Beautiful apartment and excellent host. Collyn was very prompt in answering all my questions. I would definitely stay here again.

This little attic apartment is so awesome. Collyn's communication was fantastic and being an Air BnB host as well this place really is one of the better places I have ever stayed. I only wish my stay was longer.

Beautiful shabby chic apartment! Very comfortable! Awesome, cute kitchen, perfect for a short stay!!! Better than a motel or hotel. Located just a few blocks to the park located on the water & also a few blocks to downtown. Thai Thai was a great restaurant within blocks of the apt. Also Mohegan Sun @ Pocono Downs is just a 15 min. drive & lots of fun!! Staying at Collyn's apt was great for our weekend adventure (white water rafting 40 min. away & treetop adventures 30 min. away) getaway! Thank you Collyn!

Collyn's place was clean, neat & well organized. In a grand old building of the sort they don't/can't make anymore. A pleasure to walk down the stately street to the nearby restaurants. My brother and I stayed there so we could meet up and go hiking in nearby Ricketts Glen. After the 7 mile hike with 27 waterfalls(!), I was content to lay around this peaceful apartment and enjoy Collyn's interesting book collection. It's the kind of place I depend on AirBnB to offer.

Collyn's place was absolutely heavenly. Great location in the town, impeccable decor and style, and a peaceful apartment. She is a fantastic host who is communicative and accommodating. We have so many great things to say that others have already said. It has been my favorite Airbnb stay so far and gives me inspiration for my future apartment in Wilkes barre! Thank you for everything, Collyn.

We loved our stay in Collyn's attic apartment. The apartment manages to be both cozy and spacious, and gets wonderful light. The bed is quite comfy. Collyn also clearly has an eye for design (no surprise, since she has a degree from Pratt), with everything decorated beautifully. We never met Collyn in person, but had a number of conversations over txt, email, and voice, and throughout she was very friendly and always available. Check-in and check-out worked swimingly. We would absolutely stay here again. Two things that could be a problem for some guests (at least, for guests who don't read AirBnB descriptions --- but then would they be reading this review either?): (1) the apartment is a third-floor walk-up; (2) don't expect to be able to unpack clothes or groceries, as the closets and minifridge are full.

If you happen to be in Wilkes-Barre, Collyn's place is an excellent choice. The details in other reviews about quiet streets, clean place, Collyn's attentiveness are all correct. We also took our dog to walk along the river nearby and he thoroughly loved it. Bonus were Collyn's architecture books if you're into reading those things.

All 5 stars and well deserved. I especially appreciated the fresh cut lilac in the bedroom. Whole apartment smelled wonderful.

Convenient for a shorter drive to the Scranton airport. Quiet

Grace was so gracious and welcoming, giving complete instructions ; I felt right at home. While it was not luxurious and there was minimal updating, it had everything I needed for privacy and comfort. Having the whole place to myself was a plus. Such a bargain!

Great quiet old house in a charming neighborhood!

Cecilia and her husband, Gordy, were fantastic! My wife and I could not have asked for a better first experience at a bed and breakfast. They were so helpful with recommendations of places to see in the area. Breakfast each morning was phenomenal (eggs benedict on croissant and gluten-free blueberry ricotta pancakes)! And the Hillard House was even more beautiful in person. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. Coming back after visiting neighborhood vineyards and breweries, the front porch makes for a fabulous evening. We highly recommend staying at the Hillard House with Cecilia and Gordy!

Our hosts were very welcoming and helped with our bags. We stayed there only for one night, but we enjoyed a charming, historic, well maintained home. We met wonderful people at breakfast and had great conversations.

We had a very nice stay at the Hillard House, a mansion from 1865 on the bank of the Susquehanna River (though you can't see river from the house). It was easy to communicate with Cecilia, and we enjoyed a nice breakfast along with the other tenants of the B&B, prepared snd served by Cecilia and her husband. The B&B has many common areas, for sitting and reading, and our room was nice with a great mattress and a small but nice bathroom. A good value for those wishing to stay in Wilkes-Barre.

Very charming house in nice neighborhood! Cecilia and her husband were the perfect hosts!

Cecilia and her husband Gordon (Gordy) treat their guests with consideration, respect, and a warm sense of humor. My eight nights with them were wonderful. A great environment, a lovely old house, a comfortable bed, delicious breakfast, and the chance to get to know the two of them and laugh together. No matter what brings you to Wilkes-Barre, your trip will be exponentially enhanced if you stay at Hillard House.

This B and B was excellent. The house was very cool and I enjoyed the antique items around. The hosts were super nice and provided a wonderful breakfast

Nice, quiet room! Close to restaurants and sights. Thanks!

Delightful. Terrific experience-tempted to visit Wilkes Barre again to just extend the experience! Thank you.

Room was large and accommodating, bathroom was smaller but adaquate. Perfect for a quick nights sleep while passing through on our way to NC. Check was great, Eva made it easy to get in late and leave early.

Easy to get to, great communication from Eva, comfortable bed and bathroom, and a very solid value.

Eva is a wonderful host, very considerate and helpful.

Eva made everything smooth and provided tips on local hiking. Will stay again when in the area.

I didn't stay the night as I had planned, due to an emergency at home. The parking was good, the room and home clean, and the hostess very pleasant. The room is on the second floor, and you must climb a somewhat steep set of stairs to get access to the first floor. All and all it was adequate, and I would stay there again.

Clean and simple. Overall good.

Eva was a most gracious host. She was accommodating and accessible. Interning in the area, I appreciated having a comfortable place to study after work.

This review is for the house in Mountain Top. Eva responded quickly to my request and graciously offered up her other location in Mountain Top, since this had just been rented. She followed up with a phone call to go over all the details and she was very nice and warm and helpful. She was also quick to reply to text messages with my questions. Eva was forthcoming that the house would be cold upon arrival and since a sudden cold spell came upon the area, she was right! I was able to get into the house before bedtime (I was in town for a late night recording session by Wilkes-Barre) and when I returned for bed it was still cold, but it had only been a few hours. By the time I woke up, my bedroom was cozy. If it's cold out, do take up her offer to have someone go by and turn the heat on! The house had everything I needed, clean sheets, clean (and nice!) towels, kitchen utensils, fridge, oven, microwave and washer/dryer. I was there but one quick night but the house provided. The area looks nice and I would've liked to have explored a bit. Do note that the front bedroom is right across the street from the train depot and the trains (and their whistles) start coming through around 8am. All in all, I appreciated having a nice home to crash in and would come by again if the opportunity presented itself, hopefully on a warmer night!

David and Shane's place in the Poconos is everything I was looking for and more. The mountain view alone will catch your breath. In close proximity to many attractions, the house is cozy, warm, stunningly decorated and very well taken care of. Shane and David were incredible hosts, responded immediately to all of my questions and sent me a list of suggestions for things to do in the area. The place far exceeded all of my expectations, and it was just what I needed for my vacation from NY. I would very highly recommend staying at this or any other of David and Shane's properties, and would absolutely book it again when I'm back in the Poconos. Thank you, David and Shane, for making my airbnb experience so enjoyable.

Where do I begin: hopefully nobody else has the displeasure of staying in this home. Although the house was nicely furnished, it was in the middle of the crustiest neighborhood in all of Wilkes-Barre. Although he said he was not going to be there and that the house was all ours. We come to find out that not only are the two other guests staying there in the 3 bedroom home. But also that he was sleeping on the floor. Then the room we were promised was taken by another individual and we were forced to stay in a room no bigger than a walk in closet. When we left for our daily activity the host moved all our belongings to the smaller room and it appeared as though he went through our bags. Finally after we returned from our day late at night (which we warned him about before even booking the room). He was sitting in a chair with one light on in front of the door waiting to throw us out in the rain. I presume he wanted the room we were staying in. We argued back and forth for not even ten minute, but his mind was made up. Out on the street we go. Afraid to sleep on his dangerous street we drove around aimlessly looking for a place to stay Unfortunately because of the festival we were attending all of the hotels were filled to capacity. I would recommend staying here and would avoid dealing with this person all together.

I loved the funky charm of this modestly but thoughtfully appointed, exceptionally quiet and private apartment with its views of greenery and flowering plants. The reclining club chair was divine, and the air bed a revelation, proving more comfortable, for me anyway, than much higher priced hotel beds. Although I never met Jules or Paul, I received periodic warm messages inviting me to feel free to call or text if I wanted for anything, which I never did. The guest manual was a model of thoroughness. Check-in and check-out was made as easy as coming and going from your own home. Thanks, Jules and Paul!

Jules was very accommodating during my visit. I had to push back my trip a day and had no trouble rescheduling my visit. Also parking was not an issue, there was plenty of spaces on the street. A list of good restaurants open during the night of my stay was given to me on arrival as well as some complimentary snacks. The neighborhood was nice and the apartment was great for the money. It's completely separated from the rest of the house, you have a large bedroom upstairs and downstairs is divided between a kitchen and a full bath. Would definitely stay again if I was going through the area.

Great spot to rest after a long trip. Looked like there was lots of stuff to do. Did not have the time to look around.

Jules was great to work with! She was very understanding with my schedule and quick to respond to questions. The apartment was exactly what I was looking for, it was quiet and safe and a great place to return to in the evenings.

Good value for money. Basic, but has all the amenities you need, WiFi, fridge/freezer, coffee maker, etc, even a folder containing good restaurants and stuff to do in the surrounding area. The owners are welcoming, and communicate well prior to arriving.

My time there was amazing, I didn't get to meet Mrs. Jules, but it was not a problem as she left a binder with locations and attractions to see while in town. My trip was centered around a concert in NY yet it was a breeze traveling there and back. I would highly recommend Mrs. Jules apartment to friends and family!

She is very nicn.

The place was very nice. Basically, you have a whole apartment for yourself. She was very friendly, welcoming and helpful to me in finding restaurants. They warmed the room upon my request, the room got very cold at midnight till next morning though. It is a nice place, I would like to go there again.

Carolyn was an exceptional host (A+) Check-in was a breeze and Carolyn made sure I had everything I needed. She is a superhost and a wonderful person. Her home is super clean and very nicely decorated and furnished. Perfect place to relax and unwind. Neighbors are friendly and the house is one of the nicest on the street and well maintained. Will 100% stay here again. Couldn't ask for a better experience, Perfect!!

Super clean and friendly neighbors. Worked perfect for us while on vacaction attending festival a Montage Mountain.

Host was super helpful, clear, and friendly. House was really clean and comfortable. Could't have asked for a better experience in Wilkes Barre. The commute to activities near there such as hiking, Camelback Mountain Adventures, and Scranton was short and convenient. I would definitely stay again.

We had a great stay at Ann's house. We loved the yard and outside seating. Great area, very well furnished.

Ann's place is a great spot for visits to Scranton as it's only a quick 25 minute drive. We checked in early and one of the beds was unmade upon arrival, but other than that Ann was a great host. We had an issue with the sliding glass door locking when closed too hard, but Ann came right back and let us in as her son had the extra front door key and the garage door opener had been left inside. We were also warned that her neighbors were worried about having Airbnb guests next to them since they have 3 small children; probably because the father didn't want strangers to hear him screaming at the top of his lungs at them in the driveway! Other than the poor parenting going on next door, there were no serious issues.

Beautiful home in residential area. Large backyard that is beautiful to enjoy in the summer.

The Best Place Ever!!! Highly recommend this place to everyone .Excellent for families with kids. Ann was very nice ,always answered text and emails. House was clean, cozy and spacious with large back yard . Nice quiet neighborhood . Can't wait to come back again ;-)

This stay was our first Airbnb experience and we were very impressed with all aspects of our stay - from locating a place to stay, booking, and the stay itself. Ann's place is beautiful and very comfortable. Ann was very helpful as well as thoughtful. We would definitely rent Ann's place again and we will use Airbnb again.

Kathy was a wonderful host! Clear communication, snacks and coffee made our arrival and stay very pleasant. Kathy's place was extremely clean and comfortable, a great stop for us on our way back to New England after the holidays. There is a great Italian delivery place that I would highly recommend.

Kathy's place was great. Comfortable, clean, quiet. Everything I needed after working night shift. She was always very attentive but never overbearing. Always conscious of the weather. She even left me a shovel to shovel out my car during the snow storms. Simply the best!

The house was great. Kathy was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed.

Kathy's Place is incredible. It's comfortable, clean, convenient; Kathy makes herself available and she puts a lot of personal touches in the place! We ended up oversleeping because it was so comfortable. Thanks, Kathy!

Great place!

Kathy's place is cozy and wonderful! Everything is clean and well cared for, and she is very responsive to any questions or requests. The mattress is very comfortable, the internet is good enough to stream movies, and the kitchen is well equipped for a longer stay. I would recommended Kathy's place for sure!

From the moment I walked into Kathys place, I knew I was going to have a great weekend! The space was set up perfectly, with great decor and comfortable furniture and the bed was amazing! She has added small touches to make the space feel more like home. The pool was AMAZING. Kathys place was located close to hiking trails, state parks, malls, food, etc! I highly recommend staying at Kathys place for your visit NEPA!

The house is gorgeous, everything was clean and organized. We left a jacket behind and Ms. Kathy was so kind to send it back to us trough mail. I can't wait to go back. :)

Wendy was super accommodating. She had to work a little late the first night I was there so she made sure her neighbor was there waiting for me when I got to the room to show me around. Everything went really smoothly. The place has everything you need when staying in the area. The bed is super comfy. Full kitchen if you want to do any cooking while staying there. I'll be back in the area for work in the future and will definitely stay here again.

Our host, Wendy, was so friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and cool (it was 90 degrees while we were there). We had a very pleasant stay and will plan to stay there again in the future.

The place is so cute and comfortable and Wendy is super nice. I stayed here while visiting my godparents for Thanksgiving and it was far better than any hotel. We had a lovely time!

Great experience, very clean, prívate, beautiful property,!! Nicest host ever! Thank you!

Wendy was super sweet! Excellent host. Our stay was extremely comfortable and the apartment is very clean and cozy! Highly recommend. Thanks Wendy! :)

Wendy was a great host and her place was the perfect size for us. It was very clean and offered us plenty of privacy. I would highly recommend her place to any traveler. The private bathroom was great and the bed very comfortable.

We were drawn to this listing by the private entrance and private apartment accommodations, not to mention fairly close proximity to Rickett's Glen State Park (a magical place!). In fact, we never met Wendy face-to-face but were in frequent contact via text. The apartment was all we could've hoped for...very homey, relaxing, comfortable and very well furnished with dishes, eating utensils, TV, microwave, Keurig coffee maker, instant oatmeal, snacks, private bath with shower, towels, shampoo. Great nights sleeping on a kingsized bed with fresh-smelling sheets and quiet! The neighborhood was quiet and safe. For novice Airbnb'ers, we feel like we hit the jackpot with our initial trial!

I needed a place to stay for 3 weeks as I had recently relocated from the Dallas area and wanted to have a long visit. This place was perfect for me. I knew the area; it was convenient; very comfortable; Wendy and her family were great. Highly recommended.
