We spent a week in August,6 adults and 3 children, at this spectacular getaway in the Poconos & I hope we can go back. We had a great family vacation and everything is user friendly. I am writing a detailed review because I depend on reviews! The main house is at the top of a hill and has an extraordinary view of a beautiful wooded valley and then mountains as far as you can see. We enjoyed the outdoor amenities: pool, fishing pond, fire pit, basketball/tennis court, the property, and patio and grill. The pool has steps leading into the water that are perfect for young & old alike- it's easy to get into the water. Also, the pool is very clean & the water is set at a comfortable 78. The catch-and-release fishing pond was amazing. We did lots of fishing daily & caught blue gills, catfish, pickerel, large mouth bass, & perch. The fire pit is well designed for safety as well as roasting marshmallows & the owner provides wood & starter kindling. The basketball/ tennis court has a wonderful surface that drains quickly and the basketball net can be adjusted from 7 to 10 feet, allowing players of all ages to have fun. We took walks on the property and saw lots of wildlife: a bald eagle, cedar waxwings, lots of others birds, rabbits, frogs, & more - fortunately, we did not encounter any bears & only heard the coyotes. The property comes with a main house and guest house. The main house is spacious & the kitchen area- includes two large refrigerator/freezers but the guest house kitchen does not have a refrigerator. I am a serious cook and spoke with the owner in advance about my cooking plans, and so I brought a coffee maker(house has a Keurig), a large stock pot, large baking sheet, and a baking pan. I brought disposable plates and cups, which I used for taking drinks to the pool because I could not find any plastic cups. The main house was very comfortable with a spacious living room decorated with fish and pheasants, bench seating at the dining table & heavy cushioned chairs in the breakfast area (it would have been great to have a few folding chairs), nice beds, lots of bath and pool towels (only a few dish towels), & a heavy duty washer/dryer & very quiet dishwasher. The guest house worked well for one couple - but there is not much privacy between the two bedrooms areas. My only wish is for cushions for the pool and patio furniture. This is the perfect place for a fun filled getaway in a beautiful remote location.
