Enjoy nature on the river. Either at the picnic table by the fire ring, or inside this rustic cottage with knotty pine interior with screened in back porch, fireplace and Foosball table.

We had a wonderful stay! The host was very friendly and welcoming. Their house was very well stocked, clean and had everything we needed (plus more) for our stay. We loved the family room with foosball table. There is plenty of seating throughout the house. We loved building fires in the fireplace and also out back while overlooking the view with the tranquil creek. We truly found a gem in the Poconos and will be coming back again in the near future!

Where do I even start. First of all, I was under the impression that this place was semi secluded. Did not feel private in the slightest. Next, there was a busted car sitting in the grass next to the house. This place is listed as ‘riverfront’. LIARS. As soon as you walk in, theres an odd smell that I can only compare to a retirement home. The lock is also almost completely exposed from the inside; the wood is rotted away from the front door and it looks like the door is a few months away from falling apart. There’s also scotch tape on the door .There are burn marks and stains on the downstairs carpet. The foosball table is falling apart, and my sister fell over after trying to use it since the leg shifted the weight of the table, causing it to almost collapse. There are also some odd high top chairs that look like they were taken from a dive bar. Some of the chairs have rips and tears. The bathroom is INSIDE the kitchen. How is anyone supposed to enjoy cooking, or enjoy a meal if the only bathroom is quite literally adjacent to the kitchen? This place is billed as three bedrooms. It is a one bedroom and one attic. The upstairs which claims to be two bedrooms is actually one attic that you can’t even stand up fully in. And to add insult to injury, there are blowup mattresses .There are scratches, holes in the walls and the molding is falling apart. The cherry on top; there is a sign insulting and making a joke about lawyers. My son is a lawyer and helped me pay for this trip.

River view property in Poconos

Cute little cottage dog friendly, great communication with owner Earl, he is very responsive to any questions or concerns. Main bed could use a new mattress or even just a pad for comfort. Suggest having carpet cleaned as some people obviously did not potty train dogs well. Otherwise nice cozy place to stay in the Poconos and reasonably priced.

We enjoyed our time at the cottage. Even caught a few fish out back! While the place isn't fancy, it did have everything you could possibly need for a quiet family vacation by the river.
