TopNotch Life review
The home was beautiful, very clean and like home. My only complaint is with PRM the day before checkin. I had emailed PRM week prior to checking in that I was unable to get to the website for checkin info. I was not contacted by anyone from the Poconos Rental Management Co. Then, the day before checkin, I was still unable to get to the website. After MUCH difficulty in finding a number/email to contact, I was able to leave a text and email for PRM. I received a text back stating that I could not use the checkin app because the security deposit was not paid. I replied that the trip, including security deposit, had been paid for months. I requested specifically that someone from the company call me to clear up the situation. I received a email in reply that they were "checking on it". There was never a telephone call to me as I requested.. I was unable to place a call through any of the numbers provided. This was extremely anxiety producing, as my family and myself were planning to leave the next morning, and I did not know what was going on. I finally received a text approximately 30-40 minutes later stating that I could check in. I went to the website, and then was able to check in. This is extremely extremely poor customer service. You should call your customer when there is a problem, and they specifically request you to do so.

Nice house
The house was nice. Plenty of space. Unfortunately, there were some dirty dishes left in cabinets and drawers. Pot and pan selection was lacking. Very few towels left for guests. Hot tub was not particularly clean.

Great house - modern, clean and well taken care of
3 families with kids ranging from 7-15 stayed here for a weekend. This house was modern and well stocked with everything we needed. The owner clearly pays attention to detail. The decor was perfect for a Poconos house, and we especially loved the game rooms - pool, shuffleboard, foosball, air hockey and plenty of board games. Lots of beds and well spread out. The kids loved the bunk beds! We enjoyed drinks on the deck and relaxing in the hot tub. Only downside was that there was no fire pit, but we knew that going in. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this property.
