We had a blast at this incredible property! We used all amenities - pool, hot tub, sports court, game room, theater room, etc. We also had some unexpected visitors right at the house - deer! Saturday night we had dinner reservations about 10 minutes away at Louie's Prime and it was wonderful. Would definitely return to the house and Louie's!

Better than a 5-star hotel

Our family reunion with my wife and I (grandparents), adult children, and grandchildren chose this vacation home because of all of the onsite activities. Our children commented that the home was better than staying at a 5star hotel. The home is minutes away from Hickory Run State Park, that included hiking on Boulder Field and swimming at the beach. Even with a few days of rain, we enjoyed the game room, movie theater, large kitchen and open living room space. The pool and fishing pond were also big hits. Thank you for sharing you home to provide us with a memorable family vacation.

Great long weekend

Seven adults and two dogs had a great stay here. There is a ton of space offering options for everyone. Really enjoyed all the natural light and the privacy of the property. Also had a lot of fun with the game room and the pickleball court! No notes, it was a great rental.

Girls weekend ( 40 years of friendship)

Beautiful house!!! Would love to stay here in the summer! We LOVED the theater room. It was too windy for an outdoor fire so we especially loved the indoor fireplace. Would definitely come back here in the future

I had an amazing time renting with Wander Home!

Everything was top-notch, from the amenities to the cleanliness of the home. It was in like new condition, very clean, and it was huge - the property was about 20 acres, I think. The company was super responsive and made the booking process a breeze. Highly recommend them!

Labor Day weekend Family Fun

Family came from WV and MA to enjoy a long weekend of fun! A little rain didn’t stop our fun since the lower level theatre room and game room were loaded! And the gym provided another space for basketball and pickleball games. Evenings in the hot tub completed the fun!! Great family house!

Perfect Mountain Escape

We had an incredible week-long stay at this Pocono mountains vacation rental! The spacious property offered something for everyone - from relaxing by the pool, in the theater, or hot tub, to enjoying some friendly competition at the pool table, game room, indoor pickleball, or basketball court. We also loved exploring the beautiful surroundings, including hiking trails and a serene pond perfect for kayaking. Plus, the abundance of table space was a bonus for our family's jigsaw puzzle enthusiasts! Overall, this amazing rental exceeded our expectations and provided the perfect setting for a wonderful family reunion. We can't wait to return!

Beautiful and very comfortable house on lovely large private property with so much to do on-site in rain and shine. This was a perfect house for our group of three couples, two of whom had toddlers. The first floor has a primary bedroom suite on one side of the living room and two bedrooms with a (jack and jill bathroom)on other.There is another bedroom on the lower level where the game rooms are. The living area is large and open and very easy with toddlers. (We brought a gate for the entrance to the stairway.). The kitchen was well equipped. The furniture was all comfortable and pretty and not fussy so very easy to use with kids. We sat on the front porch or the back porch depending on the time of day. The grounds are wild and beautiful. LOTS of blueberry bushes which I think the kids will remember for a long time. We enjoyed playing on the sand beach and wading into the water and feeding the fish. The pond is a tiny walk down the hill from the house. We also walked along the driveway and into the woods. Lots of fun time outisde with kids. The above ground pool and the hot tub were great. We played pickle ball in the indoor pickle-ball/ basketball court. Lots of cooking and baking in the well appointed kitchen that was right in the middle of the living area. Wonderful set-up for family together time. The home is represented by a management company that was extremely helpful and responsive to the questions we had when we first arrived. THANKS!!!!!!

I had concerns about the property when we arrived. Xbox will not turn on and is clearly broken, trash found in pool table pocket, cigarette butt in cup holder of the recliner, several smelly garbage bags left in the garage, no salt, no dishwaher pods, no ground coffee, no laundry pods etc etc. I called Wanderhome and instead of addressing the issues they assured me salt, dishwasher pods, and laundry pods were provided and asked me to send pictures. Although I was insulted, I provided the pictures. My issues were never addressed and were ignored. We called 3 times and no solution was ever provided. The dumpster was not emptied the entire week we stayed and it was very full from previous stays. Overall the property is nice, but clearly not managed or properly maintained. The 400 dollar cleaning fee is exorbitant for what is missed. There are so many simple fixes and repairs that would make this property better. One great thing about our trip we saw a bear in the driveway which provided for a great photo op.
