Great Family Getaway

Our family enjoyed a great getaway at Blue Heron. The property was clean and had all of the extras like soap/shampoo, dish soap, trash bags, and even some spices. The owners went the extra mile and even had some bakery goods delivered on our first day! The neighborhood was fun and the kids enjoyed the beach, playground, and lake. I enjoyed watching the deer and relaxing on the screened-in porches. This is definitely a place we would stay again if we returned to the area!

Great location, thoughtful hosts

The cabin was beautifully renovated - comfy beds, spacious, modern decor. A few quirks that come with an older house but overall would recommend! We enjoyed the area - short walk to the beach/pool, quick drive to many attractions, quiet neighborhood, the kids loved seeing the deer wandering around. The hosts were very thoughtful - games for the kids, beach chairs to use, some delicious local baked goods as a welcome gift.

Summer visit

Lot's of bedrooms for a large party to spread out. Very functional kitchen area and lots of space to relax in the dinning room and front porch. Nice easy walk to the swimming area and pool. Great quiet street perfect for kids to play in the yards and to practice riding bikes. Also great area for any one of any age to bike around and enjoy the quiet neighborhoods. Good communication from the host. I would definitely stay here again.

Blue Heron Vacation

We had a great week at this cozy house in Albrightsville, PA. There was plenty of room for our group of 6 adults & 2 children. The owner was easy to communicate with & responded to emails quickly. The house was well stocked with kitchen supplies, linens, & towels. We enjoyed walking to the pool & playground with our grandchildren. It was nice to see all the deer roaming freely in the neighborhood. We would definitely stay again!

Home away from home

Upon arrival, the check-in process was seamless. We received the access information several hour before check in. The home was very clean and the aesthetics of the home is definitely comfortable and considerate for large groups. The decor was very intentional and felt cozy. Many throws blankets are available throughout the home for comfort. There are a few nooks throughout the home for a quiet reading or work space. There are books and an abundance of games and sporting equipment to be accessed. One of my favor features was a guest book where you can review past visitors experience and a space for you to create your own. That was the perfect touch .

Comfortable Home in Pocono Mountains

The photos shown were accurate and the location was perfect. Beds and bedding were super comfortable and bathrooms very clean. Screened-in porches were a plus! The open living room and kitchen provided ample space to gather. A plethora of deer and other wildlife right outside the windows every morning and early evening! A short walk to the lake and pool, plus plenty of side roads for walking enthusiasts. Owner responded immediately to any questions/concerns/requests. A quiet, relaxing stay in the woods.

The property was amazing - we were all very happy in terms of the warmth, space, and general aesthetic. Gavin was amazing - very responsive and accommodative from day one- our coffee machine ended up not working and he got a new one to replace it the next day. Overall amazing trip - the place looks like it actually does in the picture - I’d go again and so would the group I came with

Pictures were accurate and place was clean. What makes this different than most of the other rentals I’ve had is it was fully stock as expected. The house had soap, paper towels, a good range of pots,pans, cookware and even salt, pepper and plastic wrap. If you want to feel like you are at your second home, then you should rent this place.
