Poor Check-In Process Overshadowed an Otherwise Average Stay
The check-in process was extremely frustrating and set a bad tone for our trip. The property is inside a gated community where all vehicles must be registered at the gatehouse. This process was incredibly disorganized and took us over 90 minutes to complete. Despite communicating with the host during the ordeal, the situation dragged on due to mix-ups and poor coordination between the host and gate staff. Sitting in the car for that long with two kids and a dog was miserable, and not the way you want to start a vacation.The neighborhood itself felt somewhat run-down and a little unsafe. Because of that, I didnât feel comfortable having my son sleep in the first-floor bedroom, so he used the master bedroom upstairs while we stayed downstairs.The house was generally clean but had visible wear and tear - things like a broken microwave handle, a hole in a closet door, and scuffed walls. The sheets provided were very low-quality microfiber, which felt hot and uncomfortable, so Iâd recommend bringing your own bedding.Overall, the stay was okay, but between the stressful check-in, the condition of the neighborhood, and the minor maintenance issues in the house, I would not stay here again.
Great lakeside house. We spent all our time on the dock or in the water. Kayaks for use were clutch. Very short walk to the community pool/beach/playground/tennis courts/food. We brought our own lounge chairs for the yard. Fire pit was great - sâmores every night. Bring your own firewood.
Wow⊠what a gorgeous property! The house was perfectâŠa great size for a small family with or without pets. We thoroughly enjoyed the interior and especially the amazing lakefront view with lake access. The lake view is unobstructed by trees or brush. The owner did a great job of having a gorgeous yard with a fire pit and perfect lake views. We couldnât have asked for a more perfect vacation week.
We had an awesome time at this house. Lake view was priceless, amenities were provided (such as kayaks, life jackets, fire pit, grill, etc.), commmunication with owner/rep was seamless, house was spotless and updated, lots to do in the area. Would love to stay again and would recommend others to do so.
We had a great stay and will definitely return. It's exactly as listed. It's spotless and very well stocked. Great deck and backyard right on the water. Fantastic windows fantastic light and views. While we never saw any critters, we saw their tracks in the snow. There was quite a variety. I would definitely keep any dogs on a leash. It really is a great house in a great location, feels very private yet is close to anything you could need.We did have some bad luck considering we had a long drawn out cold spell. Pipes froze even though they took all the normal precautions. Their communication was solidly reliable. They responded immediately and the problem was as solved as that can be before we went to bed. Other than that, I would say anything more than 6 people would feel cramped and put a strain on the shower scheduling chart. If you do not like a chilly house, I would avoid deep freeze times. However, that fireplace keeps the place very warm so for us, the chill wasn't a big deal. The beds are soft but so are all the lovely linens. And there are no hooks for coats in the mudroom or towels in the bathrooms. That's the worst I can say. So go for it! Rent it! Enjoy your time with your friends and family!
This was our first experience with VRBO. It has been 11 years since our last stay in the Poconos, and we have stayed in this community in the past. The experience was seamless, and the property was exactly as advertised. Everything was in great shape and made the stay very pleasant. The house was wonderful and appointed well for a vacation. The community is quiet, and amenities are great. The host was always available, and communication was great. Needless to say, the lake was spectacular. Can't imagine staying anywhere else next vacation. Highly recommend.
Great house with everything needed to relax by the lake. The view is great!
The listing and pictures are accurate. Owner made the checking in/check out process very easy. I knew exactly what to expect upon arrival. Canât wait to go back.
This site was amazing! We were so pleased with the privacy, having a bit of space to the left of the home and a couple large lots to the right. We had direct access to the water, just as described. We enjoyed breakfast on the deck, cool mornings in the back yard underneath and encountered several deer; the most enjoyable a doe and her two fawns frolicked past the porch where we sat! The sunsets were splendid. The hosts were available for any question we had, which were a few since we were first timers. We had taken supplies but needed for nothing, everything you need is supplied. Thank you SO much for this beautiful place!
