We had a great stay! The house was spotless on arrival, and all the amenities worked perfectly, which made everything easy and comfortable. The host was especially impressive—when there was ice on the driveway, they took care of it quickly and efficiently. Excellent communication and attention to detail. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this place!
Spent a long weekend here with my family, we loved this quiet cabin in the woods, plenty of room with skiing and tubing near by, fireplace was cozy, hot tub was amazing, kitchen was updated and well equipped, we will be back again for another get away!
A sweet home for a quiet stay in the woods! We loved the impressively stocked kitchen, the available games, natural features and perfect views to kick off autumn.
I have stayed this past weekend there with my friends. We all loved everything. Everything is everything
Super clean, comfortable, we felt like at home.
I can’t wait to be back!
Great stay & even better host. The house is spacious & had plenty of room for all. House had everything we needed & more (kitchen items, firewood, bedding, etc).
The host is very responsive! Check out process is wonderful VERY simple! Would absolutely stay again.
This house was just as advertised-the kitchen was well stocked it had everything we needed to make a wonderful thanksgiving dinner and the pool table and air hockey table made it fun for family competition.
It started off with power outage in the late evening but the next morning power came back on and host sent electrician to check things out. Great customer service and would highly recommend this quiet location. Would definitely stay there again! Thank you for the extra touch that was provided!!
Clean and super organized. Everything you can think of is supplied in the kitchen. Some of the mattresses need to be updated though. Our friends and family had a great time!
We took our whole family- kids and spouses, 5 grandkids and 2 grand dogs for the long Thanksgiving weekend and had a wonderful time. The kitchen had absolutely everything we needed to pull off the Thanksgiving dinner. The grandkids loved being all together in the bunkroom. The living room/ kitchen areawas plenty big enough for all of us to be comfortable. Property is beautiful and secluded and quiet. The adults loved relaxing in the hot tub after the kids were in bed. We highly recommend this property especially for families.
We had an amazing time at this home! Upon arriving, we were surprised to find a gift basket on the counter full of kids toys and other useful things! The owners actually cared enough to remember that we were bringing two young kids with us and surprise them with toys! It was a very nice gesture and incredibly thoughtful! The home was spotless and we were blown away by how everything was labeled, making it so easy to navigate the kitchen especially. If you’re looking for a nice getaway with (or without) kids, I would highly recommend this home. Thank you again Natalie!!
The property was secluded. It had the pool, hot tub and games. But I would rather be closer to Mount Pocono. There was a lot of bugs attacking everyone. We had approx. 14 people and there was ridiculously low water pressure in the basement bathroom. So really one bathroom to 14 people. I wouldn’t stay there again, not worth the money. It needs updating and if it’s advertised for 16 ppl then 3 bathrooms would be satisfactory. Also, the fridge was in an odd place. So it was difficult in packing stuff.
Our group of 14 stayed at this beautiful home for a youth group reunion, and it exceeded every expectation! The house is spacious, thoughtfully designed, and equipped with everything you need for a relaxing and fun stay.Highlights:Hot Tub & Fireplace: The hot tub was pristine and well-maintained, providing a great place to unwind. The wood-burning fireplace in the open-concept living area created a cozy gathering space.Game Room: The perfectly balanced pool table was a hit with everyone, making the game room one of our favorite hangout spots.Sleeping Arrangements: The bedrooms were more than spacious enough for our group. The girls shared one large room comfortably, and the guys spread out across the rest of the house.Outdoor Amenities: The fire pit area was perfect for evening conversations, with ample wood provided (though we brought extra just in case).Kitchen: The kitchen was fully stocked with cookware, dishes, and utensils, and every cabinet was clearly labeled—an amazing touch that made meal prep a breeze! No one had to ask where anything was.Additional Perks:Plenty of Parking: There was ample parking for our group, which made coming and going simple.Responsive Host: This was my first time renting from someone I didn’t know and using Vrbo, which felt stressful at first, but the host made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. They were incredibly professional, responsive, and accommodating—true pros!Location:Th
I stayed with my family and everything was clean, well organized and the communication with Natalie was excellent, without hesitation I would stay again!
Thoughtfully well-appointed, comfortable home, close to skiiing! Had everything you need to cook meals and spend time with family - including a fun kids’ room! Spent some time by the fire, enjoyed the game room. Secluded, wooded setting was nice for walks and watching the snow fall!
I did not expect it to be a great as it was. Loved the fact that everything was so easy to find since everything had a label. It was well equipped i would totally recommend
The pool table was a major disappointment. It has a huge rip in the felt, right in the middle of the table, which made playing pretty much impossible. There were a few minor things that were broken (a door handle downstairs and a dining room chair) but nothing that hampered our reason for being there
Other than that, the house was perfect for our group to party in. Plenty of space. Plenty of beds. The kitchen was well stocked and was put to use. The deck was big enough to play cornhole on and still congregate.
My family and I, along with our baby, stayed here for a week. There was plenty for space and the environment is very relaxing. It has the feeling of being tucked away but a 5-10 minute drive gets you to town or to shops and restaurants. It’s easy to drive past it though, wish the house # was further out so it’s more visible. The house is pretty old so sometimes the wires would trip. Not a big deal but happened about 3 times during our whole stay. There were a few dead bugs (it’s in the middle of the woods so not surprised about this) and crumbs of chips inside the house when we first got there, and the bedsheets were stained and old. Natalie and Bob were great - very responsive and nice. We had a nice time just hanging out on the balcony and had fun playing foosball and pool in the game room. Quick drive from NYC for a nice r&r with family - we enjoyed our stay and would go back!

The house is in DIRE need of some TLC! The pictures make the house look MUCH NICER than the house is
The owners are lovely! The location is close to Camelback so that is convenient. My problem is the advertisement vs the reality. It is a WARN DOWN and TIRED house. The kitchen has the old and used versions of what is listed (except for the coffee maker)in the description. The shower is the smallest shower on the planet and the door has trouble closing. The hot tub inside was clean but everything around it is old and in desperate need of an update and scrubbing (even understanding that it is under an outside deck and it is not enclosed). If you will only use this house as a hub to sleep and with the understanding that it won’t EVER live up to the pictures on VRBO, then go for it! Otherwise, keep looking!
Had a Great time,plenty of room for my grandchildren, they loved the pool and game room! This was the only house that supplied everything,from plenty of towels to shampoo,conditioner, body wash,everything needed in kitchen,except,pizza slicer,lol
