Nice quiet location right off the highway in the back of a church. We enjoyed our stay and my daughter liked the porch swing.

It just could’ve been a little cleaner. Didn’t seem like the comforters have been washed in a long time. Although the sheets and clean. The place just needs a really good deep cleaning.

I’ve been thinking about this review for a while because I’m conflicted. This house has all the potential to be the cutest and most comforting stay one could imagine. However, our sheets were dirty, the floors dirty, dishes dirty. There was a broken crack pipe in one of the phone chargers in the couch. It just looked like the bare minimum of cleaning was done, if that. There should not be white stains on the sheets. I will say we contacted the owner and they immediately sent a cleaner to fix this. Although, once we arrived back to the house after the cleaner had “finished” she had only washed the sheets and not cleaned anything else. And when I say washed the sheets she took ALL of our sheets and left. Arrived multiples hours after our arrival to drop them off in trash bags without any notification. We were under the impression that we were without sheets because of lack of communication. I want to say it’s not necessary the owners fault if they are not local but they should highly consider hiring a different cleaning crew. Having said all of this, the house is so comfortable and cozy, my spouse and I still said we wouldn’t mind coming back but we know to bring our own cleaning supplies for any future stays. Mainly because of location, atmosphere, and coziness of the house. I hope this review interprets our stay fairly and that effectively. It’s a great place but needs more care and appreciation than it has been given.

Thank you for your review Allison, we're glad to hear you enjoyed the coziness of the house despite the issues you encountered. We sincerely apologize for the condition of the home upon arrival. The homeowner was under the impression the cleaner put new sheets on the beds and took the others home to clean as the cleaner did not want to disrupt your stay. As the homeowner was unaware of other issues mentioned in your review they plan to obtain a new cleaning company to ensure that future guests do not share your experience. We thank you for informing us of the charger issues with the couch, unfortunately, this is part of the couch and cannot be fixed. Thanks again for your valuable feedback as we continue to improve for future guests!
The cabin was everything we thought it would be and more. My boyfriend and I can not wait to return with the family.

This cabin was great for our family! An odd location, tucked behind a church, but very quiet and secluded. Only 15 min from Scranton, tons of stores and restaurants right down the road. The property manager was very accommodating and quick to reply. The cleaning company however needs to step up their game. There was nothing icky enough to make us want to leave, but it’s obvious the cleaners cut corners. There were no complimentary toiletries as described in the listing, and I had to buy my own sponge and dish soap. This is definitely not a bad review because we really enjoyed staying at the cabin! It just needs some sprucing!
