💥No extra fees.💥Just our posted nightly rates.💥Property has been featured in magazines, films and served as a backdrop for many modelling shoots.

FAQ:

Q: How can you keep nightly rates lower compared to many similar size properties in the area?
A: We are not an investment property which enables us to provide our guests with amazing value (property size, location and all amenities that we offer) at a very modest price point. That would simply be impossible if we were to obtain such a property for business only.

Q: There are no cleaning charges posted in the profile. Do you clean the property yourself? Or Do you incorporate cleaning fees into your nightly rates?
A: Absolutely not to both:) We use our longtime housekeepers on a weekly basis regardless whether we host or not. As for ‘incorporating cleaning fees into our rates’ - that is simply impossible as we are using Smart Pricing software. Smart Pricing figures rates for our property by taking into account availability of rental homes in the area. Nothing else comes into play! Our nightly rates are actually very modest compared to other homes of equal value.

Q: What do you suggest guests bring with them when they arrive?
A: I would say just personal things like clothes, prescription medications, favorite bath products.
Unlike investment properties and many other homes, our house is fully stocked. Kitchen, bathrooms, wet bar area and living spaces aren’t lacking amenities:)

Q: There are no ‘Extra Guests’ charges posted in the profile. Do you care how many guests stay at the house?
A: We complete HOA registration form for every group and only allow registered guests on premises. However we don’t believe that there should be additional charges for a larger group of guests or bigger family. That is simply nonsense!

Q: Are pets allowed? And is there a per night pet fee?
A: We only host fully grown crate trained dogs ages 3+. There is a one time pet fee that covers the entire stay. Pet fee is posted in our profile.

Q: SuperHost and Premier Host badges are posted to your profile. Have you been hosting for a long time?
A: We have been hosting way before VRBO has been around. We have guests that visit us every year for many years. We also have established relationships with number of modeling companies that use our property for commercial photography. Throughout years of hosting we welcomed so many amazing families, bachelors and bachelorettes, artists, singers, photographers, actors, writers and even a few celebrities. But most importantly, throughout our years of hosting we haven’t had a single unhappy group of guests.
-
Note for our WINTER guests: We are only few miles from Jack Frost Big Boulder Ski Resorts and Tubing.

Note for our SUMMER guests: We are right next to a white sandy beach, 2 lakes and childrens playground.

For SPRING_SUMMER_FALL guests: Grassy baseball field, volleyball court and small basketball court are all located right near the beach. Swim, sunbathe, enjoy a picnic at the beach or try to catch a fish!

Weekend Birthday Getaway!
Let me just say, if you are on the fence about renting this property, stop thinking and just book it! My girlfriend and I and a group of 8 other people stayed here for a birthday weekend getaway and it was everything and more we wanted! Masha the host was the most accommodating host I have dealt with and everything was perfect! From the pool table, to the hot tub, to the fire pit, everything was so cozy and we all had such a good time! The kitchen was stocked with all the appliances we needed and the bedrooms had all the linens needed as well. We went mid December and can not wait to come back in the summer! 5 out of 5 stars!

Pocono's Most Luxurious Hot Tub; Amazing Winter'23 Experience
The homeowner, Masha, did above & beyond for myself and friends to make our stay more than excellent this winter. The amenities provided at her home, emails received with local food places, and things to do, along with the beautiful lake and park around the block were absolutely outstanding. There are simply not enough words to say on how amazing this experience was and how YOU NEED TO JUST BOOK! Trust me. Stop looking, and book. Clean house, linens, provides toiletries, amazing amenities to use, updated appliances, forgot a toothbrush? No worries! She has everything ready for you!! More than you think a hotel would even have. I even brought my own coffee machine because I didn't know what to expect, but didn't need it - she had THREE options for making coffee in the morning!!!! THANK YOU MASHA!! Looking forward to our next stay!

Amazing weekend in the Poconos!
The perfect place for a weekend away with a group of friends. We golfed at nearby Jack Frost National, and the proximity could not have been better. The property itself is beautiful and stands out among the other houses in the neighborhood. There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for our larger group. We will be back!

This house was exactly what we were looking for. It is located on a quiet street, had an abundant of beds/bed rooms, and more than enough space for almost a dozen people to not feel cramped. The house, especially the bathrooms were clean, and filled with fresh/never opened knick knacks that friends may have forgotten to bring. Our hosts were readily available to answer any questions we had leading up to, or during our stay. One piece of advice to guests. We were always able to get an Uber where we were going, but wait times can be long, prepare for such in advance!! Thank you!

My sister's bachelorette party
I rented this house for my sisters bachelorette weekend. This ended up being the perfect house for a large group of girls. The house is gorgeous and spacious with so much to do. The hosts are quick to respond with any questions and are extremely helpful. They supply you with everything you need at the house. The private lake was amazing and we enjoyed using the paddle boat to cruise around the lake. I highly recommend staying here. My whole group had a blast.
