The description in the amenities of the house were on point. We had a great time and the community had a lot to offer. The host was very communicative and provided everything we would need to know for the stay. If we needed to get in contact with the host, he was very responsive. Would absolutely stay here again.
We had an excellent stay here! we love the area, there is something for everyone to do, beach, swimming, fishing, kayaking. Great for families! House was well equipped with anything you could possibly need. Highly recommend!

This property had absolutely EVERYTHING you could imagine. It was clean and cozy. It was only my husband, myself and our pups, however there is plenty of room for families. The weather was a bit rainy so the board games, record player and TVs definitely came in handy. The development is quiet with beautiful scenery, especially with the fall foliage. It looks like it would be a blast their during the summer as well. The property owner was responsive and very accommodating. We would definitely recommend this property.
The cabin is just what we had hoped for. Cute, nestled in nature with a beautiful lake front view. The community is perfect for couples or families. Quiet and serene, the perfect getaway!
The place was amazing with the view and property itself!
The property was amazing! Not only did it have everything we were looking for but the location was perfect! We even got to meet and feed the deer. It was truly amazing and planning on staying here again!!!
I had an amazing time staying at this home. It was very cozy and clean. Shawn was also very responsive with all of my questions. I highly recommend this cabin for your next vacation!
This property is beautiful very quiet and relaxing. Close to alot of attractions we wanted to do. Excellent host very easy to communicate when i had questions.
My family and I had a great week spent at this lovely place. We spent most of it relaxing in the hot tube, fishing, and enjoying the views from the deck!
We loved staying at this house! Everything was so smooth - the check-in process, check-out process and everything in between. Shawn was extremely accommodating and super friendly to communicate with. Would stay again! A++
The property has an older mountain house feel which is exactly what we wanted for our family getaway. Property had everything including a great hot tub and great fire pit area for our family. I highly recommend this property for a relaxing time with your family.
We had a lovely time staying Christine and Shawn’s home. The amenities within the community are great. Hawley is a 15 minute drive away and has a great small town feel with loads of antique shops. There are some good hikes near by and the lake is beautiful. We had trouble trying to fit everything into one weekend. The house is clean and cozy and Shawn and Christine send you loads of info and recommendations making the trip easy and enjoyable
My partner and I stayed for three nights. Overall everything was great - communication with the owner was amazing, making for a seamless arrival/departure process. The house was exactly what we were looking for, and their openness to dogs made it a perfect fit for us and our 6-month old puppy. Overall one of the best poconos houses we’ve stayed at!
Our family really enjoyed our stay. House was clean and the open floor plan made it roomy enough for all 7 of us. Beautiful view from the porch and great swimming pool right up the street. Community has great activities (we particularly enjoyed the ceramics) and everyone was very nice. Host responded promptly when we messaged. Overall a great place to vacation!
We had a great time at the Poconos Fountain House. The Jacuzzi and record player got tons of use. We did some snow tubing at Adventure Center at Sky top Lodge and that was a blast!
We spent a short weekend at the Lake. Despite the rainy weather, we had the best time exploring the area with our family and 2 dogs. The cabin is cozy and clean in an excellent location. Will definitely be returning!
The owner Shawn was great, answered all our questions and concerns within minutes of receiving my message. The cabin was the ideal size for our group. We will definitely stay here again.
We had such a time playing games and listening to old records. I loved being able to have my fur babies with us. Beautiful way to bring in the new year. The jacuzzi was hot and felt fabulous! Will definitely be back in the warmer months!!
This was a perfect getaway. Away from the city, which a nice view to a lake.
The owner was attentive. House had everything we needed. And more.
It was just a peaceful home and cozy. The jacuzzi over looking the lake was a highlight.
We had a wonderful stay at this perfect Poconos home! Everything was as expected, and better. The snow was a delight to see over the weekend! Our children played the entire time we stayed here. Thank you!!
