Christine was a great host, from the moment we booked she was extremely attentive and accomodating. House was very clean and well stocked with all the necessary essentials. The kids really enjoyed the jacuzzi tub and walking the snow covered yard and streets.
What a cozy, beautiful home! We loved our stay here, it was awesome as advertised. Calm and peaceful, beautiful area and neighborhood, not too far from Jim Thorpe. Our host was very accommodating and communicative. We'd definitely love to stay here again next time we come through the Poconos!
House was clean, spacious, and well maintained. Great back deck for bbqs. Close to area attractions like Jim Thorpe, Boulder Field, and other outdoor activities. Communication with host was grear.
The location is safe and friendly, I was very comfortable staying here and walking to the water. Amenities nearby, house is well-equipped and staying was very comfortable. I recommend this place.
We loved our vacation staying at Wanda’s dream which we found to be perfect for our family. We have plenty of room and found the location be perfect with access for skiing and other area attractions. Excellent communication with host who went out of her way to make sure we had everything that we needed. highly recommend!
My family spent a lovely long weekend playing games and hanging out by the fireplace. Christine was an amazing host - always easy to get a hold of and highly communicative! The property was cozy and perfect.
My family and I had a wonderful week in the poconos. The property was clean and had everything you need for a great vacation. Christine the owner was very helpful and made herself very accessible for questions. If you are looking at the property for your vacation go for it!!
A lovely home in a beautiful area with plenty to do. Pretty lakes and parks to explore and only 12 miles to Jim Thorpe, a wonderful place to visit anytime but especially in autumn. The home has a comfortable living area, first floor master bedroom and a very nice second floor with two nice bedrooms and full bath. We enjoyed waking up each morning to watch the plentiful deer and turkeys roaming about the back yard. Christine was great in communicating everything and very responsive. In fact when we booked her home she checked in with a phone call probably less than an hour later. And she was in Italy!
Great spot for a Pocono getaway. It’s close to the community beach/lake/pool, not too far from some local wineries and the cool little town of Jim Thorpe. The house was clean and comfy, and the owner Christine was very nice and easy to work with. Five stars.
We loved our long weekend getaway. The house is clean, in a quiet neighborhood, the description is as stated, Christine is very quick to answer any questions and i would definitely stay here again. The location is close to everything we wanted to do. You will not go wrong staying here. The house has everything you need. Thank you Christine for renting your beautiful home!!!
The property was as described and the owner was very detailed and welcoming. We
arrived late and she made sure to check on our well-being.
The house is very spacious, cleaned and well organized.
We felt comfortable staying at this house with our pet.
Thank you and enjoy the house!
House was well laid out, properly equipped and clean. It was great to be able to bring our dog as well. He also enjoyed himself.. We had a beautiful view from our deck every day with lots of deer to entertain us.We hope to go back again in the near future.
My family and I were looking for a quiet Christmas retreat and found EXACTLY what we were looking for, here. The house is even cozier than listing implies (which is already pretty cozy), the space and layout accommodated my family perfectly, and we found all of the cleaning and cooking essentials we needed easily and plentifully. Christine is also an exceptional host who address all of our needs beforehand and decorated her home for us ahead of our arrival. I am a much poorer communicator than she is, but I appreciated her communications thoroughly. Expect to be treated well and to relax comfortably at this home!
Wanda's Dream is worth 500 stars! It is such a gorgeous, lovely home, which is spacious with all the comforts, and is decorated beautifully in such a cozy manner. And its location is incredible. We loved staying here and this will be our go to place whenever we get a few days time off, because I cannot think of a better place to relax and vacation at. Christine is such a wonderful host and such a lovely lady, with excellent taste - and she has the most beautiful house in the most gorgeous place. I didn't want to leave! We will keep going to this beautiful home again and again!
Enjoyed a wonderful long weekend with my wife and dog at this cozy chalet in the Poconos. So close to everything - Jim Thorpe, Big Boulder, Lake Harmony and Mount Airy Casino we have so many reasons to go back.
Because it's been so dry this fall the leaves weren't that vibrant but having so many other things to do and places to eat made us forget the leaf peeping.
Our dog loved hanging out on the porch and staring back at the deer who were constant companions in the back yard area. Saw some turkeys as well so it was great to get back to nature!
House is very cozy and has everything you'll need. Lots of vintage books and games. Christine is a wonderful, hands-on owner and answered all of our questions ahead of time as well as providing great recommendations for local restaurants and stores.
A great place to stay and we hope to return soon.
We had an incredible weekend get away here. The property is very well-maintained and has everything you need for a great time. The host Christine was incredibly accommodating and helpful. Can’t wait to be back.
Host was very communicative. House was clean and comfortable for our four adults but we could easily have fit one or two more. Close to Jim Thorpe, Lake Harmony and Hickory Run State Park.
The property was perfect for our 4th of July weekend getaway. Christine was amazing with the process and that helped make our stay even better. We could have not asked for more for our family, we will be back for sure.
I would highly recommend this property for a week or weekend in this part of the Poconos. House and location are both really nice and there’s a lot of amenities in the Towamensing Trails development. Owner is a pleasure to deal with and would definitely here again.
The home was clean and as described. The owner was attentive and communicative before we even arrived.. There was great hiking nearby and hanging out on the lake beach was a calm way to spend the days (although I highly recommend driving over, it’s more than a little walk).
