Other Things to Note:
Wander Home requires that all guests sign a rental agreement, share a photo ID, and have their profile 100% verified. Please upload government issued ID and payment method in your account settings. We will request the agreement and ID after confirmation.

NO RENTAL AGREEMENT = NO ACCESS CODE and your reservation may be cancelled with no refund. Please complete the agreement within 24 hours from booking.

Dog fee is $150 per dog. Please let us know the breeds and how many dogs you will be traveling with so we can adjust the fees accordingly.

NOTE: We provide enough essential items to cover stays of about 2-3 nights. If you need more supplies during your stay, you can visit Family Dollar, Square One Markets, or other nearby stores.

For non-Airbnb reservations ONLY, any eligible refunds are subject to a 6% processing fee & adding the damage waiver fee ($50) is mandatory. This fee will be added to the reservation once confirmed.

Given the rural setting of the property, occasional sightings of ants, spiders, and flying insects may occur despite our year-round pest control efforts. We strive to manage these encounters to the best of our ability.

SECURITY CAMERAS / AUDIO RECORDING DEVICES:
● Ring doorbell camera at the front entry door.
● There are several Ring floodlight cameras located throughout the property. All are outside and in plain sight.

We are here for you during your stay, but our level of interaction is up to you. We are only a phone call or message away. You and your party will be able to self check-in upon arrival.

Labor Day weekend Family Fun
Family came from WV and MA to enjoy a long weekend of fun! A little rain didn’t stop our fun since the lower level theatre room and game room were loaded! And the gym provided another space for basketball and pickleball games. Evenings in the hot tub completed the fun!! Great family house!

Perfect Mountain Escape
We had an incredible week-long stay at this Pocono mountains vacation rental! The spacious property offered something for everyone - from relaxing by the pool, in the theater, or hot tub, to enjoying some friendly competition at the pool table, game room, indoor pickleball, or basketball court. We also loved exploring the beautiful surroundings, including hiking trails and a serene pond perfect for kayaking. Plus, the abundance of table space was a bonus for our family's jigsaw puzzle enthusiasts! Overall, this amazing rental exceeded our expectations and provided the perfect setting for a wonderful family reunion. We can't wait to return!
