My family and I had a great time in this house. The beds are very comfortable the kitchen is fully equipped. The BBQ and the fire pit outside is a plus. Located just minutes walking or by car from the lake is a very good place to stay. I Can tell the owners put attention to the details. I’ll just add a little effort to the cleaning company to make it better the bathrooms were not 100% clean. But the rest was all perfect. Thank you for the hospitality.
A great small cozy place to get away from the city
This was almost a spur-of-the-moment booking - not many properties were available, so we chose this one.
At first, I was reluctant to book this one (there were other alternatives) because the photos made it look cold. But then I remembered that almost all photos of such properties are shot at wide angles, making things larger than they are, and figured it would be okay. I was right - this place was awesome.
It was small, cozy, warm, and was just right for a couple taking a break from the city over a Halloween weekend. Jim Thorpe was just about an easy 25-minute drive, as were local restaurants and even Walmart, for a few things we were missing (coffee cream was all but sour). Also, we liked a wide selection of coffee!
The beds were on a softer side which was okay for a couple of days, but it might have been a problem had I stayed longer.
Everything was squeaky clean and shiny. Given that this is a house in the woods, being this clean is a super achievement. Way to go!
I had an issue communicating with a property manager at the start - the email listed on all the communications didn't work. Another problem was that I got an unlock code for the box with the house keys around the time we arrived at the property, and given a spotty cell phone reception, it took me a while to actually get the unlock code. But these were minor issues.
Overall, I would say we had a great time, and if we have a chance - we will definitely be coming back to this place.
The place is great, and everything was well prepared for our visit. The house was clean and warm. The host was responsive and very friendly, providing support whenever we needed assistance. We truly enjoyed our stay. Highly recommended!
The kitchen and living areas were great. So nice to have two bedrooms on the main floor and an additional bedroom and bath upstairs. Wifi access worked well. Easy to get to the property, but I had no cell coverage when it was time to navigate back to the highway.
The place was very relaxing in a nice quiet community with lots of things to do. We had a great time and it was so easy and relaxing to rent this cozy house.
Property was very nice and set up well. A lot of kitchen utensils and well stocked. Beds were very comfortable. Our only concern was there was no real hot water. It was hot for about 1-2 minutes and then went to luke warm. 2 different people were sent out and determined the hot water heater was just not working. No ones fault just one of those things that happens. Over all the property was very nice.
This was the absolute perfect place for our family to visit. The house and all of the accommodations were perfect for our needs, from the coffee and tea bar to the quick walk to the lake and the deer in the yard. Our time here was so serene and we will definitely return for another visit!
The house was great for a weekend with family. It was clean and fully stocked with everything we could have needed. The location is great and easy to get to. Definitely recommend!
The home was spacious, beds were very comfortable & everything was very clean! We loved how homey it felt with all of the decor & everything we needed for a weekend away. The location is also great right by the lake! We can’t wait to come back & stay here again! Brittany was also very accommodating & got back to us quickly.
Perfect family getaway. Clean house full of amenities. Lots of living space and room to relax and enjoy the trip. Lots of shade and outdoor seating. Daily visits from deer. The community has lots to do for the family.
This place is the perfect spot if you're looking for a relaxing vacation! This was my families 2nd time here and we all had a blast each time! This house is super clean, welcoming and comfy. Located right near the lake and pool, we made great use of both this weekend. The hosts are exceptionally kind and you can tell they take great care of their property. The coffee bar is my fav part! Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a quiet getaway :)
This house was the perfect size for our family and absolutely exceeded expectations! It's situated in a wonderful spot (easy access to many of the area attractions) and was a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of the city. The property manager (Brittany) was incredible - responsive, helpful, and friendly. We will absolutely be back!
Great place with a home feeling. Enough space for all but special touch feels cozy.
Extra towels, coffee and tea via Kuerig. Cable and the most comfortable bed and pillows. Topped off with nearby Lake and hammock in front to view deers. Great place to create memories for a lifetime.
The Rental coordinator Brittany was very responsive and helpful through the process. The house has sleeping space for about 8 people but the kitchen area is very small so groups of more than 4 people might not do better in a larger house. The house was clean and well furnished. I would stay there again.
Exactly as described. All amenities were in perfect condition. Super comfy and clean. Beds were fantastic. Would definitely recommend this property to a friend or family member to stay, loved that it was just the right size for a couple kids upstairs in the loft and two separate bedrooms downstairs for the adults. Don’t hesitate to book!
Just had to share this beauty! The inside of this beautiful cabin is fresh and modern! Upon entering I felt like I was at a 5 star hotel! It was very clean and well put together! It had enough room to sleep 8 comfortably and the kitchen and bathrooms are both beautiful with upgraded appliances etc! I can’t say enough about how clean it was- it looked like a 5 star hotel! If your looking somewhere to stay that’s in a beautiful place but has the amenities of home- this is definitely it!😝
My family of 5 really enjoyed this property for our weekend trip. The house was extremely clean! We were very impressed with the layout and decor. The beds and pillows were all very comfortable. Blankets and comforters were soft and cozy on a chilly fall weekend. My teenage girls loved the hammock on the property which they could see the lake from. We stayed just as the leaves were starting to change so it was beautiful! Booking and key access was super easy. You do have to take your own trash to the dumpster but it was a very short drive and a super easy process. We definitely recommend this place and hope to stay again!!
