A lovely and comfortable place for a quick getaway to the Poconos. The house was clean, well-appointed and conveniently located to the town of Jim Thorpe as well as the lake. We were even treated to deer grazing in the front yard daily. Beautiful. We all enjoyed our stay very much. Thank you so much.
