Property was mostly as described and pictured. Beds were not queen size-they are full size. We have tall sons who have queen beds at home so this was not a guess or complaint-beds were measured. So if you have larger people staying, this should be considered. Otherwise, we had a nice time staying here for our trip. Area is beautiful and the basics were provided, pellet fireplace was so cozy and lovely. We cook a lot so it would have been nice to have more items in the kitchen. We had to buy a bit like large trays to bake on, serving platters/bowls, a sharp knife, can opener. Agree that couch could be upgraded, cushions were always sliding off. Overall, very happy and communication was the best we've ever had. Really appreciate this owner responding so quickly and we would stay here again. Thank you.

Relaxing weekend getaway

In nice safe community with awesome amenities. House was very cozy, loved the deck and the screened in porch. Beds were comfortable. We had a great weekend in nature and even saw some turkeys running around! Only thing we would recommend to get a slip pad underneath the living room and dining room rugs. The rugs slide around on the hardwood

Mountain getaway

The property was clean minus the floors which turned your feet black if you’re barefoot. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. The couches are outdated. The AC units did not work the entire time so that was not ideal.

Nice mountain getaway.

Bill was an awesome host. Instantaneous responses to a couple of questions we had. Nice set up. Loved the wood pellet stove. Pools and hot tubs had that Pocono feel for sure but hey that’s where we were. 10 minutes from Shawnee. Thanks Bill. Hay New Year. Ps place was super clean so not sure what that other reviewer was talking about.

Cozy stay

Overall it was a nice place to stay. Great area, room for 4 adults, wildlife outside. However, I feel there were a few things lacking: cleanliness of towels, kitchen missing a few key items like wineglasses, the landscaping is neglected, outdoor porch looked it hadn’t been touched in a long time, the inside is very humid even with the AC running, the doors stick, etc. With a little effort and attention to detail to make it more of a “home” it could be a nicer place. But I believe at peak summer in the poconos it was a good value for the price, especially with how many people it can accommodate.

A little worse for wear...

Renting the property was a very easy process. The owner responded to every question in a very kind and timely way. The house was more worn down than the photos show. The kitchen lacked basic things such as a pitcher, mixing bowls, baking pans. Cable TV only offers a few channels. The entry door was very difficult to open and close. On the plus side, beds were comfortable, bathrooms were adequate, and climate controls worked well. Hiking in the area was wonderful with lots of breathtaking views and well-maintained trails.

Would have loved to give 5 stars

I was very much looking forward to a four day weekend getaway with my family and thought I found the perfect place. The owner answered right away, and even allowed us to bring our second dog. It was unfortunate that the cleaning crew did not do their part in cleaning the house before our arrival. The house had dust and animal fur everywhere, dead and alive lady bugs all over, dirty dishes IN cabinets, the windows had mold growing on the bottom and the bathrooms needed to be wiped down prior to use. I let the owner know I didn’t believe it was cleaned properly, and he called me right away. He was surprised as it had not been rented recently prior to us being there. Well I think with it being vacant, the dust and bugs accumulated and the cleaning service just changed the sheets (I hope) they smelled fresh, but that can be deceiving. I believe the owner has good intentions but should assess his property more thoroughly before having it rented out.

Terrific Thanksgiving weekend trip at the Pocono Mnts

We stayed at the house for the first time for a 4 day Holiday weekend. The house is located in a gated community. The owner insured our names and our friends names were added. We did not have any difficulty to pass the security gate. When we arrived the house was very warm. Everything was clean and neat. The house has a lot of day light. We stayed 3 nights and our friends only visited us for 1 night. We also went to check the local community and the indoor pool area. Only 1 pool was open and it was a small pool and very crowded. We changed our mind to go for a swim. During the 4 day weekend we went hiking and visited several waterfalls at the Delaware Water Gap area. We loved it. The house had a fire place and at night we all sat in the living room area with a glass of wine and enjoyed the evening movie. We cooked mostly using the stove. Highly recommend to visit this house. We hope to come again when it is snowing. Mariya

It's okay

The location was nice, central to activities we had planned. However the beds are not "queen sized" and were uncomfortable. The house was very humid regardless of what we did with the AC. The price isn't necessarily worth it just for having the extra options for the pool and hot tub (hot tub not on property) and tennis courts.

Bushkill chalet

This property was nice and cozy and was very nice for a friends weekend getaway. We encountered a couple of problems. The hefty cleaning fee should have been put to use. The bathrooms needed cleaning before use. Dust everywhere. Washcloths were non-existent, having only microfiber cleaning cloths. Despite this, we had a wonderful time.

Perfect Getaway for a few days

The house and location were a perfect few day getaway for my small group of 4 adults and 14 year old golden doodle dog. We enjoyed Dingmans Falls and Bushkill Falls as well as the outdoor pool and hot tub that was close to the house. The house is exactly as described and we had a wonderful time. Make sure to eat at or get food from nearby Marluccis Deli which makes excellent sandwiches as well as Italian dishes for dinner - the best food in the Poconos IMO at very reasonable prices.
