Pet Friendly Cozy Cottage, Fireplace And Free Bed Linens

The home was in poor condition. It was dirty with hair balls and a hair tie left under a chair. The beds were old and worn and when we went to get in them, dust arose. The outside was unkept with no maintenance. The lawn was knee high and a down tree was still left in the back yard. We could not use the coffee table in the living room for fear it would fall. It wobbled so badly. Make sure you read carefully to bring all your supplies…towels, toilet paper, soap, and shampoo. Other than one roll of toilet paper and some hand soap that was it. The owners were responsive and very nice but this property truly needs some love.

We found it to be nice and quiet, the grounds could use some grooming, but for what we needed just overnight it was cozy.

The property was nice and quiet, clean and just cozy!

Definitely visit Jim Thorpe- only a 20 min drive. During the winter at night this quaint little city decorates nicely for Christmas. The cabin house could use renovations but it’s cleanliness & easy to use fireplace made up for it. We liked the privacy between neighbors. Our cell phones did not work well here which we didn’t mind at all. If you’re looking for quiet, secluded & don’t mind old- this is the place for city folks to unwind :-)

Bob was responsive, however I will not be booking again. Not what I expected and don’t recommend.

What a miserable property. There’s no AC, the refrigerator doesn’t cool anything and the freezer doesn’t freeze or keep anything frozen, the deck boards near the front door are about to bust, the mattresses are lumpy and old, it smells like musty mildew, you have to use all of your weight to open the front door, there are cobwebs everywhere, the fans in the bedrooms don’t blow air, the yard is unkempt, it’s the eyesore of the neighborhood, and the pool is a mile away. Sorry to be so negative, but it really is a miserable place. I can’t believe it has good reviews. Eventually, we will be able to laugh about this place…

We liked that the property had privacy and was quiet and clean.

The neighborhood was very quite. Deer everywhere! NO AIR CONDITIONING !!!!! The advertisement: sleep 6 - there were three double beds!! two adults can not sleep in a double bed! Floor was dirty, my wife mopped the floor before she would walk on with socks. The deck does not look like the picture in the Ad. Deck has loose boards & failing support boards underneath. Water draining against the cabin foundation, rot will take over in about a year if not addressed! yard was not maintained to walk the dog around. Did not like that I booked through Expedia but the owner sent me 12 pages of rules, fines and forms to fill out before we could stay there. If I did not fill out the forms i could not get my money back !!!!!!! They got my money before I knew that I have to fill out forms to stay. I will not stay at this listing again!!!!! NOT AS ADVERTIZED !!!!

I saw the pictures so I knew was I was getting into, however....I would give this place 3 out of 5 stars for two reasons. The first reason being the mattresses on the beds need replacing. I had a hard time sleeping because of how old and slumped they are. Mattresses are not even that expensive, just replace them. The other thing I did not like is that they have a game room shown in the description, but your guess is as good as mine as to where it is. They should be more descriptive about how to access this game room. Everything else was cool. Small cottage in the woods. If this place got a little TLC it could be an outstanding rental unit.

My cousin and I really needed to get away, just for a weekend. This was the perfect location and house. The owners are thorough, very sweet and are very detailed in their instructions so there's no question what you need to do when you arrive and leave. highly recommended

Cozy little cottage

It was over all good

Basic comforts in a peaceful setting! We enjoyed a relaxing weekend in the woods. Would return.

Host was responsive. Deck was cleared of snow when arrived. Kitchen could be better stocked. Towels not included (kitchen and bath) should be noted in description. Having a fireplace was very nice.

In the process of potentially being refunded.Place is very run down and dirty.Walkway to front door had ice build up. Owner is very nice to deal with, but their cleaning crew, and maintenance person need to be replaced.Ended up spending 10 minutes in the place, called owner up to tell him booked a local hotel that was amazing and cost less.Also it is in a HOA and you need to sign extra paperwork and receive passes to stay there which is not exactly in the listing.

Was very Pet Friendly. Sadly the cleanliness of the house was poor(Blankets and dirty stained pillows thrown in all the closets, cobwebs all over ceilings, doors sticky and needed wiped down. dirty refrigerator. Deck very poor condition and lawn did not looked mowed for a year (Knee high grass and dead tree limbs and trees all over lawn) toilet seat loose and looked as if someone put cardboard under one screw. Though we enjoyed our trip these items Need to be addressed.

I will start with the positive!Bob, the property owner, was great to work with and super awesome with communication. The area/neighborhood was beautiful and we loved all of the deer hanging out around the properties. Close to Pocono Raceway and Jim Thorpe which are places we visited.Now for the things we definitely were not please with;When we pulled up to the property our excitement turned into disappointment very quickly. The property grounds were overgrown with grass, weeds and fallen tree limbs…it was awful! We had to get our parking pass and found out there hasn’t been a game room in some time, which was disappointing because the pictures in ad show one.Check-in was supposed to be at 3pm. We arrived at 3:10pm and the cleaning ladies were still there, so we had to wait until they were finished and didn’t actually get into the place until close to 3:30pm.The porch was dilapidated with boards and nails sticking up, house looked like it was rotting around the bottom and crawl space was open in one section so I am sure there were critters under the house. We walked in and saw bugs and cob webs on the ceiling and walls, glass coffee table was broken ( I sent a video to Bob because we didn’t want to be held liable). The place just felt dirty!My daughter’s “clean” pillowcase had stains on it so we covered it with one of my tshirts, no toilet paper, paper towels or bath towels. I could go on, extremely disappointed and want some kind of refund!!!

Property was just as described. Owners were also very helpful. Would definitely stay again.

Property was unkept. Smelled of mold as soon as we walked in. Bed linens were not clean. Very little to work with as far as kitchen utensils. Deck in need of repair. Falling trees and knee high grass. Couldn’t even walk through the yard.

Grass wasn't cut..knee high in places, tree limbs everywhere couldn't walk my pups in yard, house was not cleaned properly. Layers of dust and hair balls under bed, couch..chairs. I had to sweep before settling in. Area was beautiful and we enjoyed the environment..but the house was musty and just unkept..

Dead squirrel & feces behind fridge. Outdoor area was unkept, no water for the first 24 hours. Owner had to call maintenance to fix the well issue. Owner admitted that he had an issue 2 weeks prior. Maintenance man went to the store to buy gallons of water to help get us through.

The owner was extremely easily to get along with and great with communication. The home and property were very nice and in a great community. It felt like home away from home. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Me and 3 of my friends spent the night here after a long day of tree clearing on a property I own about 20 min from this house . The high water pressure was perfect for making sure we were fresh to enjoy a relaxing night after working hard all day . The cabin is older but brings back memories of my great grandparents house in lake harmony . The single night available is really nice because with all of our busy schedules we can’t take a whole weekend off . The check in process was easy , email communications were clear and informative . Made the stay really easy . Thank you

We had a nice stay, although only for one night. We were traveling from New Orleans and got in very late. There is an insane amount of fog and very little lighting, so driving was difficult. The cabin itself was nice and cozy, and very clean.The neighborhood was very quiet. The only concern is that we didnt find any bath towels.

We were at a two day wrestling tournament and needed a place to stay after the first day. We got to the house around 9:30 pm and it was 40 degrees. It took over four hours for the temp to get to a comfortable level. Also, I didn’t realize no towels were provided and we had to run out and get some. It was a clean place but cold and uncomfortable.

This property was very clean inside but lacked a sufficient amount of basic necessities, i.e. toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags.

Place was in a great location, interior tables are very loose(glass coffee table and kitchen table) Afraid the glass one might break if bumped. Exterior deck is in need of repairs, rotting areas

We stayed at this property to attend a nearby festival and was perfect for our needs. The accommodations were clean and the check in process easy. Two of the beds were comfortable but the third was in need of a new mattress. The deck was also in need of some attention as there were some loose boards causing a couple of us to trip while crossing it. We did not use the kitchen appliances or the cookware available at the house. The water was hot and clean and the bathroom fixtures all functioning properly. The home was also easy to adjust the temperature with the newer zone thermostats. Overall, the property could use some updates but was a great choice for our group.

Lacked basic things that would have made a huge difference: matches for the fireplace, wood for the fireplace, towels in the bathroom, more than 1 roll of toilet paper, a welcome packet with information, sugar, ice tray in freezer, racks on fridge door, batteries for TV remote... Rugs anyplace would make it more cozy and furniture that isn't broken (coffee table) would be more comfortable.

Next time sugar and toilet paper and paper towels there was none we had to go to dollar general .and biggertvs

The property was quaint and met our needs.

A very cute cottage,and great location! But it was alittle dirty

The property was clean on the inside and was ok for our one overnight stay. A little dated and seemed some things in need of repair The outside appearance had me a bit worried with dead trees, debris and what appeared to the beginnings of some wood rot on the cabin. Properties around this location were very nice. A lot of potential for this place. Just needs some maintenance. cabin.Properties

Just a short weekend get away from normal life, went to Jim Thorpe for a day and relaxed at the cottage the following day, kitchen had everything I needed to cook a full meal, just had to wash the dishes before we used them as they had food residue on them, and make sure you bring a roll of toilet paper with as there was very little in the roll. Using the microwave and air conditioner at same time tripped the fuse and be careful on the deck as there are a few loose boards, all the little things really weren’t bothersome, hated lugging the trash to the trash receptacles but seeing all the deer in the yard was nice and seeing a bear and her two cubs was the best end to our trip. My grandson who is 5 thought it was so cool watching a small black and white old fashioned tv in his room. If we ever decide to come back we’d be sure to stay here again
