Exceptional Experience
It was an outstanding rental in every way. Home is warm, welcoming, clean, spacious and offered so much for our long family weekend. We enjoyed walking, running(for some of us 😊), kayaking, the outstanding firepit, cooking in the well-appointed kitchen, and spending quality time together on the perfect screened in porch. We all appreciated the love that is evident in this home. So happy we experienced this property for our annual family get together. Hope to return!!!

Lots of space, many options
This house worked out wonderfully for my extended family. Because we spent most of our time with other family in the area, we did not take advantage of many of the amenities offered, but we enjoyed the deck with morning coffee and took a pleasant walk to the nearby lake. Sadly, we did not see the neighborhood bear. Figuring out which switches controlled which outlets was a challenge, but we eventually figured it out. (Hint: The switch is not always in the same room as the outlets it controls!)

Great Getaway!
We enjoyed our weekend at Hilltop Haven! Very spacious and filled with things to do. Our children especially enjoyed the basement with pool table and darts! Close walk to the nearby lake and close to Lake Wallenpaupak. We loved having the option of sitting outside by the fire or inside of the screened in porch.

great house
The house was wonderful- extremely well equipped, large, comfortable, cozy, lots of fun toys and games, wonderful wood stove with plenty of firewood, everything you would need in a kitchen, plenty of linens and towels. Fit 5 adults and 5 kids and 1 dog very comfortably. One word of caution- beware the zipline! It is fast and without an obvious way to dismount safely... we had a couple of injuries... (yeah, after the first injury, the second one was on us...)

Sweet house in the woods
Such a sweet house. The decor was charming. The deck is very large. And the screened in deck was wonderful. The kids loved the kayaks and the swingset. The living room was large enough and comfy enough for the children to watch a movie after a long day of fun. The house is situated in a perfect place. Close to the lake and the town of Hawley. Only 20 minutes from the Wayne County Fair. However the two locked closets were full of mothballs. My daughter and I are both sensitive to mothballs. A can of Fabreeze helped to get rid of the smell. We truly enjoyed this sweet house in the woods.

Family Get-together
The property was perfect for what we needed and had wonderful toys and supplies for our 3 year old and great activities, even for the adults. The property is also close to many wonderful things to see and do. While the listing is accurate, we neglected to ask if there was air-conditioning. I think for the most part, it wouldn’t be an issue, but the week we were there, the upstairs rooms were very hot, despite plenty of good fans. The property instructions were great and very helpful. For those of us who like to recycle, please include information for where to bring recycling in town since your trash does not pick-up. Overall, we had a wonderful week there. Thank you!

Perfect Lake Getaway
Our family had such a great time at this property. We used it for a Memorial Day getaway and had mixed weather, but with this property there was always something to do. When outside activities weren’t an option the family was playing pool, darts, board games, or just cuddled into a movie. When the weather cleared we were zip lining, kayaking, boating, and roasting marshmallows around the bonfire. The hosts are top notch as well — easy communication and very friendly. They’ve considered every detail. Highly recommended!

The best family winter getaway
So many great things to say about this home and Rebecca as a host! The home was perfectly clean and fully stocked with just about anything you can imagine, not to mention huge extras like toiletries, cut firewood, a fully decorated Christmas tree and even baby gates. My large family and I were beyond comfortable during our stay and really enjoyed the whole house. Especially the game room, play room and outdoor playground. Check in was easy and Rebecca was prompt about any questions we had before and during. Thank you again for a wonderful holiday vacation!

Great House
The family had a great time at Rebecca’s home. The house has everything we needed and then some. The house rules were pretty easy to follow and everything was in its place. If I owned a home in this area I would build it just like this one. The only issue we had was the property is on a steep hill so my parents had a hard time walking to the yard and down the driveway. My father actually fell once by the yard and slid under one of our cars and then fell again in the front of the house and this time he rolled down the driveway… all the while keeping his cigar lit and in his mouth… now that’s dedication! -Joe

The house was clean, very cozy, and nice and chilled with no air conditioning need it! Rebecca the host got back to me very quickly on all my Questions, she even had an air pump which saved the day for our moms 65th birthday. We were sad to leave but look forward to going back!

Lots of toys for kids and adults
Cold rain all Memorial weekend, but had fun inside this large, well equipped home. The refrigerator and cabinets had lots of food, spices etc. We appreciated the supplies, but had to stack most our food on the kitchen counter - thus left with a cramped preparation space for cooking. Need detailed instruction for using the harnesses for the zip line. Wouldn't recommend trying it unless completely sure how to hook up properly.

Great house and location
We were three couples with kids staying two nights to celebrate NYE. The house had a bedroom on each of the three floors for us as well bathrooms so plenty of room to spread out. The propane fire pit on the porch gave off enough heat for us to enjoy it even in the dead of winter. The game room with pool table, air hockey and dart board was used by all. The house was clean and equipped with everything you might need. We also enjoyed a short walk to the lake - iced over enough to walk on - and a picturesque covered bridge. Enjoyed our stay and would love to come again during the summer.

We were a group of 10 friends from NYC, looking for a relaxing, fun weekend out of the city. Rebecca’s property was perfect for that! There was so much room to spread out. During the day, some people were working in the screened in porch, some relaxing by the fire pit, some playing in the basement. It’s the perfect house for a big group! The house had everything!
