Let’s just say the place does not look like the pictures. It was absolutely filthy. Food on the floor, dirty socks, flies and cobwebs everywhere. Garbage piled up at the end of the driveway. We stayed about 30 min and left. Family was literally in tears. If you want a painful experience book this place. ##### Alison Y. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### janine l. 12 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication Disliked: Location #### Enjoyable lake house/ Awful neighbors First the neighbors do not want renters on this property. They have a sign posted facing the house telling you that they don’t want you in their neighborhood. They called safety community Police on us three time in 24 hours. Had to call Regional Police to file a complaint of harassment for her to stop. Apparently, the the community association and management company are to familiar with her. There is camera on property and the owner, and management company access them while you are there to see if your violating any rules and to see if the neighbors complaints are valid. There is no grass for dogs to go to bathroom. Dog park is 1/2 mile from house within walking. No dressers in any bedroom, no hangers in closets, sectional couch was worn. Both Adults & kids had a great time kayaking, canoeing, bond fires, and fishing. The owner was easy to get a hold of , very nice. I feel bad for him because his neighbor is a total Karen. The lake is beautiful and it’s a great vacation to be outdoors. The price is way to high for this community and the aggravation of the neighbors. The community is unkept there are some houses making updates and maintenance to their yards. Overall, the price wasn’t worth the area or the problems. ##### janine l.

House was clean, beds were comfortable (except the bunks). Very sparse furniture. No dressers in bedrooms, no curtains. Kitchen was fairly well stocked. Lake is peaceful and quiet. Loads of kayaks & a canoe were great for our family. Definitely some weirdness has happened between other renters & the next door neighbor. Made for some awkwardness. ##### Lisa B.

Maintenance needs to be done on the deck, deck railing, and steps. Deck cushions were a little old. Deck chairs needed repair work also. Kitchen was acceptable as was the inside furniture. The neighborhood has a lot of trash along the roadside as well as in front yards of unoccupied homes. Our family did have a lot of fun despite the downsides listed above. ##### Deb U.

Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Victoria P., Farmingdale 4 Aug 2020 Liked: Communication Disliked: Location #### Family trip I’ll start out by saying communication with Jacob was easy and he was very responsive (5 stars). The good: house and deck are spacious, kayaks provided, close to attractions in the Poconos. The bad: the community A POCONO COUNTRY PLACE (google it) has high crime and is a bit run down. Given the amount of crime in the neighborhood the lack of security in the house was disappointing. The neighbors are also sketchy, same threat as others said about their dog having a heavy bite and will attack if ours roams on their property. Also told us to not take pictures of them and put on YouTube? Very odd exchange. While I understand the review should be on this property the overall experience was soured due to my family being a bit uncomfortable. ##### Victoria P.

The booking process was great. I heard from Jacob several times and he seemed very welcoming. They check in process wasn’t fabulous. There were only 2 people working behind the desk and this took about 30 minutes. After that, the vacation was wonderful. The boats for use were so much fun. Our kids had their first experience with kayaks. They took them out several times a day along with the pedal boat and canoe. We fished right off the dock all day. We used the grill, outside seating and fire pit lots. The inside was perfect for our group of 8 (6 adults and 2 children). The house was clean and came with towels and linens. WiFi and Tv We’re good. Will be booking again next year! ##### Susan M.

My stay at the lake house was just what I was looking for. The property was so comfortable and easy to enjoy. My parents visited me mid week and fell in love with place as well. With the oversized deck sitting right on the edge of the water, and the canoe and kayaks ready for launch, you just feel like the lake is yours. Grilling dinner and then enjoying the fire pit is the perfect wrap up to a great day. Looking forward to a return trip as are my wife and my parents. ##### Thomas H.

My father doesn’t like big parties, but he has been looking forward to his retirement, so we rented this house so he could fish. It was amazing! He could fish right from the dock- we caught about a thousand blue gills, but caught some bass and perch later in the day. The view can’t be beat! We loved waking up right on the water and being able to enjoy our coffee right on the deck. The beds were comfortable and there was more than enough room for everyone. The actual community is a little run down, but this house is not, and it was a pleasure to stay there! The owner was very easy to communicate with and so helpful with the check in process, things to do around the area, and check out. I would definitely recommend staying at the Tobyhanna house to anyone who is looking to enjoy nature and a quiet weekend/week! ##### Jacqueline M.

The instructions for getting the gate pass for the gated community could have been better: A) publish hours for office, B) give clear instructions for getting to property by going back out to main road. After a long drive this was not a good start, but once everyone got there we enjoyed our stay & the owner was very nice and responsive. ##### Ann Z.

The decks looking over the lake are amazing and provided endless entertainment for our kids and pups. We would highly recommend. ##### Alex P. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lindsay A. 30 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Weekend get-away We had a great stay here. It is a beautiful spot on the lake and you can’t beat the deck. There was plenty of space for all 12 of us and the house had everything you could need for a weekend at the lake. The host was easy to get in touch with and check in was painless. Just be aware that the neighbor is not very friendly. We overall had a very good weekend and it was perfect for what we needed. ##### Lindsay A.

Jacob was very communicative. Access to kayaks and a paddle boat is a huge plus. A great out door deck. Some parts of the house needs upgrades, but overall great stay. ##### KOMAL B. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 19 Aug 2019 Liked: Communication Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Mixed review Great communication and lake front amenities! However the neighborhood is really run down (even the homes on both sides of this property). The home needs some tlc- some broken spindles on the deck, sheets that fit the beds, etc. The dryer was broke and the “laundry service” that was offered was a total failure. Plans were canceled since towels were return 3 hours after expected and multiple phone calls. Not something you want to deal with on vacation. The lake is beautiful and peaceful! We enjoyed the lake view. The house was stocked for a nice stay and shopping near by. We had to drive the the visitors center to access the gate- which was not expected. The community pools was small/crowded but served the purpose on a hot summer day. Will explore different a community/town for rentals next time. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deana P. 16 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect lake vacation We stayed here with 6 adults and 5 teenagers and everyone had a great time! I read every review and I don’t agree with the negative ones. Check in at the welcome center took less than 3 minutes. It was a breeze if you just read the instructions Jacob sends you. All you need is your license and registration. We were in and out. Not once did we have a problem with the neighbors, and we were outside all day and into the night. How could you not the view is amazing. The house absolutely does look like the pictures. It’s clean, stocked with what you need, the kitchen has everything, pots, pans, bowls, measuring cups griddle. Beds were comfortable. Big smart tv, the deck is huge and the view perfection. You can’t get closer to the water without being in it, bbq worked fine and plenty of seating. Jacob had a welcome basket which was very helpful, including a ton of brochures with things to do nearby. The kids went to camelbeach. Some of the adults went to an outdoor shooting range. Side note: the shooting range was great the guy helping us was an ex marine and showed us some drills he did with the guns while he was training lots of fun and they let us go past the hour we paid for since it wasn’t too busy. Jacob responds to emails usually within minutes. He was wonderful to communicate with. For the people that say the neighborhood is run down, it’s the Pennsylvania mountains, you’re not in the French Alps. And THIS house was great, updated and well kept. It was quiet and peaceful, you will not regret staying here. ##### Deana P.
