Liquor stores are state run in Pennsylvania and 1/2 hour away. Option: The Market at Woodloch carries beer and wine.

The Deck This home is situated in a forest-like setting. This also means that the decks (especially the back deck) will accumulate shedding from the trees daily. There is a spray bottle in the kitchen to help keep the tables and chairs clean to your satisfaction. Table mats are also available if you’d like to use them (They are in the sideboard next to the dining room table).

Is there a firepit? Yes, we will provide starter sticks. You can bring wood or purchase at the Masthope deli.

Should I bring bottled water? While the area is known for hard water (water with natural mineral deposits), an electronic descaler water conditioner has been installed and the tap water is drinkable. There is an additional water filter installed for the ice machine. While taste is a matter of preference, the owners drink the tap water and do not feel a need to purchase bottled water.

Why does the bedroom feel cold? The thermostat for the house is close to the fireplace.  Please turn off at night.  If the fireplace is on, the temperature in the bedrooms will be turned off.

Smoking is not permitted anywhere on the property.

Pets are not allowed.

Washer and dryer are on the main level in the utility closet.
