Liked: Cleanliness
great space for groups
We had a group of 13 and we all fit comfortably in the house. lots of stuff for the teenagers/kids to do and space for the adults to talk and hang out. close enough to Jim Thorpe to get stuff we need. only thing to note is that sound travels quite easily so sleepers who need quiet need to sleep in the basement as both the upstairs and main floor bedrooms are affected by the sound in the kitchen and living rooms.

Family and friends trip
The house is nice, could have been a little cleaner, especially outside seating areas. Ground level has no AC unit and could use a dehumidifier for sure, and there are only 2 AC units in the whole house, does not Keep whole house cool. The hottest day we had there it was 82 degrees in the house with both units on. Not comfortable at all, BBQ is old and has issues. Somebody had to come out and fix the BBQ and the AC unit. BBQ was successful and AC unit just stopped leaking but still did not cool the house down enough. We actually went home the night before check out cause everyone wanted to go home a sleep in their AC’s. Bet the house would be better in winter. House sleeps 16 but they only offer 10 passes to rec area so we didn’t get to go. Also house states there is a hot tub but there is no hot tub.
