Nice Homi

Our stay at this home was very pleasant and accurately described. The house was very clean and well equipped. Everything was ready for us when we arrived. The communication with the owner(s) was excellent. We were continually updated by them from the time we first contacted them until we departed. I recommend staying at the Bear's Lair without hesitation. Thank you for professionalism, competency and hospitality....🙂

Good Fun, Great Price, Awesome House

My family and I stayed here during the summer, and we were very happy with the house, the management and the location. The house was fantastic with everything you could want. There was an amazing game room with a pool table, foosball table and two arcade style machines. The patio/deck had a grill that we used nearly everyday! The house is located in a community with a members recreation center that has a pool, beach and tennis courts! All in all, this was a fantastic place to stay.

Absolutely perfect

This house was awesome. The owners thought of everything. Lives that we didn’t have to pack towels or bedding . They had charging strips everywhere for your phones . Games and books. The house fit 15 of us perfectly. We loved the deck and game/ bar area. The master bedroom was huge. The upstairs was perfect for all the kids. The house layout was great. We spent a day at Hickory Run state park and Kalahari. Will absolutely be back. Highly recommend!!

Family Fun

We had a great family vacation. Plenty of space for the kids to spread out and the adults, too! We also went to Camelback Waterpark for the day which was about a 25 minute drive, easy peasy. The supermarket to go to is Ahart's Market in Blakeslee, PA. There's a supermarket, liquor and discount store in the same strip mall. Also, try to swing by Harmony Beverage, they have beer, candy and awesome Adult style slushies!

Perfect family getaway!

The house was clean and well stocked. We loved the game room but felt the property could use some TLC. The sofa was hard with wood under the cushions and the area rug in the living room was a tripping hazard. Other than this the house was great land we had an awesome stay.

Good place but needs some TLC

Loved the location and the set up. House was clean and well appointed. Price was great, so I expected some issues. House needs some TLC: -Main sofa was beat up. Wood used under seat cushions. Holes in upholstery. -Rugs in decent shape, not great. Some LVP would go a long way. - rampage arcade game didn’t work - downstairs beds were not comfortable -bunk beads had wood holding up the mattress Seems like a bunch on issues but the house was clean and bathrooms were spotless. For the price, I’d stay here again but a small investment in the property could force an increase in asking price.

Quick Family Getaway

While our check-in was delayed a couple of hours due to an issue with previous renters, the property owner was in constant contact with us and very apologetic. They even had pizzas and wings delivered upon our arrival. They also provided the option for a later check-out. We loved the house for our family’s quick getaway and feel the owners went above and beyond to compensate for the unexpected delay at check-in.

Great house for big group with kids!

This house was great! It as even better in person than it looked in the pictures. It was VERY clean. The house included all of the bed linens, towels, necessities (toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning products) etc. There were plenty of warm blankets, the bedding was fresh and clean, the pillows and mattresses were very comfortable too. Each bed had a welcome basket with fresh towels and soap! The game room was a BIG hit with our group of kids (ages 11 & 12)- they loved playing pool and foosball. One of the arcade machines would not power on, but there were 2, so it was fine. The entry level included 2 comfortable queen bedrooms, theater room, bathroom, game room w/ dry bar/TV and arcades. The 2nd level had a VERY spacious open living room/kitchen dining area with a nice deck, and another queen bedroom, bathroom and primary suite with a huge private bathroom. The 3rd loft level was HUGE, with 4 bunk beds, a futon and a little alcove with comfy chairs and fairy lights. The kids all stayed in the loft area and were VERY comfortable and had a blast! The adults stayed on the 2nd level and slept peacefully once the kiddos fell asleep (the Loft is over the primary suite, so there was some noise from above- but it was to be expected with tweens all bunking together for a fun night!). There was another slight glitch (other than one of the arcade machines not working)- the Remote Controls for the TV in the main room (2nd fl) did not work the Television. I reached out via text to the management company to troubleshoot, after 2 hours, it was suggested to download an "LG Remote Control" app on my phone, and that worked- however, it was slightly annoying to have to deal with ads when trying to change channels, control volume, etc. The kids planned a Movie Marathon and one of the reasons I chose this home was because of the game room and giant sectional for them all to gather and watch together- so thankfully after 2 hours of trying to get it to work, there was a solution. I would definitely rent this home again! I would recommend it to anyone looking to stay in this area. Because we stayed in early December- we were not able to take advantage of the lake, tennis courts, playground, etc. but we drove around the community and it looked lovely. So if you're thinking about renting this home- DON'T HESITATE- it was a really fantastic house! Perfect layout for a big family or multiple families to gather and enjoy the Poconos!

Great for large family holidays

The property is perfect for a family getaway, especially for an extended family with children. The young cousins can stay on the top floor bunkhouse, while the adults and teens entertain themselves on the lower two levels. The only drawback is an elderly person, or one with mobility issues has to get up a flight of stairs to get to the kitchen/dining/living room area. The top two floors are not handicap accessible.
