Wonderful house. Hot tub was great. Clean and organized. Games for kids. Record player was great. Alexa helped to ask some questions about the area. On the lake. Beautiful view. Host was accessible. The only tough part was trying to find the dumpster to throw out the trash. You have to drive for this.

Great NYE getaway!
We had a great time at the Poconos Fountain House. The Jacuzzi and record player got tons of use. We did some snow tubing at Adventure Center at Sky top Lodge and that was a blast!

Amazing Pocono Fountain House
From the moment we walked into the house, we knew we chose the right place to stay. We all felt comfortable. The house was stocked with all the necessities. The beds were comfy. The views of the pond and lake were awesome. The wildlife was exciting to see. Amazing stay. Shawn was a great host. So helpful and friendly!

A great house
We truly enjoyed our stay. I was nervous simply because the application process seems so onerous, but it looks like it would be a nice place to stay in warmer months given all of the activities.

Great Stay
The property met all of our needs. We enjoyed the hot tub, had a nice view, and slept well. There were plenty of towels, tv’s, and there were not a lot of people around so we had an enormous amount of privacy. We will look to stay here again and recommend this spot for a nice get away.

Beautiful, cozy, relaxing
Everything was just as promised. We had 1 tiny issue with trash a previous renter had left, but the owner ensured that it was taken care of it right away, even though it was a holiday weekend. Communication was perfect, check-in/out was a breeze. Would love to stay again in the spring some year!

Fall anniversary getaway
The views are stunning. We lucked out weatherwise so we were able to spend a lot of time outdoor. Loved the gated wrap around porch.
