Lovely Quiet Getaway for Adults
Our group of over-50 childhood friends gets together every year for a getaway, far from work and kids. This property is idyllic for that purpose: well maintained, peaceful, serene, and low-key, with a lovely and responsive host. We'll continue to return.

Great place!
We had a group of 16 staying here. It had plenty of space and accommodated us just fine. We enjoyed the kayaks and the fire pit the most. It was also conveniently located near places we could go for fun when the weather was bad. Overall beautiful place and the owners were wonderful and easy to get ahold of for questions. Hopefully we will be back!

This place was right on the small lake. Love all the amenities this house offers. We had a party of 16 with friends and family. Plenty of bedrooms, kitchen area and hallways can feel a bit small at times. Owner was very responsive if we needed her. Would def come again!

A wonderful weekend in the Poconos
We had a great stay at Inn Kognito, despite a rainy weekend. 2 families stayed with kids aged 1, 2 ,4 and 5 with plenty of space. The upstairs was great because there was a door separating the downstairs so essentially childproofed. We stayed in, made our meals and enjoyed the books and toys that were there, the beautiful lake views and the deer that came so close to the house! We did a few canoe rides and a campfire when the rain eased a bit. Was a lovely home, would come back!!

Excellent house and property!
My family holds an annual reunion in the Poconos every year, and we've stayed at several different houses. This one was our favorite! The house is beautiful and updated, the sunset lake views are stunning, and the kayaking/canoeing kept our teenagers off of their phones for hours! The lake/pond is the perfect size too -- big enough to explore, but not so big that you're worried about your teenagers. The owner was very responsive, and communicated clearly and efficiently. We will be booking this property again!

Fun time for family at the lake
Our family group of 8 adults and 5 young children had a wonderful week at Inn Kognito 1. We enjoyed the association amenities: 2 beaches, 2 pools, Pickleball. Several of us biked, ran and walked around the neighborhood and usually saw deer. And we enjoyed the property’s own amenities: we fished off the dock, used the rowboat, kayaks, canoe and the fire pit. The house had all we needed; and the owner was quick to respond to questions and a minor appliance problem which was quickly fixed. We can recommend this property.

Peaceful, clean house with attentive owner
Enjoyed our stay for several days. House was very clean and recently remodeled. Boats were great for kids to use on the lake. Only things of note, the floors had a bit of a height transition room to room with the remodeling. We were fine, but might be an issue for small children or older folks. Also, not a master bathroom. The bathrooms were very nice, just wish I would have caught that ahead of time to pack a robe. I would stay again.

Christmas at last
Rental procedure was easy. The house was cold but warmed up when we finally figured out the heating system. Lots of dishes and pots and pans. Maybe add a couple more towel racks in your beautifully renovated bathrooms to accommodate wet towels. Hope to return when it is warm so we can enjoy the decks, lake and fire pit. Thank
