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.

Fun relaxing vacation.

For a relaxing vacation in an amenity filled community in the Poconos you can't find a better place. Our family had a great time, the house was full of fun games and my daughter and I had a great time playing on the Xbox. The pool down the street is very close and easy to get too. My son loved the finishing in the lake across from the house, we caught several large mouth bass. Sean is super friendly and will answer any questions you have as well as the welcome packet they send when you first book is full of useful information and makes the check-in process super easy. Thanks again for allowing us to stay in your home.

Weekend Getaway

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

Winter vacation

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!
