Had a great time at the property. Lots of fun time and lots of laugh was a great time to go there. Only wish that the pond was a little cleaner, it was very hard to fish which was one of the reasons we picked the spot but we had fun without it.

Better than Expected
This house was perfect for a weekend gathering of friends. It is very spacious and perfect for a larger group. The open kitchen & dining room were great for a big group breakfast. The outdoor areas were even better than expected - spacious deck with plenty of seating and a lot of space in the yard for games. The boats were a great addition & a lot of fun. The game room downstairs was also great for late night hangs. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend
We were a group of parents, 2 older teens, and grandparents. First, the house was the cleanest vacation rental I have ever stayed in! Lots of extras like toothbrushes/paste, paper towels, napkins, dish detergent, ect. Beds were comfortable and lots of extra options if you had more people ( we did not use these). The game room had lots of fun activities for a rainy day or Netflix options on the TVs in the house. We enjoyed using the Kayaks and fished ( no luck catching anything ). Tons of nature around ( one morning on a walk my husband counted 29 deer ) and we enjoyed making smores one night at the fire pit. We had great communication with the host and she answered any questions we had in a timely manner. The only thing I would point out to someone considering renting here, is you can hear the highway when you are outside, which takes away from the nature ambiance. But I would not let that deter you, if you want a house with lots of sleep options, super clean, fun game room and outdoor options, and centrally located to lots of hiking/ outdoor experiences. I would highly recommend this vacation home.

Is this a hotel?!
From the moment we arrived our group was pretty stoked! The house smelled clean, everything WAS SPOTLESS, the view was perfect. All of the little things that Valentina adds to the house just made it feel like we were staying at a hotel instead of a rental home...from the makeup towels, toiletries just in case you forgot something, to providing towels and sheets so we didn't have to lug that from home. The house was decorated so nicely with everything matching and the rooms flowing nicely from one to the next. The kitchen was stocked with everything we would need plus some. The game room provided A LOT of fun for all of us (12 years old through mid-50s)! The peddleboat and canoe were a hit and provided hours of entertainment plus the stocked pond was a hit for our fishermen! The ONLY downside of the property was the constant hum of the tractor trailers on the highway. When I think of Poconos I imagine peace and quiet but that wasn't always the case. No biggie though because we won't let that stop us from coming back in the fall. Jim Thorpe was about 20-30 minutes away, a few golf courses to choose from, Camelback Mountain was maybe 20 minutes, and Blue Mountain was about 45 minutes so we had many locations to visit. Last note-Valentina was a great host! Her communication from the start was fantastic and continued even after we left. We've rented about 6-7 VBRO and Air BNB houses and this was by far the best experience. I would highly recommend this house.

Very nice and clean place in the back woods on the lake. Our must have were the fire pit, lake access and the game room which all were used at it's maximum :) One of the guys, even while fishing, caught a 21" pike! Also there is a lot of room for sleeping. Again very nice, clean place highly recommended! Thank you for having us over. Mike ;)

Great Stay at Emerald Lake House
My husband, Lou, and our grandson, Luca, had a wonderful time at this beautiful and so comfortably decorated home. The house has a great flow for entertaining and relaxing. The views of the lake are spectacular - serene and so peaceful. The hosts have thought of everything as far as your inside and outside needs. The kitchen is equipped soup to nuts with everything you could possibly need. Outside there’s a deck, comfy couches for lounging, a grill to bbq, tables for dining, a fire pit, peddle boat and a canoe for cruising the lake. Every bathroom is equipped with shampoo, bath soap and towels (we forgot our tooth brushes, thankfully toothpaste and toothbrushes provided by the host, so thoughtful!!). The primary bedroom king size bed made for an amazingly restful night. The other three bedrooms are beautifully appointed and inviting. The bonus two car garage converted to game room is so much fun, equipped with pool table, dart board, corn hole, foosball table, TV, Xbox and the board games kept us content and busy. We loved the indoor pool, basketball, tennis court and playground and there is also a bar and grill at this community center with great food and cocktails. So much to do and enjoy. We loved our stay here and will definitely come back. October for the fall foliage will be beautiful and then again in Jan/Feb for the ski season and winter activities. Thank you Valentina and John❤️. We couldn’t have asked for more on this memorable vacation.

Wonderful Vacation home for families
The house was absolutely beautiful and completely updated! We had 3 families (5 adults and 5 children). and their was more then enough room for all of us. The house was decorated beautifully and all the appliances were completely updated. The kids (and big kids...lol). utilized the fully stocked game room throughout are stay. The back yard was are favorite part of the house the view was absolutely gorgeous and the kids loved going on the 3 person paddle boats. The location was perfect as we were close to so many fun activities but far enough away that we were able to enjoy the peace and serenity of the lake. The owner of the home, Valentina, was also a joy to deal with. She was incredibly responsive and answered questions almost immediately. We definitely would recommend this listing and will definitely book in the future!!

Family Fun - Fishing, Lake Sports, Game Room and S’mores
The home was beautifully appointed. We enjoyed direct access to the lake paddle boating and canoeing. We fished from the dock and watched the turtles nibble our bait even if a neighbor hauled in a few large mouth bass. The lake was lovely with flowering lily pads and sea grass. The game room was just right, and now has newly named champions in pool, darts, and foosball. We also enjoyed delicious ice cream at Tutrone’s, roasting S’mores, and a challenging mountain and waterfall hike at Mt. Tammany. Afterwards we truly collapsed on the most comfortable couches, hammock, and deck furniture. We are looking forward to a future visit.
