The house was huge, very clean, the property was large , areas for everyone to hang out and the kids to run around and play. It also had a wing of the house with a bar, pool table, foosball,... which we used alot. Allowed us to have 2 entertainment/ hang out areas, the other being the family room. As the property had access to a community pool and beach, which did not provide beach chairs of any type, it would have been great for the house to have some cheap portable beach chairs that we were able to take to the beach/pool, as all the residents knew to bring their own.
My mother-in-law wanted to visit the town where she was born (Slatington PA) for her 102nd birthday celebration, and so we rented this spacious, lovely, well-located and handicapped-accessible home for 7 of us, plus our dog. It was an ideal location for our January gathering, with a full and well equipped kitchen, huge dining room table, an awesome game room and beautiful wooded views. We knowingly had far more bedrooms and bathrooms then needed (21 capacity) , and I expect this would be an especially excellent house for a very large multi generational gathering. Due to the season and mostly cold and rainy weather, we didn't use all of the home's features (aka volleyball pit, outdoor eating areas) but they looked great. The property manager, Melissa, was very responsive to messages, and she and the owner were very receptive to minor suggestions we had for the check-in process, and for updating the game room and pantry items. Along with being close to my mother-,in-law's hometown, the house is less than 10 minutes from restaurants, grocery stores and hiking/skiing areas. I'm not sure if or when we'll be back in the Poconos, but I'd definitely stay in this home and/or use Mars Hill Realty (property managers) again.
Very nice, spacious and surrounded by trees and deer, this home provides multiple spaces for extended families to stretch out and enjoy a vacation. A game room for kids, a large kitchen, lots of seats at a dinner table, a nice sized hot tub and TVs throughout. The volleyball court was nice, even just for kids playing in the sand. Unfortunately, the lake was closed to swimming and boat rentals were closed, but I think that was all a function of understaffing related to the national labor shortage. But the pool was open. Melissa was very good at staying in touch and answering questions.
Great house for family gatherings
The large house made it possible for our family of 19 people to be together in one place for a couple of days (This included our aging parents who are grandparents, their adult children, and their grandchildren). The large dining room table was very nice so we could all sit together for meals. The hot tub was wonderful, a good size and very clean! (One of the cleanest I’ve seen). The large game room with a wide variety of games was a popular place for everyone of all ages, kids and adults alike! The weather was very hot outside, so the coolness of that room was nice. Still, our teenagers and some adults enjoyed playing volleyball in the backyard when it was in the shade. The large island and two large refrigerators with freezers in the kitchen were a big help (bring ice cube trays). The laundry room with two washers and one dryer were also helpful. The wheelchair ramp made it easy for my mother-in-law who uses a wheelchair, to be wheeled into the house. The communication with Melissa and Jen was helpful, pleasant and prompt. Our family enjoyed their stay.
House was amazing as expected! The entertainment room is the highlight of the house. Such a big room to hang out and enjoy our time!
Lovely property with spacious bedrooms. The property was clean with lot of amenities and games to keep you busy throughout the day. The house was well kept and had all the offerings that are listed. The property manager was prompt in response and has clearly list the check-in / checkout process.
We had a great trip and enjoyed our stay. Plenty of room and lots to do at the house. We wish the weather had been a little more accommodating, but we survived the mid-April snow. Melissa was quick to try to rectify any issues that came up. We are trying to figure out if we can get the group back together one more time before the boys head off to college.
The house is exactly as pictured and described on the website. The house has plenty of room for a large group. I would definitely recommend this property for your next family/friends gathering.
Enjoyed a six night stay at the Great Pyraneese House in the Poconos. House worked well for our group. Would have liked extended trash dump hours, less threatening fines for breakbreaking the 105 rules we were greeted with, and being more trusted. Guests are rated by their past performance at rentals to show trustworthiness. Just don’t rent to anyone not rated instead of giving so many rules a person can hardly read through them all. Also for the very high cleaning fee I expected more. The floors were not the best, some of the dishes were stacked dirty, and a pot and some bakeware were very dirty, and upon wiping down the kitchen countertops realized they were also quite dirty. Bathrooms were fine except a sharp edge on one shower threshold from an incorrect tile job (we did report this). You need some noise control in the home, a few area rugs would be nice and help a lot. We did appreciate the extra sports equipment and games. Had a small problem with the community office being closed for two days of our stay resulting in us not having a car tag to dump trash because of a rental car. There should be a better solution to this. Perhaps the host could give a generic trash/parking pass when this happens. Host was very nice but also caught in the 105 rules. I wish she had turned the heat thermostats up shortly ahead of our arrival. It took the first night for the large house to warm up so was very cold sleeping the first night. A small outdoor dog waste receptical would have been nice for bagged dog waste, especially for the very expensive extra dog fee. We found a suitable container but it was full of rock salt. We are also VRBO owners, hosts, and the cleaning staff, so understand the difficulties.
