"The place was wonderful we didn’t feel the need to go out at all between the hot tub outside and indoor sauna with pool table room and indoor jacuzzi in our main bedroom, games and grill to cook food it was just soo relaxing and so awesome. The place has beautiful architecture. The host were very responsive to any question I had." - Massiel F.
"5 Star ⭐️ Rental from communication with the hosts, to the space of the property - ideal for a big group, to the sauna and jacuzzi, to the amenities provided in the kitchen - ideal for cooking and hosting, to the responsiveness of the snow storm - shoveling and providing salt for the driveway to the comfort of the home. I would recommend on your next group getaway to the Poconos." - Javonia S.
