Such a nicely decorated cottage nestled in a quiet, private community with great walking and bicycle paths to private beach with lake access. Very easy communication with host. She was so nice! Close to Jim Thorpe. Deck offered a relaxing outdoor space for morning coffee or evening wind down.
The bed I slept in was very hard, and the sheets were very thin. There was no central air which is my fault for not checking, but being from the Gulf Coast, it never occurred to me. The portable AC in the den was loud and large. The kitchen was ill equipped, but the worse thing was the hall bathroom shower. There was no place in the shower for soap or shampoo! All this wouldnât have been so bad, but this hostess had a rating of 10, and there wasnât a single towel in the kitchen! Had to go to Walmart and buy several things. Three adults for 5 nights got 2 rolls of toilet paper! I always look for premier hosts, and most places have been worthy of that, but not this. I was burned one time in Ireland, but chalked it up to cultural differences. I searched for my review of that place and found it had been removed. So, he had a high rating. All that tells me now is forget trusting VRBOâs because this was no 10, nor was Ireland, Now I suppose Iâll get a poor review, although I paid LOL my bills as I should, and left the place in good shape.
We enjoyed our stay. The house was exactly as described. The home is also well appointed with everything you would need for cooking. Two things to note: You will need to physically take all of your trash to a dumpster about a mile away during designated times. It cannot be left on the property. Second, if you visit in the summer there is no central AC or window units. There is a portable AC in the living room which is great but only ceiling fans in the bedrooms. The bedrooms got a little stuffy but wasnât unbearable.
No kitchen towels and not enough towels in general. Screen door did not close. No shelves in shower area for soap and shampoo. Not enough toilet paper and no tissues. We had to purchase things we didnât think we would. A little disappointing.
Iâve stayed in many houses in the community over the past 15 years and this one was a great setup. I tend to bring my own pots, pans, utensils, towels, dish soap, etc. but there was no need to do that here. Very clean, well stocked, organized, and comfortable. Kudos to the host for making it such a comfortable stay.
We had a quick 3 night stay to do some skiing with the family and it could not have gone any better! The weather was perfect with a light snow each day. Deer each morning met us by the patio for breakfast. The home was exactly as listed and suited our needs perfectly. And the owner was a pleasure to work with. Looking forward to staying there again in the future!
Went for a ski trip and the cottage is adorable and so clean. It was perfect for our stay and close to Big Boulder! Communications were seamless and it was nice to have a functional fireplace on those chilly nights!! Highly recommend!!
We had a great stay at this spotless home. We were looking for a place to go after the holidays to unwind and relax, and this fit the bill. The house is nicely appointed, with updated bedrooms and bathrooms. We spent some time in charming Jim Thorpe as well as the surrounding hiking trails. We enjoyed the snowfall and the many visiting deer.My recommendations for improvement would be adding more blankets, switching to a higher-quality mattress in the master bedroom, and not requiring the renters to clean out the fireplace and then drive their trash to the dumpsters upon checkout. Those things should be covered by the cleaning crew. I also suggest that they change the check out time on the listing (11am) to match the time requested by the owner (10am). I did not realize the discrepancy until the morning we checked out and scrambled to get out on time That said, I would definitely recommend this place to other renters. It was cozy and comfortable! Thank you for making your home available to us and our four-legged friends!
beutiful property,well kept,clean friendly service.
deer on property anytime during the day, at one time we had 9 deer in the front yard. quiet area. we will stay there again
The cabin was amazing and very clean and much better than a hotel room, the space was spacious and had many homegood
Necessities to cook and be just as if you were at home. The host was very informative and quick to reply back and we highly reccommend. The area was a large community of cabins of all sizes and peaceful with Deer all over which was a nice thing to see coming from Long Island NY.
We would go back again
The cabin was lovely. Very updated and pretty. The bed in the master was a little hard for my liking, but otherwise everything was lovely. The lake was open and beautiful.
The location was perfect. This was definitely the cleanest, nicest rental I ever stayed in. The owners were quick to respond to any questions I had. I hope to come back in the summer as this place was perfect!!!
