Rita and John,
We really enjoyed renting your house. We came up from Jersey. We brought our
Yorkies and they loved it too! We really enjoyed the Hot Tub and snuggling by
the Fire. It was a great weekend to just relax although the first nigh we had a
blackout from the storm it was kinda cool. It's something to always remember.
We are really hoping to come back this summer. Thanks again! Marc, Kate,
Buddy and P~Nut.

Dear John & Rita,
Our family enjoyed our stay here immensely! You have made this a great
place for both indoor and outdoor fun. We had a wonderful 4th of July! We
have never seen such an incredibly clean and clear lake!
We learned that the best place to fish from the shore was the concrete dock
by
the dam between 7 and 9 PM to catch trout using wax worms and miniature
marshmallows to make it float.
It was a quiet, restful place to make wonderful family memories.

We really enjoyed our Anniversary vacation at your home. Sorry we called you
so much but we just didn't know how to work the TV and Hot Tub. Carlo
enjoyed the Super Bowl... earlier we went cross country skiing in the
Lackawanna Forest
(Snowmobile Trails) and no one ran us over! We came back here and enjoyed
Chili, Nachos etc.. Our 35th Anniversary Monday we went hiking up Steep
Pinchot Trail system with our doggies. It was really nice!
We loved Wegmans food store and later that night enjoyed a fabulous snow
storm, what a gift. The fireplace was great, we love a good fire. We had a
great time! Best Wishes!

Dear Rita and John,
Thank you so much for letting us use your house. We had a great weekend full
of lots of skiing and watching football games (Go Steelers).
We really appreciated staying here, our group is from the Naval academy, so the
comfort of your home and the ability to simply relax was wonderful. We would
certainly do it again. We wish you and your family the best. Happy New Year!
Much thanks, The Naval Academy Crew.

Rita & John,
My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our stay! We are visiting from the Jersey
shore and coming up here to the mountains is such an awesome time. We
found your place on VRBO. You guys made the trip easy and very affordable.
We talked to you and a lot of different renters and you by far were the kindest
and really interacted with us before renting your home.
While we were here we went skiing at Camelback (Awesome mountain). The
weather was cold 29 to 32 degrees. It snowed a few days! Loved it! We
definitely want to visit here again and maybe in the summer this time so we
can enjoy the beautiful lake. See ya soon! Nicole B. and Phil V.

John & Rita,
We loved your house!! When we arrived we were so happy to see all the
snow!!
The views & scenery were so beautiful. Most of all we loved bringing our
dogs.
This is our first, but not our last pet friendly vacation we have been on. We
enjoyed walking the dogs along West Ave. The kids loved the Pool Table too.
The fireplace was very enjoyable. We hope to make it back this summer &
enjoy the activities then too. It was definitely nice to relax, do nothing & be
away from our hectic lives. Thank you so much for sharing your house with
us.

DEAR JOHN & RITA,
WHAT MORE CAN I SAY THAT HASN'T ALREADY BEEN SAID ABOUT THIS HOUSE. WE LOVED THE HOUSE THE MINUTE WE ENTERED IT. THE LAYOUT IS PERFECT FOR US. THE UPSTAIRS BATHROOM IS VERY SPACIOUS. THE GAME ROOM IS SPECTACULAR. WE SPENT HOURS UPSTAIRS PLAYING POOL AND AIR HOCKEY PLUS THE OTHER GAMES THAT WERE THERE. THE LAKE IS BEAUTIFUL ALSO. WE WENT OUT ON THE BOAT MANY TIMES AND LOVED IT. WE ARE NOT INTO FISHING BUT WE SAW ALL OF THE DIFFERENT FISH IN THE LAKE. I'M THINKING OF BUYING A HOUSE UP THERE WHEN I RETIRE IN 4 1/2 YEARS. YOUR KITCHEN WAS FULLY STOCKED JUST LIKE YOU SAID. EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT. WE DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE SUNDAY MORNING BUT WE DID WITH MANY PICTURES AND MANY WONDERFUL MEMORIES THAT WILL LAST A LIFETIME. WE WANT TO COME BACK NEXT AUGUST AND MAKE THIS A YEARLY TRADITION IF ITS OK WITH YOU. TAKE CARE, TALK TO SOON, RICK ROGGIO |

Gorgeous! This is the best description that I can give for this
beautiful, Lakefront house that has everything. The house is
definitely the nicest that we have ever stayed in. The Marble &
Ceramic tile Baths are gorgeous. The bedrooms are very
comfortable, The Game Room & Hot Tub are another added plus
for having so much for such reasonable prices. This is by far the
most Luxurious home for the best value we have ever stayed in.
We have become regulars at the Bear Creek house returning 2 to
3 times every year. It has become "Our Favorite Spot." John & Rita
always make our transaction a very pleasant one and we will
definitely be back in the summer.

John & Rita,
Where do we begin, the Location "Awesome", The house was wonderfully
comfortable, clean and inviting. The Lake was directly right outside the door
and the view was breathtaking! The bathrooms are especially gorgeous. John's
Tile Work is outstanding especially the shower on the first floor.
We especially love the fact that there are no homes on the other side of the
lake which made for a lovely view looking out the picture window. We took
the boats out and caught a few fish. The water is crystal clear and we really
enjoyed preparing our meals in your beautiful well equipped kitchen, we were
delighted to see that you even supplied a Crock Pot! We would highly
recommend this rental. It is outstanding, thank you so much.

Your house was more than we ever expected. We appreciated your
anticipation of our arrival. We enjoyed everything you offered to us. We had a
ton of fun with the pool table but the girls would not let us enjoy the Poker
Table. Your location to the mountain was convenient and we took full
advantage of it. We went snowboarding everyday we were here.
Your even have the hidden treasure of the Outlet Stores! The girls went
shopping there one day and found many great deals. Despite our short stay
at your extrordinary house we had memories that will last a lifetime. Thank
you very much for opening up your home to us and we hope that we can
return soon!

Dear John & Rita,
What a great house! After traveling 3000 miles from San Francisco, Ca. it was
so nice to walk into a cozy warm home! The kids and my hubby have spent
countless hours in the game room. I believe they had an olympic air hockey
tournament.
Myself, I enjoyed cooking in your lovely kitchen. Although it has been a bit
windy, the sun has been shining so we ventured out on the lake with the
canoe. What a blast! We also took advantage of the Hot Tub. The girls loved
this the most (we have 3).
Thank you very much for opening your home to us. We truly enjoyed
everything! Janie, Jamie, Danyelle, Christie, Marissa & Ted.

| This is a great rental! Rita and John were very responsive and provide all information we needed prior to our trip. Upon arrival the house was spotless and the hot tub was toasty. Unfortuantely we had near-constant rain one day. But there were so many fun activities inside - billiards, air hockey, poker, movies, video games, relaxing by the wood stove and of course the hot tub - that we had a great time despite the April showers. The kitchen is very well stocked with utensils, pots/pans, etc. so there is really no need to eat out. We had 6 adults and 3 infants staying but the house still felt spacious. Thanks for sharing your place. Can't wait to visit again! |

Thank you very much for opening up your home for us. Your home is lovely &
very friendly. You have made it perfect with the decor & the furnishings &
kitchen supplies. It is very clean and your choices of the flooring and tiling
assure the cleanliness. We visited many State Parks in the area and enjoyed
the fresh air and relaxing at "Home", with the Pool Table, Treadmill and Hot
Tub.
Thank you mostly for opening your home up to Pets. We enjoy bringing our
dog so much as she enjoys coming. Pet owners do appreciate it! We hope to
come back sometime and try out the fishing.

What a relaxing spot on a beautiful lake. Your home was warm and welcoming.
Between trips to the Hot Tub, we enjoyed the Pool Table, Air Hockey, and the
bedrooms. We even had a blowing snow storm on Saturday. We stayed warm and
comfortable by the fire. Steaks on the grill one night.... delicious thanks to the
men cooking a real "treat" for the girls. Had a scrabble battle but we won't give
away the outcome. We even got in our workouts on the Treadmill, great idea to
have one here! We would love to return for another restful weekend. Thank you!

Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home. We enjoyed the Pool
Table and game room. Our husbands enjoyed it a little too much- until 3:00
A.M. The view from the house was breathtaking. The Hot Tub was especially
enjoyable, we could have stayed in it all day.
The house was very clean and safe for baby Kyle (1 year old). We will definitely
be back.

| This house was absolutely immaculate!!!! It was extremely clean and ready for our stay upon arrival. The kitchen was fully equipped with all cooking utensils and pots and pans. The game room was a huge hit on our stay especially the poker table for the guys. Each room had its own unique identity. The view of the pond is extrodinary!!! The pond is only a few steps from the back door. The house is also very close to the mountains for skiing or snowboarding. Also, there are outlets which were a nice surprise to myself and the other 2 girls on the trip. I would definately rent from John and Rita again and look forward to doing so. |

Your home was great. Our family truly enjoyed all you have to offer. It almost
seems like 4 days just isn't enough. Maybe next time we'll do a week. We had
many hours of fun with the pool table & just sitting by the fire. Thank you so
much! P.S.- The doggie's loved it also!

I am a real estate investor, developer and agent in N.J. This house
is more than we expected. Not only is it a tremendous value but
the home was immaculate. Not something you expect in a rental.
This place far exceeded our expectations! From all the cutlery,
spices, pots, mixxer and all the amenities in theis house you make
it feel like a home. I'd venture to guess that you are a perfectionist
an own many homes like this. You have a wonderful product here.
We look forward to visiting your property again in the near future.
Thank you again for providing a fantastic product and service.

What a marvelous vacation we had!! A fabulous time was
had by all, but none enjoyed themselves more than our dog,
Andra. She spent countless hours swimming in the lake and
running in the beautiful weather.
Your house is absolutely lovely and incredibly
comfortable. We enjoyed many days fishing on the boat and
many evenings grilling and relaxing by the outdoor
fireplace. We can't wait to come visit again soon!

Warm days and cool nights.....How perfect could the weather
be! What a wonderful way to end the long Hot Summer. We
enjoyed the house and lake. What a wonderful place to
relax! I especially enjoyed the Hot Tub....A perfect remedy
to healing my back I hurt before coming here.
The house is wonderful and set up perfectly with lots of
room and wonderful furnishings. We enjoyed your lovely
house, John and Rita, and would love to return.
John I especially appreciate your work here. You do good
work with good materials and it is noted. We are leaving a
little red teapot and a bottle of wine. One is for
immediate gratification--the other to linger a while and
remind you of us when it whistles!

We were guests of John and Rita for the week 8/7-8/14,
2005...not only did they provide us with a fantastic,
comfortable and spotless home to rent, beautiful vista of a
lovely lake and surrounding woodlands, and a super "game"
area where not only my grandson, but all of my grown-up
sons took advantage of the pool table, air hockey and
treadmill, and some rousing dart competitions.
The days were beautiful and hot, however, with the air
conditioning we were always able to go inside and cool off.
Also, if we had sore muscles from rowing the canoe, the hot
tub was fantastic in the evening.
The kitchen was well stocked with everything one would need
for gourmet meals, if that's what you want to fix, or just
plain "good old home cooking".
All in a super great vacation spot...wonderful hosts and
God willing, we'll be back.

Your house on the lake is wonderful. We felt right at home.
Every room has it's own personality. The game room is
great. The canoe came in handy and all total we caught
clost to 100 fish, perch, shiner and blue gills and 1 bass,
large mouth 14", the record for the week. We traveled all
the way from Austin Texas and the weather was perfect.
Watching the meteors from the HOt Tub is cool too!
