Wonderful home with all possible necessities. Listed as 4 bedroom when it is really five, 4 bedrooms plus sleeping loft. Very comfortable and plenty of room for 7 of us. Separate living room areas made it perfect for adults and children to share home easily. Beautiful wooded surroundings and peaceful. Could have spent more time on deck if we didn't have plans. Would definitely recommend.

Loved the house

We had an amazing stay at Nataliya’s house in the Poconos! It was the perfect getaway for our group of friends. The house was cozy and impeccably clean, with everything we needed for a relaxing weekend.Nataliya thought of every detail to make our stay comfortable, and her communication was quick and helpful.

Peaceful, Relaxing, and Perfect for the Family!

Our stay was absolutely incredible. The property was peaceful, relaxing, and truly felt like a home away from home. Everything we could possibly need was right there—from the fully stocked kitchen to all the little touches that made it extra comfortable. I stayed with three teens who couldn’t get enough of the game room and hot tub, and even my young daughter was completely entertained throughout the trip. We didn’t want to leave! Highly recommend this place for families or anyone looking for a stress-free getaway.

Short Getaway

The place was very clean and had everything needed that we didn't think of bringing or forgot to bring. The host was very nice and responded quickly to any questions I had prior to arriving. There is a beautiful deck that we would have loved to use but it rained during our stay. I would highly recommend to a family or couples looking to get away to the area.

Everything was very nice. House was very clean. There were eight of us. It was a little bit tight in the living spaces but considering we were doing it to get together as a family it was fine. We had some trouble because we had a 2 1/2 year-old with us and there were a lot of knickknacks everywhere and no place really to put them up or away also it left very little room to put our belongings. I would rent it again, but maybe not with a small child or I would at least ask for them to put up some of the knickknacks so we could worry a little less about things getting messed up.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The hot tub was very nice, the air hockey table was fun for the kiddos, we had one bed that was broke when we arrived but it was repaired quickly. One of the rooms had a very horrible strong odor and even with the bed fixed we couldn’t force ourselves to stay in there. The King size bed is upstairs in a loft and there is no door, it’s open to the living/dining/kitchen area. It was a nice quiet neighborhood. We don’t care for having to drive a couple streets over to take the trash because there were no outside bins at the location and the dumpster you had to take it to is only open during certain hours of the day. When you have 8 people there can be a good bit of garbage. Overall, we had a good stay. We went to Jack Frost, Camelback, Aquatopia, and Blue Mountain and the Tannersville Premium Outlets! All of those were awesome!

Comfortable and accommodating, plenty of room. Appreciated appropriate cooking utensils. It was well maintained. Wish there was not as many knickknacks all around.

My friends and I stayed at the house to go to our favorite wine festival and to enjoy some rest and relaxation. The house was perfect for the 4 of us as we each wanted our own room. There was even a loft with an additional bed that we didn’t use, but still great to have. The roads are safe for walking/running and there is a beach near the lake for swimming. Also, our host was excellent about responding to my (many) questions.

My friends and I had an amazing time here. The home was beautiful, clean, and very relaxing. The linens and bathrooms were spotless, and the peaceful atmosphere made it easy to unwind. We especially loved having breakfast on the deck in the mornings — it was such a nice touch. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely come back again. It was the perfect escape.
