Forteca Estate reviews in Albrightsville, Pennsylvania

“The house was beautiful and very clean, matching the pictures shown. There were some cons to our stay however. We could not use the fire table due to not being able to turn on the propane tank. The host was responsive and said they would check with their team but never responded with a solution to the problem. We also did not carefully read the description when we booked and did not realize that the hot tub was a wood burning hot tub. It was difficult to get it heated and we had the fire burning for several hours with no luck. We asked the host for help and they did provide further instructions but we had to Google that the display panel had an error code and needed reset in order to work properly. We spent a lot of our weekend trying to fix this issue so we could actually enjoy the hot tub. Finally, the security at the gate to the community were very rude and unhelpful. They would not let one of our guests in even though the host confirmed they had added that guest to the reservation.”

“Very nice back yard and jacuzzi was great”

“My friends and I stayed here for our annual girls weekend and it was a perfect home with a great outside space. Would definitely come back.”

“The house itself was beautiful, comfortable, and nicely decorated, and the beds were very comfortable. However, there were several things that impacted our stay. The front staff were not very welcoming, and the $100 early check-in fee felt excessive, especially since early check-in had been offered the night before. There were also many additional fees and rules that were not clear until after booking. We booked primarily for the outdoor amenities, but many of the features shown in the photos were boxed up, covered, or not ready for use. Almost everything came with an additional cost, including wood for heating and outdoor features. Very few basic supplies were provided—just one garbage bag, three dishwasher pods, and one roll of paper towels. Overall, the house was very nice, but the extra fees, limited supplies, and unavailable outdoor amenities made the experience less enjoyable than expected.”

“The property is beautiful & has a lot of potential, but its condition and our experience didn’t meet expectations. When we arrived, we weren’t on the security list, so we waited 25 minutes to get in. The biggest issue was an extremely loud noise directly under the bedroom that ran all night, making it impossible to sleep. It sounded like a fan or pump. The host initially said it was a normal house sound, but later found to be a faulty exhaust fan. Although we said there was no need to send anyone, someone came anyway, banging on the side of the house without notice, which was unsettling. The hot tub had visible sludge and a film on the seats. Microwave door wouldn’t close and part of the panel was coming off. Several exterior lights were out. We noticed a previous review mentioning the same microwave and hot tub issues. We tried to be understanding but too many issues remained unresolved. The lack of sleep, cleanliness, maintenance, and communication significantly affected our stay.”
