• 8th birthday trip

  4/5

  The house is super cute, pics made it look bigger but we loved the lay out of the home, it was very cozy . Wish my dogs had a bit more freedom. Community rules are a little too strict with certain things. We didn’t know we had to pay for pool passes & hours aren’t full days. We looked forward to the indoor fireplace being it rained one of the days, but we believe it doesn’t work. Overall it was a relaxing weekend with our family, the kids did not want to leave. communication with property manager was very quick and efficient.

• Long weekend stay

  3/5

  The house had enough room for all of us which we appreciated. The view was amazing. The different playgrounds were very family friendly. A lot to do in the area. However, the tables were really dirty, sinks/showers were backed up, most of the dishes were clearly dirty.

  Before checking in the manager texted us saying it was for Airbnb but we booked with VRBO. Asking for more personal information then we were told we're needed originally. Ask for additional funds required us to send it a different way then we originally paid. We reached out to evolve who told us it was fraud and a scam. But then we got an email with managers contact and name and that matched. They made us pay and give information anyways.

  The pool was dangerously cold. We shared that with the worker who told us the air was just hot outside. We asked her to touch the water and to ask about the temperature. She claimed they can't check the temperature only maintenance and they were not there. So no way to know. They wouldn't refund even though we couldn't go in. We had infants and one of us was clearly pregnant so it was not safe. It had to be 60 degrees or colder. Then as we were leaving we could see they had turned the pool on. They lied to us and we shared that with the property owner since that is one of the big reasons we picked their house to stay in. He never responded to text from us. Then or during the trip in general.

  Overall it wasn't clean and very poor communication. Not a family friendly stay.

• Gouldsboro cabin

  4/5

  Nice big cabin to stay with family. Was fun for school age children with the fuseball table, air hockey & power hockey tables in the basement. Appreciated the towels for each room and clear check out instructions. Hot tub also made our stay enjoyable. When I had questions our host got back to us promptly as well. We stayed in April when it was a little rainy, but I’m sure during the summer and fall there would be more activities available to do locally.

• Getting away

  5/5

  A very nice property and house in every way. A few small things needed attention but I did let property mgr. know-A shade was broken over air hockey table and this game did not work. Also, which I forgot to mention, the first floor bathroom tub was clogged up. But aside from that, everything was very clean and we felt so comfortable. Thank you. I would stay here again! Emily

• Wonderful Winter Get-away in the Poconos

  5/5

  We really enjoyed our weekend stay at this house, as it comfortably fit 3 families. Upon arrival, the host responded quickly to our text to get help with lighting the gas fireplace. They had stored dry firewood for the fire pit outside and the kids were able to enjoy roasting marshmallows. The new hot tub was clean, heated and all ready for us to relax! Everything was very clean inside, the kitchen was stocked with necessities for cooking and the bathrooms were all in great condition. Having 3 full bathrooms was really helpful! The kids really enjoyed the full game room in the finished basement and the super-sized bean bag and teddy bears up in the loft space, stocked with board games. Towels were laid out on our beds for each guest and the master bedroom had a fireplace / heater that was very comforting. Wish we were there in the summertime to enjoy the Adirondak chairs on the front porch or the lovely screened in porch with dining table out the back with large outdoor deck and grill - next time! Dropping off our trash and recycling at the front of the gated community was easy on our way out. The guards at the gate house gave us our passes to get in without issue and were very helpful to give directions to the indoor swimming pool and recreation center on the other side of Bid Bass Lake. All in all we would certainly rent this house again !
