Arrowhead Lake Community: Cabin in Pocono Lake!

Reviews

• Great property that needs some TLC

  4/5

  Overall, great area, location, and wonderful home. The amenities were great, there were 3 comfortable sleeping beds and very pet & child friendly. However, the only downside was that it was filthy! When we checked in, the first thing I did was clean the entire place and rearrange furniture. My advice: do not check under the sofa! It is a great property that seems to have been loved at some point, but looks neglected. The radiator was broken in multiple places, we were with a dog and a baby, hence, the rearranging. The tub had not been drained for a long time, so you could not use it to soak. A lovely home that needs someone to care for it.

• A pretty good stay overall.

  5/5

  The good:

  -Great location! I loved the morning walks around the lake, taking my dog to the nearby park. The lake is beautiful; rented canoes, used the pool, etc.

  -This house allows dogs, so that was great. Not many good looking houses in the area permitted pets.

  The bad:

  -Like many of the houses in the poconos, the house very musty when you walk in. Initially that was very disappointing, but once you run the provided dehumidifiers non-stop and air things out, it gets a lot better.

  -The "grounds" were not ready to be rented. There were inches of leaves everywhere, sticks all over the entry entry deck. The house definitely needed a good powerwash.

  -Only a keurig machine is provded to make coffee. The keurig had water in it and was VERY moldy - no thank you. So we had to buy coffee each morning and wasted money buying pods before realizing i couldn't use the keurig. No brush or sponge or anything provided to clean dishes, so cleaning the keurig was not an option.

  -Huge gaps in the door frame let a lot of bugs in.

  -A few other issues like the internet code not provided (a quick text to the listing manager resolved that), only 4 towels provided for 3 days...little things.

  All in all, my family had a good time and i can't knock the place down a full star for the minor issues i noted above.
