We had a wonderful time at the house. It is such a cool place and our kids really enjoyed the game room downstairs. Location is awesome. Weather didn't work out for us, but the house was such a nice place to just hang out and relax. Owners were super easy to reach if anything came up!

We had a fun weekend staying in this house. 6 little girls loved the bunk beds in the basement. They enjoyed exploring the trail to the creek and the bonfire was nice in the morning and evening. We went to Winterfest in Jim Thorpe. It wasn’t the snowy weekend we were hoping for as it was unseasonably warm but still a relaxing getaway.

This house was great with spaces to sleep and common areas. We loved the beck and fire pit. The basement had many amenities for our group, and we spent our last night down there. We had a blast and would recommend this house.

Awesome place. Loved relaxing by the fire in the evenings and having morning coffee on the deck. The house was very clean and had lots of games for the kids and adults. Close to rafting and hickory run state park but secluded and surrounded by nature.

Nice Getaway!
This property is convenient to the PA turnpike but nicely secluded in the woods. The home is spacious and well appointed. We enjoyed the deck, game room, and the open floor plan which was nice when you have several people and it is easy to monitor kids. The only minor disappointment was the outdoor grill, it was in very poor condition so we did not use it. The property owner was very quick to respond to questions and had very useful information about the area and the property, If we would visit the area in the future I certainly would consider staying at the property again.

Plenty of space to relax
Between the large deck, comfy living room, long kitchen table, and incredible game room and bar downstairs, there's a ton of space to relax and have fun. The teens in particular enjoyed the basement with its pool table and bunk beds. Jen was extraordinarily quick with responses before and during our stay, even when she was on her own vacation.

We traveled with another family. 4 adults and 5 kids. We had such a great time. The kids had a blast with all the extra space available to them. As well as the games. The house was better than expected. Spotless and huge! We took the kids for a nature hike, traveled to camelback for tubing and enjoyed the amenities. We can’t wait to go back.

Fantastic country home
The owners are very responsive and kind. They responded within minutes to any messages (no matter the importance) they provided a wonderful experience for our family. If we end up in the area again we would definitely do business with them again. The house, it was a beautiful house and the craftsmanship was wonderful. For a Christmas setting it was like something from a movie (with or without snow). If you are looking for an adorable place to stay of the beaten path in the Jim Thorpe area, this house is definitely the right place for you. Reminder it is remote and country living. However not but a few minutes from several towns for activities. Be them summer or winter activities this house is placed great for all. The house was a wonderful place to stay and in 6 days there our twins thought of it as home. I have only the best things to say about the house, I truly can't express how wonderful it is.

This property has everything for multifamily guests or a large group of friends. Location is private but not too isolated. All the local attractions were easily accessible. The home itself is so comfortable and impressive in every way. Hosts were great - prompt and clear communication throughout the process. Looking forward to coming back for this one again!

The location was perfect for our family trip. The kids loved the lake, we spent all day there and even had the beach all to ourselves one day. Each of our 3 nights we built a fire and the surrounding was ideal. We explored the trail down the creek as well. The house was well maintained and great space for our needs.

Post Vaccinated Getaway
We were all vaccinated and ready to spend a weekend together after a challenging year. This cabin was a great place to both relax and reconnect as well as take in the local sights. The cabin was very clean and had lots of spaces to spread out. We ate our meals on the deck, made a nice fire in the fire pit, and played pool and foosball for hours. The instructions for using everything in the cabin were clear and the owners were just a text away if needed. We left refreshed and happy!!

Such a lovely, cozy home. We were so pleased. Had a blast down at the bar playing pool, family foosball tournament and blackjack. Kitchen was great for making a full Thanksgiving dinner with all the fixings. Owner was super responsive and so nice.

Exceeded expectations
The chalet was even more beautiful and accommodating than the listing suggested. We stayed in wooded luxury for a relaxing Bachelorette weekend in the Poconos. We would have been happy just staying in and enjoying all the home and surroundings offered, but ventured out to explore Jim Thorpe, go ziplining, and out to dinner at one of the owners suggestioned restaurants (which was delicious and so close!) Jennifer and Garry were so friendly and helpful before, during, and at the end of our stay - their teenage son even jumped in to assist us with a door locking issue. I can’t recommend this beautiful place enough, and am already making plans with my family to visit again this winter. Thank you so much for a delightful weekend!
