We wanted to get out of the city and do some nature sightseeing, hiking and biking. Accomplished all that and more. Perfect location to base your Pocono stay and move about from there.
Property is very secluded and when it’s dark... it’s dark. Exterior lighting is lacking big time, no deck rail lights to enjoy deck at night, and there are solar driveway lights but few if any work when on approach at night. Lightning outside was a complete bummer because if you didn’t make it down to the fire pit before sunset, very little chance of heading there after dark. I also had to put our headlights and takedown lights on my vehicle to illuminate the area just to walk our small dog after dark. Grill wasn’t the cleanest either so we did not use.
Never got an answer what to do with our interior trash as in where it goes outside. We ended up keeping trash inside until departure day. We twice had to fix, relocate and clean the driveway entrance of toppled trash cans and strewn bags that block access courtesy of what I can only assume to be bears. Not really what we wanted to be doing after long days out but if we didn’t we couldn’t get up the drive. Maybe an instruction or “what to do if” list in property is needed.
Interior was nice, well appointed and roomy. We did have a mouse running around one night but hey we were literally in a Forrest so I’m sure that happens often. All appliances work well. The kitchen sink and faucet area definitely need updating Sink is chipping of porcelain and the faucet is coming apart.
Owner was very responsive leading up to our trip and actual day of... He was a good source of information. And, it was appreciated.
Rated of 4 overall. Jake is really nice, it’s a great location, but I really wanted to enjoy more of the exterior deck and fire pit at night and with very insufficient lighting...it just wasn’t possible.
We will return however and hope these issues have been addressed. Thank you it was a great week.
