Good bones but disappointing

We enjoyed our stay. The proximity to the pool, hot tub and walking trails and neighborhood in general was very nice. Going up to the actual unit The dryer vent was totally clogged outside and looks like it hasn't been cleaned in years. The welcome mat was very dirty and exterior by front door very dirty. When you go into the place, the bones of the place are very nice and the paint was very pretty. The bathrooms have been updated so they are nice. However, the mattresses were very uncomfortable. Both bedrooms can use new comforters as well as new mattresses. The washing machine is extremely loud & sounds like a plane taking off. The towels and bath mat downstairs were old and dirty. There is nowhere to sit outside on the deck. It would've been nice to be able to sit outside and enjoy the view. The interior furniture downstairs is old and dated, and needs to be replaced in our opinion. We had a nice time overall enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The neighborhood was very pretty but this unit needs some cleaning & updates.

Fantastic Location

Seven month ago I planned a wonderful ski trip to North Jersey while awaiting the arrival of my parents from Poland. Much to my surprise, this was the warmest December on record and there was no snow. However, the mountains, lakes, accommodations, service and simply being with my family, met all my expectations. The Apartment that I rented was beautiful. The view from the apartment was absolutely stunning. It is centrally located to great dining and historic touring. The owner of the rental was as gracious as he could have been and what turned out to not be a ski trip at all, gave way to a wonderful vacation.

The entry passcode to the property was incorrect. There was no quick way (no phone number) to contact property owner or manager. Fortunately, property rep. showed up at the gate and gave us the correct code.

Amazing place.

This property was beautiful, everything was clean and in order. I spend four days there with my husband, three children and my beagle dog. I loved that I could bring my dog because he is part of my family. A big thank you to Mariusz, the owner who welcome pets to their property. The kitchen was well equipped to prepare our food. There is an Acme supermarket like 5 minutes away where we were able to buy food to cook but around the area we also found different fast food places like McDonalds, chinese food and pizza. We love this property, the view from the balcony was nice, from there we can appreciated how amazing the nature is, this place gives us peaceful days to connect with nature which can not been seen from the city. Walking outside by the ponds was beautiful and specially for the kids, listening in the morning the sound of chirping of the birds. We also love the hot pools which they are open from 10 am to 10 pm. Very clean and my kids were so happy when the lights were on at night. The owner of the house was able to answer any question that I asked. I really recommend this property and hopefully in the future, I really hope I can come back. Thank you so much.
