A fun weekend in the poconos
The property is absolutely beautiful, it was great rolling up to the driveway for the first time and the additional guests saying “This is where we are staying?!” The amenities around in the community were great as well, we didn’t get to check out the community building but everything else we were able to check out was beautiful and easily entertaining. The house had more than enough room and we were able to keep ourselves very entertained with the many board games and arcade machine at the house. Would highly recommend this place to family and friends if they’re looking to take a trip out to the Poconos!

The perfect getaway stay
This property is exactly what you’re looking for in a getaway. The place was very clean and neat, plus the decor enhanced our experience just so much more. We didn’t use the community’s amenities due to our short stay, but the house had everything and more we could have asked for. The theatre room was very cool and the board games, plus outdoor games available brought us all together and had a great time overall. Our host was super responsive and available to help and answer any questions we had throughout our stay. The snacks and guide book provided were a nice detail too.
