Our family had a wonderful stay at the house. Communications with AJ and Stephanie are top notch and they’re very responsive with questions, etc. The house was well equipped for our family of 11. We especially enjoyed the outdoor amenities—kayaks, paddle boards, dock area, fire pit, hot tub, and wrap around deck. There are lots of small extra touches and amenities within the house that make your stay feel like home away from home.

Pocono family vacation
Roomy home with everything we needed. Close to shopping and restaurants with enough seating and dishes for our family of 12 to cook and eat together. The kids loved all the retro video game machines and actually caught a few fish in the lake right at the end of the backyard. The host was super-responsive and a pleasure to deal with.
