Beautiful area, house was well kept, clean, beautiful inside with a great deck and backyard area. Kitchen was state of the art, everything we could have wanted. Great for handicapped access and accessibility. Will come back again!
It was a reunion of friends who grew up together because one friend’s son got married at Woodloch Pines! We had such a good time and there was plenty of room for us all with our spouses. Unfortunately, it rained so we were unable to use the fire pit but it didn’t dampen our experience. We would definitely stay here again if the opportunity arises!
Lovely home in the Masthope area. So many thoughtful extras made our stay very relaxing. We loved watching the deer, playing in the game room, and connecting with family around the large dinner table. Great hosts.
We had a wonderful week! The house was beautiful and very well kept. Kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to cook for a group of 12. Any questions we had were quickly answered by text. Hiked 5 waterfalls in the area, kayaked, played mini golf, enjoyed the wildlife, and had a fire in the backyard almost every evening. It was a great week to unplug, relax, and reconnect with family.
The property was amazing! It was large and spacious so that I could accommodate my fairly big extended family on a wonderful vacation! The amenities and accessibility made it possible for me to enjoy memories that I never thought I would see again. Every member of my family spoke of how clean and gorgeous the house was, and I said thanks; however, I assured the real credit for this house went to the owners who made it all possible. Thank you for letting us stay at this marvelous home!
We gathered in Lackawaxen to celebrate our 40th year of our college graduation. The house was quite spacious and fit our large group. We were disappointed that there was no hot tub as advertised. The grill did not work either. Many of the local restaurants and amenities were closed due to it being October. We enjoyed the fire pit and the wild life- especially the deer!
Everything was perfect except the weather. We had a welcome basket with games, blankets, tumbler, toiletries etc. Everything was clean and well put together. We really had and awesome time. We recommend this place to anyone. Absolutely Amazing!!!
We have been coming to Masthope every winter for the past 9 years. This was our second time staying at this property. Communication with the property management was easy with quick responses. The property was clean and had all the amenities that you could want. There is plenty of seating for everyone and the basement play area with the toys is a huge bonus. Lots of room in the kitchen and the dining table was large with ample seating for our group. We definitely recommend this property.
Our group of 10 adults enjoyed a relaxing, comfortable vacation the heart of the Poconos. This huge home gave us plenty of elbow room. The back deck was a constant gathering place during our July vacation. Particularly enjoyed seeing deer every single day. The kitchen was spacious and well appointed. Bedrooms were excellent. With no children, we did not partake of the basement recreation area, but it looked nice. Really enjoyed the backyard fire pit. Highly recommend this rental.
We chose this lovely property to celebrate our mother's 90th birthday. What a wonderful time. The house was perfect to hold ten of us with plenty of room to spread out. The spacious basement was stocked with kid's things and the large deck was great to hang out on for the adults. The kitchen was well stocked and had many spices on hand. The two coffee makers (Keruig and a 12 cup drip with plenty of cone shaped filters on hand) were great. A little off the beaten path but great for our family. Victoria was very responsive and quickly answered all our questions. Thanks for the great time.
Captain Bob and Loretta are very responsive hosts. The home had plenty of room for our family of 12. The children and dads loved the basement. The large deck in back was a favorite gathering space. All ages enjoyed roasting marshmallows and making s’mores at the fire pit. The hosts’ welcome basket contained all the fixings. The pool area is a couple of minutes away by car. There are water slides into one of the pools. There is a wading pool for the little ones and a splash pad. The lower pool has deck chairs and is a quieter space for adults. The 9 hole putt-putt course was host to our weeklong family tournament. The beach is within walking distance. The paddle boats and kayaks are available for use at no cost. The beach also has swings and slides. The beach is nicely groomed with white sand. If you have sensitive feet you may consider wearing a pair of water shoes. The Masthope Mountain Community is in a remote area close to the Delaware. Our family had a great summer vacation here. We will be back!
Boy were we happy we chose this place. Victoria and Bob were both very accommodating and quickly helped answer all my annoying questions. Which to me is paramount. The place was clean and looked even better in person. We took full advantage of the huge deck by grilling and eating out there as well as drinking our morning coffee and feeding the deer! I loved the area and the people working in the community office were friendly as heck. The only tiny knocks, if I am being objective, is the tv's didn't really allow us to download other apps aside from Netflix. Also, the grassy areas in the community by the courts were chock full of animal feces. So it kinda ruined our plans to throw a football around. All in all I personally would love to go back and deal with such beautiful people.
The house was perfect & location was great. Loved the back deck!

The house was bigger inside than we thought it would be and worked out very well for three couples and 5 children, 6-9 years of age. The house was stocked with everything needed in a kitchen and the basement was a wonderful place for the children to play. The $7 a day per person for amenities is too little for everything you get. Remember to bring chairs for the children's pool area and the beach. I would recommend this house to anyone looking to get away. The only draw back is the lack of response from the property manager. On a positive note the property owner “Captain Bob” was very responsive and wonderful to deal with. We will be back!
Our family and friends enjoyed the stay at the house. It was nicely set up and comfortable for everyone. Kids had plenty of toys to choose from in the playroom to keep themselves occupied for hours. I would highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Masthope.
This was the perfect getaway for me and my friends. We hiked, we plunged in the lake (yes in the fall!), we made great food in the gorgeous kitchen and relaxed in the sprawling living room and deck! We didn't get to experience the fire pit because we ran out of time! But next time for sure! I can't wait to return. Thanks Victoria for a great experience!
This by far exceeded our expectations! Communication with Victoria was wonderful as she answered all of our questions and was very quick to respond. The house was perfect for a large family and stocked with everything possible to make our stay so enjoyable as we needed nothing! Thank you for an amazing vacation and we all really look forward to coming back now next year! 💗
We had a wonderful stay. The space is much larger than we thought from the images, and the kitchen was incredibly well supplied. Cell service was spotty so it was sometimes hard to communicate with the property manager over minor things (light bulb going out), but no issues. We had a wheelchair user with us, so the ramps and showers allowed us to all easily be together. The kids also absolutely loved the massive amounts of toys in the basement. For future renters, just note that no towels means zero towels, including kitchen and bathroom hand towels. Only 3 rolls of TP were supplied for our one week stay as well, so just make sure to bring your own!
We had a great time at this house! Very spacious and enough room and bathrooms for large group!
We had a wonderful time at this house!! The inside was beautiful and very clean. The downstairs children’s area was great for the kids who were in our group! My only gripe was that the deck wasn’t very clean and felt a bit grimy when sitting outside.
The property was wonderful. There was plenty of room for everyone, and the deck was large and accommodating. The lower level was perfect for the 7 year old in our group. She really enjoyed all of the games & toys. There are also plenty of games for adults. The pool & beach areas were very nice. We took full advantage of both as the temps were in the 90’s during our stay. I would definitely recommend the property to friends.
This property was perfect for our family - 6 adults and 6 children. It had all the room and amenities that we needed.
We cooked every day on the grill, enjoyed the gas fireplace, and had s’mores on the fire pit.
We also took advantage of the Masthope facilities, including the pool and lake. Our grandchildren are already urging us to return to this rental next year. Hopefully, we will.
