Amazing stay

It was amazing to see the deets so up close and personal it was breathtaking. The place was amazing the upstairs loft look over amazing. The response time from both Mike and his team was admirable. We really enjoyed ourselves. Not too far from Louis Steakhouse with was a fav!! And the dollar general right around the corner has produce so this place is really that place with location. Will go again and will book this place!!

Lovely few days away

The pup & I had such a nice stay at this chalet this week. The home was lovely, super comfy and very conveniently located to the marina (and the community to convenience stores for any necessities we needed to restock). We thoroughly enjoyed walking around the beautiful neighborhood, sitting by the marina and lounging on the deck during our visit (the daily visits from the deer to the front yard were a real plus! :). The owner was also very accessible & responsive. While it was just the two of us, could see this making a great home for a family given the size and amenities like the game table. Thank you for a great few days of nature, comfort and relaxation, Mike!

quick ski trip

Last minute rental and every went smoothly. Arrived late Friday evening. Lots of wildlife in the neighborhood. Easy to access house with very precise instructions. Cozy layout. Only used lower part of house since there were only 3 of us. Rained the first day but house is close to other activities so water park was visited. Got to ski on Sunday. No home issues. Would return.

Spring break vacation

This was our first family trip to the poconos. We stayed at the Eliot chalet, it was small and homey. it fit our family of 7 perfectly. The kids had a great time playing on the property and we visited a few of the community amenities. I would reccommend this for a big family. We even brought our dogs!

peaceful chalet in quiet community

overall our stay was pleasant . The chalet was open and airy . A few little things needed fixing but nothing that spoiled the stay. It was a perfect size for my husband and I , and our toy dog but a family could also easily be comfortable. There’s much to do in the community and lots of good restaurants in the surrounding areas. My husband and i were a little surprised the chalet wasn’t in a more wooded area and that the neighbours were very close.. They were, however, very friendly. The area is very quiet and deer are very friendly and will eat out of your hand The host Mike was very responsive to all messages both before, during and after our stay. Would recommend, especially if you live in an urban area and require peace and quiet

Cleanliness and Accuracy of Description Are Lacking

We learned in an email sent less than 24 hours prior to check in, "cleaners" only are contracted to sanitize bathrooms. Hardly "immaculate" as the listing leads with, the house is dusty, dirty, food items left on stove and on plates in cabinets and other people's belongings left in/on beds. No linens, kitchen towels, TP, dish detergent, etc. are on-site, which should be made blatantly obvious in the property description but we missed it in the listing until the email sent at 6:15pm prior to our arrival. Location is good! This house is best for a quick stay when most time will be spent at the slopes or outdoors. Details and photos (since they cannot be posted here) were shared with host directly via email in efforts to allow them to correct things for future renters.

Cozy Cottage

We had a great stay at this cottage. Mike was great and replied back quickly to our questions, and we had a lot, lol. He also gave us very detailed info about our stay, rules, directions, etc. There was plenty for us to do around the area. The only complaints we had was that there were 9 of us staying in the house and the main tv was super small for all of us to gather and watch a couple football games, movies and watch the ball drop for NYE. Also the futon in the loft was so uncomfortable, we lost a space to sleep. Thankfully, we brought a blow up bed. Otherwise, the chalet had everything we needed to have a great long weekend!

Home away from home stay

I loved my spacious cabin! It had everything and mor I needed in there. The cons are the ads that said casino was only 15 minutes away, when it was morel like 45 minutes away. My other complaint was the tennis and fishing site was in dire need of being kempt better. The nets were falling in and the grounds looked deserted. I really wanted to fish and grill the fish I cooked for my birthday, but forgot to PURCHASE MY ANNUAL FISHING LICENSE. So, I had no problem purchasing while there, but come to find out one can only keep 3 trout if caught. It was basically, catch & release. Overall, I had a great stay & time.

First Rental

I understand that the place is pet friendly but I was abit taken back when I walked in… the smell of dog was overwhelming, and the counter was dirty. On Friday we packed up and headed to lake, which was closed and no water activities. That was extremely disappointing since the entire reason I rented a place was for the lake.
