There was plenty of space to relax and enjoy some down time. There were some cobwebs on the two porches and in the high ceilings and we had to spray for some ants in the kitchen, but overall the house was clean and well maintained. One misadventure was that the house alarm hadn't been disarmed before we arrived and we set it off, resulting in a visit from the local police before it was sorted out. Parking is tight for more than two cars. We enjoyed watching deer browse in the backyard several mornings. In addition to Musikfest, we made a day trip to Philadelphia and visited a couple of local brew pubs. I would recommend the house to people visiting the area, particularly larger families or a group of friends. ##### Louise R. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael Y. 17 Jul 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Wedding This house was perfect for our family to gather.

There are plenty of bedrooms and places to hang out together or to get some privacy. But the best part are the huge windows in the kitchen and dining room that look out into the very private back yard. We saw a family of deer playing there every day we were there. ##### Barry R.

The house was perfect for our needs. I would not recommend it for toddlers or even small children. Two open staircases and the railing upstairs could be very dangerous for small ones. It was in a great location for us. We had family in Allentown, went to NYC and Princeton all within the week. Very centrally located. Plenty of room for 6 of us. ##### Pam C. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew F. 20 Jul 2015 #### Comfortable Property We stayed at this property while visiting our family for a reunion and it was perfect for our use. My son and his wife flew in to Philly from the west coast, the airport is less than 90 minutes away. The rest of us (my son and daughter-in-law with grandchild, another son, my wife and I) drove up from the south. The pictures really can't capture how large and comfortable this house is. All of us had plenty of room to get together for meals or just talk, and if one of us needed to get away for a nap (the grand baby) there were plenty of quiet bedrooms to get away to. One word of caution that I must make: the open stairway in the center of the house was not "toddler friendly" in that the balusters on the railings were far enough apart that a child could fall between them. We quickly remedied this by using a temporary toddler fence around them. What a pleasure to wake up in the morning and look out the windows of the back of the house to the garden view. Twice we saw deer in the distance. The Old Orchard location is perfect, an established neighborhood with wonderful old trees, close to everything that the Lehigh Valley offers. We would highly recommend this property and look forward to using it again for future trips home. ##### Andrew F.

We were extremely happy with everything about the home which is kept very clean inside and out the beautiful grounds!! We would not hesitate for a moment to rent this home again - is perfect for any type of family function! ##### Richard H.

Plenty of space for everyone. Nicely decorated with beautiful grounds. We were 15-20 mins from both the rehearsal dinner at one Country Club, and the wedding at a different Country Club. People commented that we could have had the wedding in the huge back yard! The basement was a bit musty upon arrival but aired out over time. No screens on the windows was a disappointment. All of the rooms had one bed which might not work for some. Overall, we were delighted with this choice! ##### Rosemary M. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### John B. 18 Sept 2014 #### Great place for family! Property was "as advertised", Conveniently located and spacious. With 6 adults and 2 infants, plenty of room to spread out and each family have its own space. It worked perfectly for us. The only negative to speak of was the staircase which ran up the center of the house form the basement to the third floor. With a 15 month old walker and 9 month old crawler, we had to be on alert. We got thru it OK and had a great stay. ##### John B.

It is the same for the house and property on Chain Dam Road. The house is amazing and quirky with wooden staircase in the center of the home and rooms fanning out from mid, lower, and higher levels. We enjoyed using the pool table and guitar. We happened to have a guitar player in our party and it was easily tuned. The large picture windows everywhere were very Frank Lloyd Wright-esque, so we felt surrounded by the beauty of the outdoors constantly. The home was inviting, relaxing, and the rooms were large. No disappointments. The washer, dryer, plumbing, electric, and air worked very well. The yard was great for Frisbee throwing, exploring, bird watching, and seeing an occasional deer. The bike path along the road was conducive to walking or hiking. The dam was less than a mile away for viewing. We assigned breakfast, lunch, and snacks to family members and everyone had fun preparing meals to share. Eating together was great fun and convenient to do. The Wi-Fi and cable were easy to use and came in handy for us to preview some Drum Corp International entertainment before the shows: the main reason we were there. The DCI shows were in Allentown at the J. Birney Crum Stadium which was only a 30 minute drive away from the Chain Dam house. We were only 4.5 miles from anything we needed: i.e. Wal-mart, Sam's Club, Wegman's, other shopping, local dining, chain dining, and much more. Some of our more cautious family members brought their own linens: sheets and towels, but they found that it was not necessary to use them. Everything was clean. We also enjoyed sitting outside on the patio furniture, and we used the propane grill once for burgers and hot dogs. There were no major down sides to our experience, but since nothing is perfect here are a couple minor issues. Since we had never done anything like this before, we were a bit nervous that we never actually talked to anyone during the entire process. We felt like we were taking a major leap into the unknown. I like everything online and digital, but making the reservations and paying out the money from 3000 miles away was a bit unnerving. Yet, we kept going, and we are glad that we did. The only thing we wish the house had on hand was a 9 x 13 baking dish. We improvised fine. All other utensils were well stocked. Bottom floor musty. The consensus was: let's do it again! ##### Pamela F.

Everything is fantastic, and I would recommend it to anyone seeking a rental of this size in the Easton area. ##### Stephen M.

We each found a comfortable room to stay, there were enough bathrooms for everyone, and the dog could run freely outside. There were multiple hanging out spots in the house too, so we could each do different activities: pool table downstairs, TV room, reading area, kitchen, basket ball outside, gym, music room, etc. but there was also enough space to all sit at a table together for dinner. There is a run/walk path along the river about 5 min from the house which was great to walk the dog and to go jogging. Other than that we didn't really visit the area, we just enjoyed each other's company in this comfortable and beautifully designed house. ##### Natacha V. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### James B. 23 Aug 2013 #### Had a great stay - will be back! I would highly recommend this place. I stayed a week at the house with my wife and daughter just to get out of the city. The house is very unique and we spent more time inside than anticipated. We liked the large windows to the back of the house and the view to the garden. We may bring more family the next time because the house is perfect for a family gathering. We’ve been to the Lehigh Valley so we know the area. It’s great for hiking and my wife and daughter like the malls there. We will be back. ##### James B. ---
