Albrightsville, Pennsylvania
This cabin is a perfect Pocono getaway for family and friends. Located in the popular community, Towamensing Trails. The community has an abundance of activities including, a pool, lake with a beach, fishing, game room, playground, basketball, volleyball, and tennis courts, and paddle boats available to rent. The cute and quaint town of Jim Thorpe is just 10 miles away, and the area is filled with outdoor excursions sure to keep you busy year round.
If I could upload photos to this review, the images would do all the talking for me. This place is disgusting! The owner does not take care of this property, at all. I paid a service fee to find black mold in the bathroom ceiling and bugs crawling around in the damp carpet throughout the living room. Even if I felt so inclined to clean up this house, you can't get to any cleaning products - either because he doesn't have them or they are locked up. I've tried since July to get the owner to refund the cleaning fee and VRBO says he is unresponsive. See Aug. 2023 1-star review Kathleen stayed after me (after I complained to VRBO w/photos), & had same mold issue. If you have children, this place is not safe - TV stand is barely put together and hot tub has no means to keep the lid on safely & can be easily removed. I was told there would be certain products there, like trash bags & laundry detergent, which weren't. Also, one AC unit DOES NOT cool the entire house in the summer. This place is not suitable for summer occupancy, period. The trees behind his house are literally sitting on the roof - one bad storm & the roof is going to cave. In conclusion, VRBO should really make more of an effort to take customer complaints seriously and ensure homeowners are doing they absolute best to make sure their properties are safe and clean for guests. Otherwise, stop charging customers for a service & cleaning fee and stop letting owners take advantage of customers!!
It’s not a first time we got rental house in Poconos but it’s a first time the pictures doesn’t match to reality , the house is old, I mean it’s really need to be renovated : the walls, furniture, the floor in a bedroom was wet permanently because of dampness I believe. Also there was not any table in patio at all and the branch chairs weren’t clean, the oven was not cleaned since it’s been used last time.. well,the pros: the biggest plus there was a hot tub , which is in good condition and was really very nice to have some hours in it..the owner is very responsive and attentive. The community and neighborhood is adorable, the pool, the lakes and boats, cafes.. absolutely gorgeous. In overall of course we are satisfied but for the price we paid we could get better rental house.
There is so much that needs to happen with this property, starting with a deep cleaning. The mold above the shower, the thick dust on the ceiling fans & box fans, mold & dust on the A/C unit. The dining room light had 2 lights out & the kitchen had 3 out - which made it tough to see. The upstairs tub wasn’t draining - text the owner & told me to use the drain-o under the sink. Couldn’t leave the back screen open because it was ripped, as well as the kitchen window. This could be a great house - but the amount of dust and other items that were broken or not working was a bit much. We know we were on vacation - but it was just all too much.
My family had a lovely stay at the Rooster house. There was plenty of sleeping arrangements for my core family and even for grandma, grandpa, aunt and nephew! We loved the large dining room table that sat our whole party of 9 for food, laughter, and games. There was adequate seating in the living room as well. We also appreciated that the Rooster house is pet friendly so we could have our dog along with us. The location was central for our activities which included whitewater rafting, Aquatopia, Bushkill Falls, Country Junction, Jim Thorpe and outlet shopping. Wonderful time had by all.
Great house great location excellent stay thank you
We stayed here for Pocono raceway weekend and we loved this house. The location was great! We enjoyed using the beach east communication center it’s the owner as well. The kids loved the basketball toss and foosball table. We enjoyed seeing the deer all around every day. Would definitely stay here again!
Loved the rooster house open layout. It made it fun to be with everyone that was staying there. We had a very good time, and would use the home again if needed. However,The home could use a good general cleaning and also the windows.
We arrived the day after Christmas to explore the area and have fun in the snow. The house is located in a beautiful neighborhood on top of the mountain. We enjoyed our stay. When we weren’t at blue Mountain enjoying winter sports we were walking around the neighborhood exploring wildlife. We had a much needed relaxing vacation after the holiday. The owner made sure we had everything we needed and the house was ready when we arrived.
The location of the place is great, right off the highway, and very quiet around the neighborhood. All the deer walking around was great to see and the kids loved it. The house over all needs a good cleaning top to bottom. VERY DUSTY and cobwebs everywhere. The loft was a great place for the kids to play while the parents stayed downstairs..plenty of board games and the basketball and Foosball were great. Overall we had a good time.
This was a great house, very family and pet friendly. Great communication with owner/staff.
Fireplace, hot tub, and refrigerator didn't work! Upon arrival the front door wasn't latched shut, the smoke detector was beeping. I contacted the host, he replied that he could have his cleaner come, but wasn't sure when, so to stop the beeping we went out and purchased batteries and replaced it ourselves. The fireplace did not work at all, the hot tub was a joke, it didn't stay hot, when using the jets the waterfall feature shot so far out of the tub it drained the water and if you tried to sit on that side you would be shot in the face, on the other side some other valve was leaking so that also would splash you in the face! Refrigerator didn't cool, had to throw away food that I had bought. We had to reboot the Roku to get the TV working and replace those batteries also. Inside the coffee maker was a thick layer of mold. Lighting was very poor, couldn't close the kitchen blinds, the bedroom blinds had a hole in them, the sliding door didn't latch properly and I don't think the place has been dusted in a year. Worst place I have ever stayed in! Unfortunately for me, I did not see the previous guests review until it was too late for me to cancel.
Had to ask numerous times for the code to get into the house. Left not knowing if I would even be able to get in: House was not lit up and no outside lights on when I arrived after dark. Porch light was so dim it basically did nothing when it was turned on. When we arrived the fridge was not working. Quick response from owner and a repair man was sent the next day but fridge did not get fixed. We spent four days with no fridge, could not even have cold drinks, or food in the house. Fireplace did not work, no remote batteries and did not work manually as well. . King size bed was just two twin beds stuck together with a crack in the middle: hot tub waterfall shot right out of the hot tub when the jets were turned on high. Numerous light bulbs were out or so dim they did nothing. Paint peeling, moldy shower curtains, broken blinds and no curtains in bedrooms, unclean dusty walls, sheets stained and floors just plain cruddy. Rugs had burn holes and stains,. Could not use any amenities as no passes were left. The street was quiet and the neighborhood nice. Overall one of the worst vrbos I have stayed in.
Brain was very helpful and responded back quickly. Neighborhood was very nice, kids enjoyed the pool. So much to do in the area, you can’t be bored. Kids loved seeing all the deer each morning walking through the yard! The house does need a good cleaning but wasn’t awful and definitely was livable. Definitely would come back!
Nice place for the weekend and the most I like the rooster bc my husband love rooster thank you
