Cheerful Pocono home away from home

We truly appreciated the cleanliness of the space, especially under the beds and in the bathrooms. As my husband and I both have asthma, it was a relief to find everything dust-free and mold-free. The warm water pressure in the showers was excellent, and the abundance of clean towels was a thoughtful touch.

I want to share a few observations that might help improve future guest experiences. While the house was clean, it does seem to need some general maintenance. The exterior wood near the front door and on the deck is damaged and could benefit from repair and fresh paint. The deck also has a green mold, which felt slippery and potentially unsafe to walk on. Inside, the house had a noticeable old smell and could use better ventilation to feel more inviting. The furniture felt quite old, and we noticed a kitchen towel on the counter that had a strong odor. Unfortunately, we also had trouble sleeping due to a persistent noise that seemed to come from the basement. It was unsettling enough that my husband wondered if someone might be living down there. I hope this feedback is helpful and taken in the spirit of care and improvement.

Location, location, location. Both Jim Thorpe and the Tannersville Premium Outlets were only about 30 minutes away in opposite directions. This home was in a gated community with a lot of amenities. There were multiple lakes, so even though the main one was being repaired we could still use the beach at a different one. We could also fish from multiple lakes. The lakes and pools require an amenity wristband every day at a cost of $10/person/day but they are well maintained and private to the community. I suggest checking in with the Civic Association building when you first get there as they have nicer maps than the one available outside the building. They were also friendly and helpful. The kitchen was very well-stocked; I dragged my crockpot there and the kitchen had one! It had ample cutlery, lots of appliances, a nice fridge, it even had an ice cream scoop! The grill was large and worked well. The provided towels were thick and fluffy and there were plenty. Another big perk was how responsive the host was to my questions. I stayed there with my family and another family and we had questions every day. The responses were prompt and helpful.

To be clear, I really enjoyed our time here and would stay here again, but just be aware that there could have been more living room seating. The couches were set up side by side and together seated five, but the house can sleep a lot more than that. It wasn't a huge deal. We spent most of our time out and about or seated around the large dining room table.

Our group had a pleasant stay at Knob Court. Would book again.

Lot of space, clean and well stocked

Quiet, cozy and peaceful

Pool was cold, main lake couldn’t use because they were draining it.

Good location, comfortable, nice and helpful hosts.

Thank you!
