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.

We had a very happy, relaxing get away. The house is located close to various places to visit. Jim Thorpe, Hawk Falls, a butterfly farm. The property was perfect for our family. The three levels of the chalet were what we needed. The amenities are well thought out. I really recommend this property if you are looking for a family get away.

Spacious living areas, attractively furnished and very clean. We were amazed that all beds were made when we arrived, which was wonderful after our long drive there. The three kids who were with us enjoyed all the games, and the men loved the huge TV for watching a couple games. Hot tub was especially nice after hiking and white water rafting, and s'mores by the outside fire were fun. We have stayed in other properties but this was the best.

Beautiful home with nice ammentities

We planned this trip to get are grown kids together. Each family member that entered smiled and said, “This is nice!” Great hot tub, fire pit and movie room. Also enjoyed the pool, lake and nearby walking trails. Shades of death sounds like a bad/difficult trail but it was actually my favorite. Host is very responsive. Highly recommended place to stay.

Beautiful setting, nice lake with kayak rentals and a nice beach area for the kids and a community pool too. If you rent a kayak, paddle board or pedal boat, make sure you have 20’s, that don’t accept bills over that or credit cards.

August Poconos Getaway

The house was in a nice neighborhood and easily accessible. Desired activities were a short drive away, so proximity was great. The house was clean and as advertised, but could use a few things when considering the young children we had with us (1-4 yrs). Outlet covers, step stools for washing hands, child-oriented outdoor games (although the giant connect 4 was a huge hit!), yard cleanup (many stones and loose grass in the grassy areas where we wanted to play), and small deck chairs would be good additions. The wifi was great for a large group and the TV/Lounge setups were nice. It might be a good idea to have the cleaning team scan through TVs to log out prior guests from their access as we found some still connected.Overall, we enjoyed the stay and had fun at the pool, the beach and walking the neighborhood between vacation activities.

Andy, our host was very responsive and accommodating making our check-in and communication seamless. We will definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a getaway to the mountains.
