My kiddo wanted to stay in a cabin and have a fire in a fire pit, and this fit the bill perfectly. Clean and tidy and not remote--in a tiny neighborhood near all the tourist stuff but feels far away from that.
A great little cabin in the woods, my family and I had an amazing couple of days. We would definitely recommend staying, the hosts were excellent communicators.
Visited for our 2nd time.. did the waterparks and hit some local restaurants. Great location. Easy drive to everything. All 5 of us had plenty of room and enjoyed ourselves. Will be back.
We stayed here for our anniversary. It was a nice quiet get away. Definitely do Hawk Falls Trail and ziplining. Easy to find the cabin, near everything

Nice little getaway and acquaint cabin perfect for the night even had a fire pit going👍
The cabin was exactly what we needed to get out of the city for a few days. The property was perfect, with great updates but still felt rustic. We loved the fire pit and the kitchen was well equipped.
My family and I had a wonderful and comfortable stay here at the cabin. It was the perfect spot to come back to after a day of activities in Mount Pocono. outlets were close and we had a wonderful breakfast out. The kids loved exploring the wooded property. We will definitely come back and stay again in the warmer months so we can enjoy the outdoor fire pit!
Only downfall was the Ice on the ground leading up to the Cabin. Had to be very careful walking towards entrance. otherwise everything was very nice and clean inside.

Cabin
The cabin was quite cozy and clean. We would have rated our stay higher had it not been for the people renting the property next to it, who played loud music and banged pots and pans until midnight. These things happen, and it's just the luck of the draw with other Vrbo people trying to have their version of a good time. Maybe we'll have better luck next time.
This was a great place for a weekend hiking trip. Views off the porch are beautiful, and many many deer at dusk. Kitchen is efficient, lots of games, and book selection is varied. Chris was very responsive.
I found the place to be very cozy and well decorated. I was very pleased. I will look to stay there again.. Chris, who managed the property, was very responsive and helpful in making my stay enjoyable.
Leaf season and the cabin was more than charming. Although it felt like we were remote, we were very close to the Gap, and hikes. A neighbor was friendly and interesting with tales of the community. The house had all modern amenities we needed. The host was immediately responsive before and during our stay. Can’t wait to go back!!!
The cabin is very nice and well kept, very clean... The sofa was not very comfortable. Chris was very responsive and helpful. We couldn't find much to do in the area so that was really they only downfall. Our little dog had a blast exploring.
We just needed to stay in the area for 2 nights for a special family event. This cabin was perfect! Wish we could have stayed longer. We loved the tea selection and the convenient electric kettle! Our host was a good communicator and helpful with questions. We would stay here again for sure!
Only bad thing is I'm fairly certain I left my favorite sweatshirt! :(
This cabin was really a great alternative to getting a hotel. The host was easily accessible and the space was really nice. This location was close to everything we needed (casino, Walmart, diner)
Only downside was the neighbors up the road that had a random 48 hr party with a bunch of cars that blocked the entire road and driveway. They did move their cars without issue though. But other than that, the stay was peaceful, much needed and comfortable. Would definitely recommend.

This is a quaint, rustic cabin close to lots of things. We very much enjoyed sitting on the large and open deck watching wildlife. The cabin was equipped with everything you might need.
