Nestled within the trees, this home is ideal for families and friends looking for a peaceful place to host their next adventures! This home offers modern decor throughout and has been recently remodeled to provide total relaxation.

The fully-equipped kitchen boasts all stainless steel appliances and has everything needed to whip up your best recipes. There is the option of dining indoors or, weather permitting, outdoors. There is also a private gas grill for a summer backyard cookout. Challenge friends or family to one of the many activities in the basement area featuring a complete game room with a Ping-Pong table, foosball table, and an arcade game. There is also a wet bar area and a separate seating area with a large smart TV with streaming services if you prefer to watch some sports.

For a day of adventure, head to Gorilla Cove Treetop Adventures for some zip lining, miniature golf, or a ropes course. You can also experience the Kalahari Indoor Waterpark for a day of waterslides, a lazy river, and indoor/outdoor spas. For the more adventurous, take a hike to the Kalahari waterfalls. Travel just a few miles and bowl a few games at Summit Lanes. During the winter months, grab your skis and hit the slopes at Camelback Ski Resort.

Then, after a full day of your adventures, kick back on the cozy sofa and watch your favorite shows, or grab your beverage of choice and head to the deck for some fresh air and star gazing. If you are exhausted from all of the day's activities, turn on the outdoor hot tub and get ready for a bubbly time. Once you are done, head to one of the comfy bedrooms to melt the day away with a good night's sleep.

Great Stay -Small Quirk
The place was clean and neat! The house was also just beautiful inside. We had such a relaxed weekend. The only stressor was a small lack of things in the kitchen. The pots and pans were al very small which would have been great for one or two people. With six, this was not ideal. The coffee machine was a Keurig , which was great, just unexpected, so we had to run out and get some k-cups instead of the groupers we brought. Not a major problem. There were 4 k-cups there, but with a group of 6, that was hardly enough.

Underwhelming kitchen supplies & property
The kitchen had a dirty, scratched pot and pan, yes singular, dirty plastic wine glasses, no serving dishes and not even salt and pepper. There were 2 broken chairs on the deck. The outside property is unkept. We brought games and couldn’t even find a clear grassed area to set them up. We Could never communicate with owner, Vacasa was the only point of contact for questions and they had no answers and we’re not helpful

Comfortable house, good location to Kalahari
Overall, we enjoyed our stay for the week. We did not give it a 5 star (vs. our 4 star) as there were a few minor maintenance items and supplies missing. Kitchen cabinets need some attention, toilet seat in hall bathroom was missing a bolt, 2nd arcade game never worked, no remote for Master Bedroom TV, few coffee/glasses had chips. For kitchen, we would recommend measuring cups and spoons and baking items. We made due for one evening we hosted our family for dinner. We were in town watching our grandchildren compete for their Dance Nationals at Kalahari (3.5 miles away). It was quiet and comfortable for the two of us for the week.

Great for a girls weekend!
The arrival process and communication was great. The house was well stocked with towels, toiletries, toilet tissue, paper towels, dish soap, etc. towels for hot tub and laundry detergent were even provided. The kitchen could use a few added items to prepare meals. There was no baking pans or cookware for the oven of any kind. The beds were very comfortable. The water pressure was non existent but not a big deal for a short stay. Loved the open concept where we could all be together. We didn’t use the downstairs game room but there was a great photo op wall. This place would be great for a family with kids to give them a place to play! Nice back patio and hot tub too! Convenient location to Mount Pocono and Camelback. Overall a great stay!!!

It was very disappointing.
It was a beautiful place. When we arrived the cleaning lady wasn’t finished with her work. Master bedroom was soaked in febreeze linen spray. We had an allergic reaction on the first night. I had to throw the covers in the dryer, we had to sleep on a damp mattress. The dishwasher did not work. No one came to fix it. No one came from Friday December 29th to January 1st. The hot tub’s filter was not changed, we couldn’t use it. No ping pong balls for the ping pong table. The other game table did not work either. Remote for the TV was out of batteries, we had to run to the store to buy batteries. We payed so much for New Year’s Eve weekend and all the extra amenities. I will take further action to ensure other people don’t have to go through my experience.

Thanksgiving getaway
The house was just as expected from the pictures. The attention to details was great. A couple of small issues - the remote to the fireplace was not working even after a battery change. The access card to the garbage compactor was not left on the counter as the note stated. Other than that, everything was clean and comfortable.

Esthetics were beautiful but there was no turndown service
Beautiful property but customer service was nonexistence. We arrived and at the door outside, there were two overfilled trash cans with food all of the ground which was disappointing and gross. Upon entering the home, it appeared to look like the pictures until you really looked and saw the house was not freshly cleaned. The bedding had stains, the table and chairs were dusty and dirty, the grill was filthy and the outdoor had a leaves all over. We had to do a complete cleaning of the bedding in all the rooms in order to feel comfortable. I called the property owner multiple times and they responded. I showed multiple pictures and we communicated with each other but never showed up to clean the trash at the entrance the entire stay. When you pay so much money to stay at a property, you expect to stay at a clean home especially because of all the fees guest are charged but this was not the case. This was unacceptable and I wouldn’t recommend this home from this property owner based on the lack of customer service.

Great location, super clean, very spacious and comfy. A lot bigger then it looks from the outside. Everything maintained very well other then the fire pit area outside which just needs to be mowed and cleaned up a little. Would 100% recommend and stay again.

A Crickets Cottage
Stayed here for a winter vacation with our 2 adult sons. The house appeared to have been completely updated recently. The basement game room was a huge hit. Played ping pong, Foosball, used the 2 arcade systems and the large TV was awesome. There was a second equally large TV on first floor. The fire place is beautiful. The beds are very comfortable with lots of blankets. The hot tub on the back deck was also a hit, although it needs some better maintenance. Our only complaints are the kitchen doesn't have a lot of cooking utensils, there was no snow shovel(had to use a broom to clean snow off the deck) could use more wash cloths. Would definitely stay here again though. Close to Camelback, 380 and 80. Was in a quiet area. The property managent company was quick to respond to any questions.

Beautiful House
House is beautiful with a great location. Hot tub and entertainment area were perfect for our girls trip. The layout and decor were exceptional. Suggestion for house: need to stock the kitchen. There were no baking sheets, pans or dishes to use the oven. No mixer, whisk, blender, can opener, etc. House would have been 5 stars had we not had to go to walmart for items that should be essential kitchen supplies.

The property was beautiful and clean. The game room and hot tub were a big hit. The only issue we ran into was not having a card to dispose of trash. There were instructions on how to use the card and where to go, but no card was left. Otherwise, our family would love to stay here again!

Great space and location!
Really great house in a convenient location. Not skiers, but enjoyed snow tubing at Camelback just minutes away. The photos really do represent this property accurately! The beds were very comfortable, and everything is nice and new. Great job on the renovation. We did feel several things are missing from this beautiful kitchen. Plenty of plates and silverware, and bowls, but nothing that could go in the oven. No baking sheet or roasting pan to be found. No spatula for preparing our over the top breakfasts. The toaster oven is not being properly cleaned. The outdoor space is great. Beautiful big deck and the hot tub was super clean and hot! Unfortunately the outdoor grill was filthy when we went to grill some chicken wings, which was very disappointing. Barbecue sauce, a grill pan with bits of food, and way too much grease for us to clean. The downstairs space is absolutely great! Wet bar, ping pong table, 2 video games, card table and comfortable home theater area. And loved the 1/2 bath down there. Hope to come back in the summer to enjoy the amenities of Emerald Lake.

Great renovated property
Everything was very clean and it looked just as shown on online pictures. Modern decor and Everything apparead to be new. Great open functional space and flow. Hot tub was great and movie room too. Only negative for me was they had too many fees in addition to the daily rate, in my opinion somewhat excessive. I did not downloaded the vacasa app and perhaps that was the reason I did not get a quick response on a question during my stay. Overall, nothing to regret, Great rental home for family vacation for all ages
