Peaceful Albrightsville Home w/ Pool + Lake Access

Reviews

• Nice quiet place

  4/5

  Loved the house overall. Needs a good deep cleaning. If you’re someone that likes to cook, make sure you bring all seasonings and own pans and pots because the ones there are barely usable. Check in/out was easy. A million very friendly deer ( they came super close) and a black bear in the back yard were the highlights. Will come back but better prepared.

• A place of great peace

  A very quiet place for those who like nature and places away from everything, this is a perfect place. The house is cozy, I would only recommend that they give it a deep clean.

• Nice, quiet, clean, lots of wildlife. No AC in bedrooms

  3/5

  Overall we had a nice stay, but there were a few hiccups. The interior of the house was very clean & well stocked; we had everything we needed to prepare food and be comfortable. We loved the enclosed porch & enjoyed seeing all the deer.

  We were surprised to find that only the living room area of the house had air conditioning, however. The bedrooms do not have air conditioning & were quite warm, despite the fans. This was not made clear in the listing.

  The exterior & deck were covered in spider webs & needed to be swept. Also both propane tanks were empty so we didn’t get to use the grill or fire pit. The owner offered to reimburse us to fill them up, but we didn’t want to take the time away from our short trip to go find somewhere to exchange them.

  Communication with the local contact, Jackie, was great - she was very responsive to any questions.

• Nice home, not great area

  3/5

  The house was nice but we had several issues. The security shack was not aware of our arrival. We had to get in touch with the owner to get them to allow us in. That was a one day approval until the main office alerted them of our stay.

  The power has gone out that evening due to high winds. While this wasn’t the homeowner’s fault, it made for scary night.

  The one lake that had a beach was closed and my daughter stepped into quick sand like material while standing at the edge. Needless to say, she wasn’t happy.

  The following day we went to the pool. Thank god it wasn’t crowded cause it’s really not large at all.

  That evening we wanted to make s'mores and we couldn’t get the fire pit lit. We even exchanged the gas from the grill cause we knew that was full. Still we couldn’t get it started.

  While the house itself was very nice, well stocked and clean, the area itself is not ideal for outdoor activities.

  We did see many many deer which were quite friendly. My dog had a stand off with one. I think she thought it was her brother or sister.

  Hi Patti, we want our guests to rest easy when they stay with us, and we apologize you experienced some issues during your trip. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  - We apologize for the issue upon arrival. The front office had a one-off issue and did not update their system for the new guests. We called in that evening to have them let into the community and then called the front office the next morning as soon as they opened to ensure no further issues.
  - We were in communication regarding the power outage which was due to a storm affecting the entire area. Moving forward, we'll include emergency supplies, such as flashlights, for guest use during such situations.
  - There are multiple lakes and beaches in the community, as well as two pools for guests to enjoy. We are disappointed they did not meet your expectations. We also provide a list of nearby activities in our welcome email for additional options.
  - We include a video on how to light the fire pit in our welcome email. We're sorry you had trouble with it, but we haven't received further complaints regarding the fire pit.
