Quiet and peaceful getaway

Great home in a nice, peaceful neighborhood, conveniently located close to many shops, restaurants and more in the poconos. My only regret was not having more time to stay longer. Will absolutely go back in the future. Thank you for letting us stay in your home!

Weekend getaway

I stayed in the in the area for a weekend and rented this house for one night. It was clean, organized and offered all the amenities needed to make my family feel very comfortable. The house is large and the outdoor space is very nice if you choose to barbecue. The house is conveniently located near stores in case you need anything. The host is an excellent communicator. I would stay there again and recommend this house to all.

Melissa was such a great host. Easy and open communication, beautiful home in a great area. We got snowed in a foot of snow and by morning our driveway was plowed and we were graciously allowed to check out later then planned so the roads conditions could improve before we left. Absolutely highly recommend this property and would be happy to rent here again.

Great place. Spacious and clean.

We had an amazing time staying at this Vrbo property for our friends' weekend getaway. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how clean and well-maintained everything was. The house itself is decorated with a fun, modern vibe. We liked the different hangout areas and nooks scattered throughout. There was a spacious living room perfect for lounging with a screen, projector and sound bar. The dining area for meals was nice. And the pool table in the loft area was a nice touch. We could easily spread out or come together as a group. The bedrooms were comfortable and the bathrooms were clean. The kitchen had everything we needed during our stay. The host was communicative and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed. I would recommend this Vrbo rental to any group of friends or family looking for a fun getaway. Between the cleanliness, decor, and plentiful hangout spaces, it made for such a memorable weekend.

The home was a home away from home. Everything that you need and more. Most of all the host was absolutely amazing. She was friendly, patient, and attentive to any questions I had. We had a great thanksgiving here and look forward to returning in the near future.
