Our family had amazing time, the property was perfect for our stay. Corynne was quick to respond and answer any questions that we had. We would definitely return back!
Our family of 6 had a great time staying here. It was above our expectations. The neighborhood was very peaceful and deer came to visit the yard every morning and evening. The kids loved seeing the deer and we were able to go for walks on the road without very much traffic at all. We also love that itâs very close to Hickory Run State Park, which we visited multiple times during our stay. We definitely recommend this house to anyone who wants a peaceful getaway in the woods. Thank you for a wonderful time!
We rented the house for a night, for a little birthday getaway, and it was absolutely amazing!!! My main thing i wanted was a hottub and a comfortable spot to spend the night and we got just that!!! Would definitely come again!:)
My friends and I stayed here to get together for my birthday. It was a great house- everything was totally amazing. The owner was very responsive and helped out with everything I needed. Unfortunately the row boats werenât available when we stayed but overall great stay!
We had a great time at this house. We stayed with friends for the weekend and skied at Blue Mountain (about 30 mins away). House was clean, kitchen was fully equipped and the hot tub was great! Corynne was a pleasure to work with and very responsive!
The property was accurate to the listing , clean , and inviting. The procedures for disposing of trash at the compactor and utilizing the other amenities were also well laid out and easy to follow. My group was at an all day event for most of our stay, but the clean and warm house to come back to turned the trip from good to great
We stayed in this house for 3 days with my family. The location was nice, and the house was clean, which we appreciated. However, the house itself is quite old, and so is the furniture, especially the sofa and chairs â theyâre worn out and sagging and really need replacing. Another downside was the trash disposal â itâs a bit inconvenient to take it so far. The stores are also located quite a distance away. On the bright side, we loved the hot tub â it was very clean â and enjoyed the billiards table as well. Overall, it was a mixed experience.
We loved our stay at this property.
It is centrally located to lots of places to see. Great restaurants in the area. The host was very friendly and responsive. The property was very clean.
Hosts were very responsive, house was clean, great temperature control and nice natural lighting in the front room and kitchen area. Close to turnpike.
Some things we wish we had known BEFORE we booked:
The property does not sleep 10, but will accommodate 6 if they share beds. Both of the sleeper sofa beds are broken.
The property has a LOT of rules. You need to submit license plate info BEFORE you arrive (a hassle for large groups & last minute changes). Hosts were patient, but did email repetitively for this info even weeks before it was due.
We were instructed to wear wrist bands the entire tripâEven when not using community amenities.
There was a sign for the hot tub warning us to shower after use because of possible cancer causing chemicals. Ick.
Another sign posted if the toilet backs up we may be charged if they suspect we flushed something not allowed. We worried we may be blamed if previous guests broke the âruleâ.
YOU are expected to take the trash with you when you leave. There is a drop off spot on the community grounds for that.
Towels: there are not enough shower towels for 8 people (had to use some unused beach towels from the hot tub).
There is a long unavoidable divot about a foot away from the front porch. Everyone tripped on it, one of our guests sprained her ankle.
We reported a broken door handle, hole in wall and running toilet upon arrival. Hosts said it will be addressed.
The Mountain Chalet was a perfect spot for everything we wanted to do in the Poconos. Horseback riding, white water rafting, Camelback Resort, Jim Thorpe train & trolley tours, hiking Hawk Falls are all within 30-35 minutes. The pool table was an awesome after dinner family activity and the hot tub was perfect for relaxing with a cold beverage at the end of the day. The community amenities were also perfect. The lake, pool, snack bar and restaurant were all clean and well maintained and a very short ride from the house.
The house was very cozy, everything was as shown in the pictures. All the beds were extremely comfortable, there were plenty of cooking utensils, spices and daily cleaning supplies.
The only 2 things I would recommend:
1. A tune up of the hot tub. It's an older model and the jets were a little weak, (just personal preference).
2. The couch felt a little lumpy but we were busy enough where it was barely used.
Everything about the house, amenities and location made our Poconos vacation absolutely perfect!
