The space was immaculate, beautifully decorated, and had all the amenities one could need. The location was perfect, close to local attractions and convenient for exploring the area. I felt right at home and appreciated the thoughtful touches like fresh towels and a well-stocked kitchen. I highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Less than Luxurious

Pros: The location is good for Kalahari, ski resorts etc., and there are a lot of beds as described in the listing for many people to sleep.Cons: In spite of the number of beds to accommodate a large group, the home is not set up otherwise for it——barely enough towels, not enough silverware, not enough hot water, and the HVAC system isn’t designed to keep all the rooms comfortable—-one will be hot while another is cold. Additionally, the smoke detector batteries were not all functional and the ice in the driveway/porch not attempted to be remedied. Finally,the kids couldn’t spend time in the basement, as we discovered mouse droppings on the pool table and the smell wasn’t tolerable…, so overall the cleanliness was not up to par.

The host was incredibly friendly and responsive, making sure our stay went smoothly. We all had a fantastic time and would absolutely recommend this place to friends. Looking forward to coming back again!

Very Dissatisfied

Cleanliness was a concern, with unpleasant-smelling towels, dirty cabinets, and wet dishes left in the kitchen. We also noticed signs of rodent activity, and trash was overflowing in the driveway when we arrived. Maintenance was another issue—furniture had cigarette burns and rips, the smoke detector was beeping upon entry, and the back sliding door did not lock, which raised security concerns.The quality of the furnishings and materials also felt below standard, with poorly installed particle board cabinets. These factors detracted from what could otherwise be a pleasant rental.With some focused updates and attention to detail, this home could become a welcoming space. Until then, we recommend checking with the host to ensure these concerns have been addressed.

Help with this matter

Hello, my name is Robert Isakov and I have an issue with the stay that I had just conducted. On July 4th, my family and I have booked the following house and we were all so excited to enjoy the weekend however, we didn't joy a bit. When we arrived at the house, the first thing we saw was how dirty the front porch and the surroundings outside. When we came in we were struck with the smell of dust and spider webs on practically all the walls in the rooms. Instead of my family and I enjoying my vacation I had to drive to Walmart and buy cleaning supplies because there was nothing provided in the house (although they said they have everything). Following that, for 4th of July we wanted go to the community pool but when we went to look for towels, the host explained that there were towels for all 11 guests however, there were only 3 towels for the guests, so instead of going to the pool we went to the store and had to by towels for all 11 guests. (Why do I have to buy towels when I am promised that they are provided and enough for our guests). That night we wanted to do some grilling on the grill that was provided however when I opened the grill it was so rusted to the point that there was rust peeling when it was windy. In the grill there was also a bee hive inside the grill. After we came back from the pool, we wanted to wash our cloths in the washing machine, however when I opened the machine and it was full of dust and clumps ofhair and it was unsanitary to was clothing.

We had a wonderful stay. We ended up having a carbon monoxide leak in the 1st home when we got there. Right away we called and was given the house right across the street. I appreciated how quickly i was responded to not to mention how quickly she gave us a new house. some of the outlets didn't work but other than that it was a nice house and we all fit great!

House nicely renovated

House is renovated and games for the kids which is amazing. Downside, the shower only dripps water and very hard to shower. Place wasn't very clean We found wrapper of chips under the bed and blunt wrapper on one of the beds. Overall the house is cute and welcoming but cleaning management need to shape up. Also, in the winter time, the club house is useless and a waste of money as we didn't do or have any association with them

House has good space for a big family but needs improvement on cleanliness and furnitures

The house is big enough to accommodate up to 20 people. There are 15 people in our group so we had enough space for everyone. The communication with the property management is good, he answered all my questions and handled all changes in terms of number of people. We were able to access Pocono Farms country club where we played tennis, picnic and played games by the beach. This is a big plus for this property. The kitchen is big enough for our group to prepare and cook food. The dining room needs more chairs to accommodate all 15 of us. The dining table should also be bigger for our group. But we were able to manage and had fun. We also used the dining table for poker and other games. The house needs improvement, here are my suggestions: - the carpet in the living room should be replaced, it's very old, it is folded on the edge where anyone can trip. - the windows should be cleaned thoroughly, when you open it for fresh air, the screen windows are really dusty. - the floor under the sofas should be vacuumed. - All mattresses should be upgraded. The two beds in the attic are very squeaky. The bedsheets are not clean, we found hair on the beds, looks like it was not changed. - the half bath in the first floor should be finished. -- there should be at least a hand towel in the bathrooms. -- all bedrooms should have at least a dresser and a mirror. This house has potentials if only the issues above will be addressed sooner. We still had the best weekend getaway.

Great family Getaway

You are literally close to all the Poconos has to offer. This house was perfect for my large family weekend. This is one of the few houses that not only offers over five (real) bedrooms, but they also have 5 bathrooms! Great property and easy communication.

Do not EVER stay here unless you enjoy bailing raw sewage out of bathtubs for hours,

Subject line: Do not EVER stay here unless you enjoy bailing raw sewage out of bathtubs for hours, experiencing intense stress, revulsion, anger, and helplessness, and getting charged for it! Details below. Picture this: You and your friends haven’t seen each other in a while and are getting together to celebrate. The second day you’re there, despite the fact that you absolutely did not flush anything out of the ordinary, two of the three toilets fill up with water and are unable to be fixed, even with copious plunging. They’re still draining slowly, so you simply decide not to use them. The homeowner does not respond to your pleas for help. The next day, you call the homeowner and he says he is sending over the neighbor, who is a handyman, to fix it. The handyman never shows. Down to one toilet, you’re still doing okay. Then someone does laundry. All three toilets overflow, soaking some of your clothes with sewage water. This is clearly a DEEP, SYSTEMIC PLUMBING ISSUE. You call all three of the listed numbers for help, and no one answers any of them. Helpless. You decide to simply not use any water, and get through the last day of what was supposed to be a nice trip as unscathed as possible. Ha. The next day, the handyman finally shows up, says he cannot fix it, and leaves. Then, more than two full days after informing the homeowner of the problem, he sends the woman who cleans the house with some industrial drano to fix the problem. She works on it for an hour and a half, and then leaves. “Thank goodness,” you think. “At last, the end is in sight.” IF ONLY. Instead of draining, all three toilets and both bathtubs begin to FILL WITH RAW SEWAGE AT AN ALARMING RATE. The cleaning woman is shocked and says there is nothing she can do to fix this. The homeowner is (again! unsurprisingly!) unresponsive. So, instead of having a nice dinner on your last day together, you and two friends realize the only way to keep human waste off of the floor until morning is to bail raw sewage out of the bathtubs. You find a large bucket and do this for the next hour. Once the bathtubs are clear, the toilets start filling up rapidly. You are barely able to clear all three toilets before they are at the brim again. Now I bet you’re thinking, “wow this is a really detailed hypothetical...did this happen to these renters?” Yes! It was truly one of the most disgusting and stressful experiences of our lives. And somehow it continued to get worse from there.
