Plenty of room for 10 members of family. All supplies needed in kitchen, table just big enough. Enjoyed poker room with all of us. Also got to use the hot tub outside and enjoyed the deer nosing around. We had beautiful weather and had a great vacation.

Went with 2 other families and this house did not disappoint. Sure the beds were hard, aren’t they always in a rental? But the house was stocked with things to do for the kids. Didn’t make it to the Lake but the pool was quite crowded and frankly dirty. But again, the kids had a great time. I’d recommend

Would stay again
We had a very nice stay over the 4th of July holiday weekend! We had 2 families-2 parents and 2 adult children each and 2 dogs at the house. Pros: Lots to do in and out of the house; comfy beds (on firmer side); plenty of space (we never felt like we were "on top of each other"); nice additional touches like linens, towels for bathing & pool, toilet paper & paper towels, bag of ice, bottle of wine & snacks; very well stocked kitchen (no griddle tho); AC in rooms can be set to personal preferences; nice location; clear signs of some upgrades to furniture (newer dining room table than what is pictured), appliances, and bathrooms; well kept hot tub & gas fireplace seating area with large umbrella; games: pool, table tennis, fooseball, Plinko, Tetris XL Tumble; kayaks were a huge hit and easy to transport to the lake (its more the size of a pond, but had great fun fishing there); plenty of room for parking; good size gas grill. Lots of clear instructions about the complex and the different workings of things inside the house. Quiet location. Complex has nice pools. Safe area. Dogs welcome. The deer in the complex are clearly present and didn't seem bothered by people or the dogs.Cons: Kitchen is as pictured-the cupboards, counters, and floor are in desperate need of an update(cupboards do not close); mold on downstairs shower curtain; carpets dingy; pool table is not level & felt is thin but still playable(they had chalk!)Not a pro or con: there is no "yard"Nice overall!

This place is great! It is remote enough to be private, yet close to all one needs. The home is large with spacious rooms and if you have little ones, no worries, there is all you need! the kitchen is a great space with plenty utensils for cooking. Overall, a well thought out home offering everything one could want and exactly as pictured.

We had a blast in a fantastic home in a beautiful neighborhood. The only downside was the initial GPS brought us to an entrance that would not give us access and caused us some confusion and extra driving etc...But that wasn't enough to spoil an otherwise fantastic experience that we hope to repeat regularly!!

Great home for our family weekend getaway. This home is definitely one of the best ones we have stayed in and we’ve done this for six years now. So thankful they allowed us to bring our fur babies too. Five stars are not enough of a rating. Best equipped home yet, owners didn’t miss a thing. Very clean too. There were 9 of us, from 7 to 72.

Amazing Experience
The house was beautiful and nicely stocked with many amenities. As we were there in winter, we were able to enjoy a beautiful snowfall from the vantage point of the gorgeous windows that allowed us to see family of deer trekking through the snow. It would be a pleasure to come back in spring summer or fall!

Great weekend!
Overall this house was a great fit for our group. The neighborhood was beautiful and very walkable. We didn’t use the kayaks - it was a bit too far to the lake to bring the kayaks down for a bunch of 60 something women. The house was very clean, had everything we needed in the kitchen and a great gathering area with lots of couches. Natalie was great with the communication as well. East Stroudsburg was charming too. We also visited bushkill falls - great hike with lots of waterfalls.

Poconos Getaway
Every year we travel with 3-4 couples somewhere within a 4 hour drive from Central New York for a fall birthday weekend getaway. The property was perfect - plenty of room and exactly as described. The hot tub, the lake, the game room and overall space was perfect. The property manager was very responsive and the entire check in process was seamless. The house would be perfect for family gatherings with young children. I really appreciated that everything was labeled - cupboards in the kitchen and bathrooms - light switches etc. I imagine the property is very popular with skiers with its proximity to plenty of ski resorts.

The house had a fully stocked kitchen and many indoor game areas. From ping-pong table to card table; firepit to outdoor hot tub; and room for everyone. The a/c was great and parking adequate.

My family and I had a great stay. The house is very open and has plenty of seating. The kitchen is well stocked with essentials and makes for cooking for larger groups easy. The community is well maintained and the home is a very short drive to both the pool and lake access. There were also a lot of toys at the house and the game room was a hit.

Friends Get-a-Way
A group of friends (12 of us) really enjoyed a long weekend at the house. The rooms, kitchen (we liked that all the cabinets were labeled) and living room were spacious and we especially enjoyed a night in the game room, playing ping-pong, pool and fooseball. The outdoor areas were nice as well, although we thought the lake view was going to be better. It was a short walk to the lake and we had fun taking the kayaks out one day and taking a hike another day. It was an easy drive into town and we had a blast seeing a concert at the Sherman Theater. The only difficulties we had were with check-in. The process of getting six cars registered and set up with a pass to enter the gated community was a bit tedious and the address of the welcome center was not correct so many of us went to the wrong entrance. Otherwise, I would recommend this house for a large group looking for a lot of fun activities without leaving the neighborhood.
