House was comfortable and in a beautiful location on the lake. In winter was beautiful and loved the hot tub looking out over the frozen lake. House was clean with plenty of comfortable beds. Living room/dining room was great for our group toenjoy a New Year’s Eve! Would stay here again in a heartbeat! Thank yoy
The host was very, very responsive. The house was comfortable and very clean. We especially liked the dining room table that could be rearranged for eating and then for cards and games. Beds were comfortable. Bathrooms newly renovated.
I booked this house for my husband's 60th birthday as a relaxing getaway. This house was so spacious it had six amazing bedrooms 2 1/2 bathrooms, which we didn't even use all the space. We especially loved the downstairs area with the pool table and the backyard space with the lake.
Our family goes away every winter for a long weekend, and everyone agreed that this was one of our best! Margaret was a wonderful hostess, and made the checkin and checkout so simple. The home came as advertised and was in perfect condition.
spent time indoors in spacious house and outdoors by the lake. nice to have private access to lake with kayaks and boat at the house. plenty of tables/chairs to relax indoors and outdoors. very nice updated kitchen and bathrooms.
The property was well kept and managed well. With one quick stop at the grocery store we were set for our weekend. The cabin is conveniently located near a grocery store. The amenities on the property were all enjoyable. The property owner was quick responding and communicated clearly. Thank you for a great stay!
The cabin being right on the lake provided such a fun and relaxing weekend for my friends and I. The inside is nice and clean, with plenty of room for everyone. The boat, canoe and kayaks are all in great condition and comfortable to ride. The host is very helpful and easy to contact prior and during your stay as well. I can't recommend this listing enough for fellow lovers of the outdoors.
My family and I stayed for 2 nights for our annual getaway. What a great time we all had!! The house was clean and spacious. Plenty of room for the 15 of us. The lake views are beautiful!! The host was so patient and promptly answered all of my questions. Would highly recommend!!
Myself and six friends stayed at Inn Kognito to disconnect from everyday life for a weekend. The home was amazing and exactly what we needed. It was very spacious so it didn't feel like we were on top of each other at all. The beds were extremely comfortable. The kitchen, dining space, and living rooms were also 5 stars. Overall the experience was perfect. My friends and I are no considering doing such a trip once a year and if we're back in the Poconos area again, Inn Kognito will be at the top of the list for accomodations.
Beautiful 5 days on a lakefront property. The house was very big- spacious enough for the 12-13 guests we had. Close by public natural preserves with beautiful hiking/waterfalls. We did a lot of cooking and the kitchen was very well stocked with absolutely everything we needed for cooking (though the knives could have been a lot sharper). Would definitely recommend.
We had a wonderful weekend! Our group of 6 adults found the place big enough to hang out and have meals together. We were able to have our own bedroom during our stay. The house was located close to the water edge. Deer roamed through the property. We were able to enjoy the newly installed hot tub. The host was attentive and answered any questions quickly and clearly.
Our family group of 8 adults and 5 young children had a wonderful week at Inn Kognito 1. We enjoyed the association amenities: 2 beaches, 2 pools, Pickleball. Several of us biked, ran and walked around the neighborhood and usually saw deer. And we enjoyed the property’s own amenities: we fished off the dock, used the rowboat, kayaks, canoe and the fire pit. The house had all we needed; and the owner was quick to respond to questions and a minor appliance problem which was quickly fixed. We can recommend this property.
My college friends and I had a very cozy weekend at this property. We enjoyed the indoor fireplace while it snowed. The hot tub was a great way to warm up on a cold winter day with a great view of the frozen lake. Margaret was very easy to communicate with before and during our stay. Would definitely stay here again.
