KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

PLEASE READ!!!

OUR WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IS LOCATED IN THE BASEMENT AND WILL BACK UP INTO THE HOUSE (YIKES!) IF ANYTHING OTHER THAN SINGLE PLY TOILET PAPER IS USED.

BABY/FACIAL WIPES AND FEMININE PRODUCTS WILL CLOG THE DRAIN AND CAUSE A HUUUUGE MESS -- DON’T FLUSH.

PLEASE USE ONLY SINGLE PLY TOILET PAPER (LIKE SCOTT 1000)

IF THE POWER GOES OUT…

DO NOT RUN ANY WATER UNTIL THE ELECTRIC COMES BACK ON.

THE SEPTIC SYSTEM RUNS ON ELECTRICITY AND WILL BACK UP INTO THE HOUSE IF WATER IS USED DURING THIS TIME.

IF YOU HEAR THE ALARM DOWNSTAIRS, IMMEDIATELY STOP USING ANY WATER (SINKS, TOILETS, SHOWERS, ETC...).

DOGS
We love that guests are bringing their pups with them to share in a family vacation and we don’t charge any pet fees! Because of this we ask all guests to treat our home like their own.

If your pups have an accident, please clean it up. If they have an accident on the rug you will be responsible for cleaning it up either using the easy to use spot cleaner (which should be located in the laundry room) or by running to the store and purchasing a spot cleaning product you can vacuum up. If our property manager notices heavy stains on the carpet or furniture you will forfeit your entire deposit.

If you plan on letting your pups go into the lake please use the hose out front to rinse them off (the one in the back does not work). Also, plan on bringing your own towels to dry them off. You will be charged to replace linens if they smell like dogs or are heavily stained beyond normal wear and tear.

Again, we love pups! Your help will allow us to continue to allow all pups to stay for free.

LINENS | BEDS
We now provide linen service free of charge as an added benefit for our guests!

Each queen bed|futon will be supplied with a bag of freshly washed linens. Which include:
A light weight blanket
Sheet set with 2 pillow cases
2 Towels (Please bring your own pool towels)
2 Washcloths

Each twin bed will also be supplied with a bag of freshly washed linens. Which include:
A light weight blanket
Sheet set with 1 pillow case
1 Towel (Please bring your own pool towels)
1 Washcloth

There may be extra towels in the linen closet.

Larger parties are suggested to bring their own pool/beach towels if they plan on using those amenities.

Upon departure, Renters shall strip all beds and deposit all used linens in front of the laundry room in the den.

PAPER PRODUCTS
We typically stock the house with starter rolls of paper towel and toilet paper. We strongly suggest planning on bringing extra for your stay.

CLEANING SUPPLIES
We do not stock the house with cleaning supplies. Any soaps, counter spray, laundry detergent should be brought with you or purchased for your stay.

PROPANE FOR THE GRILL
If you plan on grilling during your stay, check the propane for the grill when you arrive at the house. If both tanks are empty, you can find a couple of local places to fill up or exchange below. Send a picture of the receipt to (585) 880-3140 and we will reimburse you for the fill ups.

SMALL ITEMS LIKE LIGHT BULBS, BATTERIES, ETC…
At times the batteries may go or a light bulb might flicker out during your stay. We will try to keep batteries and light bulbs in the basement for you to be able to replace anything that’s needed. However, if we are out a certain need, please let us know. If you’d like to replace these we suggest heading to the Kwik Mart listed above. Send a picture of the receipt to (585) 880-3140 and we will reimburse you.

FIREWOOD
Weis Market in Hamlin has some great kiln dried firewood that costs about $5/bag. It burns hot and is pretty easy to get going.

SUMMER PESTS
Because our home has wood siding, the summer can invite carpenter bees and wasps. If you notice any activity call or text us so we can relay the information to our pest control service. If you purchase bee or wasp spray send a picture of the receipt to (585) 880-3140 and we will reimburse you.

IS SOMETHING MISSING?
If you find the house doesn’t have enough wine glasses, cups, bowels, missing a key kitchen utensil, etc...please let us know so we can order and get it there ASAP.

Relaxing Stay
Everthing was as described in the listing except the hot tub. That did not look like they switch out the water as often as described unless there is metal in their water that gives it the tint. There was also sand in bottom. We only went in it once. We also had trouble figuring out the arcade. Other than that it was a great time.

Nothing was Lacking. Location, is Tops! Home In great shape From the Dock, Hot tub, and many amenities, provided by Shawn & Christine Abbott, you'd be hard pressed to find a better deal anywhere on VRBO. If you're looking for a peaceful lakefront rental where you can cast a fishing line in from under the deck while sitting in the Adirondack chairs next to a fire your here. There's plenty of room for at least 8 or more people to be about and not be on top of one another. There's plenty of Games, Watercraft items, all in a Variety. The Kitchen is modern, with all necessary items. 3 -bathrooms , 2 Large screen Tv's . a Family will certainly enjoy a stay here. That and the fact the Abbotts won't leave you hanging if you need them. Plenty to do and to enjoy .

Disappointed
The listing said "Luxury" but this was not a luxury property. The house was dirty, the mattresses were worn out and saggy. There was a foam mattress cover on one of the beds that was dirty. We took it off. There was dog hair on the couches. The oven was dirty and had not been cleaned in ages. The dishwasher smelled very musty and did not clean the dishes. The gas grille was disgusting, and we could not use it. The hot tub was dirty and looked like someone had vomited in it. There was a broken deck spindle with rusty nails sticking out lying on the deck. I called Shawn and he sent someone who came on Wednesday to clean the hot tub and reattached the spindle. I expected a CLEAN house, not this place. I will never stay here again. When I told Shawn how dirty the house was he said "there is a sliding scale of what is clean." That is an unacceptable answer. Shawn did refund the cleaning fee. That house is very dirty.

This house is conveniently located to everything. The beach is just steps away. A pool with a slide is a short walk. A putting green is next to the pool. Since the house is located on the lake it’s easy to use the kayaks and paddle boards. The fire pit was popular. The kitchen is large and well stocked. Beds are comfortable.

Having it All
Unfortunately, we had 4 of 7 days be overcast and rainy. Fortunately, the game room and the hot tub saved the day(s). Even on those overcast days, being ON Deer Lake made it easy to take advantage of a couple of hours to play between the periods of rain. The house is beautiful and well kept. The host stayed in touch, checking on things and exchanging friendly texts and tips. For 4 adults and 5 kids (ages 12-16) the house was just the right size and had all you need for a wonderful vacation. The only 4 of 5 I gave above was for "location" only because stores, restaurants, gas, etc is all about 20 minutes (or more) away. Personally, I loved that but some in our party (we are "spoiled" Long Islanders) wished for closer amenities. Having your own small lake, less than a mile from the big lake (Wallenpaupack), and away from "the things of man" . . . perfect for me.

Awesome lake house
This was our (me, husband, dog) second time staying at this property and it was just as great as the first time! The view is incredible and the amenities are well maintained. We used the grill and the hot tub almost every night. We explored the nearby town of Hawley and did the rail tour. A lot of community amenities were closed or had limited hours since we went early June so if that’s something you care about, check if they’ll be open for your visit. We didn’t mind, since there’s so much to do at the house. Shawn was extremely responsive. We’ve been going to the Poconos for our anniversary for several years and this is the first time returning to a place—we were very glad to see it lived up to our memory!

Our family had an AMAZING 7 day stay at the Three Little Birds! The home is spacious and very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and very clean. We enjoyed cooking our meals and grilling on the beautiful deck. There was a multitude of choices to enjoy from this home such as watching the sunrise, jumping in the lake, sunbathing on the private beach, paddling to the island and amazing fishing! The fun continued inside the house as our kids were thrilled with the game room! Shawn was a fantastic host and communication was excellent! We cannot wait to unpack our bags once again at Three Little Birds and make more special family memories!

We stayed overnight to prepare for a friends bridal shower. The kitchen was well stocked for us to cook our own meal, there was plenty of seating to enjoy said meal together and the space was terrific for entertaining. We spent a ton of time in the hot tub which was in great shape and very clean. The beds were really comfortable which made the stay even better as many of us traveled quite a distance. The hosts were very responsive to questions and requests. We can't wait to come back!

Great Escape, very cozy and beautiful house
Overall, it was a great trip. The owner is excellent and very responsive. However, I found the check-in and check-out process are lengthy, to be honest, especially considering the premium price that customers pay. This is not our first time renting such accommodations, and I completely understand the importance of keeping the place nice and clean. The issue with this place was that the house rules were excessive. Typically, as you check out, you set up the dishwasher and leave. With this place, you're required to run the dishwasher and put away the dishes. The dishwasher takes 2 hours to finish, so you have to wait for it to put away the dishes. You should certainly take out all trash before you leave, but with this place, you have to take it all the way to the community dumpster which is roughly 2-3 blocks away. Similarly, with the bedsheets, you need to put on your own bedsheets as you check in and as you check out strip the beds, placing all used linens outside the laundry room. So make sure you spare plenty of time before you check out at 11:00 am so you complete all house rules/requirements.

Great Lake house!
The location is great. The house is located in a neighborhood with lots of great amenities like the pool, game room, and large field for playing family games. It was also great that we did not feel like we were in a neighborhood when sitting on the quiet back deck. Although not huge, the house felt like there was plenty of room to spread out and the larger kitchen was a big plus for us! The only downfall was the gaming system in the basement wasn’t working properly, which we mentioned to Shawn and he was going to tend to that. We also listened to chainsaws and wood chippers from across the lake for a few days, but no one could have predicted that. Plenty of hiking and biking nearby and quiet streets to walk on around the lake. Definitely a place we’d like to return to.
