This VRBO rental is fantastic and Jake, the host, was easy to communicate with and very responsive. The home is beautiful and spacious. The dining room table expands to fit a small army! The kitchen was well stocked with all the cooking equipment one could possibly want, and there was plenty of plates, bowls and silverware to accommodate a large group. We appreciated the extra full size fridge/freezer in the garage, to minimize the trips into town for groceries. Also, the hot tub was glorious after a long hike, and we enjoyed the fire pit most every night. WiFi worked well for those of us who needed to communicate with our office, and WiFi calling on our mobile phones was very clear with a strong signal. Overall, a wonderful experience with this VRBO rental! Highly recommended!

Great Family Weekend Trip
Every year our family of 16 tries to spend several days together enjoying each others company. This year we went to this property in East Waterford and loved the property and all of its amenities. From the pool table and ping pong table, to the fire pit, swing and rocking chairs on the porches, to the hot tub and sauna, everyone found something to do that was fun and relaxing. The kitchen was well stocked, the beds comfortable and the manager and housekeeper went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with others!

The Perfect Getaway!
This was such a great spot for our family vacation. Our group of 11 had such a relaxing, amenity-filled, and spacious getaway! The host, Jake, really went above and beyond with his communication throughout the weekend.The attention to detail with the decoration, furniture, and stocked kitchen, really made our stay extra relaxing. So many places to hang out, lots of chairs couches and tables to puzzle and game!The hot tub and sauna were excellent spaces to unwind and the garage game room was perfect for those who stayed up a bit later than the rest!Can’t recommend this place enough!

Fantastic Home for a Weekend Escape
This home was truly the long weekend getaway of my dreams. It has all the coziness of a cabin weekend with modern amenities including a hot tub and sauna. The house was spacious and clean, had enough room for 6 couples to all have private spaces (with room to spare!) and large "family" dinners, and lots of tucked away spaces for relaxation (for example, we used one loft TV room for football watching and the downstairs TV family room for a nice movie night, plus don't forget the ping pong table in the detached garage and the amazing firepit!). It snowed while we were there and Jake, the host, did a phenomenal job communicating with us and making sure that someone came out to clear the driveway so we could safely head out on check out day. In short, it was perfection and I am so grateful to have had such a wonderful place to getaway with friends. My heart is so full and I am so thankful!

PSU Weekend Getaway
Jake, the property host, was a pleasure to work with on any and all details of the house for the weekend getaway our group of friends that were in the area for the PSU - OSU game. The house was exactly as described, and the reviews are spot on! Spacious, clean, and everything you and guests could need. We have already talked about planning another trip to stay here in the future. Highly recommended!
