Excellent in every way
The hosts were communicative every step of the way and the house was just as described. The house was well stocked well beyond most stays on VRBO, Alex and Regina thought of every detail to make their guests comfortable and prepared for their stay. We had a large family gathering for the weekend and the house was perfect.

Great property
Great property. The amenities are perfect, and it has everything you might need! The hot tub, kitchen, indoor decor, perfect. Only note-there is a giant blue lives matter flag painted on the house, I did not see that in any photos. That might matter to some people either way, so wanted to bring it to your attention as a potential guest.

We had an absolute blast at the property during our stay in Forest City, PA. This place was a perfect mix of adventure, entertainment, and family-friendly vibes. The forest entry really sets the atmosphere—you feel like you’ve stepped into a different world with the lush greenery and playful décor everywhere.
The variety of activities was fantastic. We spent hours playing arcade games, swimming, enjoying the hot tub and even took part in setting up a fire with the provided fire woods, which was so much fun! There’s truly something for everyone here, no matter your age.
It's a great place to relax, unwind, and have loads of fun.
Highly recommend!
