Maison pour la pêche sur le lac

The location of the house is great, just 15 minutes from Doylestown and close to Philly. The proximity to Peace Valley Lake & Lake Nockamixon was a bonus. The house is large and spacious with a yard and garage. The house has a large updated kitchen, dining room, living room, small game room which leads out to the patio, and a powder room on the 1st floor. There was one window AC unit in the living room, which was sufficient to cool the downstairs except the game room.

The 2nd floor has a full bathroom and 3 bedrooms, one of which is set up as an office (w/a pullout couch), which was awesome b/c I was on a working vacation. The master bedroom has a huge walk-in closet. All of the bedrooms have window ACs, which kept the whole upstairs quite cool. We slept in the 2nd bedroom b/c the mattress in the master was too firm.

Upon check-in, we noticed the center light bulb of the living room ceiling fan was hanging from its fixture. It was broken. The house was very warm upon arrival. None of the AC units were turned on. The grass was only partially mowed. There were piles of yard waste and a lawnmower in the front yard. Weeds were poking up thru the grass. The refrigerator and freezer needed to be wiped out b/c there were actually dead bugs inside! On the last day, there were more in the freezer that I wiped out. The shower curtain was ripped. There were small ants in the house the entire week before any food was brought in. The AC unit made a VERY loud buzzing noise every so often, which woke us out of a sound sleep on more than one occasion!

We never used the patio. The cushions on the outdoor furniture were dirty and moldy and essentially unusable and the back yard just wasn’t that inviting. On the other hand, the front porch was! We moved the small table and chairs in the front yard to the front porch and sat out there often. There was no power cord for the monitor in the office. The owner responded quickly and provided one the next day. The garage was full of stuff:( Again, the owner responded quickly and cleared some space for us, but it didn’t have a lock, and we didn’t want to put our expensive bikes in there. The basement is a very large space with a washer and dryer and separate game room with ping pong that had a door that leads to the driveway.

I would encourage the owner to paint, update the furniture, and stock the kitchen better – there wasn’t even a spatula! b/c it really is a great house in a great location.

Awesome experience and had a issue issue earlier on but the owner came through right away! Great location and right next to a community lake which was great!

Val was a wonderful host! We had a few questions when we first arrived and he was incredibly responsive, accommodating and friendly. My family and I were incredibly comfortable and the house was a great size for 4 of us and our small dog. Close to some great restaurants and an easy drive to Doylestown. Thank you!

Spacious, functional, quiet and conveniently located for local attractions and Philadelphia (walking distance to train station).

Great stay!!! Just love it!!!
