Notes:

The washer and dryer are conveniently located in the mudroom wing off the kicthen. The mudroom is great for changing for skiing and messy activities all year round. Children are welcome, but keep in mind this is an old house that is not child proof there are two old wells on property, steep stairs, a haunted attic and creepy basement, woods, and outdoor critters. You will need to be a vigilant parent and supervise your child properly. Some kids may be bored without having daytime activities planned. We do have a small child bed available to put in master bedroom. Because of the steeper than normal stairs, it is not suitable for handicapped or elderly with mobility problems. It is great for the retired who don't mind a good stair climb. This is a dog friendly house with a maximum of two allowed. There is a surcharge involved. As we have finished a three year restoration, our future plans include locating a sauna and a remote barnwood deck.

Further Details for the farmhouse in Poconos, Pennsylvania, USA

Why we love this house Getz Valley Farmhouse is owned by me (the Contractor), my sister (the Manhattan socialite) and my dear friend (the social worker - ex-priest). All of us lived in New York City most of our lives or adult life. Having lived in this highly urban area and living through 9/11, we decided we needed a place where peace and nature rule. For five years we looked for a house and location that made us feel good. It was hard, you either found a new home with a great view and no character, or a great old house with a horrid location. We came across this house when it was run down, but I could see such great proportions and I sensed goodness. We made an appointment with real estate agent, and went inside and fell in love. The former owner, a carpenter, had worked years restoring the house, when he fell ill to Lyme Disease combined with heart disease and had to stop renovations at 60%. We completed the renovations, and now we open this lovely house with its aura of goodness and happiness to you

Why Spring & Summer are great times Every Winter near the end of February when snow is no longer fun, we all long for Spring. Well, the Earth always goes through a tug of war with Winter until Spring finally wins and the grass starts turning green, buds appear on bushes and trees, and Crocuses and Daffodils make their debut and Blue Mountain Ski finally turns their night lights off for the season. However, it is when I hear the frogs sing in March or April that I know Spring has won. Soon afterward the flower show starts with the tulips, lilacs, poppies, peonies, irises, daisies and one I do not what they are called. Seeing the world coming to life is incredible. It is sitting on the back porch as days get longer and watching the humming birds do their thing, and then sitting on the Adirondack Chairs by the gardens that is so cool. When summer finally gets here, the temperatures are always at least 5-10 degrees less than the city and nights are always comfortable. The shooting star shows are always fun...

Why Fall and Holiday Time is unforgettable It always amazes me how after the fall solstice, the earth quickly begins its hibernation. If we have a decent summer with adequate rain, we usually get a colorful fall. GV Farmhouse is great in fall. The Pumpkin fields at Strohls Valley Farms are nearby with the haunted Corn Maze. The colorful mountains and crisp clear days make for many a photo opportunities. turkeys often roam across the property stealing your thanksgivingday appetite, and there are Christmas Tree farms nearby. A romantic New Years safe and snug by the fireplace beats the crowds in the city and the maniacs on the road.
