Pennsylvania vacation rentals

Our trip to Gettysburg was wonderful, partially because of the wonderful Blue Coat Cottage we stayed in. So clean, homey, and welcoming you hate to leave it. Upon arrival, we found blueberry muffins on the table waiting for us, plus a snack bowl of goodies. Our hosts seemed to have thought of everything! The bedrooms and bathroom is upstairs, so it was nice at night to let my family go to bed, and I could stay up later downstairs without disturbing them. Blue Coat Cottage is in a country setting, so it’s quiet as well as beautiful. Those who are tall will need to be aware the ceiling fans are low, so you need to be careful; we managed pretty well because we are not on the tall side. I dealt with Lee Ann (the host), and she is amazing to work with! I’m so glad we found this cottage; my family agreed we would love to stay here again if we ever get to come back to Gettysburg!

Stop looking! This is the one you should book! The house: amazingly clean and everything is new. Just like the pictures. Game room, living room and kitchen are all open to each other. Kitchen is fully loaded with pots and pans, bakeware, spices, coffee, and more!!! Beds are supper comfortable with clean and new sheets!! Pillows are great with some soft and some firm depending on what you like. The whole house is decorated with attention to detail and color. Water pressure is great and bathrooms are supper clean. Towels are new, soft, clean and plenty. Laundry on site is a plus and machines work great! One bedroom on the main floor was perfect for my elderly parents so they didn’t have to climb stairs. Also, the kids loved hanging out in the down stairs bed room watching TV and taking naps! The outdoors: we really enjoyed fishing!!! Caught 8 catfish during our week stay. The creek on one side of the house was perfect for young kids to play in. The fire pit was great to keep us warm since we traveled in early April. But the cooler weather didn’t stop my son from ruining right into the creek and having a blast. The wildlife was beyond beautiful!! We fed swans, saw an eagle, tons of beautiful swallows, ducks, geese and deer. The owners have two boats in good condition. Perfect for exploring the lake. Grill and outdoor space is perfect for enjoying good weather and great company. The location: the house is great but incase you want to venture out you won’t need to go far. Plenty or resorts, water park, spa, golf, casino, and more just minutes from the house! Grocery stores like Weis and Shoprite, even a Walmart are just minutes from the house. Hosts were supper nice, flexible with our needs and very responsive! We all had a blast and will be coming back for sure!!

If you want the perfect family getaway and just a tiny bit of freedom from your kids, go to Wendy’s house. Seriously. First of all, the moment you arrive, the kids vanish into the game room and won’t call for you for about 2 hours. In that time, you’ll rediscover what fresh air and adult conversations feel like, all while lounging in the beautiful backyard. Just when the kids start getting bored, take a 3 minute walk to South Beach. Your kids will spend another 3 hours trying to catch tiny fish that are absolutely impossible to catch but it doesn’t matter because they’ll be way too busy splashing around in the water to care. You can even hop into a kayak and enjoy the water with them everybody wins. Then you can move to a nearby fishing spot, where you might spot a mama duck losing her mind because her ducklings won’t keep up. Wendy’s house is in a private community, so it felt super safe. Just like the other reviews say spotless, perfectly stocked, and truly has everything. 10/10!!!!!

We reserved Pocono Pines for a long weekend retreat and it did not disappoint— in fact it exceeded our expectations! We did not come to the Poconos for outdoor adventure, rather to reconnect with each other after a few challenging years. We sifted through many homes in the area on VRBO until we found this one that had all the amenities we desired: a hot tub; enough beds/bedrooms; room for lounging; a deck; a fire pit; a fireplace; and an aesthetic that would lift our spirits in the middle of winter. The house has so much light and love in it that we immediately relaxed and felt at home upon arrival. The kitchen had everything we needed to create the meals we planned to make, and the living and dining room had plenty of seating. The fireplace added ambiance and warmth while we drank our morning coffee, chatted, and read. The beds were comfortable and had plenty of space for unpacking. Everything was clean and I can’t say enough about how the decor and color palette made us so happy! The owners were very welcoming giving us all the information about the area we could ever want and made sure we knew they were available to help us if we had any questions. There was snowfall while we were there (adding to the magic of the large picture windows in the living room), and the owners were kind enough to promptly send a crew out to plow and shovel. To that point, we also appreciated that unlike some places that have “surprised” us in other rentals with loud mowing in the early morning, we were given a ‘head’s up’ of when the crew would arrive. All in all it was a beautiful, clean space with everything you could want! We can’t thank Whitney and Anthony enough and we hope to return again next year!

We enjoyed our stay at the lake house! We traveled with other adults and were later joined by our older kids. We loved being right on the lake and my husband was able to walk out and fish any time he wanted to. This allowed the ladies to float on the lake and relax or kayak over to the beach area and lay out in the sun or swim. We made frequent use of the game room and the hot tub. Each night we would sit outside after dinner and just relax and enjoy the view with some wine. The location of the house was within easy driving distance to many activities including wineries, distilleries, antique malls and restaurants. We spent Wednesday afternoon in Jim Thorpe. Unfortunately, we did not know that many of the shops are only open Thursday- Sunday even in the busy summer month of July. We still enjoyed the walk around the area and the local dining. Our Host, Ricky, was very friendly and thorough. There were a lot of items that were provided for us, which was very helpful. The rooms and beds were all very comfortable. He also listed a lot of recommendations of places to go and things to know about in the area. We would love to stay again!

This home caught our eye right away, with modern updates and a great location. All communication was fantastic, prompt and helpful throughout our stay. Whitney and Anthony were amazing. This was our first time to the Poconos during the summer and they had so many great recommendation to keep our 4 kids and us entertained. The photos are a true reflection of the home and property. It was very nice that the crested falcon had all preferred activities and vendor recommendation that made it very easy for us to get our agenda filled. Would definitely look to stay here again! Maybe for our winter trip :)

The place was beautiful! Well maintained and exceptionally clean, which was very important to us given the current CoVid-19 pandemic situation. Vanessa the property manager was great too. The sound of the creek and scenery were so nice and we enjoyed the surroundings. Great place to enjoy nature and unwind within the safety of a gated community. My sister and I traveled with my elderly mom and senior dog for a little family getaway. The only comment I would make just so that those considering booking this property are aware, is that the property is on an incline and has somewhat steep steps to access the lower deck and game room, and then more stairs down to the back yard and creek. So it was a bit difficult for my mom to go up and down from the main level; also, there is no bathroom at the lower level, so having to do the steps again to get back up was difficult for her. But there is screened porch on the main level which my mom was able to thoroughly enjoy and hear the creek which she loved! That was my only comment - I wished my mom could go down to close to the creek and enjoy it more often with less effort and difficulty, but if you are traveling with folks who have no mobility issues, this place is perfect! Also, keep an eye out for black bears. I had an encounter with a mama bear and her three cubs the morning of our departure. Fortunately I spotted them at a distance and my dog and I were able to get safely back to the house without incident. In a nutshell, I highly recommend this place!! We loved it. Due to CoVid-19 we didn't use any amenities in the gated community, but walked around the community lake and park areas which was very nice. There's generally lots to do!

Rikki and Brian made sure that our stay in their cabin was as comfortable as could be. There were plenty of towels, washcloths, pillows and bottles of drinking water (the cabin has a well) ready and waiting for us when we checked in. They even left a snack basket with a hand written welcome card for us! The posting was super accurate. The cabin was tidy and we felt immediately welcome, comfortable and at home. There are air conditioning units in the living room and master bedroom and also plenty of fans to keep a summer stay cool. Felt much more like a house than a fishing cabin. The location was also great for biking (there is a bike trail off of Fries Rd that takes you straight to the spillway and all the way into Linesville). The Manning boat launch was the opposite direction on Fries Rd and was also only a few minutes away by bike or car. The Tuttle beach area was closed, unfortunately. Overall, a fantastic stay. Will definitely consider booking again.
