This is an amazing property! We loved it! One minor inconvenience that should be mentioned is the lack of access to a closet in the master bedroom. It wasn’t a big deal as we just used the closet in the other bedroom but if you have a large group and all bedrooms are utilized it’s something you should plan for. Otherwise no complaints. Communication with the host was excellent and any questions we had were answered quickly

28 Pope Ln

This house was perfect for our bachelor weekend. The house was a lot bigger than we expected and was very nice. We enjoyed the game room, playing pool, the arcade games and poker. The house was in a great location with a short drive to skirmish paintball and then casino! Easy communication and check-in instructions from the host also helped a lot.

Perfect family getaway!

The house was clean and well stocked. We loved the game room but felt the property could use some TLC. The sofa was hard with wood under the cushions and the area rug in the living room was a tripping hazard. Other than this the house was great land we had an awesome stay.

Family Fun

We had a great family vacation. Plenty of space for the kids to spread out and the adults, too! We also went to Camelback Waterpark for the day which was about a 25 minute drive, easy peasy. The supermarket to go to is Ahart's Market in Blakeslee, PA. There's a supermarket, liquor and discount store in the same strip mall. Also, try to swing by Harmony Beverage, they have beer, candy and awesome Adult style slushies!

Good Fun, Great Price, Awesome House

My family and I stayed here during the summer, and we were very happy with the house, the management and the location. The house was fantastic with everything you could want. There was an amazing game room with a pool table, foosball table and two arcade style machines. The patio/deck had a grill that we used nearly everyday! The house is located in a community with a members recreation center that has a pool, beach and tennis courts! All in all, this was a fantastic place to stay.

Spur of the Moment Mountain Get-A-Way

This property is everything and more! It's better than pictured. There was so much space we called 2 family members to join us. The Tweens did not complain about being bored, imagine that. The lake was just a short drive and it was peaceful and easy to keep an eye on the toddlers. I will keep it in mind for the next trip to the lake.

The proximity to the lake and the peaceful environment were definite highlights, especially with toddlers in tow. It’s wonderful to hear that the tweens enjoyed themselves as well.

Cute Place

Very cute spot in the Poconos. The rooms were very nice. The game room was a hit with our group. The grill on the porch was not safe to use. It should have been cleaned more regularly, it caught fire when we turned it on to heat up the grill. I sent a message through the app with no response. Overall a great trip!

Nice Homi

Our stay at this home was very pleasant and accurately described. The house was very clean and well equipped. Everything was ready for us when we arrived. The communication with the owner(s) was excellent. We were continually updated by them from the time we first contacted them until we departed. I recommend staying at the Bear's Lair without hesitation. Thank you for professionalism, competency and hospitality....🙂

Absolutely perfect

This house was awesome. The owners thought of everything. Lives that we didn’t have to pack towels or bedding . They had charging strips everywhere for your phones . Games and books. The house fit 15 of us perfectly. We loved the deck and game/ bar area. The master bedroom was huge. The upstairs was perfect for all the kids. The house layout was great. We spent a day at Hickory Run state park and Kalahari. Will absolutely be back. Highly recommend!!

Check-in is a breeze. There is no gate to Towamensing Trails, so as long as your vehicles are pre-registered, the parking tags found in the rental packet inside the front door are all you need. The 8 lanyards with the community passes are right there, too. Very easy to find. The passes are required to use the pool/lake. There are no pool chairs available to use, and the house had none to offer, so bring your own if you plan to enjoy the pool. The house is nice and could easily accommodate a couple families with several kids. The main reason for the low cleanliness score was the amount of active and abandoned spiderwebs in every room of the house. I know it's the Poconos and there are lots of bugs, but clearly no one is taking a dust broom to any of the corners of the walls, floors, or ceilings. Also, June is high pollen season, and the balcony sure showed it while we were there. It was basically unusable without sweeping it off, but the house had no broom. 6 spent a Dollar General and a little elbow grease fixed that pretty quick. The kitchen is well-appointed, but there is almost no space to store food except the refrigerator. We ended up piling most of our dry goods on the dining table. Overall, it was nice and relaxing. Lots of wildlife walking through the neighborhood. Pretty quiet and easy to get around.

So glad the home was such a nice, relaxing spot in the Poconos — sounds like a great fit for your group with all that wildlife and a quiet vibe to enjoy! Really appreciate the detailed, helpful feedback though — the cobwebs, the lack of a broom, the pool chair situation, and the limited pantry storage are all important notes we'll get passed along so we can do better. Hope to welcome you back anytime!

Great location, house needs a bit of TLC. Overall enjoyed our stay.

Pros:Great location to visit Jim Thorpe, hiking and wineries. Layout of house was nice with 3 floors to spread out. Loved the fireplace. Lighting was adequate. Pac-Man a plus. Also loved deck space.enjoyed watching the deer. Cons: house was dusty, windows dirty. Downstairs bathroom had no heat, too cold to use. None of the toilet seats fit properly. Master shower, faucet control loose and paint peeling off of wall. Couldn’t use towel bar, would fall on floor.Door was easy to unlock, hard to relock. Bed in one of downstairs bedrooms teetered if you sat on bottom. Okay if you were in middle. Air fresheners too strong upon arrival, we had to unplug them and put in a closet.

Good place but needs some TLC

Loved the location and the set up. House was clean and well appointed. Price was great, so I expected some issues. House needs some TLC: -Main sofa was beat up. Wood used under seat cushions. Holes in upholstery. -Rugs in decent shape, not great. Some LVP would go a long way. - rampage arcade game didn’t work - downstairs beds were not comfortable -bunk beads had wood holding up the mattress Seems like a bunch on issues but the house was clean and bathrooms were spotless. For the price, I’d stay here again but a small investment in the property could force an increase in asking price.
