Thanks for taking a look at My Vacation Property Rental (MVP Rental). A bit about myself before the home. I've owned and been renting properties in the Pocono's Towamensing Trails community since 2011. Over that time and across my various properties, I've handled thousands of reservations and have developed the knowledge to deliver a great experience that is super easy and smooth. So enough about me, let's talk about this wonderful entertainment space.

This was the second property I purchased. I recently converted the basement into a fantastic game room. The home has enough entertainment options to keep your kids occupied, and the fully fenced back yard is a great location to let your dog have some time off of the leash. It's a fantastic space for making lifetime memories.

Surprise family get away
Surprised my husband with a weekend get away with mother-in-law, Daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter, and family pet (Otis, Great Dane)…met son, daughter-in-law, grandson in Jim Thorpe for a train ride Saturday. Friday night we ate at Baby Boomers which was 6 minutes away and returned Saturday for breakfast!!! So delicious and all enjoyed the chef’s cooking & large portions. Dinner reservations Saturday night at Macaluso’s 20 minutes away was just as delicious. We had more than enough room plus Otis had enough room to run in the enclosed back yard. We played all the games in the basement enjoying each other’s company. Thank you Will for the opportunity my husband said he will never be able to beat the experience.

Birthday Vacay
Loved this house! I had my dog with so the fenced backyard was a hug bonus! It was also my birthday and my sister came to visit for the day so the basement game room was super fun. Will was a great host as he was very accommodating and responsive to any questions I had. Highly recommend!

Good location, but not as nice as in listing
Good location with a private & quiet backyard. Game room is nice and as described (except all the ping pong balls were dented and the pool table light doesn’t turn on). Overall this property needs maintenance. What you see in the pics does not fully reflect what you are getting now and when I inquired with the owner, he was unresponsive. We will not stay at an MVP property in the future. Little things add up: - very long dark hair in downstairs shower - food crumbs in the downstairs bed, under the comforter & white marks/stains on the comforter and pillow case. - the sofa had wet sticky cereal stuck between the cushions - the sofa and pillows are well loved and starting to look old (and not blue as pictured ??) - it was very cold in the house the first morning (56 degrees). One baseboard heater in the LR isn’t working and the other took over 3 hours to increase the heat 4 degrees. - the fireplace would not turn on with the remote (no extra batteries I could find) - we could not get the ceiling fan in the upstairs Queen bedroom to turn on (batteries?) - the blind in this room is too short, letting early sun in, and the window has no screen - the upstairs bathroom fans squeaks and rattles - nearly every frying pan was unusable with scratches/scorch marks/baked on food and the closet itself is filthy - all but one plate was badly chipped and if the house is at capacity, there are not enough (& also not enough glasses) There is an overall lack of upkeep throughout.

game room is so much fun
House is exactly as advertised. There was plenty of room for the 6 of us and our dog, but could have easily handled a larger group. The fenced in backyard was great for running the dog around. If the weather was nicer we would have spent much more time out there. The key to the house is the game room in the basement. very high quality games that had the kids and adults entertained the entire weekend. Will the owner was very responsive when we had questions about the fireplace. i would highly recommend staying here if visiting the poconos.

Wonderful Stay!
We had an amazing weekend. There were two adults, three teenagers, and two doggies and everyone enjoyed their time at the house. We found the house to be very clean and spacious enough for all of us. The dogs absolutely loved the fenced-in backyard to run around and play in the snow. The kiddos loved the basement with all the fun games. The owner, Will, was very communicative and even helped us to check in a little early due to some bad weather (which we really appreciated). We would love to return in the future for another wonderful Poconos adventure!
