We stayed in this rental Jan 16-19. The house was roomy and clean, easy to find and the driveway allowed for plenty of room for four cars. We skied Camelback and the resort was very close. The hot tub was awesome after a long day of sking. I would definitley reccomend this to groups. This was the only property on VRBO that I could find that had all king beds.

We had a wonderful White Christmas! We loved feeding the deer in the morning
and the evening. We found they like dried fruit and nuts. Spent Christmas eve at
Camelback & Christmas night at Big Boulder Snow Boarding. Went tubing on the
26th had a blast but long lines since it's a Holiday Week. Camelback is the Best
place for Snow Tubing for the whole family! We came all the way from Texas!
It was a nice visit and we'll miss the deer!!

We had an awesome time at the house! It was very comfortable, plenty of
room and plenty of things to do. We definitely want to come back in the
summer and again in the winter.
We had the deer visit us every morning, they really like brownies, but they're
not big fans of popcorn.
LuLu ate straight out of our hands!
We relaxed a good amount, a lot of it in the hot tub which was Awesome!
The big kitchen table was a plus and also the Big Beds.
We did a good amount of shopping at the Outlet stores & went tubing one
night. Thanks for everything!

John and Rita,

Thanks so much for yet another memorable year. We look forward to renting your homes year after year and each has been an absolute fall treat.

This was the first year that we decided to stay and extra day to enjoy more of what your homes have to offer, and we're certainly glad that we did. We made full use out of everything that your rental had to offer: kitchen, pool table, air hockey, porch, hot tub, and more. It's our pleasure to count ourselves some of your regulars year after year.

Until next year,
Greg, Tammy, Tammi, Denise, and April

John & Rita,
Found your wonderful stop on the web! We really feel lucky.
The weather has been beyond great, (temps in the 80's on Saturday).
Guys went fishing and caught more fish than all of our 20 years coming to the
Poconos over Columbus Day Weekend!
Hoping to come back next year same time, same place!

Dear Rita & John,
This was a great family vacation. Three generations of foxes. My son and
grandson enjoyed the fishing. The pool table got a lot of use. We ere able to
get some golf in.
The girls had a great day shopping at the Crossing's Outlet Stores. A fun day
was had at Camelbeach.
Thursday it rained but we went to Holly Ross Potter. The boys stayed at the
house & enjoyed playing pool and fishing in between the rain. Your game
room is Great! so much to do! We truly enjoyed your house. It brought back
memories of the good times we had when my children were young & we had
a house in Wild Acres, Pa. My grandchildren are already asking about renting
next summer.
We enjoyed your Paddle Boat, going around the lake. The layout of the house
was perfect for our family.
LuLu the deer, has been well fed. She and several other deer came every
morning and evening. She eats right out of your hand & loves bread.
Had a wonderful time, Thanks, The foxes.

We heard about this house from VRBO. It was raining when we arrived and
stopped as we were unpacking. The rest of the week was beautiful. It only
rained for about and hour on Thursday.
We went to Camel Beach Water Park on tuesday and Whitewater Rafting on
Wednesday. Thursday we visited our uncle who lives nearby in Arrowhead
Lakes. In between the running around we went out on the boats. We didn't
have much luck fishing until we took someone else's advise who wrote about
fishing to the left of the island. Our last night we did this for a short while
and caught a perch, bluegill and small mouth bass. We had alot of bites too.
We went to the beach at Emerald Lakes too, it was very nice and relaxing. We
also had a few fires and played games. I think we did a little bit of everything
at the house- played pool, poker, jacuzzi, etc..
John & Rita- The house is beautiful. You do a great job keeping it in tip top
shape. I know it must be hard with all the people who visit. We were very
comfortable. This was the best house we stayed at by far. You keep it very
clean and the beds were great! We hope to come back again~

Dear John & Rita ~
Great House!! A bit woodsy for a girl from the city! HaHaHa only kidding. It
was a treat for my boys to see deer so close! They called LuLu and were
convinced she responded! Very Cute!
First day went fishing in paddle boat, caught one small fish, but had a great
time anyway. Well, that was the first day. It's day 4 and boy the deer are
plentiful. Today we were visited by 8 at one time. 4 does, 1 buck and 3 fawns.
My 9 yr. old was thrilled and got some great photos.
The lake and the boats are a hit! Yesterday we went to Camelbeach & had a
blast.
Today we went to S&S Speedway it was a bit pricey but my 13 yr. old had a
blast. Great pizza down that end. Tony's pizza (right by the old train tracks a
bit passed Walmart in Stroudsburg, really really good pizza, and were from
NY hahaha! Came home and enjoyed the Hot Tub. Last day went to Perkins
form Breakfast. We plan on going into the lake again, it is an absolutely
beautiful day. My kids are begging to stay and come back next year. Thanks
again~

As we came about 6:00 PM it bagan to get quite foggy and we couldn't see
anything ahead of us, so it was quite scary. The men went to get some
shopping done, but they thought we were never leaving the house and
bought out almost the whole grocery store! They got LOST on the way there
and back due to the fog! The next morning was beautiful and we returned out
to see all the fall foliage & it was spectacular!
We visited Sorrenti Family Vineyard and we loved it!
Picked Pumpkins, carved it and bought fishing gear and bait!
The young boy enjoyed the Peddle Boat and they had so much fun.
We ate grapes from the Vineyard! WOW!
Everyone got alot of use from the Game Room. It is great! Thank you! We
relaxed and laughed with a couple of movies.
We roasted marshmallows by the lake. It was the first time we really ever
experienced Fall in full bloom!
We took this trip as a celebration for my 40th birthday & we visited D.C, NYC,
& ended our trip here. I experienced many things that I have never done
before, that was my dream and it became a reality. Great Laughs, house,
weather, Lake, Comforts, Scenery, & Accomodations!
Being from Miami this was truly a relaxing getaway for us which is what we
were looking for. It was like being in another world....
Cheesecake factory is delicious! The Beds are the Bomb! Thanks!

We had a wonderful time at the Lake with a campfire every night. Of course,
LuLu and her clan were the big hit of the visit.
No one fished but I did feed some of the fish that were in the Lake!
Only problem was that we didn't have time to do everything we wanted to do......

We had rain off and on throughout our stay but Sunday was really nice!
We got the boat out (surprisingly easy), and had great fishing.
We caught over 2 dozen fish in about 3 hours! We had small mouth bass and
another longer skinny fish with stripes on it's sides. We used night crawlers
and were getting hits as soon as we cast. Our spot was.... over to the left of
the Island mid way between the beach and persons dock.
We hiked the community and saw many deer. LuLu greeted us the first day.
The Kitchen is well stocked with Pots, Pans, etc.... and that is a big plus for
consideration coming with family.
We had a great time, the house is beautiful! You just may have found repeat
customers!
Mike & Deanne
P.S.- Got the boat out again today before we left. Less fish this time but
bigger!

John & Rita~ Thank you for a memorable vacation. Your home is so inviting
and comfortable with so much to do. We spent hours in the Game Room
playing Pool, Air Hockey, Darts, Playstation, and the guys played Poker. The
kids enjoyed the Indoor Pool and of course roasting "Smores in the Lakeside
Firepit". We enjoyed fishing and swimming in the lake. Your home is so clean
and modern and has every amenity you can want without leaving the house.
We ventured to the Crossings and found some great bargains. We will be back
again next year!

We had a great time staying here at the house! We saw this one deer every
morning that finally ate out of our hands, we named her LuLu. We also had a
great time going out on the boats fishing.
We had fun playing in the game room and lighting fires in the fireplace and
down by the Lake.

P.S.~ The next people that come here please feed LuLu for us. (Although feeding
the deer is not recommended). Thank you so much, John and Rita

The weather was perfect this week, the
only rain we had was at midnight Sunday.
Monday- Fished all day with no luck!
Tuesday- Pocono Whitewater Rafting- Great Time!
Wednesday-Mtn. biking
Thursday- Mtn. Biking in Tobyhanna, hilly but easier path.
Friday-Outlets! Fun! But be cautious, not a lot of bargains.
We finished everyday in Pinetree Lake. finally got out in Pinetree this morning
early enough to catch 4 Pickerel using Lure number 12 Vibrex Minnow at K-
Mart in
the Cove to the Left.
We saw deer every morning between 6 and 8 AM. Even got within 8 ft. feeding
them bread. Probably not recommended.
The accomodations at the house are terrific! John & Rita are great! We loved
our stay!

You both did a beautiful job on the house! We had a nice family vacation &
enjoyed ourselves. Friday was not all that great because of the rain. We had an
easy time putting the Boat in the water. The boys all enjoyed the bass fising &
boating.
We saw many deer and they even came up to the steps.
Have a great summer.

The house was great! We were greeted our first day by LuLu. Her favorite is Utz
Party Mix! We fished, and boated, went bowling, played paintball, shooting and
hit a few golf balls even in the rain.
Come Wednesday night it was beautiful. We had a fire w/marshmallows and
fished well into the night. We got over 100 fish total all week! God gave us the
rain but he also gave us fish. The deer running through all the time was great!
Thanks again!
