Wonderful family getaway
I have had a lot of home rental experiences and this one was stand out for me. Yoel and his team (Dave) did a wonderful job ahead of time and during the weekend to make sure we had what we needed. He proactively reached out and offered to help. He brought my kids scooters from his house during the weekend. It was lovely. The house is beautiful. With capacity to host like 30 people. We had lots of room and our kids were able to run and enjoy themselves.

Planning Meeting
Yoel is an amazing host. He went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed for a fun and productive weekend with our team. He checked in and made himself available to answer questions. The house is beautiful and well furnished. There are multiple coffee stations and plenty of places to gather. The neighborhood is excellent. We had people driving in from all over the Northeast and Scranton was the perfect central location.

Great and spacious
This property was beautiful and has so much old charm. They also had multiple coffee stations including an expresso maker that definitely made the mornings brighter. Yoel was extremely amenable and always got back to me within a day whenever I had a question. I was super impressed with how spacious the building was too. Usually when I reserve a place that sleeps 20 people there isn't much space for anything besides sleep. That was not the case at all for this property. The first floor did not have any bedrooms in it which made it great for hosting my party. The pictures don't do it justice. I highly reccomend renting this property if you want to host a small event with friends and family. It was such a neat stay and Yoel was extremely amiable and helpful.

Girls Weekend
We came up for a girls weekend for the St. Patrick’s Day Parade. The house had ample space to accommodate our large group of 15. Yoel was very responsive to our questions.
