Private Getaway in the Poconos!

We had a blast! The house is great, a little outdated as other reviews stated but has a nice homey cabin feel with everything you need. (i would just recommend bringing your own sharp knives if you plan on cooking while you’re there) We had a few issues arise while we were there but the owner was quick to send someone out to fix and address our issues immediately! Love how it’s private so you don’t feel like neighbors are watching you in the backyard. We went out on the kayaks and the canoes every day and used the hot tub as well. The open kitchen/living/dining area was perfect for our big group. We did tons of crafting and games on the huge dining table. We didn’t use the community amenities because of rain almost every day we were there but just know you do have to pay extra for passes for anything in the community. Our group did bike rides nearby and we also drove to Kalahari (about 15 mins away) to hike their waterfall trail behind the waterpark…highly recommend, but it is a HIKE so be prepared! The check in process through the gates was a little confusing for our group but as long as you read and follow instructions, it’s a breeze. thank you for a wonderful week of memories!

We really enjoyed our stay with our family. Location is great: peaceful, secluded, and on the lake. We enjoyed the use of the canoes, kayak, fire pit, hot tub and game room. Owner was helpful and communicative. House is in need of updating and I made the mistake of not noticing there was no air conditioning. It didn't take away from our lovely time together.

Decent Stay

The rental was decent overall, but we did experience some disappointments. We stayed here to celebrate my sister’s 30th birthday and enjoyed skiing and snowboarding during our trip. The house itself was very nice and contributed to a good time, but there were a few issues that impacted our stay.First, the hot tub wasn’t ready when we arrived. It was at 67 degrees and didn’t reach a usable temperature until the second night. On top of that, there was no hot water for showers on the first night, which was frustrating. While the hosts came out to resolve the issue, they should have made sure this wasn’t a problem before our arrival, especially considering the price we paid.Additionally, the HOA rules for this property were a bit strict. You’re required to provide the names of all guests (maximum 12), check in at a gatehouse for parking passes, and ensure compliance to avoid fines. Guests are also required to take all garbage to the dump (a five minute drive) after their stay or face a 25 per bag fee from the host. Finally, you either need to rent or bring your own bed sheets, which felt inconvenient.Overall, the house was nice, but these issues detracted from the experience. I certainly give it credit for being pet friendly though (20 a day for our dog which was fair).

Wonderful Family Getaway

Went away with our extended family for a Christmas getaway and it was perfect for what we needed! Loved the open floor plan so we could be in the kitchen and still interact with those on the couch. Loved the space in the basement for games. Very spacious, 11 of us and we never felt on top of eachother. The only minor inconvenience was the beds being very hard and uncomfortable to sleep. Overall we had a wonderful family trip and would 100% Stay there again!

Layout was perfect for our group of 6 adults and 5 children 3 and under. However, the property itself is very dated and seems like very little has been done to improve it over the years.

40th Birthday Celebration

We stayed in this property for a weekend to celebrate my husband’s and my 40th birthdays with friends! It was absolutely perfect! The amenities included a spacious hot tub, high quality sauna, kayaks/canoes just a few steps in front of the house and game room. The lay out was well thought out for groups of 12 as the upstairs and downstairs had plenty to offer and plenty of sleeping space. We all enjoyed our stay thoroughly. The price was extremely reasonable and we did save money by opting to bring our own linens. Linens are available to order from the association for an additional cost. Joe, the owner was very friendly and helpful. -Katie

Multi-Family Lake Hideout

Met two other families here for a great, relaxing trip. The weather kept us in every afternoon, but we didn't mind. The teenagers played chess on the screened in porch, the younger kids played hide and seek on three floors, and the adults completed puzzles and cooked food. The rules for the lake were a slight inconvenience, which is why one category is 4 out of 5. Highly recommend!

Place is really nice and have a rustic look and feel to it

The place is really nice and has a rustic look and feel to it. We used the hot tub, wood stove, and kayak in the lake. We wanted to use outside firepit but ran out of time. There was only 3 couple on our trip so we all ended up taking each floor and each floor has its own bathroom so that was nice not sharing lol. There are 6 rooms so definitely would have accomodated a lot more people than 6. Billiards, foosball and table tennis we used as well. Place needs a chalk for billiards but other than that our stay was great! I do recommend the place and we intend to come back with a bigger group!
