A magnificent home. Every inch of this 6000 Sq foot house is decorated from floor to and the ceilings . The house stimulates all the senses whether it’s the furniture, the paintings the statues , the chandeliers or the wall colors . We were a group of 9 adults and we took as many pictures of the house as we did on the hikes , rafting and biking we did in the Poconos. A unique gem and beautiful gateway fo the Poconos for a large group .
