Fun vacation

I booked this house for my husband's 60th birthday as a relaxing getaway. This house was so spacious it had six amazing bedrooms 2 1/2 bathrooms, which we didn't even use all the space. We especially loved the downstairs area with the pool table and the backyard space with the lake.

Great Host & Great Home

The property was well kept and managed well. With one quick stop at the grocery store we were set for our weekend. The cabin is conveniently located near a grocery store. The amenities on the property were all enjoyable. The property owner was quick responding and communicated clearly. Thank you for a great stay!

A weekend escape

Myself and six friends stayed at Inn Kognito to disconnect from everyday life for a weekend. The home was amazing and exactly what we needed. It was very spacious so it didn't feel like we were on top of each other at all. The beds were extremely comfortable. The kitchen, dining space, and living rooms were also 5 stars. Overall the experience was perfect. My friends and I are no considering doing such a trip once a year and if we're back in the Poconos area again, Inn Kognito will be at the top of the list for accomodations.

The cabin being right on the lake provided such a fun and relaxing weekend for my friends and I. The inside is nice and clean, with plenty of room for everyone. The boat, canoe and kayaks are all in great condition and comfortable to ride. The host is very helpful and easy to contact prior and during your stay as well.
