My family had a wonderful stay for a long weekend vacation. The host was excellent. The house had great amenties that my family very much enjoyed! We loved the hot tub and games the most. Enjoyed our time at the lake beach area. Comfortable family room and bedrooms. Kitchen well stocked with pots, pans, cutlery, etc. Perfect spot for our family and bonus that we could bring our furry family member as well.

Lovely, well-appointed clean home in a quiet wooded neighborhood. Cozy bedrooms and a lounge with gas fireplace. Plenty of space for teens who need their own room. Lots of games, perfect for staying in during rainy weather. Location is close to lots of fun activities in the Poconos. Would definitely come back!

We had an amazing stay! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The hot tub was perfect for relaxing, and having a washer and dryer made the trip so much more convenient.The game room was such a fun bonus, and the TVs and internet worked great the entire time. It truly felt like a home away from home.We especially appreciated that they welcomed our dog, Titus. The host was incredibly responsive and answered all of our questions quickly, which made the entire experience smooth and stress-free.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this cabin to anyone who needs a relaxing getaway.

100% Recommend

I really enjoyed my stay here. The house was in a great location, with a lot of attractions nearby. The house is beautiful and very clean. It was very easy to get in contact with the owner. The community the house is located in is very quiet which was nice. I would definitely stay here again the next time I take a trip out to the Poconos.

Family get together in October

The house is cozy and clean and had all of the amenities needed. There were nice touches of fall decor throughout the house. The lake and fall leaves were beautiful. The deer were plentiful and very friendly. There was plenty to do at the house and in the area. The host was very attentive.

Wonderful chalet retreat in a quiet community!

Jannie’s Nest is lovely! It was so clean and beautifully decorated for Fall. Smelled amazing in every single room. Very clean hot tub, clean bathrooms, and comfy beds. The owners left us the sweetest welcome gift bag with a bottle of wine and stuff to make s'more's by the fire pit. Lots of deer to be seen outside from the patio and from our bedroom windows when we woke up. Highly recommend staying here!

Winter Palooza

The property manager as well as the owners were fantastic, 💯 percent responsive. The house was perfect for our party with plenty of room and amenities. We got to meet the owners and they were great people. And especially as a group of nurses we look at cleanliness and it was spot on. Look forward to staying again. Thank you.

We stayed at Jannie's Nest from 7/20:to 7/24. We had a great time. The place was very clean and welcoming with a goodie bag for us and for our dog. It had everything we needed. It was in a quiet community with a private beach, a lake for fishing, deer everywhere and plenty of good restaurants in the area. The hot tub helped to make it an amazing couple of days away for some R & R.The hosts, Joe and Annie, were always available for questions and responded promptly. We would highly recommend Jannie's Nest and hope to stay there again ourselves. Debbie, Dave and Dexter

Perfect Retreat

This place is the perfect family get away. Great space downstairs for kids, including game room. Outside beautiful hot tub area, with lights, fire pit, inside fireplace. Kitchen with everything you need to cook meals. Outside grill. Close to ski slopes (we had a winter retreat). AND they had a delightful gift bag for us that includes s’mores materials for the kids and a bottle of wine for the adults! We’ll definitely be back.
