Best place to be snowed in

This was a perfect retreat. Access easy to Shenandoah NP and Shenandoah River SP. We chose the property based on the promised view and were not disappointed! Sunrise was phenomenal as was watching the snowstorm come over the mountain... You look out over a pasture toward the Stony Man area of Shenandoah mtns in the distance. Closer to, the birdfeeders kept the yard view lively. The home is completely unique, cozy, and clearly made with a lot of care and modern taste. Giovannella was helpful, welcoming and well prepared.

The Little Cozy House is just that...

Super cozy with a great atmosphere. The fire pit was really nice and the solar powered outdoor lights around the property were just magical. We saw deer and hummingbirds as well which was wonderful. It was only abot a 6 minutes walk to the lake as well which was great. Overall, it was a wonderful time! Highly recommend!

Relaxing Retreat

The Little House was the perfect retreat for some much needed rest and relaxation. It was dog friendly with a great backyard and awesome screened porch. It is also close to great trails to hike and located in a safe gated community. Giovannella was a great host , very thorough, welcoming , and attentive. The care and love for the Little House can be felt all around.

Wonderful Little House!

So many reasons to say this Little House made our stay! Adorable and cozy, this house was perfect for the three of us to have some girl time. We were even gifted a bottle of wine! Thank you so much for everything. Plan to come back next year!

Cozy and comfortable getaway

We really enjoyed staying at the little house for our ski weekend. It was charming, quiet and comfortable. Giovanella was very accommodating and always quick to respond. She made sure that we felt welcome and comfortable. The house was just the retreat we needed after long days skiing and hiking nearby. We loved cozying up with homemade meals and a fireplace each night. We’d highly recommend this place.

We really enjoyed the little house!

Me and my husband celebrated our anniversary in the little house. It's a very romantic place and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. We planned to go out for a dinner first, but then decided to appreciate the beauty of nature and the birds singing on the backyard. The house is comfortable, clean and close to the lake, located on a very quiet street... And it smells good inside)) Thank you Giovanella, we will be back again!

Fabulous Find

Gianella's home is beautiful. It checked all of the boxes for us. I would not hesitate to stay there again. Our family is actually trying to decide when we should come down again. She was a very sweet and attentive host. She made sure we had everything we needed. The cherry on the top was the view and that bottle of wine she left welcoming us. Thank you Gianella!

Relaxing and enjoyable getaway

We stayed at the little house for a two day getaway and despite the rain we had an awesome, relaxing and stress free trip. The house is not just a house...Giovannella made it a home. It is cozy, warm and inviting. EVERYTHING you could possibly need is there waiting. It rained the whole trip and we weren't able to enjoy the beautifully set up outdoor amenities but we will when we return for our next stay here!! Thank you Giovannella for a great country experience!!

Girls Get-A-Way

The Little Cozy House was perfect for my sister, my mother and I. We wanted to get away to relax and reconnect and we enjoyed a comfortable week. Giovanella was an excellent host, checking in on us to see if we needed anything and to make sure that everything was ok. We had a couple of rainy days so we didn't get to explore and enjoy outdoor activities but the Little Cozy House provided us with plenty of room to enjoy movies, games and great conversation.

I love this house so much we came back!!

We stayed here last year and absolutely loved our experience we came back! Giovannella (the owner) has supreme hosting skills and is communicative throughout the whole experience! It rained most of the time we were there but that was ok! The screened in porch provided many activities we were still able to do outside. If your looking to unwind and relax, this is the place! Giovannella provides practically everything, as well as a positive upbeat attitude! Of course we will be coming back!

Lovely!

Me and my family decided to spend the holidays out of the city. As soon as I found the little house in the website, I felt this was the right place. Giovanella is the best host I ever had when renting a place. She always answered my questions, give me all the information and instructions clearly, left us a delicious bottle of wine, and even accommodated my grandmother at the last minute without any problem. The house is so warm and cozy! Definitely we’re going back!

The Little House with Big Charm!

It was just us two and our little corgi and the house was the perfect size! So warm, cozy, and inviting. The owner, Giovannella, was an absolute delight to talk to and very helpful. The screened in porch was one of the best features. We stayed when the weather was very rainy but with the screened in porch we could still have fun outside. Very clean and had everything you could need! We live in a city and kricket ( our dog) loved running around without a lease. We cant say enough good things about the little house, we will be back for sure!

Long weekend getaway

We stayed at the Little House for a long weekend. My husband and I own a dog walking business and also hold 2 full time jobs. Needless to say, we needed a break! This house was the perfect relaxing weekend getaway we needed! The owner, Giovannella, is the most WONDERFUL person to correspond with. She wrote back immediately and answered my questions with kindness and consideration. She made our stay a memorable one and we will be back! Thank you Giovannella <3

Pocono Getaway

This is our second visit to this wonderful home. We enjoyed our stay both times! The home is inviting, clean, cozy, a short walk to the the lake, and very relaxing. If I could give the host Giovannella 10 stars I would. She is by far the most genuinely kind and caring person we know! She checked in daily to see if we were enjoying our stay and if we needed anything. She even asked if we wanted to stay beyond the normal check out time. We will be back, for sure! Thank you Giovannella from the bottom of our hearts! Cathy, Anthony and Teddy

Peaceful & comfortable, and a porch swing!

Arrowhead lake itself is quite lovely, and our stay at this cabin was a wonderful break. Overall, the property is charming and has everything you need for a comfortable stay: full kitchen, dining room, etc. the WiFi worked well. The water pressure in the shower is better than what I have at home! The beds were very comfortable, and the neighborhood is quiet, so we slept really well. The furnishings are a bit dated, but everything was clean and functional. We especially enjoyed the fireplace in the living room… it adds to the cozy cabin feeling on those crisp fall evenings. There aren’t a ton of restaurants nearby, so we were glad for the full size appliances in the kitchen, and mostly prepared all our meals at the cabin. When the weather was nice, we opted to eat at the table on the screened-in porch so we could enjoy the fresh air. This cabin itself does not have water views, but is an easy walk to one of the beach areas, which has a small playground area, picnic tables, and a nice sandy beach. Giovanella is a thoughtful and attentive host, providing clear communication well ahead of check in, and again before checkout. She’s quick to respond to any inquiries and was helpful during our stay.

Great small place for a family or a couple

Great small place for a vacation. House sleeps 6, as long as 2 of them are either relatively young children, or else very friendly, because that 3rd bed is small. House is well equipped with dishes and utensils in the kitchen, owner even leaves some spices (limited, but covers the basics) and cooking oils and sprays, TV has cable, DVD player, and Amazon Fire Stick for entertainment. One note, the house comes with feather pillows, so if you have allergies, or just don't care for feather pillows, then you should bring your own. It was just me, my wife, and our dog, so there was plenty of room for us, but the house would probably feel a bit crowded with 6 people, although probably less so in the warmer seasons when you could hang out on the screened porch, which is a pretty good sized space, roughly 10 by 17 or 18. We enjoyed our long weekend there, and would definitely consider staying there again, possibly in the summer when the pools, beach, lake, etc are open, there are plenty of things to do in the summer months in the community. Location is near several state parks, outlet shopping, Jim Thorpe, Stroudsburg and Jack Frost/Big Boulder ski resorts, so plenty to do in the area outside the community as well. Owner communication was timely, and she always answered all our questions, she even left us a bottle of wine to enjoy while we were there, which was a nice touch, although I don't know if that is something she always does. There was also coffee in the house, so no need to bring any.

A well made home in the heart of Shenandoah Valley with a great host

My friends and I spent the weekend at this property. Giovannella has good taste and you can see it in every tiny detail about this property. She was extremely helpful with tips and information right from the time I made the booking. She was also very prompt with her responses every time I had questions or requests. We made great memories from our stay here. I highly recommend it. My only regret is not staying longer.

Cozy weekend

We had such a lovely time at the Little House! Our weekend away ended up being a little rainy, but even without being able to use the outdoor amenities it was perfect. Giovanella gave great suggestions for things to do in the area and we had a beautiful hike in Hickory Run State Park. Coming back to the adorable, cozy, and warm space after a cold rainy hike was just perfect! We spent our evenings with the fireplace on, sipping wine, playing games, and reading. Perfect place for a weekend retreat.
