This is a lovely property. The game room is fun, although we didn't use it as much as we thought we would. Fenced property is great for dogs. I think it would have felt more pet friendly if the host had provided the sheets to cover the couch as requested, and if the bedding didn't also have to be covered. There was also a request to vacuum up the dog hair at the end of the stay. Communication with the host was excellent. The appliances weren't very new, so we did have some issues that he addressed promptly. Some things were a bit limited, like only 1 dish towel, very few dishwasher pods for the capacity of the house. Trash has to be hauled quite a distance away.I can't speak to the amenities because it was late September, so we didn't utilize the beach or the pool. All in all a very fun stay in PA. Weather was lovely, house was ideally situated for my purpose and had plenty of room for my guests.

Comfortable and Would Come Back!

Our stay was very enjoyable and everyone had a great time! The listing was accurate - all the amenities and variety of things to do within the house kept us busy. Kitchen was well stocked and thought out. The house was cozy especially during the wintery nights. We will definitely come back for a longer stay.

Nice house

We had a good stay. Only problem was an uncomfortable bed and couch. The kitchen was nicely stocked and the yard was great for our dogs. We did have to wait until the dishwasher was done and all dishes put away per rules so we were delayed leaving. Please note that you will have to wear a bracelet to use pool, beach and garbage drop off

I'd really go to 4.5. The only issue is the very loud air conditioners, and the difficulty getting the lower bedroom to a dry comfortable temperature.The house is as advertised. Linens and towels included and ready to use. Clean and comfortable. Unfortunately due to a personal emergency we couldn't bring our dog but I'm sure he would've loved the yard. The game room in the basement was awesome for us and our 2 adult kids. The lake beach is beautiful and the pool looked nice though we didn't get to use it. Only downside is be prepared to drive for almost anything like restaurants. But we found good ones within 15 minutes!!

Perfect Weekend Getaway

This stay was a perfect weekend getaway. My friends and I wanted to have a weekend away with the pups and this was a great place. Huge yard for the dogs, basement was an arcade with all games, and the living room was perfect for lounging and watching tv. The kitchen was a great size for cooking. The only complaint we had is that the kitchen supplies need to be upgrade. But all in all, would 100% stay here again.
