On Private 8 Acre Lake---Totally On 50 Acre Property....... Pets Friendly

Leonard, our host, was quick to respond to any of our questions/concerns. The property itself is a bit small, well maintained, clean, and cozy. My family along with 2 doggies had a great time in the winter as well. The surrounding area is beautiful and had a good time exploring nearby Honesdale!

Read hosts pre-provided instructions and did map research, so no issue finding house in dark. Kitchen and appliances worked great. Made family meals utilizing brand-new oven. Brought pans but filled in with what house provided; Heat worked great. Freezing outside and house was always a good temp; Plenty of hot water for showers, washing, laundry; Washer and dryer units worked perfectly. Mud room was clutch keeping wet gear out of living area; Allows Pets! Yes, furniture is aging but less concern about them cuddling than with new furniture; Grounds were beautiful. Took pets for walk (on long lead) and hound dog was overjoyed; Some considerations - House does have water damage / moldy smell. It’s an older structure that goes through winter weather extremes; Spots around the house need repair from water damage - bathroom ceiling, kitchen floor; Cellar steps are only covered by a baby gate and not door. Factor for young children or pets as it wasn’t safe for them to be in mud room unsupervised. Otherwise, just regular Pennsylvania dusty cellar; Very odd, but most windows not covered. This was a major point of unease during stay, especially with teen daughters; Host responded to other reviews stating cleaning and sanitization is done after each stay, and that may be the case, but isn’t level of hotel or high-priced rental. The winter rate was affordable, so you get what you pay for. We regularly tent camp so we’re a ‘make do’ kind of family. Overall house was good home base for u

We wanted to “get away” and this place was perfect…plenty of room, lots of privacy, dog-friendly (of course we brought our pug, Rosie!), and beautiful views! We enjoyed a campfire each night in the stunning outside space. Our host, Leonard, was helpful and responded immediately to any questions we had. A great experience!

Needed a place for the weekend as we were visiting our kids at away camp. Wanted something near camp. Did a search and this came up in the same town. Unfortunately, it was not the same town but another town some distance away. No biggie. Unfortunately, the property manager/owner states he informed me of a road closure, which I never received. Drove around trying to get cell service and trying to find the property, in the dark. Finally called VRBO and spoke with a rep who attempted to relate directions from the owner. 1.5 hours later we finally found the house but had to stop at the local bar/restaurant who stated " do you know how many people can't find this property " but she recognized the deck from other travelers. House was found, no lights and no instructions on key, etc. Listing states, air conditioning; only the main living room and its a window unit only. No air conditioning in the bedrooms. Bed in 2nd bedroom broke, unusable. Water damage in the 2nd bedroom ceiling. Didn't want to argue with owner, too tired but happy to see my kids. View from the kitchen is beautiful. Definitely what you'd expect of picturesque PA. Could be a great place with a little TLC.
