Delightful stay.
The house is charming and immaculate. The beds are very comfortable and the house has everything you would need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The location is excellent too. The only thing that could improve is the sofa. It is very uncomfortable to sit on. Thank you for a delightful stay!

Cozy and clean cottage
The home was cozy and very clean. Many amenities were provided, making it easy to settle in. We loved the vintage decor and throw blankets. As mentioned in other reviews, the couch was a bit uncomfortable, but other chairs and beds were comfortable. Wifi and TV worked just fine and lots of games were provided. The kitchen was stocked with everything you need, just bring your food. We appreciated the bowl of goodies left for us. The outside had a plethora of entertaining areas, including a deck, playset, hammock, and firepit. The dock with rowboat and kayak was next to a stream. We were hoping to fish off the dock, but it wasn't deep enough so we took the rowboat out for a trial run. That ended up to be challenging because of shallow water and lily pads. Our trial run was successful, as did make it to the lake, but we never did go back to the lake to fish because of the challenge to get to the lake. We did enjoy the natural setting while sitting on the dock, plenty of birds, including a mama with baby ducks, tons of dragonflies, and frogs. Other reviews mentioned noise. Yes, there is a busy road and you can hear the traffic. We got used to it after the first day. Also, there was a humming noise at night and we never did figure out what it was, but we got used to that too. Overall, a nice place to bring your family. We felt safe, the home was very clean, and plenty was provided.

Great location except for the busy highway. Took advantage of the rowboat and kayak for some light outdoor fun. Bring marshmallows for some campfire fun next to the lake.

Cottage in the Woods
Cute cottage in the woods. Very clean and tidy. Under amenities they did not mention they had a hairdryer or that they had a Keurig coffee maker. Had I known that I would’ve brought pods. We flew into NY then drove and arrived late and there was no coffee welcome basket for us to enjoy for morning coffee. We did make it to a grocery store the next day, however. Although nicely appointed, one of the bedrooms did not have window curtains for privacy and the other bedroom curtains were sheer and did not cover the windows completely. As we were there to visit friends in the Hideout, we spent much of our time away from the cottage.

Cozy and secluded at the right location
This property is situated at the right distance in terms of location. Its easy to get to the nearest town within 30 mins and yet it feels secluded enough to be away from crowds. The property itself was clean and well maintained. The instructions provided by the host were clear and easy to work with.

Great Poconos getaway!
Great little getaway for a long weekend! Location was great, minus a slightly busy road but at night at the campfire you didn’t notice it. Location to the lake was great and we got the row out on the lane boat out for a short cruise. House was clean and had everything you could need.
