pm. Very clean and my kids were so happy when the lights were on at night. The owner of the house was able to answer any question that I asked. I really recommend this property and hopefully in the future, I really hope I can come back. Thank you so much.

Easy Getaway
Four of us came from Long Island for a change of scene and some light adventure. The rental was just as pictured, bright and clean. The gated community was very well maintained with pool/bbq/tennis/wetlands. Thanks for sharing your space with us!

Nice getaway weekend
Nice place for a quick getaway from NYC. Went hiking nearby. Very clean with good amenities. Only negative was the hot tub was closed due to covid, but that was ok, still had a great time.

Weekend ski getaway
Perfect location, bright and colorful condo, beautiful scenery. It was everything we needed for a quick weekend getaway to ski and relax at Mountain Creek. Loved the view off of the back deck. The complex is adorable and would love to go back when the amenities (fire pit, hot tub, etc.) are open. Easy communication with the owner and check in/out was a breeze.

The location is perfect - a bright, comfortable property with easy access to state parks, restaurants and farms.The owner communicated promptly and everything was easy to find. The place is bright, filled with natural light, and faces a creek with nice views and birds singing in the morning.However, there are a few issues with the condo - when we arrived, there was a strong unpleasant smell in the house. We had to air out the place for a couple of hours to get rid of it.The cleaning also wasn’t great. We found traces of salt and crumbs on the table and hair in the bathtub.In terms of the bathroom - I wish body wash had been provided. I found a used bar of soap in the shower caddy, which is obviously not great during a pandemic.The biggest issue with the condo is the thermostat. It would not stay at the set temperature. It jumped to 82F(!!) by itself and made the upstairs bedroom boiling hot, while the downstairs one was freezing cold. In general the temperature around the place was very uneven.With a few tweaks, I think this place has the potential to be a perfect vacation spot within driving distance from the city!

My husband and our golden retriever had a great weekend. Close to parks for hiking and close to Warwick, NY for wine tastings! The community is beautiful and the staff on the grounds were so nice. The condo was clean and the owner was easy to work with. We can't wait to go back!

Ladies getaway
Stayed at property for 2 night mid week. I received email from Vrbo with different instructions than owner very confusion. The owner very nice and apologized . The air conditioning not working called owner propert management arrived in 10 minutes and fixed air. The Condo itself was tidy but not spotless there was pieces of rice on counter and kitchen table. We wiped everything down due to covid. The pool area really really nice . Clean with 2 hot tubs. Overall a nice stay.

Great trip
My wife, son, dog, and I stayed here for a long weekend. It was wonderful - the property is great, the pool and hot tub are awesome, and the view of the small but beautiful sanctuary is wonderful. And its location right next to Mountain Creek, nearby Warwick and Crystal Springs, is perfect.

Great condo in a serene setting
We were looking for a pet friendly place to stay near the no-pets-allowed nearby resort where our family reunion took place. This condo was the perfect solution in every way. It is in a quiet, beautifully landscaped gated community which contrasted with the enormous, frenetic family resort where the reunion was held. The condo is sensibly furnished and spotless! We used the downstairs bedroom. The bed was comfortable, with great black-out curtains. With central A/C and quiet neighborhood we slept very well. The kitchen and bathrooms have everything you need. Photos in the listing accurately reflect the property. The surprise for us is how much we loved the little gated community. The lawns & landscaping are beautiful. There are walking paths, an attractive BBQ area and pool. It was easy to communicate with the owner. All in all a great experience. Thank you!

Just what the doctor ordered
I rarely if ever leave reviews but feel compelled to do so for this place. I am a busy executive in NYC and really just needed a relaxing long weekend getaway that was a short drive from the city. The entire process was smooth as can be. Getting the keys was super easy, located at the Appalachian Hotel right around the corner. The community itself was prestige, well kept and most important quite and relaxing. The condo was immaculate, spacious and came fully equipped with everything you could want in a vacation rental. I spent most of my late afternoons on the back patio reading and listening to music from the portable Bose speaker. The scenery was peaceful and beautiful. I saw tons of wild life, including two deer. My dog loved the grounds and awesome nature walking path in the back of the property. I also golfed three times as some of Jerseys best courses are literally 5 minutes from the condo. If you like to golf, you have to play The Gorge. Little tip before arriving: read about its history and attachment to the Playboy Club and massive condemned hotel that still sits on the property. The best coffee shop in town is called The Daily Bean, named after the owners French Bulldog who can be spotted sleeping behind the cash register. I also went to the Warwick Winery for happy hour and live music. On my last night there, I had dinner at Fetch, also in Warwick and only about 15 mins from the condo. The food was excellent and beers were tasty. For the money and ease of getting there and feeling like you are truly away, you can't beat this rental property.

Wonderful escape from NYC
We (group of 5 NYC professionals) spent 4 days at this condo and everything was perfect. The condo is spacious, modern, very clean and is stocked with everything you need for your stay. The views from the deck are breathtaking. The grounds feel like a resort with super well maintained pools and hot tubs, only steps away from the condo. BBQ area and the fire pit were a nice amenity. So much to do in the area. Tons of privacy as the community is gated and feels peaceful and safe. The host was very accommodative and responsive. I highly recommend this location and the condo and certainly will return next year for a longer stay. Thank you Mariusz for having us at your property. Your hospitality is very much appreciated.

Great getaway
Lovely condo in the far northwest of NJ. Located near the old Action Park, now known as Mountain Creek, it was a nice place to stay. Nicely appointed, well stocked, it has a great view of the wildlife refuge in back of the development. The only problem is that it's wetlands, which produces quite a few mosquitos, so bring some Off!
We visited family across the border in NY and had a great time. Easy to get in and out. Thanks for the great experience!

Beautiful stay.
Really enjoyed our stay here. We would definitely stay again. Nice and quiet. Pool was great for the young ones. Grills are nice for BBQ good time. Property had everything one would need. Only thing that I can think of that was negative was the mattresses were extra firm. Besides that, what a wonderful place. A big thanks to Mariusz for allowing us the use of her beautiful condo. Thanks again! Memories made!

Beautiful property exactly as described!!!
We stayed at the condo from June 23 to June 26, 2017. The Condo was quite beautiful and exactly as described by the owner. The air conditioning worked great and anything you would need was available (e.g. kitchen utensils, toilet paper, paper towels, towels.) The condo was very clean when we showed up. The gated community was beautiful and we had access to the pool and the hot tub, which was great. We were able to barbecue which saved the cost of eating out one night.
The owner was very helpful from beginning to end and very clear with instructions for picking up keys. The only complaint, really suggestion would be that the pull out couch needs a new mattress. My son slept on the couch because the mattress was very thin and uncomfortable. Other than that, we had a great time and will be returning next year for our vacation.

The Best of the Best
We stayed over at Mariusz's place for the Memorial Day weekend, and we couldn't have been any happier! Mariusz was very prompt at getting back for any questions, before, during and after our stay, and couldn't have asked for more. The house is extremely... I mean more than you can imagine... clean, well stocked, and well maintained. We all especially loved the curved TV, which kept kids entertained in the evenings. I would love to come back to Mariusz's place if available for rent on our next trip! Knowing how good it is, I don't think it'll last that long, especially on the long weekends.

Great Location and Amenities for a Spartan Racer
This condo was the perfect location to walk/shuttle to and from the Spartan race. Comfortable beds gave for a good night sleep before and after the race, plenty of room to relax in the living area (we loved the Net Flix) and gorgeous view off the deck. Kitchen was nicely equipped and the pool/hot tub area were great! Owner was very helpful with information and good to work with...so glad we stayed here!
