Tony's home was absolutely perfect. More beautiful than the pictures. We had such a great time relaxing on the lake. Tony's home also comes with any & everything you could need during your stay. Had the dock all to ourselves which was very nice. Tony's dogs are very sweet and absolutely adorable.Sarah2016-08-20T00:00:00Z
The host canceled this reservation 8 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.PAULA2016-11-15T00:00:00Z
Clean and cozy. Easy check in. I want to come back in the summer.christa2016-12-31T00:00:00Z
Great location. Close to a lot of resturants and the grocery store. The house had a lot of handy ammenities like a grill. The dock was large and in a quiet cove with little boat traffic for privacy.Pam 2016-08-03T00:00:00Z
This little gem by the lake, tucked in the woods, and surrounded by a charming profusion of flowering perennials was a perfect spot for our house hunting weekend. Tony's apartment is spotlessly clean and comfortable: your toes will sink into the plush carpet and the beds are heavenly soft. Big bonus: your host is a fantastic realtor! We're looking forward to returning soon.Rajini2016-09-06T00:00:00Z
Tony is a great host! Great communication, very helpful yet provides privacy. Definitely would stay here againLauren2017-04-01T00:00:00Z
Tony was extremely accomodating and regularly checked in on us to see if we needed anything. The place was in a wonderful location, quiet, peaceful, and on the lake. I'd definitely come back again.New2016-07-07T00:00:00Z

Beautiful view of the lake, just as shown in the picture! Very amenable host who greeted us and made sure we had all of the information we needed. It was a great location within close proximity to a variety of sights and activities.Linda2016-10-29T00:00:00Z
Linda's condo was the perfect place to hide away for the weekend. The view was gorgeous and the location was convenient to everything. Within about 40 minutes, we were able to drive to The Virginia Dare for a lunch cruise. The condo was also convenient to restaurants, shopping and wineries.Liz2016-07-25T00:00:00Z
Linda was very accommodating. Called to check on us. Made sure we had everything we needed. I had several questions before arriving and emailed Linda several times. She was very quick to respond. Our stay was very nice. The view was astounding. Pictures of the places where exactly what we saw when we were there.Kelly2016-09-11T00:00:00Z
It was the best weekend! We loved everything about it. We enjoyed the view every morning drinking our coffee. It's breathtaking...ANNA2016-11-07T00:00:00Z
We were a few hours late getting to Linda's place because we ha to drive through some of the worst rain I've ever seen on the highway. Linda called to make sure we were okay which was nice. Her place was cute with an awesome view. If we are ever in her area again we'd definitely stay there again.Zoran2015-10-10T00:00:00Z
We had a wonderful stay! Linda was very helpful with restaurant recommendations and places to rent paddleboards. The condo was clean and had a beautiful view.Lisa2016-08-01T00:00:00Z
If you are looking for a cozy getaway for two on the lake - you've found it! Linda's place is adorable, in excellent condition, and has a beautiful view. From the moment we booked until we left we felt welcomed and taken care of. Linda is a gracious host who provided many little touches to make us feel welcome and at home. Perfect for a weekend getaway and just what we needed! We'll be back to the lake!Jennifer2016-05-02T00:00:00Z
Linda personally greeted us at the rental to show us around. She was kind enough to allow us to extend our checkout time.John2016-07-20T00:00:00Z

Very pleasant stay at the quiet, comfortable home. We got good cell service at the house (both Verizon and ATT). Very peaceful to sit on the dock and relax. Very quick trip to get breakfast and other things you may need. We would definitely return. Thank you for a lovely stay.Heather2016-06-12T00:00:00Z
Welcoming and inviting, the Writer's Cottage was a nice quiet place to spend the night. Virginia was lovely to work with and professional and prompt in all our communications. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a quiet night's rest.Megan2015-09-27T00:00:00Z
Directions provided by host were excellent, allowing us to find the house even in the dark. Virginia was welcoming and showed us down to the lower level of the house where we were staying. Cottage itself was beautiful and its location stunning. We enjoyed a walk down to the lake and decking in the morning and wish we could have spent more time in the area. The bedroom and living area were very pleasant, relaxing and comfortable – extremely homely! We felt very peaceful here. We arrived very late (much later than we had intended) in the evening but had a nice chat with Virginia in the morning before our walk. An interesting and friendly person!Colin2015-11-07T00:00:00Z
The Writer's Cottage was a wonderful place to stay at Smith Mountain Lake. Ginny was a wonderful host and made us feel very at home. We enjoyed the use of the kayaks and all the helpful hints Ginny gave us regarding places to eat. I can't wait to read one of her books!Kiki2016-07-25T00:00:00Z
The cottage was easy to find, and the host made us feel very welcome. The surroundings are an aesthetic treat for the eyes. The view was such a nice change from the typical hotel setting. Do note there is no internet access at the cottage. I was able to connect my laptop to my mother's cell phone Bluetooth. Hopefully, if you visit the Writer's Cottage you won't need to access the internet and you can enjoy the kayaks or a lovely stroll by the water.Ashley2016-05-15T00:00:00Z
Virginia is a hostess with the "mostest"... We were very pleased with our stay. She kept on touch with us to make sure we had the directions right. Pleasant place and host!!Ysabel2016-02-15T00:00:00Z
What a wonderful escape! Ginny and the Writer's Cottage were ideal for our trip. She even spoiled us with home made deserts and whipped cream - will look forward to staying there next year!Jim2016-04-11T00:00:00Z
The writers cottage is a little piece of paradise by the lake- we didn't want to leave! Ginny was the perfect host who went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed both in the house as well as information regarding the area. The self contained ground floor of her house is cosy and homely. There was only the two of us but it could comfortably fit a family. Being on the shore of the lake with access to kayaks was just the best. Communication with Ginny was easy and prompt. She was on hand when needed and left us alone to enjoy the leave and quiet of the lake. I can't speak too highly of this place. Just go there!!James2015-10-01T00:00:00Z

It was just a short drive to the Parkway and trails. Booking was simple, and Corbin was very responsive. Perfect trip.Michelle2016-06-19T00:00:00Z

We had a great stay with Corbin! He was very accommodating, helpful, friendly, and welcoming. The attached apartment was nice and very clean. Corbin gave us great suggestions on where to grab dinner and drinks that night. It was my first airbnb experience and it exceeded my expectations. We would definitely suggest booking with him.Amanda2017-04-01T00:00:00Z

I've never had such hospitality out of hosts! They were amazing! This is the space of theirs you want to rent when you want to be part of their family for a few days. Plus, it's really a hop, skip and jump from all of the Grandin Village amenities and there are bikes!Kristen2016-10-09T00:00:00Z
A very enjoyable stay. Truda and Joseph were very welcoming and hospitable. The room was clean and comfortable.Phil2016-10-25T00:00:00Z
The stay was great! Truda and Joseph weren't there when I got there, but gave me detailed instructions on how to go about letting myself in and were super responsive answering messages. The house was in a nice neighborhood, plenty of parking. Although my stay was short, everything was very accommodating from check in to check out. Very confortable bed and the room was very inviting. Would definitely stay again!cierra2016-08-05T00:00:00Z
Joseph met us at the front door and showed us around the place. Everything was extremely clean and neat! We only stayed one night while we were passing through town but the neighborhood is very safe and quiet. There are tons of places very close by like restaurants and stores. We will definitely stay here again!Andrew2015-12-04T00:00:00Z
Joseph was friendly and welcoming... and helpful in every way -- from finding the ironing board and iron, to helping me find out about recreational things to do in the area.Beverly2016-06-18T00:00:00Z
Friends dropping by, shared suppers, laughter, exploring dreams and hopes; you can't find these at a hotel or put a price on them. Truda & Joseph's household is full of life, ever evolving, and a great place to "belong".Susan2015-09-04T00:00:00Z
A lovely stay. Got to say hi to Truda and Joseph when they returned from a trip, and it was a pleasure as always. The house is very well located close to Grandin Village, parks with walking trails, and the new biscuit place, which is worth checking out :-)Lydia2016-08-19T00:00:00Z

Great location, loved being able to walk easily to downtown. Very spacious apartment. Well appointed. Although I didn't utilize the kitchen, it looked fully stocked Loved the power/USB outlets, nice touchMick2017-04-01T00:00:00Z
We arrived late in the night which did not present a problem as our hosts were able to provide access to the apartment in a convenient fashion (keypad lock). The apartment is clean with new furnishings. The home itself is an older home that does have character. The stairwell leading to the apartment door is a bit tight regarding space so don't try to carry all your luggage in at once ; ). It was a good fit for what we were in town for since the location was perfect; it only took 5-6 minutes to get where we needed to go. There is some minor traffic noise at night so if you're a light sleeper a noise machine may be helpful. I just used my iPad app. Overall this was a pleasant stay.Michelle2017-03-12T00:00:00Z

We spent 2 night at Beverly's apartment. After signing a long rental agreement she send us an entry code. When we arrive nobody was there. I called Beverly to say hi and ask about an restaurant or shop (it was a Monday evening),was told that probably everything is close and I have to find out by myself. The apartment is very clean,the kitchen is very (URL HIDDEN) is difficult to cook anything except perhaps the eggs. You have to clean the dishes in a very small bathroom's sink. Not the solution for a longer stay,but for two nights was OK. In the agreement was written that you have to clean everything,take the sheets off and take the trash with you. That's fine with me,but why we paid $50 cleaning fee? The apartment is not on the lake,there is another house in between. But you can take a nice walk.Grazyna2015-08-26T00:00:00Z
That was a great spot! Beautiful house and wonderful nature - night time deers are everywhere! We preferred to go to SML(which is just 5 min away) because we wanted to rent a boat. The house was very clean and welcoming. Me and my friends went just for one night, but we would love to go again. As well with everything you can make bbq. Beverly was there to help with anything we needed! Thank you and see you soon again:)Zlati 2016-06-15T00:00:00Z
The apartment was exactly what I expected.Mark2015-10-11T00:00:00Z
We came for a 3 day weekend in the heat of July. It was our first visit to Smith Mountain Lake. Nature's Retreat was clean, neat and tastefully decorated. The deer are plentiful and cute and the house is very convenient to SML lake park. We rented a boat for the day and it took only 5 minutes to get there! We brought boiled eggs, yogurt, and granola and had a comfortable breakfast in the home each day. There were plenty of towels in the bathroom and overall, the place was very comfortable. Beverly was very hospitable, though we did not see her much. The location is great and definitely recommend it for anyone wanting to experience SML for a short stay.Michael2015-07-20T00:00:00Z
We really enjoyed our stay at Beverly's apartment, it was such a relaxing weekend! The home is very clean and beautifully decorated. Beverly was very nice and accommodating, and easy to reach for questions. The water was close but not too close so the children could run and play in safety. Thank you Beverly!!!Natasha2016-10-23T00:00:00Z
Beverly was not there at the time of our check-in but we had no problems getting into the house. It is the lower level of a two story duplex and was as described on the page--full bath, master bedroom plus pull out in living room, kitchenette. We did not realize that it was not a full kitchen--our mistake as it is clearly stated on the page--so we brought a good deal of food to cook. There is only a small hot plate available and a small skillet plus a microwave and toaster oven. Due to shortage of pots for cooking, we had to go out and buy our own pots and pans. We left them there for the next guest to use. Just be aware that the kitchen area really isn't conducive to cooking an extensive meal! Overall the stay was great for the winter. The house is only a 5 minute drive from Smith Mountain Lake State Park which was incredibly scenic despite being chilly! Lastly, due to it's moderate isolation (which was actually very nice!), I would recommend bringing groceries and other foodstuffs given the nearest store is a 20 minute drive. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle for a weekend and enjoy scenic Virginia, this is a spot to check out!Lucy2015-02-15T00:00:00Z
Awesome stay! Great quite location on the water. We had a beautiful morning on the lake in Beverley's kayaks.Brady2016-10-10T00:00:00Z
From start to finish this was an amazing experience. We were slightly confused when we pulled up where the water was, but just a small little walk down the path and we were in a perfect spot! We met Beverly when we were at the dock and she was floating with her sister. So sweet and welcoming! The place was perfect for our little family of 3 including our toddler daughter. We were able to grill burgers for lunch and "griddled" eggs and bacon for breakfast the next morning. We were there for a wedding at Mariners and it was the perfect distance! We would most definitely stay there again!Jill2016-06-06T00:00:00Z

Lori's room was perfect. She had organized everything in advance so I was able to pick up the key at my leisure--it was a very laid-back check-in process. The room was really clean and exactly what I wanted for my trip to Roanoke for the bar exam. She was a very capable host and I would readily stay at one of her properties again.Mackenzie2015-07-29T00:00:00Z
Lori was an exceptional host! She was thoughtful about the details down to the jar of chilled, filtered water and clean glasses waiting for me in the kitchen. The place had a ton of historic charm with exposed architectural details, beautiful hardwood floors, and high ceilings. But it also had nice, modern amenities like central air and an updated bathroom and kitchen. The front porch had a vintage glider bench with colorful pillows and two chairs where I enjoyed the morning coffee with fresh milk and sugar Lori had stocked for us. The space was perfect for two guests. Since I wasn't traveling with a significant other, we weren't looking to share a bed, so the sleeping arrangements (one full size bed and one full size fold-out day bed) worked perfectly. I'd definitely recommend a stay here. It was the thought and details Lori put into it that made the stay!Matthew2015-07-12T00:00:00Z
The apartment is wonderful, very spacious. Lori was very accommodating with all the amenities, and made the stay very easy, especially if you'd rather stay in on some evening and just cook for yourselves.

Our second stay at AGH, so please see my detailed review from November. We'll be back whenever we want to stay over for The Harvester Performance Center ... a likely several time we don't. ;-) For one or two people, this apartment is fantastic - don't hesitate. But if you have another couple with whom you're close, you simply cannot pass this up. Both bedrooms are luxurious and most comfortable. And, as mentioned by many, Glenna is indeed a SuperHost(ess)!Hank2017-03-06T00:00:00Z
Glenna responded to all questions very quickly and courtestily.Sharon2016-10-03T00:00:00Z
Glenna was super quick, efficient and welcoming in her communications and making arrangements. The roomy apartment, occupying the whole upper floor of the Angle House, was even better than advertised - my wife and I both uttered "fabulous" - but we're not allowed to alot more than 5 stars. The kitchen was well equipped and thoughtfully stocked with coffees, teas, cider, water, soft drinks, juice and snacks. The king bed was comfortable and the furnishings tasteful and attractive. Both bedrooms are very nice and each has it's own spacious bathroom. I loved the porch with it's rockers, dining set and views; Janet was partial to the reading room/parlor with chaise lounge. The 3 TVs appear nice, but we don't watch. The apartment washer and dryer appeared new. Let me reiterate, Glenna has excellent taste in furnishings - we've stayed in few high end hotels and B&Bs nicer and none more comfortable. The location, on a hill with views and both morning and evening sunlight, allowed for a 3 block walk to The Harvester concert hall. Wow, was it nice not to drive or find parking. We will definitely return for overnights and even longer stays for future shows. The only suggestion for improvement we either could make would be to restore or install gas logs in those lovely fireplaces in each bedroom.Hank2016-11-16T00:00:00Z
Glenna was wonderful with her timely and pleasant communications. We loved the accommodations, the very large rooms, well appointed, etc.Jacqueline2016-10-31T00:00:00Z

My boyfriend and I inquired to stay here over the holiday weekend so that we could squeeze in some hiking along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Heidi was very nice and prompt in response, and the apartment was just as beautiful as the pictures show. She also put thought into making sure we had extra towels, cookware, dishware, etc., and responded quickly to any concerns we had. We also greatly appreciated the private entrance from outside, and the neighborhood was beautiful. This is a great place to stay if you enjoy scenic views, and are interested in exploring the mountains or Lynchburg area (very convenient location). We will definitely consider staying here again should our travels take us back out that way. Thank you for the wonderful experience!Erin2015-07-05T00:00:00Z
Comfy suite in Forest! Took me at the last minute. It was great!Evangeline2015-04-09T00:00:00Z
Great private apartment with modern kitchen in a quiet neighborhood. Very close to the Blue Ridge mountains. Heidi was very nice and very accommodating. Great place!Kevin2015-05-31T00:00:00Z
Very helpful and welcoming family! Comfy, cozy and clean suite!Nichol2015-04-13T00:00:00Z
Heidi was wonderful, both through the booking process, leading up to our stay, and while we were there. We stayed in the nicely-renovated basement apartment while moving our son into Liberty U for his first year of school. The apartment provided a restful, comfortable retreat in a beautiful, country setting during a busy trip. Everything we needed was provided for. We enjoyed the new futon and the movies on Netflix! Very quiet location -- we couldn't hear the family above at all. We would stay again if available when we visit in the future!Chad and Shannon2015-08-21T00:00:00Z

Jonathan's directions were clear and his apartment is accurately portrayed by the pictures. It was clean and comfortable and even had a bottle of local wine to welcome us. We stayed on a weekend (Friday and Saturday) and the building is clearly "in the middle of things", just a short walk from the open air market and the rest of downtown Roanoke. Parking garage was very convenient to the building and Jonathan was very responsive. Great value, would stay again and recommend to friends.Josh2016-07-11T00:00:00Z
I am a very honest reviewer based on what I want/need when I stay away from home. The location of the apt was great. Walking distance to all downtown has to offer. Safety was never compromised. I felt safe the entire time. For being in the city, there was hardly any noise except early one morning, but that is expected. The one problem I did have was how much light is in the apt at night. I like darkness when sleeping, so if you are that way, bring a sleeping mask. Otherwise, perfect size for my husband and I for a short trip to Roanoke.Nita2016-10-12T00:00:00Z
This was my second visit to Roanoke and it was more enjoyable than I expected it to be! Jonathan's apartment fit all of our needs with a great space and prime location with downtown just steps from his door. I especially liked the security of the garage and key fob for access to his condo. Jonathan was an outstanding host who was kind enough to give us a bottle of wine and local recommendations for places to dine. I would definitely recommend his place and consider going back in the future.Krista2016-05-02T00:00:00Z
Jonathan was a great host, place is cozy and comfy as advertised. Location was perfect for our visit, and he was very accommodating of our dog. Our only complaint was that there were no chairs for the table but it wasn't a problem as we never ate in. Jonathan is super responsive and made us feel welcome in his pad.Jesse2016-04-17T00:00:00Z
Jonathan made us feel welcome, and was easy to reach. Location of this loft is amazing and close to everything.Anastasia2016-10-16T00:00:00Z
Jonathan's place was exactly as pictured. During my stay I left like I had never left my own home. He was very flexible with changes in check-in and check-out times. I would highly recommend Jonathan's downtown loft!Kellie2016-11-06T00:00:00Z
Location perfect for downtown , nightlife can walk around explore downtown. If u want a clean, organize,neat place,good bed this is not for the place for you , if u want to cook your meals not good also .humberto2016-11-30T00:00:00Z
The apartment was great, perfect for 3 people. When we met Jonathan, I knew that this was a great spot. Host was accommodating and also thought about the few extra's that really make it a great stay! We were able to host a few family members, with no issues and no complaints. Drug store right across the street, great breweries down the block a FREE museum 3 blocks away and great food! We will definitely reach out to Jonathan next time we are visiting the family in Roanoke.Robert2016-04-25T00:00:00Z

What a wonderful experience! Truda and Joseph were the ultimate hosts and their accommodations were outstanding. They had a wonderful breakfast and the room was quiet and comfortable. Laundry, as well as a giant backyard were also available. I would love to stay there again!MaryBeth2015-12-17T00:00:00Z

Najlepsi gospodarze jakich do tej pory spotkałam: uprzejmi, pomocni, ciepli ludzie. Pokój był bardzo przytulny, jak i sam dom. Przed domem można pobujać się na hamaku i odpocząć, gdyż dom położony jest w urokliwej dzielnicy Roanoke (niedaleko kameralne kino), a w kuchni wszystko co potrzeba, można poczęstować się soczkami z lodówki lub napić się kawy, herbaty. Przytulnie, czyściutko i serdecznie, czyli to czego podróżnicy potrzebują najbardziej! Love this place!Dominika2016-08-23T00:00:00Z
Truda and Joseph were warm and welcoming, enthusiastic and willing, knowledgeable and very helpful, well-organized and well-equipped to provide common items, if needed. I echo favorable sentiments expressed by other guests who stayed before me. Aesthetics and clean and with many amenities including b'fast. Conveniently located. Would stay again. Many thanks Truda and Joseph.Hersh2016-02-09T00:00:00Z
Great experience. Extremely comfy bed, sheets, and pillows. Relaxed atmosphere, I felt like I was just staying with friends. We actually had dinner together my first night there. Truda and Joseph both provided a good balance of being available and sociable, but also respectful of personal space and privacy. I am thinking of relocating to the area, and they were very welcoming and helpful with info about the area. They really go the extra mile to provide nice snacks, drinks, etc, and graciously provided space in the frig. for my stuff. I would (and probably will) stay there again.Lisa2015-09-16T00:00:00Z
Joseph stayed in contact with me the entire time to make sure he would be available when I arrived. There was no pressure and he was very flexible with the timeline. As soon as I showed up he immediately gave me a tour of the property and let me get settled in. Trudia was very helpful and friendly as well. They went above and beyond and are highly recommended should you find yourself in the area. Neighborhood was relatively quiet.Steven2016-05-21T00:00:00Z
I had a great time w/ Truda and Joseph, including a great bike ride first thing in morning w/ Truda. You won't find better hosts.Jane2016-07-26T00:00:00Z

Two young Blue Peter competition winners will be centre stage in
Beijing this summer as they take part in the closing ceremonies of
the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games performing live in front of millions of people worldwide.
Blue Peter, which celebrates its 50th anniversary in October 2008, has
taken the two winners to Beijing for an incredible once-in-a
lifetime opportunity.
As the Beijing Games come to a close tomorrow (Sunday 24 August), London
becomes the next Host City of the summer Olympic Games and this is
marked by short performance by London 2012 as part of the closing
Ten year-old Tayyiba Dudhwala from East London has a
starring role in the handover ceremony alongside stars including David Beckham, Leona Lewis and
British cycling gold medal winner Victoria Pendleton.
Nine-year-old Gareth Picken from Gloucestershire will star in the Paralympic
Games handover performance on Wednesday 17 September.
The two children will help to welcome the world to London as part
of the eight-minute handover segments within the closing
The segments aim to reflect the capital through dance
and music and have been created and staged by the London Organising
Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG).
In the
ceremony, which features an iconic London bus, Tayyiba will receive
a football from another child, which she will hand to David
Gareth is also to take a central role in the
Paralympic Games closing ceremony segment, which is set to be an
equally spectacular performance.
The eyes of the world will be
centred on Tayyiba during this historic event which will be watched
by a crowd of 90,000 people in the Beijing Olympic Stadium and millions more worldwide.
The competition was run in partnership with LOCOG.
To enter
children had to write a postcard to a child in Beijing telling them
why they were excited about the Olympic Games or the Paralympic
With such an extraordinary prize on offer the competition
solicited a huge response.
Tim Levell, Editor of Blue Peter, says: "Blue Peter prides itself on
its inspiring competitions which give children remarkable
opportunities they would never normally be able to achieve.
year's Olympic Games and the forthcoming 2012 London Games are
hugely exciting for our viewers and we are delighted to be able to
play a part in this historic occasion.
"It marks a wonderful start
to our 50th anniversary celebrations."
Support for Blue Peter during the Olympic Games extends beyond the
handover ceremonies. Members of Team GB have also praised the show.
record holder and double gold medal winner Rebeccca Adlington spoke
of her desire to become a Blue Peter presenter in her winning
interviews and Bryony Shaw had her Blue Peter badge pinned to her
as she windsurfed to her bronze medal victory.
Blue Peter viewers will be able to watch a behind-the-scenes film
of Tayyiba and Gareth's amazing experience when the new series
returns on 23 September 2008.

My wife and I found Lin and Ed's room posted when we were looking for a place to stay after hiking around Hickory Run State Park. Prior to our arrival, they were very responsive to any questions we had. Lin even asked us for our favorite bagels for breakfast the next morning, too nice! Upon our arrival, Lin & Ed offered us dinner they had (URL HIDDEN) was delicious and saved us a trip out. The guest room was very clean, spacious, and included an awesome snack basket. Later in the evening, we used their hot tub on the back deck and it was perfect for star gazing. Lin & Ed were so welcoming and left us to ourselves to enjoy our time. They were great hosts and sweet people and I would highly recommend a stay at their home!Michael2016-11-06T00:00:00Z
We were extremely satisfied with our stay at Lin and Ed's home. Our room was beautifully decorated and the bed was very comfortable. We slept well after a long day of travel and another day of many outdoor activities. The bathroom was clean, organized, well-stocked with soaps and towels, and the shower was comfortable. The house is situated in a very quiet and rural neighborhood, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Lin and Ed made sure we felt cared for and informed us of local attractions. Ed went literally the extra mile(s) and brought me one of my treasured t-shirts which I had left behind as we were pulling out of town. We will come back next year for our annual autumn trip to the Poconos and stay with Ed and Lin .Christoph2015-09-22T00:00:00Z
Lin & Ed are the nicest couple we met so far in any of our stay, they are super hospitable, kind and always keen to help on any need. One need to stay at their home to believe how beautifully their home is decorated and clean. Surroundings of the house is equally beautiful. Most importantly, their pets are cute and superb! Hot tub in the deck was added enjoyment for us at late evening when we arrived after a long day. We had a great staying experience here and definitely going to come back again (for sure!). Thank you both Lin & Ed for accepting us as your guests and gift us the most memorable stay! You deserve to be a super host! With lots of love ~ Monalisa and Soumo.Soumyadip2016-05-31T00:00:00Z
Ed and Lin were one of the most courteous hosts I've had the pleasure of meeting. They were welcoming and very kind. As soon as I walked into the guest room, I felt like I was in a true BnB. Everything about the home was very cozy. The couple were very thoughtful in leaving a wonderful variety of scrumptious snacks in case we were to get hungry and it definitely came in handy for the night. I felt at ease because I like to watch some TV before I fall asleep and they have no problem with it being on. They have lovely pets with a unique background story for each individual pet. Ed and Lin even made us breakfast. They couldn't have been more of a gracious host. I definitely recommend this place for others.Saiful2016-09-12T00:00:00Z
Lin and Ed are super nice and kindly people I have ever met in U.S. There are very considerable and friendly to guest. Also, the house is very clean, neat, cute interior. I feel sad that the pics on Airbnb couldn't show how this house is amazing(especially guest room). This room is not just like another Airbnb room. When I first saw our room, my thought was I was in hotel. There are all the supply that you need in the room (+snacks and water). I also loved cute animals sharing the house. They won't come into your room. They are really well trained!! I will def. come back next time if I have a chance to visit this area again. I feel sad that this amazing place has only one review! Thanks Lin and Ed offering us great stay!!Jeonghyun2015-10-12T00:00:00Z
Our hosts were the nicest couple, supremely hospitable. They made sure all our needs were addressed before we even knew we had them :) The description is accurate. Their house was festive, absolutely gorgeous, and, most importantly, clean and neat. The surroundings were, of course, beautiful as well. Mountains, forests, pine tree farms. The people we met when we went horseback riding and out to eat were friendly, accommodating, and charming. We had a great time due to the people we met and the cozy seclusion of our room! Would definitely revisit in the future.Kristen2016-02-16T00:00:00Z
If you are looking for a secluded place in the Poconos with great hospitality and comfort be sure to check out Lin and Ed's amazing house. They treated with the utmost kindness and their house felt like a 5 star hotel. We loved getting to know Lin and Ed, while also playing with their beautiful dogs. The room we stayed in was clean and filled with amenities that will make you feel right at home. We will definitely pay Lin and Ed another visit in the springtime. A must stay in the Poconos!!!Alen2017-01-29T00:00:00Z
Lin and Ed are gracious hosts! They have thought of every little detail to make your stay comfortable. Including having a warm delicious snack ready for my late evening arrival! I enjoyed my time with them, and their animals!Michele2016-10-01T00:00:00Z

Arielle and her grandfather Tom, the owner of this wonderful property, are truly warm and gracious hosts. Arielle reached out to us as soon as we booked to ensure our questions are answered. She made special arrangements for our children. The place is truly out of a storybook! The cabin is a labor of love by Tom constructed with meticulous attention to details. It comfortably sleeps 7 adults and children. It's designed with the amenities that are usually available at more expensive luxury homes we have stayed at. The grounds are stunning and the ponds, brooks and rivers are uplifting. The kids had a blast partaking in the many activities on the grounds including the star dogs Daisy and Jake! We can go on writing for a long time but you have to experience it to truly appreciate this amazing property. Finally, we thoroughly enjoyed our chats and personal tours with Tom who is a multitalented and special host. We surely will be back with friends and family. Thanks to Tom and Arielle for a wonderful time!Shawn2016-07-26T00:00:00Z

This place is good stay for skiers to spend quality time with friends & family. It has 5 beds, but just 2 baths which is kind of ok. You'll love the pool table here in 2nd floor. Trash disposal is about 4 miles from the house, ensure u dont leave a single hair at house. Beds are ok, but take ur own towels and comforters.

I highly recommend this place for a peaceful getaway nestled in the Pocono Mountains.Ardin2016-12-29T00:00:00Z
I spent the weekend at this home with five of my girlfriends for a mini getaway. Jennifer was attentive to the fact that we were a group of girls just looking for a weekend to catch up and relax. The couches and beds were comfy and just enough space for 6 of us to hang out and unwind. We were close enough to a few hiking trails and ski resorts. It was a wonderful property and Jennifer was a superb host. She was easy to communicate with and very timely in her responses. We absolutely adored the property and had a great stay.Brittany2016-12-11T00:00:00Z
Jennifer's cabin is the perfect place to getaway! She went the extra mile to provide adorable notes, snacks and a detailed guide book. The cabin itself is so beautiful, clean and cozy. The area is quiet, scenic and truly stunning. I can't say enough positive things about our stay, I have the best 30th birthday vacation ever! Thank you!Ali2017-01-13T00:00:00Z
Jenn was very prompt with returning messages prior to arrival. The home was well equipped with all the necessities. It was a great home away from home. We were there for a mini ski trip and the home is a short drive to Camelback. We can't wait till our next trip this summer to the Poconos . We will for sure look to book this house again.Amy2017-01-26T00:00:00Z
Jennifer's house is as lovely as it looks in the photos. It is also incredibly cozy. One of the days we visited, it was raining and storming, so we stayed inside by the gas fireplace most of the day. She has also done a stellar job making the place welcoming. Closets and light switches are labeled so you can quickly make yourself at home, and the baskets of snacks and coffee were a great touch. A short drive to Boulder Field and Jack Frost Big Boulder. Neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. Perfect for a mountain getaway with friends. We can't wait to return!Sara2017-02-26T00:00:00Z

Rimma was quick to respond to any questions we had regarding the house. Six of us stayed comfortably. We cooked in all nights and the house was fully equipped with dishes, glasses, cook wear etc. we used the fireplace every night which was a great feature! The sliding glass doors were a bit tricky but we managed. We kept warm with being able to adjust the thermostat in each room. It was quiet and we even saw a little snow. Nice area we enjoyed our overall experience!Amanda2016-01-05T00:00:00Z

This was a great weekend in this home. Not many complaints. There was a weird smell in the place but I think its due to the age of the carpet but, it wasn't too distracting. The location was perfect. If renting this place, food shop before 10pm and cook at the home. No late night food options exist for 30 mins in any direction. All in all, this was a quality rental.Tyshawn2016-08-29T00:00:00Z
Pros: 1- Rimma was very responsive and answered all of my questions. 2- The neighborhood was beautiful and we particularly loved the lake. Cons: 1- The house wasn't clean. There were large ants everywhere and the furniture was dusty. 2- There was a missing coil on the stove. 3- There were stains on the bed covers/sheets. Although the neighborhood was charming, the conditions of the house was a turn off. We didn't feel comfortable in the house. After notifying Rimma about the issues we encountered, she said she will fix all the issues.iris2016-04-25T00:00:00Z
This was a perfect house to spend the weekend with my family. Rimma was very prompt with all the messages. The house is in a really nice community and close to ski resorts as well as a lake with a beach. Exactly and even better than the pics posted. Completed with all needs for a great weekend. Will go there for another long weekend soon.Dols2015-01-19T00:00:00Z
This was a nice quiet place. It was clean, and there were no big issues. We were surprised to find no towels in the bathrooms, and no laundry detergent, so couldn't do laundry.

The house is very charming from the outside, situated on a quiet road conveniently located 15 min from Big Boulder Lake/ski resort. The house has 11 beds, so plenty of room for large family and/or friend gatherings. The house was relatively clean when we arrived and the kitchen is stocked with most basic kitchen tools needed for cooking large, family style meals. A few basic items were missing that would have been helpful to have (dishwasher detergent, hand towels), but overall the house met the needs of our group. However, we came prepared with our own bed sheets and bath towels. There is a dollar general nearby for basic necessities, too!Dorothy2017-01-16T00:00:00Z

Great place. Rita was great staying In touch with us coming up to the day of our stay and also let us pick up the key prior to the stay to make it easier arriving.Mike2016-11-06T00:00:00Z
It was very good and Mike was so helpful and gentelman. Neighborhood was great.Shirin2015-10-12T00:00:00Z
We had another wonderful vacation at your beautiful house! The house is a perfect size for the 4 of us. We adore swimming at the lake and the awesome hiking trails that are a short drive from your home. My family and I decided that next year we'd like to make it a longer trip, because nobody ever wants to leave. Thank you!Mandi2016-07-22T00:00:00Z
Great place! Came down with 5 friends for a weekend of snowboarding and relaxation, and it was just that. Close to Big Boulder and Jack Frost and very comfy place. We were all comfortable!Alyssa2017-01-22T00:00:00Z
House was very nice and secluded lot. Nice community with a big sand beach. Close to everything you need and anywhere you want to go.Roger2016-07-28T00:00:00Z
It was a wonderful house. We had a perfect time. The house was very clean and easy to check - in. We got a big welcome and if we needed anything we could ask every time. The house is big enough for 6 people so that everyone also has enough space if needed some alone-time. The surrounding of the house is beautiful and very peaceful. Rita was very helpful with everything. If we ever get the chance to come back we definitively will choose to stay a again at Rita's house.Aliksandra2015-08-01T00:00:00Z

Very nice large house, clean, fun games in the basement. Great for a chill weekend with friends!Michael2015-08-23T00:00:00Z
We had a blast staying at gretas house this past weekend ! She was very nice and welcoming to us. The house was very spacious, had a pool table, ping pong and foosball table which was a great feature. It accommodated our group of 8 perfectly. Beds were comfy and warm with covers. I would recommend this house if you're looking to enjoy a weekend with friends and family. Thanks for having us greta !Marcelo2015-03-01T00:00:00Z
Could not have a better time in this beautiful house, the host was very helpful, any question she answered in a reasonable time.German2015-01-25T00:00:00Z
Can't ask for a better place than this. Beautiful home and close to all the major attractions in the Poconos. I definitely recommend this place. My friends and family enjoyed their stay very much and that couldn't make me any happier. Thanks Greta!Daniel2016-05-16T00:00:00Z
Our family had an excellent stay at Casa Fabian. Our family decided to stay in the Poconos for the Thanksgiving holiday and this house was the perfect choice! The rooms were spacious and the house was super clean. Our three-year old daughter loved exploring the house and all the children's toys that came with it. Also, the pool table in the finished basement was a plus! We wholeheartedly recommend Casa Fabian for your next stay in the Poconos.Maria2016-11-27T00:00:00Z
The listing was accurate, and the open floor plan on the second floor is wonderful. The screened in porch and deck on the second floor was also a treat. A signed rental agreement is required, and perhaps I missed it in the ad, but it was a bit of surprise to me. Greta, the host, was responsive, and we had a very good time.Mark2015-06-21T00:00:00Z
The host canceled this reservation 104 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.Jonathan2016-04-09T00:00:00Z
Pros: The host was very communicative and easy to work with. The house itself is big and spacious with a large deck and very nice kitchen. Bedrooms are fine and the game den in the basement is a lot of fun. It is in a neighborhood but you don't see any neighbors from the deck so it feels nicely private. Cookware is nicer than the average rental. Cons: The host mentions that you need to bring towels, which we took to mean bath towels. In fact there are none in the house- no bathroom hand towels, no kitchen dish towels. When we arrived there was a single trash bag. So just come fully stocked with things like towels, paper towels, trash bags. Some of the house could use some repair, notably the deck. Not a big deal but noticeable, and the shower downstairs has drainage issues. Trash disposal is a bit of a chore, as you have to drive several blocks and check in with a security person to discard your garbage. As long as you know to assume it will be about 10-15 minutes to complete this you're fine, but it's not at the house itself. Overall a fine place to go if you are hitting up Jim Thorpe, rafting, etc in the area.Brian2015-08-16T00:00:00Z

Amazing house! This is a place you would always want to come back. We plan to go more if John and Susan would be able to accommodate us. The house is in perfect condition, feels like it's brand new, every bedroom has it's own character and kitchen is perfect for cooking. We loved to sit at the covered porch and watch deers coming for food(get some at Walmart on the way to the house). They also have fireplace and hot tub. Overall the house is perfect and we wish we could just stay there every weekend! Also it's worth to mention that there are a lot of things you could do short drive from the house, John has folder with booklets on the kitchen, which is very helpful! We went hiking in Hickory park where you'll see waterfall and rock river, rented bikes at Jim Thorpe - little town near by and went to the lake which is 10 min walk from the house. We hope we'll be back soon.Thank you Susan and John for all your help!Svetlana2012-09-10T00:00:00Z

My family and I had an awesome time and experience at Nicole's place. It was very clean and cozy - felt like our home away from home. This space afforded us the opportunity to create new memories while sharing and laughing at our old ones. Of course we loved the game area, as our competitive nature came out to see who was the best as foosball. The start attraction of the house, the jacuzzi, did not disappoint. It held all of us comfortably and we enjoyed it after a long day.Ariel2016-07-31T00:00:00Z
Very clean place to spend time with family and/or friends.Franklin2016-11-13T00:00:00Z

Nicole was a gracious host. Her home was very beautiful and just like the pictures show. A very clean and enjoyable home was lots of imaginative decorations. The fireplace and hot tub are two very big pluses.John2016-04-28T00:00:00Z
The house is great! We felt completely relaxed and at home. The house is spacious and has everything you need for an enjoyable stay. The hot tub, deck area and game loft were the highlights of the house for us! Conviently located to many great hiking areas, as well as the northeast extension!Jaime2016-05-28T00:00:00Z
Nice Place! Hot tub a plus!!Erin2017-02-18T00:00:00Z
My experience was great. The house was comfortable and clean. Communication was great, but I was a bit scared that we wouldn't be let in if we didn't have passes or cars would be towed if they didn't have the right plates. It was much more of a relaxed environment that I anticipated. The instructions were great, but the water pump and water heater was already turned on so I was confused.Maria2017-01-08T00:00:00Z
This house is great and exactly as advertised. Location is superb. It's more spacious than it looks and is nicely appointed and comfortable. Nicole was super responsive and helpful. As a first time air bnb user I was delighted.Graham2017-02-26T00:00:00Z

we had a blast at the house for the weekend. It was perfect for our group of friends to get away from the city and enjoy the poconos. the lake was beautiful. only downside was we couldn't get the fireplace to work and the showers barely had hot water pressure (literally small drip) definitely recommend and rebecca waa very helpful and easy to work with!Avriel2016-09-05T00:00:00Z
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this immaculate home. It was so easy from initial contact to final contact with Rebecca! He hope to be able to come back next year! Thank you!Jill2016-10-16T00:00:00Z
We had a great weekend in the chalet! Everything was very clean and in pristine condition. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals. It was a quick drive to Jack Frost for skiing as well. Just remember to bring your own sheets and towels.Anya2017-01-16T00:00:00Z
The house was much better than I expected. It looked as if it was all newly renovated. There were puzzles, boardgames, and movies of all kinds available inside the house. Brand spanking clean, with a wash machine and dry machine for you to use, as well as central AC. Rebecca was a great host. Everything was cared for before we arrived. The front deck was super clean and awesome to bask in the morning sun while sipping on some coffee. There is community lake that has a small beach area, as well as a pool area, and gaming room. Hiking trails also nearby. On the inside, there was one master bedroom upstairs, one bedroom downstairs, and another small room with a sofa bed in it. One thing though is that the grill outside was a bit unusable for me. It was a little dirty, which would have been just fine, but it also smelled a bit funky. I suppose the previous renters did not keep the grill clean... Also, you have to take your garbage to the nearby dumpster, which is a bit hard to find and also requires you to drive outside the community. However, these were small issues and I would definitely come back to rent this house. It is a great value and really clean inside.Dennis2016-08-28T00:00:00Z
Beautiful place nice and clean. Lots of things to do in neighborhood. pool, lake, boat renting... No mosquitoes I don't know why…Edgar 2016-08-22T00:00:00Z
Colleen was great to deal with, pleasant and quick to respond to questions. Her home is exactly as pictured, clean and comfortable. We visited with 3 families (8 people) and having 3 bathrooms was a plus! We would love to visit again in the summer months to check out the neighborhood amenities. Thanks again!Maura2017-02-05T00:00:00Z
We enjoyed our stay at Colleen's home in the Poconos! The house was very clean and only a half hour from Blue Mountain! Colleen was a great host and communicated well while making check in a breeze. Would recommend this home to anyone looking to spend some time in the Poconos.marianna2017-02-11T00:00:00Z
Amazing house! My friends and I had a great time. Kitchen and living room were exactly what we were looking for and the bedrooms worked perfectly for us! A little farther from the mountain than advertised and you do have to provide your own sheets and towels, but I would definitely rent this house again!

Felt very welcome at the house. Everything was as advertised. Enjoyed the front deck and the game room. Would definitely stay again. Communication with the owner very easy and accommodating.Larry2016-06-06T00:00:00Z
1. Would be a plus if shampoo/body wash and hair dryer are provided. (Or maybe it's just me didn't find it?) 2. House was good. Cleaning instruction was clear (like to shut off heat/water, to put everything back, to do garbage). We cleaned everything well and I wondered what the cleaning fee is for. 3. Having a little hard time finding place to get rid the garbage. Hope the host can make it easier.Charlotte2017-01-22T00:00:00Z

The accommodations were basic, but clean and adequate. Harry was a responsive host.Fiona2016-02-26T00:00:00Z
My overall stay was great. Harry and his wife were very responsive and always available- either at the office or via phone/chat.Colleen2016-09-05T00:00:00Z
We did not expect much of this place, just basics, and we've got a warm room and a hot shower. Unfortunately, the sheets and towels were dirty, they all were in disgusting yellow spots. It was hard to find the motel, as gps leads you in a wrong direction. Besides, there was a huge bear looking for food in a trash bin, we were frightened went outside the room and seing it jumping towards the woods. I know it was not very dangerous, but we had an unpleasant hour. As for Harry he was very nice and responsive, answered all our messages instantly and helped with all our small issues.Anna2016-04-18T00:00:00Z
Все соответствовало описанию, имелись определенные особенности (можно было почище душ и полотенца), была неисправна дверь в ванную. В остальном отлично, прекрасно выполнили свою задачу - отдохнуть, переночевать во время длинного путешествия на автомобиле. Великолепная коммуникация владельца, все отлично! Рекомендую.

Grea hosting. Great house.. neat and clean...Senel2015-10-12T00:00:00Z
The house was clean, beautiful and very spacious. However the rules were very strict and super confusing for both staying and checking out of the place. Also, the guests are suggested to bring their own linens and towels, which was a turn off. When paying more than $650 per night linens, towels and toiletries are a given, which were missing in this house.Parul2016-08-21T00:00:00Z
We had a wonderful stay at the house this past weekend. Fantastic ambiance, many activities close by, and the house had much to offer as well. We really enjoyed cooking in the kitchen, playing outside in the backyard, and the basement. The house was spacious and there was plenty of room for the 16 people. The host was very responsive and it was an overall great experience.Shruti2016-06-01T00:00:00Z

Very welcoming experience. Could not ask for anything more.Gjergj2016-12-04T00:00:00Z
Summary: I highly recommend this house, we would definitely rent again. Gary was a very responsive host, and the house was lovely and met all our needs. In detail: We rented the house with some friends over July 4th weekend -- we were three young families made up of 6 adults and 4 young children, all under the age of 5. The house was very nice, clean, well appointed, exactly as described and shown in the photos. It ended up raining, so we spent a fair bit of time indoors, and we had plenty to do with the pool table and ping pong. We also did a good amount of cooking and the kitchen was easy to use. Best of all, Gary was extremely responsive throughout the whole process. He even went out of his way to set up two cribs for our use (no extra charge). The house is in a community and we paid a little extra ($160) to gain access to some of the amenities there. We had to register in advance for that access. Anyone over the age of 2 needs to pay to access the amenities, and there is a limit to the number of people who can get access each day (you can get 8 wristbands). At least those were the rules for the weekend we were there. The community clubhouse is very close, about a 5 minute walk. There is a lake, a pool, a very small beach, a small playground. There are also some amenities that cost extra (above the cost to register for the clubhouse): a little stand that sells snacks, a boat rental, and some arcade games. Unfortunately, because of the rain, we didn't get to use the amenities as much as we had hoped, but they looked pretty nice. The house also has a nice yard which our kids enjoyed running around, and we saw lots of deer all around.Conan2015-07-05T00:00:00Z

Place was quiet and relaxing, it's a bit old but very cozy and also really close by to attractions and things to do like gun range, water rafting and even zip lining! Host Cori was very friendly and even showed us around the house when he handed us the key personally, he made sure our stay was as smooth as possible, we will definitely book this place again if we are doing something nearby again!johnny2016-07-06T00:00:00Z
Cori is a well-organized and hospitable host. The check-in process was smooth and efficient. The house is very spacious and we particularly loved the game room and the jacuzzi. It was very unfortunately that we did not get to use the amenities in the gated community, but I'm sure we would've enjoyed it. The location is great- about a 5-10 minute drive to the supermarket and local restaurants. It is also approximately 15 minutes away from whitewater rafting. A minor thing was that the carpet and the game room was slightly musty, but after we turned on the AC the smell went away. We also wore slippers around the house so it wasn't a problem. All in all, we had a great time and will definitely return.On Ba 2016-07-31T00:00:00Z
Place was exactly what we were looking for. Very relaxing and Cori was a great host. All details were as advertised.Dave2016-11-27T00:00:00Z
I went here with a group of friends and had an excellent experience. The host, Cori, is excellent to deal with and takes great care of the property. The amenities worked well as did all of the games. 5/5 would book again.Alexander2017-03-19T00:00:00Z
The house was everything I expected and more! Cori was great with keeping in contact with me and even allowed a self check-in because we were wayyyy behind schedule. There was a beautiful set-up of cake, balloons and wine when we entered the home (I was celebrating my b-day) so that alone moved me. He was flexible about the number of guest I had and gave a reasonable price for the extra people. The fire place was out of order, but everything else worked fine. Cori responded to any message I sent in a more than timely fashion. We were also allowed a late check out. One of my guest forgot her purse in the room, and Cori shipped it to her within the week (at his own expense). I had a great time in a great home with a great host!Constance2017-03-12T00:00:00Z

Why Jersey says it's not a tax haven
The island of Jersey is welcoming the prospect of more regulation of offshore financial centres.
While simply having low tax rates is not illegal, and countries can legally provide incentives to attract business, the report criticises the OECD for not including certain countries in its list of tax havens.
Oxfam's analysis found that 90 percent of the world's biggest companies had a presence in at least one tax haven.
The report, based on 2014 data, exposes 15 jurisdictions as the "worst tax havens" used globally by multinationals to avoid paying tax in the countries where they operate.
They include Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Singapore, Ireland, Luxembourg, Curaçao, Hong Kong, Cyprus, Bahamas, Jersey, Barbados, Mauritius and the British Virgin Islands.
Oxfam's list is based on "the extent to which these countries use damaging tax policies to help corporates reduce their tax bills, including using low or zero company tax rates, unfair and unproductive tax incentives, and showing a lack of cooperation with processes fighting tax avoidance", it says.
In June Oxfam said the use of tax havens by Australian-based multinationals cost Australia $6 billion in lost tax revenue annually, and developing countries an estimated $US2.3 billion ($2.8 billion) every year.
The report was launched with an online poll that showed that 90 per cent of Australians polled think the Government should do more to stop multinational corporations avoiding paying tax in Australia and in every country in which they operate.
Governments need to do more
The G20 and the OECD have tried to tackle corporate tax avoidance as part of the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) plan.
The initiative is aimed at enabling governments to tax profits where those profits have been made, rather than the offshore tax havens they get shifted to for tax avoidance purposes.
NGOs like Oxfam have been critical of OECD governments for not providing "an equal platform for developing countries to influence the BEPS tax reform negotiations".
Both the European Union and the G20 have also committed to producing a blacklist of tax havens in order to clamp down on corporate tax dodging. A G20 blacklist is due to be published next year.
According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), large multinationals own, on average, almost 70 affiliates each in tax havens, and this enables them to pay a lower effective corporate tax rate at the group level compared to multinationals without affiliates in tax havens.
But OXFAM says there's been "a failure to use objective and comprehensive criteria for assessing countries means many tax havens".
"Criteria for the EU blacklist, may not, for example, include whether a country has a zero per cent corporate tax rate," the report says.
"This means countries such as Bermuda, the world's worst corporate tax haven according to Oxfam's analysis, may not feature on the list at all."
Oxfam found that US multinational companies reported $US80billion in profits in Bermuda in 2012 – more than their profits reported in Japan, China, Germany and France combined.
"The EU's decision to only assess and list countries outside of the EU ensures that no European country will feature on their blacklist, despite Oxfam's analysis indicating that the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Ireland and Cyprus are among the world's worst corporate tax havens," the report said.
"It is absolutely critical that the world establishes a clear list of which are the worst tax havens, based on objective criteria, and free from political interference."
Oxfam Australia's senior economist Muheed Jamaldeen said Australian-based companies needed to be crystal clear about what taxes they were paying and where.
The report calls on governments to improve public tax transparency by publishing country-by-country reports that give detailed breakdowns of profits earned, taxes owed and taxes paid, as well as an overview of their economic activity in every country where they have subsidiaries.
Oxfam also wants tax agencies to publish "core elements" of tax rulings and agreements between tax authorities and multinational companies, "to make both governments and companies accountable to citizens".
The OECD had rejected making such information publicly available, saying it would be "misleading".
On Monday the Bermuda Development Agency (BDA) released a statement rejecting Oxfam's assertion that Bermuda is a tax haven. BDA chief executive Ross Webber said Oxfam's labelling of Bermuda as a tax haven contradicts the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development's definition of a tax haven.
"We consider it an inaccurate, ill-informed and disturbingly prejudiced attack on a small north-Atlantic archipelago that exerts an enormously positive impact globally—including on the very regions and populations Oxfam wrongly accuses us of threatening," he said.
Oxfam's ranking of the top 15 corporate tax havens:
1 Bermuda
2 Cayman Islands
3 Netherlands
4 Switzerland
5 Singapore
6 Ireland
7 Luxembourg
8 Curaçao
9 Hong Kong
10 Cyprus
11 Bahamas
12 Jersey
13 Barbados
14 Mauritius
15 British Virgin Islands

RICHARD CHILDRESS, OWNER OF RICHARD CHILDRESS RACING, met with media following the announcement of a special-edition Dale Earnhardt commemorative Wheaties box honoring his legendary career and celebrating his induction into the Hall of Fame.
WHO PUT THE WHEATIES DEAL TOGETHER? "General Mills is one of our sponsors and we put the deal together to run Wheaties on Clint's (Bowyer) car at Indianapolis."
WAS THAT A DIFFICULT DEAL TO PUT TOGETHER AS FAR AS CONTRACTS GO? "The more people you deal with the more complicated it gets. But when everybody is on the same page to accomplish the same thing, they're not that difficult."
CAN I GO OUT AND BUY ONE OF THESE COMMEMORATIVE BOXES OF WHEATIES RIGHT NOW? "It will be this summer."
THE CAR LOOKS GREAT. DOES IT BRING BACK ANY MEMORIES? "Oh yeah, the Wheaties deal that Dale (Earnhardt) did, he was really honored. He was real proud. He wasn't a guy who would show his emotions sometimes, but he was really proud. He knew what it meant to be a champion and he knew what it meant to be with other champions that had been on that box (of Wheaties) for so many years."
DO YOU THINK JEFF BURTON WILL BE A CHAMPION THIS YEAR? TALK ABOUT THE DRCR RIVERS "Jeff Burton will be a contender for the championship. Kevin's (Harvick) car is really running solid and strong. We know that to win the championship, we've got to get them both a little better. And Clint (Bowyer), he's just had some bad luck and when we get things back going for him (like) engines and brakes, and (if) we (can) get some of those things behind us, and get him in the Chase, he'll be strong."
IT LOOKS LIKE THE GIBBS TEAM HAS FOUND SOMETHING NEW. HAVE THEY FOUND THE NEWEST TRICK OR WHAT IS IT? "No, I think it's more about the fact that today there is so much engineering involved with these cars and there are so many little details. Every little detail means so much on these race cars today. And you can't put your finger on one thing, but if you put your hand on a lot of little things, it can make a difference on the track. And that's what they've done. They've found a lot of little things just like RCR. Roush will be back with their stuff. They ran good last week. Hendrick has been running good. It's just a tough, tough business. We're sitting here with 25 or 30 competitive teams that can win on any day."
WITH SUCH A BIG INVENTORY OF CARS, WHEN YOU HAVE TO MAKE A CHANGE ON A CAR, HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH ALL THAT? "Well, I've got a building sitting full of cars. We're replacing every car; the difference in the wing and the spoiler, we're having to replace those cars and build all new cars a little at a time. We started retro-ing some of them but now, every new car we just try to make them better and better because of the spoiler."
IS IT TIME FOR NASCAR TO CONSIDER THE TEST BAN. ARE YOU HEALTHY ENOUGH THAT YOU COULD DO SOME TESTING, AND IF SO, WHAT WOULD THAT BE? "I don't think the economy right now; it's so expensive to test. We still do some testing but we do it at local or closer tracks that we can run at. I think doing the tests at Charlotte and doing some open tests like that would be the way to do it. Pick five or six a year at some of the tracks that are a little closer to us where we don't have all the overnight stays. You could open Richmond, Charlotte and this is a great test area here. That's me seeing it but if I owned the track at Vegas, I'd say hey I want them out here testing. But it's so expensive when you've got to go out on these long tests."
SO YOU WOULD BE IN FAVOR OF TESTING AT TRACKS CLOSE BY? "I think it they picked four or five race tracks that we're going to test on, no difference in the Nationwide cars testing at Daytona the other week, I think the way they're doing some of the tire testing today is really helping organizations out. Now you've got more organizations that can go test. I think the open day test, like we did here at Charlotte and some of the open day testing that we've done. I could see doing four or five of those a year.
"We are not healthy enough to open this thing up today for testing. I think there can be a limited number like we were talking about. Two or three open tests per year, just to check some things out. And the closer we can do it from home, the more economical it is."
WHAT ABOUT TESTING AT DAYTONA AFTER THEY REPAVE THE TRACK? "They'll have a test day for us for sure after tire testing. Once the tire testing is done I'm sure they'll open it up a day early and let us run or they'll have a test day for sure."
DO YOU KNOW WHEN DAYTONA WILL BE READY FOR A TIRE TEST? "I haven't talked to anyone to know really."
THE ASPHALT COMPOUND THAT WE'RE USING AT ALL THESE NEW TRACKS IS SO SMOOTH, THAT THE TIRES DON'T WEAR. ONE OF THE THINGS YOU LIKE AT DAYTONA IS THE FACT THAT IT WEARS THE TIRES SO THERE IS A GAP BETWEEN FOUR FRESH TIRES AND FOUR USED TIRES. WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE THEM US A BIGGER AGGREGATE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT? No, no. I don't think it needs to be done through the asphalt. Goodyear does a great job. That's one reason the competition is so much better this year. The better they come with a tire and there's more racing, the better the racing we're going to see."
ON THE IMPORTANCE OF WINNING AT CHARLOTTE, WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER ABOUT WHAT DALE SR. THOUGHT ABOUT DALE JR. WINNING THE ALL-STAR RACE HERE? "Oh, it was a big night. I remember that very well. And I remember the first time we came here under the lights to race. It was almost the same feel as a Saturday night short track race. And it was almost ran like that. But he was so proud that Dale Junior won that race."
