The experience with VRBO was great. The house was beautiful, clean and had plenty of outdoor seating. The house was close to many things so not a far drive for anything we did. I would definitely recommend and would stay again if I had the opportunity.

Birthday Getaway

I reserved this amazing property to celebrate my birthday with friends, and we had an incredible time, enjoying every moment of it. I must emphasize how fantastic the communication with the host was. He responded promptly and professionally, always ready to assist with anything we needed. If you're considering booking a cabin, I highly recommend this one!

We spent a long weekend celebrating a birthday. The property was spotless upon arrival and had everything you could think of for you home away from home. Andy was super responsive and quick in getting back to you with any questions you had. We are already looking to see when we can book another long weekend.

Family Week in the Forest Chalet

Great family week in the Poconos. This property delivered everything that we needed to enjoy a week of family fun. Easy access to beach, pool, craft breweries, and of course the beautiful city of Jim Thorpe. Andy was easy to work with and there were no surprises. Three families shared the vacation home, and each family had a whole floor to themselves. The outside of this property is a beautiful as the inside. Thanks Andy!

Great Family stay

Spent the weekend here with our 3 kids 9,6,2, and our in laws. The kids loved the lower level that featured arcade games, a HUGE TV for movie nights and their favorite shows. The lower level also could access outside where we spent most of our time playing games and in the hot tub. The home was very well kept and even had a starter stock of paper towels,tp,coffee and more. Hawk Falls was a 5 minute drive and a pizza shop and dollar general were 3 minutes away. Very convenient location and the owners were great communicating what to expect!

Perfect get away

We booked Forest Chalet for my daughter’s 22nd Birthday. There were 10 of us and our dog ( myself, my husband and 8 22 year olds) The house was perfect! More than enough room. The girls loved the lower level with all the games. They even popped popcorn. We were 25 minutes from blue mountain, which that’s where they went tubing. Communication was great with Michele. It was a perfect weekend. This house had everything you needed from stocked toilet paper, spices ,, even marshmallows for the fire pit.My daughter and her friends had a great weekend and thank you again Michele & Andy for being a fantastic host

Perfect in the Poconos

This house was wonderful for our stay. My wife and I, along with our 2 daughters, their husbands and our three grandchildren (ages 16, 10, and 6) stayed for 9 days in late July and early August of 2024. The hosts, Michele and Andy, were wonderful and very attentive to our questions. They were so easy to work with and helpful in so many ways. The house fit our needs perfectly.!! It is exactly as described and is well appointed. The community has a clubhouse with a large pool, a very nice beach and a lake where you can rent kayaks or paddle boats. It is close to Lehighton and Jim Thorpe with access to river rafting and biking along the Lehigh river. We had a great time on our family vacation, and would highly recommend this home.

We had the best stay at The Forest Chalet! The house was super clean, cozy, and had plenty of space for all our guests. We were there celebrating my sister’s bachelorette before her big “I Do” in December and it couldn’t have been a better spot! There were so many fun things to do right in the house that we barely left. We had a taco night with margaritas by the basement bar and a movie night on the big comfy couch downstairs. The owners were so friendly and easy to communicate with, which made planning our weekend a breeze. We’d definitely love to stay here again!

My two daughters and their friends stayed for a bachelorette weekend and had a wonderful time. They said the house and location was great. Loved the hot tub and deck to relax. They said there were deer walking around and it was truly an experience. Lake Harmony was beautiful and they had a nice dinner there. Tons to do in the area towns. Jim Thorpe was great and so was East Stroudsburg.
