Amazing Estate in heart of Poconos with Private Heated Pool and Hot Tub

Overall, I would rent this house again. It was roomy, comfortable and had a beautiful yard with a nice, clean pool. There are a lot of fun things to do just a few minutes away (Kalahari, Camel Beach, Skiing, Gambling, Really fun brewery with outdoor games and white water rafting). We took advantage of it all. The "outdoor room" was a great hangout with the large bar and plenty of seating. I think it is a good price for what you get. If these few things were fixed/improved, I would have given 5 stars: Need more comfortable mattresses (or a mattress topper), cotton sheets should be standard, the oven is 50 degrees off, you may need a better oven or get it fixed, have a linen closet with extra towels...one towel per guest and 1 hand towel in each 3 bathrooms was not enough for a house this large, have cleaning staff do a deep cleaning (ie: dust the headboards and clean areas that are very dusty that do not get cleaned each week).

The 12 adults and 9 kids staying here at Eugene’s property in long pond had an excellent experience. There was plenty of space to cook, eat, swim, table game and run around in the backyard. The house was stocked with exactly what we were told would be there, everything worked and it was a clean home. Eugene was a great communicator during the booking and during our stay. If you’re looking for a fun and spacious house I would highly recommend this property!

We are four households and had plenty of space. Great location and great property, inside and out.

We stayed for 1 week in August 2023 (3 generations: 8 adults and 7 children ages 21 months to 16 years). Excellent property for our group: Loved the pool and the hot tub. Lots of chairs and lounges outside. The huge lawn area was perfect for the games we brought like cornhole and bocce ball. The fire pit has great seating. The bar area counters were excellent for setting up games, puzzles, kids’ snacks, etc. There’s a refrigerator right there. The game room is nearby and well air conditioned. The main living area was wide open with lots of room. Our whole group was able to fit at the large dining table for family meals (and there’s another table for overflow). The kitchen refrigerator is large, makes ice and has a water dispenser inside. There’s a powder room and a laundry room between the living/kitchen area and the bar/game rooms. The bedrooms are very spread out. Two (and a full bathroom) are on the main floor. The 6 second floor bedrooms are separated: three are over the living area (with a full bathroom) and three (plus a full bath) are accessed by a separate staircase by the game room. We found the beds to be comfortable. As other reviewers have mentioned, there was a bit of a cleanliness issue (spots on the floor that could have been cleaner), but the bathrooms were spotless. Just FYI: bring pool towels, wash cloths, grill tools, hair dryers and a bug zapper. We brought our Amazon Fire Sticks which worked well. The nearby ShopRite has InstaCart delivery.

We spent a week here with four other families - a big group of friends, 10 adults and 10 kids (ages 2-12). It was a wonderful house for us! Highlights were the pool, the hot tub, the big backyard, the fire pit, the ample living space, and the fact that everything was well kept and in good condition. The pool was really spectacular, and it was great to be able to move easily from indoors to the pool deck, especially so we could keep an eye on the kiddos. The downsides: 1) the bed allocation is a little awkward, so we couldn’t split the kids from the adult couples as much as would have been optimal; 2) the beds are fine, but not especially comfy, and the sheets slide around on the mattresses; 3) the kitchen is only minimally stocked with cooking gear - we had to buy a bunch of disposable roasting pans and pizza pans, for instance, and there was only one spatula (maybe two); and finally 4) the oven is extremely ineffective on its normal setting, but works decently well on the convection setting. Also: there were no plastic plates or cups for kids - although the only people who broke glasses during our stay were adults. :) None of those things hampered our enjoyment of the property. It’s spacious, light-filled, and an overall fabulous place for a large group. Check-in and check-out were a breeze, the house was clean when we arrived and being cleaned again as we left, and Eugene was responsive when we had questions. We’d happily rent this place again.
