Highlights: the owners/reality management are very responsive, understanding and cordial. The surroundings and lake area were great. I really appreciated how well equipped the home was (dishes, seasonings, laundry detergent, appliances, towels) and the little things they provide (towel rack, plenty of seating, records). The jacuzzi was a stand out, because it worked perfectly and was easy to use (I’ve stayed in many places where this wasn’t true). The house is cozy, but big enough with the upstairs and downstairs common spaces. Lowlights: as a potential vacationer, the only thing I would caution is the lake is not very swimmable for most. The area at the dock has 3, 4 feet seaweed that was a deterrent for everyone on our trip except myself 😅 this is obviously natural and uncontrollable, hence the 5 stars review. but it did impact our stay and may warrant adjusted expectations if staying! All in all, we had a great stay, enjoyed the home & appreciated the offering. Thank you & enjoy!

Beautiful Pocono house looks exactly as pictured. The beds are comfy and the place was very clean. I appreciate the landscaped yard and air conditioning. We had a few issues but the host responded quickly and attended to our concerns. Quick little walk to the new private dock and lake.
