The pedal boat was not there. When the host was questioned, he said it had sunk and he hadn’t been able to replace it. My son wanted to use the red kayak but it was filled with an ant colony (eggs and all) so he took the larger paddleboard. When he was in the middle of the lake, it took on water. Luckily he had his life jacket on and was able to get Mack to the dock and push the paddleboard back.The path to the lake was treacherous, especially for grandparents in their 70’s. Some steps need to be added.There were cobwebs throughout the house.The propane tank for the grill was empty.The kitchen was well stocked but Teflon pans were chipping and it needs a working exhaust fan.Living and dining areas were large and very accommodating.Beds were fair. Extra pillows would be nice.The laundry facilities were good.Parking was tight. ##### Robert M.

The place was very accommodating for our group. Nice large kitchen and table for meals. Plenty of space and areas to relax. The dock was in good condition and fairly easy to get to. The location is convenient for having a boat and swimming as there is less boat traffic. It may be a little challenging for some as there is only a rough path down to the dock/water. We did not have trouble parking three cars and a trailer (for 16-foot boat). ##### Karl S.

We just returned from this Awesome house. We stayed last year also and enjoyed it so much we rented it 5 weeks straight to go skiing, snow tubing, snowmobiling, and relax with family and friends. The house was always clean throughout our stay. The custom kitchen was fun to cook in. Their was plenty of firewood and the road was plowed every time it snowed. We frequented Skytop Lodge every Sunday for the fabulous brunch buffet 6 miles from the house. John was great and always at our service. ##### John G. ### 8/10 Good #### Michelle R. 16 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### January ‘23 Beautiful location on the lake. The house was ample and spacious for our large family. One small concern was addressed immediately. The host was very easy to contact and quick to respond. Make sure you review the listing prior to booking for provisions that you will need to supply and for parking details. We had a Bald Eagle in the tree out back, and deer in the side yard. Enjoyable stay! ##### Michelle R.

Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Brenda T. 27 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Check-in #### House on the HILL Clean nice spacious house but on a killer hill. Great property for younger families with good privacy having bedrooms on all 3 floors, however, the mattresses are terrible. Poor outside maintenance since we paid for our dog and the yard was way over grown, so no yard to play games or to let the dog run. No gas for the grill, we had to run and get some to cook our dinner. No comfort in any of the seating. I was expecting a little more for my money. A few upgrades and this property could have been excellent instead of mediocre. ##### Brenda T. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer D. 6 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful House - Wonderful Location I stayed for a week with my teenage and adult children. Family came as well. The house is big. Downstairs there are 3 bedrooms (Queen room, & 2 with queen bunk beds), main floor is the primary (king and bathroom), upstairs is a queen bedroom with a private bath room and a loft. Lots of space. 2 “family room” areas. The teens hung downstairs with couches, pool table and TV. The adults were upstairs. Hill is steep. Not a house for those with mobility problems. But we were fine. The house was great. If I was going to find something to complain about, it would be that I could not figure out the temperatures on the Viking range. However, no food burned. :-) ##### Jennifer D. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Connor F. 4 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very nice house lacking some basic amenities I stayed at this property with a group of friends for New Year’s Eve weekend. The house is very nice; high ceilings, large rooms, upgraded kitchen, etc. That said, there were a few downsides which is why I would not give this property 5 stars. Multiple basic amenities that I would expect to find at a rental house (especially at the elevated nightly rate we paid for New Year’s Eve) were not supplied such as hand soap in bathrooms and an adequate amount of towels. The fireplaces also did not vent well enough even with the flue fully opened leading to the house being extremely smoky when the fireplaces were lit. The master bathroom also has a mildew-y smell that was very unpleasant. Overall, it was a great house and our stay was enjoyable, but attention to detail was lacking, leading to 4 stars. ##### Connor F. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### john r. 4 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Great location but needs the small details fixed The property is beautiful but at the moment does not live up to its potential. The home is a great location, the furniture exquisite yet every review citing the missing necessities are true. We found 1 dish towel..1 The vanity bathroom paper curtain was falling down until we fixed it with a thumbtack...this property deserves better. You can tell there is upgrading going on, the bathrooms are very nice although the shower head in the main floor bedroom is way too high and you basically get dribbled on. The property advertises a Keurig, there was none..thank goodness we live close. It was too cold for us to use the canoes however we never did see life preservers in the house..if you plan on that it might be something to inquire about. You WILL have smoke in the house if you run a fire...we had a helluva hot fire and the house still filled up...it was windy that day, it may have something to do with that, I'm not sure but..be advised. The stove is virtually unmarked..its hit or miss on what power setting you've chosen...the two ovens are very nice as is the spectacular dining room table. We found the beds comfortable, the bunk beds are extra large so very comfortable for adults however, the bed linens are thin..if you like some "heft" on you at night to sleep bring your own comforters or bedspreads. Im running out of space, you get the drift. bring flashlights..its treacherous walking to the fire pit at night. (never did find the lights supposedly there) ##### john r. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### James N., Leonardo, NJ USA 1 Nov 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Lots to Like - and a couple suggestions First of all, the property is gorgeous and as advertised. The area was nice, the house was very clean and nicely organized, Wifi was excellent and the lake view was awesome. You're about 15 minutes from town in either direction, which is perfect, and there are several restaurant choices that were good. In the house, there's a nice open feel and there are multiple cozy locations with fireplaces, etc. The kids also loved the bedrooms, particularly the bunk rooms. A couple suggestions or cautions that could really improve the experience in the future: Communication with the Owner: No outreach after booking, it was an automatic acceptance, and I had to ping him to get access to keys for the house. First and only time we spoke. I gave it a pass, but when we arrived there was a very large scale power outage and the house and surrounding area was obviously pitch black. When I called him I was declined and when I texted if he had flashlights or candles anywhere I never heard back. There also aren't very clear instructions on how to operate TVs, fireplaces, etc. and all the DVD remotes in the house were missing. No checkout procedures shared, etc. These are easy fixes with a one pager and some care applied to in between booking protocols. Access to property and lake: Although the instructions say 4 can park in driveway, you won't get more than two cars in unless the 3rd car parks parallel and blocks in the first two....or you park in a very steep driveway that descends to the lake (in which case I'd suggest blocks under tires). There is no street parking. Accessing the lake is a bit treacherous as you're going down a steep rugged lawn (no stairs or walkway) and we had a couple slip and falls due to wet conditions, leaves, etc. No harm done, we had 3 cars and soft landings, but maybe a long term opportunity for improvement. Stocking the house: One wine glass, a pool table with one stick and no chalk, no condiments of any kind or any starter supplies (like toilet paper), limited baking plans and plates, etc. This shouldn't disqualify the house, but it is something you want to be prepared for and bring with you, particularly if you're filling house to capacity. All of this said, the availability of the boat, canoe, kayak, paddleboard, along with the entire house having a really good layout and a nice hunting lodge feel really made it worth it. We'd go again. ##### James N.

Our initial impressions were very positive. John, the owner, is friendly and accessible, and the exterior of the property was ready for us - road/driveway mostly clear of snow, walkways shoveled, etc. Inside the home, our impressions were mixed. The house is large, open, and comfortably furnished. The living area is great, as are the views. Unfortunately, the house had a diesel odor, probably from a recent heating oil refill and the entire house just didn’t feel especially clean. The bathrooms were so-so, the kitchen drawers were a mess - one had every kitchen tool, including knives, just haphazardly dumped in, and another was filled with hardware like nails and screws. (Also, no wine opener - bring your own). The main floor primary bedroom had a significant roof leak that filled a bucket during our stay. John told us about the leak ahead of time and said the room was still usable, though he didn’t say that the leak was in a primary bedroom. Water dripped constantly and the careless rearrangement of the heavy furniture made it so we couldn’t close the bathroom door. The room wasn’t useable, which was unfortunate since we had two couples. As for provisioning, come prepared. The listing showed the normal VRBO provisions provided by owner. We didn’t find anything except for a half roll of toilet paper or two, and John said this change was due to Covid. No problem - it didn’t take much to get what we need - but it was frustrating to have to go to the store immediately upon arrival to buy soap, toilet paper, etc. when we could have just brought those things. This was an annoying inconvenience - please come prepared. Also, the towel situation was not great. The towels weren’t easy to find, and were not set up in each bathroom. Also, many of the towels were being used on the floor of the bedroom to contain the leak. Finally, on our final day the refrigerator broke and spoiled our food (the ice maker never worked, so bring a bag of ice, too). John said it’s possible we put it into demonstration mode (?), which would have turned off the compressors, but said he was going to replace it anyway. In summary, it’s a big house in a pretty location that may be best suited for a family or group that is okay with a large, tired home. ##### Matt K.

The view of the lake is incredible. ##### Bethany S. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Kimberly S., pennsylvania 3 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Exactly as Advertised This property was exactly how it was advertised in the listing. The house was clean and organized upon arrival. As stated in the description- be sure to bring paper products as there is a limited amount to get your started. The driveway is very very steep and narrow. The walkway down to the lake is also somewhat steep. One of the kids fell walking down and got quite a few scrapes. We had some trouble with the fireplace. The smoke filled the house and not sure why as we had the flues open. The bedding blankets were thin so if you like thick heavy blankets I would bring some of your own. The house was nice and warm so the blankets were just fine for our stay. They also have baby gates for the stairways which was perfect for our family. ##### Kimberly S.

The home and location were perfect our family getaway. Great views of Lake Wallenpaupack. We came in the fall and think it maybe even better for a summer getaway. ##### Richard R. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathryn N. 18 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quality and fun factor!!! Reading other peoples' reviews, I'm guessing that they expect a five star hotel experience? These properties are used by other families all year long, so you are never going to find perfection. Yet this property comes crazy close! The details in the design blew me away. From the tile in the power room (LOVED it!) to the rustic canoe hung by the ceiling in the game room to the flannel carpet in the basement, no expense was spared in designing this beautiful home. The owner also threw in extras to make this home safe for toddlers, including toddler safe doorknobs in the loft suite, and baby gates. Rooms that are typically throw away spaces (like a loft) were instead made into a beautiful suite. The fun factor is totally there, between the boats, the dock, and the floating dock. Neighbors are friendly, kitchen is totally stocked with quality dishware, and the lake view is just lovely. The couch was so comfy that some of us opted to sleep in the great room. It was easy to reach the owner via cell phone, and he was friendly and helpful. Thanks for the effort you put into this place, John! We appreciated all of it! ##### Kathryn N.

This place was exactly as stated - Beautiful house and property right on the lake. Saw a lot of wildlife, and had deer roaming around us day and night Used many of the amenities, and we all enjoyed ourselves immensely! Would stay here again in a heartbeat! ##### Tom R.
