Family stay

Property was nice hot tub was low on water, but that was an easy fix great location easy to get too, I would recommend you bring pot holders and kitchen utensils. The ones provided are flimsy and need replaced. Tons of towels and beds, however spare blankets and bedding would be a nice addition. Pool table had a big patch missing and no chalk for the cues. Poker table was good for family games and the property was very clean. I would recommend this unit to others.

Almost perfect

Our stay here was wonderful. The house is spacious, very clean commodious. The pool is lovely: above ground, 4 feet deep throughout so perfect for the kids, and surrounded by a lovely deck with great furniture. Only complaint is that we all wished there was some shade in the pool area, like an umbrella. Otherwise the place is perfect for a family or large group of friends. It's very close the white water rafting, level 4 and 5, at Ohiopyle, plus the little kids amusement park at Idlewild, Fort Necessity, etc. On a scale of 1 to 100 I give our week there a 95.

House was very spacious and full of amenities with lots of room. Just as a suggestion, an additional bathroom would have been nice to accommodate all the guests. Oh. Stock firewood for guests.

Stay Away from This Place! Dirty!

Let me start with the positive....plenty of space for our large family, nice large kitchen (although lacked essentials) theater style room was a bonus and nice views. I wanted to love this place but it lacked so much for the price. When we arrived of course we wanted to enjoy the hot tub. It was not working and there was trash from previous group around it. Called and maintenance came and fixed it. It had wood stairs and no hand rail so entering and exiting was treacherous. No hooks for towels. One of our group contracted a bacterial infection (two different doctors said it was from the hot tub) which we reported to the owner but never received a phone call back to discuss. The acoustics in this home are terrible! Several of us wanted to shoot pool in the downstairs area with door closed but our friends upstairs could hear everything! My daughter went to go to bed and when she sat on edge the whole bed collapsed. After inspecting, we found the frame was twisted and the slats and mattresses were too small for frame. We ended up putting mattress on floor and that worked ok. Speaking of bed, the upstairs mattress was discovered to have large blood stains on the mattress when we striped the bed as instructed before leaving. The morning of departure the long steep driveway was covered in ice and we called and asked for someone to bring some salt however no one showed before checkout so we all skidded and slid down the driveway trying to avoid crashing our vehicles. I would not rent this place again. It was NOT worth the money!

The best house in the PA

I got say this house was perfect for big group of 11 people. It was very clean. The view from the house is breathtaking. I would definitely visit this place at summer time for their outdoor pool. The only thing was bad that it is far from NYC.
