We stayed at the property as an extended Christmas weekend so that all 15 of us were in one place. The layout worked great, we had ages 1 year to 77 years. Also having 3 levels was great as people seemed to move around the house. Any questions were answered very quickly.

Everything about the stay worked very well. We were comfortable and had a special time. It was a very nice place with many features, kitchen needs, and other necessary amenities provided. Communication with owner/property managers was highly responsive and very helpful. Our only item of note that could be improved is likely beyond the control of the owner and property manager who were just great. However, the attitude and ease of managing getting gate passes for guests and visitors was time-consuming and frustrating for some of our party. Patience is required. All-in-all, everything was managed and we all had a wonderful time. We would stay again when the circumstances put us back in the area.

Wonderful Vacation Spot

The home is lovely, very clean, so much room, very comfortable beds and furniture! The check in was super quick and easy, and the young woman at the desk was very friendly. The community was very quiet and peaceful. The owners have made sure you have everything you need from a coffee bar, grill, fire pit, and endless entertainment for the kids! The mini golf, arcade games and so much more, kept them busy and happy for sure! We loved sitting on the deck for morning coffee and the screened in porch with the long dining table was perfect every evening for dinner. There were 6 adults and 2 children in our group and we had more than enough room for everyone to enjoy. We went to the lake/beach & pool every morning (guest passes included) and used the kayaks, canoes and petal boat every afternoon! The owner was very nice, and answered any questions right away. You can’t go wrong with booking your stay at Willow’s Way!

Even better than advertised. Numerous things to do on the home's property and within the community it sits in. Only one hour from Scranton and countless waterfalls and hiking trails. All ages from 2 to 67 said it was one of the best home rentals we have vacationed at.Manager and owner were both prompt at returning texts with useful info and responses. A

This place reminded me of home away from home very charming place lots to do game room was a huge hit with all ages. We especially loved the huge family table inside the side porch for meals and family game nights to bring us all together. The fire pit put back accompanied by horseshoes and mini golf was a huge hit as well. Check in was so easy and reaching the homeowners was easy and they always got back in a timely manner I wish I could give them more than 5 stars for that. Very amazing place I must say

Our host was absolutely fantastic at communicating. Always getting back quickly with any questions. The house was nice and in good shape and in particular we all enjoyed the sun porch's large table to we could all eat together. A nice spot for a big group. Generally liked the hideaway as well. Nice lakes and lots to do. Just wish it was a little easier to walk places.

Great House!

We had so much fun hanging around the fire, playing mini golf, ping pong, and pool. We walked to the local ponds to fish and we caught pickerel, bass, and yellow perch. We golfed 9 holes on a beautiful golf course in the hideout. And we sat around the fire at night and enjoyed that. The house was more than big enough to sleep 15 of us. One day, my dad grilled 40 burgers and 30 hot dogs on the grill and we all sat around the table to have a feast. Not a lot of places have a table to seat everyone! 10/10 home and I would highly recommend staying here.

Great family weekend getaway!

Fourteen of us gathered to celebrate Grandma’s 70th and had a fabulous time at Willow’s place. It was nothing fancy but slept us all comfortably and we all loved the fun basement, the backyard, and huge dining table on the porch. So many houses we looked at slept 15+ people but had 6-8 seats around their dining table. Not a problem here! The community was great - we fished everyday and everyone caught something. We did have pool passes for everyone (not just six as other reviews mentioned) but didn’t end up using them because it was so cool. Marcy was wonderful to communicate with - and so accommodating. Highly recommend!

This was such a great house for our girls weekend. Check in process with the home owner was so smooth. House felt clean, safe, and you can tell the owner puts great care into her guests. Such good communication. You feel like you are in the middle of the woods. The lake is beautiful! Highly recommend this spot. The only snafoo is that gate check in process was pretty strick so make sure your registration isn't expired!!

A Lovely Place by the lake

There are 11 of us in our extended family ranging from upper 60s to a one year old. Willow's Place was just what we needed. There was plenty of room for all of us, and the house comes with a well stocked kitchen. The game room came in handy on a rainy day. The sunroom/dining room made it easy to have big family dinners. The facilities at "The Hideout" are great. The lake, the pools, the tennis and pickleball courts made it so that everyone could find something to do. We hope to return next year
