• Great house and area

  5/5

  My family and I come up every year to go to Knoebels. We decided to rent a house this year instead of camping, this house was right next to so many great restaurants and shops, we didn't need to drive to go eat. Plus the house was so clean! The owner also left a binder of local places to visit and try. Would highly recommend this house.

• End of summer vacation

  5/5

  Finding this property was very easy, the porch light was left on for us and I LOVED the keyless entry! The property owner was amazing. She contacted us to make sure we had everything we needed and that we had no problems. The house was the perfect size for my family and having a fully functioning kitchen was amazing. The bedrooms were good sizes, beds were very comfortable and I especially liked that the nightstands next to the beds had built in outlets and USB ports. The size of the bathroom was great. Both my girls were able to get ready at the same time! If I had any negative comment it would be that the living room furniture is a bit worn out, the bedroom doors are hard to close and there is no bathroom on the first floor. None of which are deal breakers for us. We had a wonderful stay here and will definitely be visiting again!!!

• A place to sleep

  1/5

  The house was clean. They did a nice job with supplying extra stuff incase you forgot to pack something. The only complaints I have is the area is so depressed. It’s a very strange town, there’s nothing in that town. I knew nothing about Mount Carmel, we only needed a place to stay that was close enough to knobels. The other complaint is how bad the smell was in the house. Smells musty like mold. And they use a lot of plugs Ins and scents to disguise the stench. Which to me makes the smell that much worse. But it’s just a place to sleep. If you’re going to knobels.

  Hi Kelly, the right vacation home is everything, and we're disappointed if this wasn't the one for you. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  - We're sorry you didn't find Mount Carmel to your liking. There are places in Elysburg that you may find more aesthetically pleasing, though they come at a higher price point. We encourage guests to use the map on the listing to see the approximate location and research the area before booking to ensure they find a location that meets their preferences.
  - We would’ve appreciated hearing from you about any concerns during your stay. Unfortunately, we didn’t have the chance to address them at the time.
  - The house was built in the 1930s, and we try to match the decor to fit the old style. However, we assure you there's no musty smell or mold, as we're required to have annual inspections for such problems. We do have a plug-in in the bathroom that can be easily taken out by those who don't like the scent.
  We work hard to provide a wonderful guest experience and look forward to hosting many satisfied visitors.

• Poorly stocked

  4/5

  Bathroom smelt of cat urine, portable ac units were a nightmare, leaked. No ac in kitchen or laundry room. poorly stocked kitchen, couldn’t even cook a proper meal for my family. Only 4 chairs to sit at the table and there were 5 of us. Not enough silverware. Lights didn’t work and bulbs were out too dim to see properly to eat. Nice complimentary drinks, toiletries and plenty of towels in the bathroom

  From the Owner: "Hi, I am sorry to hear you did not enjoy your stay, and I am sorry to hear you were expecting five chairs, as the picture only shows four. We always encourage guests to reach out with any problems so we can resolve them, but unfortunately, we did not hear from you during your stay only to ask if the complimentary items were for you to take. I hope your journey home was a safe one!"
