Communication was quick and easy, and we arrived Friday night with zero hassle getting in.The house sits right on the lake with a private dock and an awesome backyard, complete with a top-tier fire pit setup. Friday night gave us the perfect sunset—we grilled, hung out by the bonfire, and soaked it all in.Saturday morning, we woke up to a misty, overcast sky. The light rain over the pond gave everything this calm, moody vibe—honestly, the perfect atmosphere to slow down and enjoy the view.Inside, it’s got everything you need: a fully stocked kitchen, a cozy living room with a fireplace, a proper dining area, and the ultimate garage mancave—think ‘90s sitcom vibes with Pac-Man, pool, foosball, and more.Upstairs, the master loft is super cozy with a chill lounge and a private upper deck—perfect for morning coffee with a view.Every detail was on point: easy-to-use grill, thoughtful amenities like toothbrushes and toothpaste in every bathroom, and plenty of fresh towels.10/10. Would absolutely stay here again.

We went as a family of 9 & had ample space to lounge around & hang out without feeling crowded at all. The teens & kids LOVED hanging out in the heated garage game room, from the billiards table to darts to bob it. It rained the for 2 days & kids could not snowboard but spent hours playing in the game room. The house was clean, the kitchen had everything we needed & then some. We loved that the grill was hooked up directly to a gas line. The homeowner was prompt with answering all our questions and checked up on us to see if we needed anything. What really surprised us was how beautiful the deck was and the walk path to the lake. The lake view was amazing it was solid ice but nevertheless it was just stunning to look at. We can only imagine how beautiful it is during the spring and summer. We made a fire pit our last night and sat around it & made some s'mores. We really enjoyed our stay & hope to go back again.. We appreciated how everything was labeled and organized. We really loved the updated heating systems that was installed. Super easy to use and super efficient. The home is in a great area, several newly renovated home surround it as well. Which really goes to show - it is valued and kept well. ##### AYSEGUL Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dariusz D.

Aug 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Highly recommend We were a group of parents, 2 older teens, and grandparents. First, the house was the cleanest vacation rental I have ever stayed in! Lots of extras like toothbrushes/paste, paper towels, napkins, dish detergent, ect. Beds were comfortable and lots of extra options if you had more people ( we did not use these). The game room had lots of fun activities for a rainy day or Netflix options on the TVs in the house. We enjoyed using the Kayaks and fished ( no luck catching anything ). Tons of nature around ( one morning on a walk my husband counted 29 deer ) and we enjoyed making smores one night at the fire pit. We had great communication with the host and she answered any questions we had in a timely manner. The only thing I would point out to someone considering renting here, is you can hear the highway when you are outside, which takes away from the nature ambiance. But I would not let that deter you, if you want a house with lots of sleep options, super clean, fun game room and outdoor options, and centrally located to lots of hiking/ outdoor experiences. I would highly recommend this vacation home. ##### Angela V. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ben C.

From the moment we arrived our group was pretty stoked! The house smelled clean, everything WAS SPOTLESS, the view was perfect. All of the little things that Valentina adds to the house just made it feel like we were staying at a hotel instead of a rental home...from the makeup towels, toiletries just in case you forgot something, to providing towels and sheets so we didn't have to lug that from home. The house was decorated so nicely with everything matching and the rooms flowing nicely from one to the next. The kitchen was stocked with everything we would need plus some. The game room provided A LOT of fun for all of us (12 years old through mid-50s)! The peddleboat and canoe were a hit and provided hours of entertainment plus the stocked pond was a hit for our fishermen! The ONLY downside of the property was the constant hum of the tractor trailers on the highway. When I think of Poconos I imagine peace and quiet but that wasn't always the case. No biggie though because we won't let that stop us from coming back in the fall. Jim Thorpe was about 20-30 minutes away, a few golf courses to choose from, Camelback Mountain was maybe 20 minutes, and Blue Mountain was about 45 minutes so we had many locations to visit. Last note-Valentina was a great host! Her communication from the start was fantastic and continued even after we left. We've rented about 6-7 VBRO and Air BNB houses and this was by far the best experience. I would highly recommend this house. ##### Lisa C.

Our must have were the fire pit, lake access and the game room which all were used at it's maximum :) One of the guys, even while fishing, caught a 21" pike! Also there is a lot of room for sleeping. Again very nice, clean place highly recommended! Thank you for having us over. Mike ;) ##### Michal K. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul O.

Including game room where we enjoyed playing Billiards in the evening. Plenty of room for all guests to relax and enjoy their vacation. The hosts responded promptly to all our questions. We recommend this beautiful place for its location and the many outdoor activities available. ##### Paul O. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeremy I.

Even though it rained one day there was still plenty to do inside with the game garage. We had a great night by the fire enjoying yard games, grilling, and we even caught a few fish! Would definitely stay here again, thank you! ##### Eric M. Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kerri P.

The house has a great flow for entertaining and relaxing. The views of the lake are spectacular - serene and so peaceful. The hosts have thought of everything as far as your inside and outside needs. The kitchen is equipped soup to nuts with everything you could possibly need. Outside there’s a deck, comfy couches for lounging, a grill to bbq, tables for dining, a fire pit, peddle boat and a canoe for cruising the lake. Every bathroom is equipped with shampoo, bath soap and towels (we forgot our tooth brushes, thankfully toothpaste and toothbrushes provided by the host, so thoughtful!!). The primary bedroom king size bed made for an amazingly restful night. The other three bedrooms are beautifully appointed and inviting. The bonus two car garage converted to game room is so much fun, equipped with pool table, dart board, corn hole, foosball table, TV, Xbox and the board games kept us content and busy. We loved the indoor pool, basketball, tennis court and playground and there is also a bar and grill at this community center with great food and cocktails. So much to do and enjoy. We loved our stay here and will definitely come back. October for the fall foliage will be beautiful and then again in Jan/Feb for the ski season and winter activities. Thank you Valentina and John❤️. We couldn’t have asked for more on this memorable vacation. ##### Kerri P.
