The Masthope View House--Chalet Overlooking Delaware River with Fab Game Room!

3 Story Chalet with UNOBSTRUCTED VIEWS up and down the Delaware River! Your senses will come alive as you see for miles across the Delaware River and into New York State. Watch the fog burn off in the mornings, storms move in and out, rafters and kayakers glide down the river, and the eagles and hawks soar! Enjoy outdoor living on a Trex deck with patio furniture and grill. Sing songs, enjoy your favorite beverage and make s'mores down at the fire circle overlooking the river. This fab home has been completely renovated from top to bottom and features tasteful décor throughout, an open great room, gourmet chef's kitchen and dining area with patio sliders directly overlooking the water! 2 bedrooms on main level with full bath and large living room with 85 inch QLED 4-K UHD Smart TV, a Blue Ray DVD player and a Marshall Woburn II Bluetooth speaker (to play your tunes!). 2 more bedrooms in lower level with another full bathroom and a den/entertainment area with 65 inch QLED 4-K UHD Smart TV with a Blue Ray DVD player.

The best birthday retreat I could've imagined

Exactly what I wanted for a celebration with family and friends. The views, the amenities - for a bunch of city folk, it just truly provided an ultimate exhale and I couldn't be more grateful. Jeff was always available to respond to any concern/question - spending each night at that fire pit overlooking the river and mountains, watching the eagles pass...bliss. Highly recommend!

Beautiful, comfortable, fun home

The view did not disappoint. It was gorgeous and peaceful. We appreciated the kind s'mores goodies and pre built fire in the fire pit. Easy to enjoy right away. The game room was even more fun than we thought it would be, providing hours of entertainment and laughs. Kitchen had everything we needed and more. We all had a lovely time here! Only feedback would be having maybe some more pillow options and a mattress pad on the one queen bed that was a little hard for our tastes. That's it though! Overall it is the best vrbo we have ever stayed in, truly!

Wow! Perfect for the whole family!

Wow! Our stay at the Masthope View House exceeded our expectations (which were already quite high from the amazing reviews). Like others said, the view was even more phenomenal in person. Sitting on the rocking chairs or playing family games (there is a whole bookshelf of games/puzzles) out on the porch in front of that view will be precious family memories we will always remember! The house itself was beautiful, fully stocked, and meticulously clean. The arcade was super fun and entertained the whole family (toddler-teen) Jeff was extremely nice, easy to communicate with, and responded very quickly. He provided a detailed welcome packet that anticipated and answered every question we had. The Masthope community also exceeded our expectations. Between the lake/boating, multiple swimming pools, splash pads, mini golf, stables/petting zoo, sport courts (etc.), toddlers to teens and adults were again completely entertained. We were very sad to leave and hope to return in the future! Thank you, Jeff, for such a fantastic stay!

Excellent vacation

My family and I wanted to thank you for giving us a chance to stay in this beautiful house. We've been coming to the Poconos every summer for the past 10 years and stayed in different communities. This house was by far the best house we ever rented and exceeded our expectations. The photos on the website don't do the justice, the view is amazing, the deck is super comfortable. We spent countless hours over there. The house was very clean and well prepared for renters. My wife enjoyed cooking in a well stocked kitchen. The game room was a paradise for kids and even adults. If circumstances allow, we'll definitely come back next summer again.

Perfection!!!

We visit the pocono mountains every year for vacation. This was by far one of the best. The house has everything you need and more. The views are even more spectacular in person. The kids loved the game room and we had space for everyone. The kids enjoyed making s'mores at the firpit and I loved having my morning coffee on the deck. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous home we did not want to leave. My granddaughter asked if we could stay there forever. Lol. I said I wish.

A little piece of heaven here on earth

Let me start by saying my husband and children were not happy we were going to the mountains in stead of the seashore this year. Good thing I am the one who makes the vacation plans. When we got to our destination, I was a little nervous the family would be disappointed. My husband and I arrived first and when we saw the view from the back deck, I knew it was going to be a good week. As I was texting my youngest son to see what their ETA was, he appeared on the back deck with a big smile yelling through the sliding glass door "this place is awesome!" That in itself is a testimony coming from a 15 year old. My oldest was right behind him giving me the thumbs up. The look on their face when they saw the game room was priceless. The house was very spacious and so comfortable. My 2 sisters and their husbands joined us for a couple of days, and the deck and fire pit were well used. The view pictured here overlooking the river is nothing compared to the sunrise. We got a lot of awesome pictures. So quiet and peaceful. The stars are so bright at night it seems like you can reach out and touch them. Our last day we had a visitor cutting through the backyard. It was probably the same black bear my sister and I saw when we were out walking. I highly recommend this as a vacation destination. My husband is already talking about going back next year. Thank you for opening you home to us. What a week we had.

Peace AND Fun, you can have it all!

The Masthope house is located within the Masthope community which offers beach/lake activities, pool use at the kid friendly (and grown up friendly) pool and tiki bar. There is also river access, horseback riding and petting zoo (which my 3 year old loved) and weekly activities that rotate throughout the year. But what makes this house stand out from the rest is the picturesque view from the entire backyard of the house. The house looks out onto the Delaware river and you can see the mountains in New York that create the most spectacular and peaceful view at all times of the day. You wake up to fog rising over the river and sit fireside at night to watch shooting stars. The property is quiet and offers all the amenities you could need. Our family enjoyed our stay from the 5 month old all the way to the retiree's. We highly recommend, and will be channeling that view as we return and adjust to reality!

All Around Wonderful!

What a wonderful experience we had staying at this property with a total of three families! The home is very clean and up to date, while including all the amenities need for a comfortable stay. The views were simply breathtaking with a large, upper deck off the dining/living room, a lower patio off of the tv room, as well as a firepit setup just steps down the property. The game room was so fun for our kids, which truly kept them entertained while back at the house. The owner was amazing and available for any questions we had along the way. We look forward to spending another vacation up there soon.

Summer Vacation in Masthope!

We recently stayed at the Masthope View House which included myself, my husband, our two children ages 14 & 12 along with my parents and ..my sister, brother in law and niece…As soon as we arrived at the house we were all blown away by the SPECTACULAR views, as mentioned in previous reviews the pictures of the house do not do the house justice! The inside of the house is beautifully furnished and was extremely CLEAN .When we arrived we all felt right at home…Of course the game room was a HUGE hit with all of the kids especially but the adults enjoyed it as well..We also all enjoyed watching the Yankees games on the huge TV in the living room…The fire pit was also so much fun roasting s’mores and enjoying the beautiful views of the Delaware River…The seating area both inside and outside easily accommodated us (we were a party of 9) Last and most important Jeff is a wonderful host very easy to communicate with.. He was so accommodating with any questions that we had and replied very quickly…If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway house and a wonderful host book this house you will not be disappointed !!!

Family reunion after three years

Jeff was a wonderful and accommodating host. He was always prompt in his replies and responses. He was easy to work with and understood our needs. The house is beautiful and spacious. You could sit on the deck and watch the beauty of nature for hours, especially the frequent deer visits. We enjoyed the lovely fire pit, which was well-stocked and easy to maintain. The game room was wonderful and a favorite of every member, children and adults alike. We definitely look forward to visiting again and will treasure the memories we made.

Family Fun for Everyone

The house is great but the views make this an exceptional rental. Similar to other reviews, the pics don’t do it justice. The game room provides full entertainment for the kids, the open floor concept allowed everyone to be together and provided much needed space for our family, and the breathtaking views , fire pit, and huge deck made this the perfect rental. The communication and details from the owner were top notch, thanks again Jeff. Highly recommend this rental for anyone!

About the host

Hosted by Jeffrey

Host profile image
Hi everyone!
My family and I thank you for considering staying at The Masthope View House! We love the house and stay frequently, especially during the Christmas/New Year holiday season. The house has complimentary WiFi throughout, and so we get a lot of work accomplished at the house as well. Knowing that we'll be able to sit on the deck at the end of the day with a glass of vino enjoying the view is really quite motivating! :) Feel free to ask me any questions you might have.
Best,
Jeff

Why they chose this property

We tell everyone that we bought the view and the owners threw the house in for free. Lol As some reviewers have commented, the view never gets old. They also say it's better than the pictures (not sure how to take that, as I took the pictures!). The view changes during the day as the sun moves across the sky, and it changes based on weather conditions. The house is designed for both grown ups and kids. The kids can be enjoying themselves in the game room, while the adults are on the deck enjoying their favorite beverages. Then, the adults and kids come together down at the fire circle for s'mores, stories and laughter.

What makes this property unique

The view, the view, the view. Killer game room. 5-6 minute drive to skiing, the lodge, the pools, the lake, miniature golf, tennis courts, basketball court, petting zoo, etc., etc., etc.
