We stayed for family reunion at Skytop. The location was amazing . We appreciated the welcome we received with a basket of snacks and items to make a meal. Kitchen was well stocked including spice and salt and cast iron pan. The house was comfortable for our family group! The teens loved the Alexa for music.

We loved staying at Moira’s house for our family reunion at Skytop. It was convenient to be so close to the resort and have a large, private, air conditioned home. Moira was very helpful and promptly responded to all our questions. We especially loved the row of windows in master bedroom looking out at the trees - so peaceful!

We had a great weekend at Moira's clean and comfortable place in the Poconos. The kitchen is fully stocked, the beds were comfortable, and overall the house was clean and accurately described in the listing. The surroundings are peaceful and wooded and the location is close to towns, restaurants, and activities. When we had any questions, Moira or one of her co-hosts were quickly responsive and resolved issues. We would book this house again!
