7 Mi to Big Boulder Mountain: Poconos Escape!

The house was clean and everything was in working order. Great location and so close to so many places.

The host was very clear with instructions and helpful with questions. Home was welcoming, clean, and comfortable. Wonderful location. Thank you!

Accommodations were exactly as owners described. Great location for our first trip to Blue Mountain.

Great communication with the host. Good location. We enjoyed our stay. All the amenities were available.

Unfortunately, our stay over Thanksgiving included a bunch of obstacles. Upon arrival, the house was freezing because the heat was turned off. We turned on the thermostats and tried to turn on the minisplit units (the remotes were very finicky) but after an hour of no improvement, we learned that the breakers were turned off. We also discovered that the window in the front bedrooom upstairs was stuck open due to a bent screen, so cold air had been leaking into the house. We removed the screen in order to get the window closed for the remainder of our stay. The smoke detector in the front bedroom downstairs was found on the dresser with the batteries out of it and the batteries to the tv remote were almost entirely dead, so trying to control the device was entirely inconsistent. The beds did not have top sheets and the downstairs bathroom did not have hand soap. The kitchen did not have paper towels or napkins. Worst of all, unfortunately, was the fact that the bottom coil of the oven did not work. After three hours of the oven pre-heating and no food cooking through, we discovered that the coil was so cool we could touch it. We then resorted to using the microwave, only to find that the turntable did not rotate (and yes, we tried the on/off button for the turntable). Thanksgiving dinner did not happen. The host was responsive our first day regarding the heating issues but we never received a reply to our communications regarding the status of the oven.
