Nice house, room for everyone
We were in the area for a family wedding. Our group included adults 50+ and 80+ as well as a 12 year old. Great for the seniors to have a first floor bedroom and bath. An additional primary bedroom with bath and 2 more bedrooms and shared bath upstairs made sure there was room for everyone. Great to have the ping pong and other games downstairs. Be prepared if you are not used to mountain roads. Host was ver communicative and helpful.

Beautiful Home in Remote Pick County
Our home was all set for our visit, very clean and well equipped. We enjoyed the remote location, but within a resort area with access to food/amenities without having to drive a long distance to a store. The home backs up to a ski resort (Big Bear) and is a beautiful area for hiking Everything provided was fresh/clean. We had a wonderful weekend!

Wonderful Weekend Getaway
This was an amazing family weekend getaway! The house was beautiful, very well appointed and extremely clean! It had all the amenities and then some to make our time there even more enjoyable. The fact that we could walk 150 feet to get to the slopes was an experience we will never forget. Phil and Susan were the ideal hosts - very easy to work with and super responsive when needed. Definitely recommend!

Enjoyable family stay
We stayed here in early autumn to visit the natural and historic areas nearby on the upper Delaware River. The house was spacious and the kitchen was particularly well equipped. The location was convenient to the sites we wanted to see. It is situated in a wooded area and one can walk to the ski slopes. There is adequate overhead lighting but we would have appreciated a few reading lamps in the common area and bedrooms. Renters should be aware that they are responsible for disposing of trash at a community compacting station. The hosts were excellent at communicating with us and ensuring everything went well.

Great Stay
House was as advertised, in a great community with plenty of amenities and activities to keep everyone occupied. Great home to rent with the family. Plenty of space and very comfortable. Ping Pong table added to the enjoyment. Took advantage of the backyard bbq and deck many evenings. Owners were extremely responsive, informative and a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend this property.

A quiet and clean house tucked away in the woods
My friends and I plan a trip every year together and Susan and Philip's home was wonderful! It was so clean, quiet, and enough rooms for all of us. We used every part of the house, including the outdoor grill and seating area. The house is newly renovated, and the bathrooms were super clean. Susan and Philip were great with communicating, had absolute no problems there. They answered all questions I had and were very accommodating. We took advantage of the community lake, which the house includes passes for. We even went kayaking around the lake, which was a highlight of the trip. The house has beach chairs and towels. My friends enjoyed playing tennis. It was a great trip! Also, the house is located in a dead end so it's very safe for those who may have children. We saw chalk art from the previous people who stayed, brought back memories from my childhood. Highly recommend staying here for a quiet getaway.

Perfect getaway!
We had a great time staying in the ski in and ski out house. The location was great and the house was very clean and well stocked. The grill and wood burning fireplace were both a perfect addition. Very comfortable beds and plenty of room for our family. The bathrooms had heated floors and the basement mud room was perfect for undressing from the mountain. Great host and we look forward to returning for another visit. Ski big bear is a great small family mountain and the food at the on-site restaurant was great.

Amazing house!
This property was one of the best we've experienced in all of our travels. The house was immaculately clean, and was exactly as described on the website. Very well appointed! The owners are incredible as well.....very easy to communicate with and truly care about your satisfaction with the house and your overall stay. So much more personal than when renting through an agency. We hope to be back again!

We absolutely loved our stay here! The house and the community are PERFECT for families with young children, and our kids had the best time here this summer. The owners are wonderful hosts -- I can't say enough good things about them -- and the property is clean, beautifully renovated and modern, all while close to nature and ski/beach. We can't wait to come back!

Beautiful Pocono Getaway
One of the best cabins we have ever rented. Very clean and updated. Owners are very responsive & helpful. They went out of their way to ensure we had a perfect stay. The Masthope community area is beautiful. The Ski Big Bear slopes are practically in your backyard. Our family of 10 enjoyed the daily visits from the white tailed deer & wild turkeys. It was the perfect spot to start & end each day.

A Gem in the Woods
What more is there to say about this Gem of a property other than it was an amazing experience from beginning to end. The house is absolutely beautiful, and sits on an amazingly serene and quiet cul de sac adjacent to the ski slopes. We stayed during the summer so there was no activity on the slopes but we were able to walk right out of the backyard onto the slopes for some up close nature walks with the kids. I could see this being an awesome convenience when there's actually snow on the ground. A great aspect about this is even though you're close to the slopes, the buffer of forest is large enough that it is still private and quiet if there was activity on the slopes. Regarding the house, this place is awesome. Starting on the main floor, you've got plenty of space to spread out (we had 4 adults and 3 kids ages 6 and under). The kitchen is brand new and great for cooking. We were able to eat outside (and BBQ) most nights on the large deck in the back which was very relaxing. We also spent a night in the dining room which has it's own separate room off the kitchen which makes it perfect for family dinner. The bedroom on the 1st floor is great as it has a hallway pocket door to provide some privacy to the bedroom and adjacent bathroom and you can still access the deck from the dining room side. Up stairs the 3 bedrooms are all very large and provide more than enough room to accommodate 7-8 people comfortably (2 beds and 2 bunk beds) with 2 bathrooms, 1 of which is an on-suite. Downstairs in the basement there is a ping pong table as well as a TV area with movies and games. It's the perfect setting for some fun. Did I mention the house has 6 flat screen TV's and a whole house sound system!! The kids (and adults) had some great dance parties! All in all the Masthope Mountain Community was a wonderful time, we enjoyed the pool and the adjacent bar, the ski lodge restaurant, the arcade, the lake (paddleboat with 6 people! and fishing with the kids!) and some golf about 20 mins away. Clearly we also enjoyed just unwinding in the quite serenity of the house and surroundings. Finally, the owners (both Phil and Sue) were extremely helpful and accommodating from beginning to end, making sure to check in just enough to ensure our stay was perfect. The house was also very clean and tidy upon our arrival. We definitely plan to come back during other seasons to see what the community is like in the fall and winter.

Definitely would stay again
Everyone had a great time in this house! It was all completely and thoughtfully renovated. The speakers that connected to our phones and played throughout the house were a big hit. Everything was clean and the owners were extremely helpful with everything from Check in/out to including information about everything Masthope has to offer. Would definitely stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Philip Balzafiore

Host profile image
My wife and I rented a house in Masthope ourselves for the last 6 years, at times for an entire season. We came across this house in early 2017 and immediately fell in love with it. We thought to rent the house to others while we aren't using it because of the wonderful experiences our family has had in all of those years renting in Masthope.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property in 2017 almost on the spot because of its incredible location (winter ski-in, ski-out, private culdesac in the summer, spring and fall), extreme cleanliness and well-kept features.

What makes this property unique

Ski-in, ski out direct slope access in winter, private culdesac location, located in the amenity-filled Masthope community.
