The resort location is fantastic. We had a beautiful view of the lake, and the balcony was fantastic. The room was clean, the linens were good, and while dated, the decor was pretty much exactly what I was expecting from a Poconos vacation. It was a friendly place, with an arcade the kids enjoyed, sports equipment and a VERY clean pool (not heated, but it was in the high 80s all week, so totally fine for cooling off and swimming!). My kids had a fun game of volleyball with some other guests one day, and had a blast in it. The furniture at the patio/pool was also clean and comfortable, and there is a gorgeous view of the lake from the pool area. My kids loved the expansive front lawn, which was perfect for playing soccer, running around, and playing with some other guests' kids. The supermarket and CVS are less than five minutes away by car, walking trails are along the water across the street, and a great ice cream place (Dairy Twist) also about 5 minutes away. There's a public beach for swimming that can be walked to or driven to (about a 2 minute drive), right next to the Visitor's Center. The staff at Tanglwood was friendly and helpful, super nice, got us an extra blanket for our daughter, helped with directions, very helpful when we discovered hornets trying to create a hive on our balcony the first day (they were there within an hour and removed the beginning of the hive, and sprayed, and there were no more issues!). We DID have some issues with the people underneath our unit smoking on their patio (cigars, cigarettes, and vaping), which would waft right up to our balcony. We spoke to the management about this the first day, because it IS supposed to be nonsmoking in the units and on the balcony/patio area, and they called and reminded them not to. We did still noticed them vaping after that, so unfortunately, we couldn't use the balcony as much as we would have liked (the smell bothered my kids and me), and couldn't leave the screen open to let air flow in without the smoke also coming in, but that's not the resort's fault- they did what they could, you can't control someone who isn't going to follow the rules anyway! Just frustrating because when they were not smoking, and we COULD leave the door open (screen only closed), it was wonderful to have the breeze coming in. There is also AC in the bedroom and the main living space as well, which was great when it was hotter on a few days!
