Thanksgiving
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.

Mostly great
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.

Spacious home with lots to do! Our reunion with 3 couples & 6 kids enjoyed cooking in the gorgeous, well equipped kitchen, spreading out in the game room, and walking to the pond. The pool & hot tub were great perks for all of us. The deck was the perfect spot for us adults to look out over the kids in the pool & the yard. Thank you for having us! We highly recommend this home!

Family vacation
This house was a perfect fit for our shirt family getaway. With six adults and four children it was the perfect size. Location couldn't have been better, only 20 minutes from two state parks for hikes and picnics. The pond on site offered much entertainment for the children and even caught a fish. Plus we found a duck with eggs on the property. Management couldn't have been better to communicate with and was very helpful. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Nice stay
We had a group of 14 and 1 dog. Natalie was very responsive and easy to communicate with. The house came with everything you need in the kitchen and we were easily able to cook breakfast and dinner for our large group. For lunch we used the grill and sat on the deck which was very nice. There was enough space for everyone and we had a good time. The one complaint we had was that the hot tub had been drained, cleaned and refilled right before our stay but the water temp never went back up to where it should have been and was way to cold to use. We weren’t able to use it during our stay. Besides that we had a nice stay and enjoyed catching up with friends and family. We enjoyed the house and would definitely recommend to others!

We traveled from Maryland, Delaware, North Carolina and Texas to come together and celebrate our friends before their wedding! Our trip to the Pocono Mountains would not have been the same without this property! Great location with lots of things to do! The Property manager is very responsive and was helpful during booking, check-in & check-out! The house offers a lot of space and fun activities, even for rainy days! We spent countless hours in the pool, hot tub and around the campfire. When it rained we played lots of pool, ping pong & foosball. The kitchen is large and had enough seats around the counter and table to accommodate all of us eating together! It was nice being able to have so many options of things to do without ever leaving the driveway!

Beautiful and very clean home. Very quiet area , excellent host
This was a last minute trip with few friends. We stayed at another home hosted by Natalie and we had great experience at that home so decided to go through Natalie again but another home. The home is very private, very clean, comfortable. Natalie was great as usual. This home has basically everything you need. Game room and hot tub were a huge plus and fire pit was great when we were enjoying cold nights outdoors. We would like to come back in the summer when the pool is open. Thank you Natalie for another great getaway.
