Great stay with some minor comments
Super comfortable and spacious apartment in a great location. The only issue I had was a lack of services (shampoo, toothpaste...) and the place wasn't the cleanest I've ever been to, but by no means dirty/unpleasant. Host was really nice and helpful. Will return in the future.

Beautiful home, peaceful neighborhood.
We really enjoyed our time here. Everything was great and exactly how listed. The check-in process was smooth, easy, and secure. The house was clean and had everything we needed. There was even a dog bed and dog bowls. The lower level and game room area was awesome. Great outdoor spaces too in a really quiet and peaceful neighborhood. We also enjoyed the nearby community. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a great time staying in the Poconos for Father’s Day weekend. The house was great and it was a short walk to the lake. You cannot access the lake from the property, but there’s a nice beach with a playground close by.

Great time!
House was great. Just as advertised. Had a great long weekend. Took advantage of nearby Hickory Run SP and made the 1-hour drive to Knoebels Amusement Park for some wooden coaster rides (highly recommend Knoebels - such a pleasant change from the standard amusement park). Hosts were responsive and helpful. You won’t be disappointed here.

Nice house
Nice & clean house, liked that it had a longe with pool table on the first floor for my adult children to hangout. The only issue I had is that the lake wasn’t accessible from the yard due to wet lands.

Great Cabin Stay with Friends
Had a great overall impression of this booking and stay. Host was very communicative and provided a bunch of detail regarding check in and stay. When we arrived, the place was exactly as it was pictured. We had a couple questions during the stay, but the Host was very quick and helpful to getting us situated. The cabin had everything we needed and made our stay just that much more enjoyable. No one in my party of 5 had any complaints, we had a great time. Surrounding area was nice and quiet, and we were able to enjoy the wooded nature around us.

Labor day weekend getaway
We enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. It had everything we needed. We were easily able to prepare our meals. It was nice having the grill there. We spent time enjoying coffee out on the deck where we saw deer several mornings. The location was a short distance from Hickory Run State Park where we hiked several of the trails with our son and daughter-in-law. In the evenings we played pool and also played several card games at the nice dining table. Definitely will return again sometime.

Great stay!
I had a relaxing stay. This home was clean and comfortable. There was plenty of room for my family of 6 adults. It was centrally located with so much to do around Lake Harmony. We went Whitewater rafting as well as hiked several trails in Hickory Run State Park. I really enjoyed this home and would stay here again. Thank you for making us feel so welcome!

A perfect Getaway!
Here is a house that is great for all ages, located in a safe community, and within a short stroll to the lovely beach and playground. The hosts were wonderful; people that truly care about their home and guests. (I took back my extra rolls of toilet paper, Kleenex tissue, and tea... the house lacked for nothing!) Thank you Jim and Lauren for sharing your lovely home.
