Hidden Bear
We enjoyed our stay. This retreat gave us the quality time we needed as a family to disconnect from the rest of the world. It is always a pleasant surprise to walk and expect to see what you pay for and the pictures are exactly like the cabin. Another plus was the job Lynn the housekeeper did - it was exceptional. It was nice to be greeted by a truly clean home, especially after a long ride. We enjoyed the scenery. It was quiet and peaceful. We really enjoyed the game table - it allowed us to play for hours (Scrabble, Basketball, Operation, and Candyland). We thought it was so sweet - a personal touch - welcoming pet blanket and roll of poopy bags. The honey soft soap was another nice touch. We loved the pancakes and syrup - very thoughtful and thank you. We plan to come back to your cabin.

My Little Family Get Away
My family and I wanted a little get away with our 2 small frenchies. The house was nice and cozy, the pillows are a bit hard. We seen many deers. The fireplace was great. We had pretty much everything we needed. Contact with the property manager was great. The property is located in a great location, we were close to everything. My frenchies really enjoyed themselves. What I didn’t enjoy was the fact that the front doors do not have any tint so you are able to see right into the house. I’m a New Yorker, I like my privacy. The house had no mop/swiffer so on Saturday when it rained we tracked water into the house and had to clean it up with bounty. The coffee machine could really use a deep cleaning, I had to clean that out a few times before I could use it. The downstairs bedroom has its own bathroom but has bunk beds, I would have preferred to stay in that room with my partner had it not been for the bunk beds. Overall we enjoyed ourselves and don’t regret picking this location for our stay.

Nice comfy house
The house was exactly as pictured and described. We stayed two families with two 6 year olds and it was a perfect size for us. Very close to Big Boulder and about 25 minutes drive to Jack Frost. We would book again.

Great weekend getaway!
Two of my friends and I stayed here to have a girl's weekend away. It was so lovely! Autumn was in full swing. Only a 20 minute drive from Jim Thorpe, where we enjoyed the Fall Foliage Festival. The house was in a quiet neighborhood. The beds were comfy, and the back deck had great swings for lounging. We loved the fireplace and the cozy couch. The pots and pans could use replacing, and driving 10 minutes away to take our trash out at the end of the weekend was a little annoying, but other than that we have no complaints! Thanks for a great weekend! We will be back. ♥️

Enjoyable experience
We booked the weekend to enjoy with my fiance, his family and 2 dogs. The house exceeded our expectations. We were able to make home cooked meals with their fully stocked kitchen and enjoyed a welcome present of pancake mix and syrup from the host. The carpet had a couple of stains but it's to be expected. The house over all was very clean. The host also left baskets in each room with towels, washclothes and soaps. The back porch was great to hang out on especially with the hammock style chairs. It was about a 15 minute ride to Jim Thorpe where we got to enjoy the fall festival and exploring local shops. We will definitely book again!

Restful getaway
Overall we loved our stay at this property. The location was perfect. The fenced yard was an amazing perk for traveling with our husky. The house was clean and spacious for us. The wide variety of apps on the TV was amazing for evening entertainment. There was even a gift of pancake mix for us to enjoy! The only issues we had with the electronic key lock were remedied pretty quickly by the management company via VRBO app but it would have been more comforting to have a number to call someone. There are some stains on the carpet but it’s to be expected I suppose for a pet friendly listing. Would definitely stay here again.

Easy Rental
We enjoyed the pet friendly nature of this rental. We would caution people with young infants that the upstairs railing and guards are wide spaces and we had to watch closely with our 1.5 year old. Otherwise, it was nice. Especially enjoyed the bonus pancakes and syrup left by the owners.

Misrepresented Property
This property came under search criteria for Premier host and high cleanliness rating. It also was described as “fully equipped”. When we arrived, the carpet was soiled with old and fresh pet feces, urine and vomit stains. The upstairs furniture had layers of dust and there were stains and clumps of dog hair on upstairs carpet. The kitchen lacked cookware, pot holders, and basic necessities. The lock on front door did not work on our second day. We cut our stay short because this property was so misrepresented in description. We would not recommend this property for cleanliness or as a Premier host property.

Great place
Perfectly described location. It was central to all of our family’s activities and was a great starting point. Property was clean and surprisingly spacious. Having a fenced in yard was a godsend because we had our dogs with us. Will ABSOLUTELY look to book this location again on our next trip to the Poconos.

Brief but Pleasant!
My family needed a short getaway so we could enjoy some things around the Jim Thorpe area. The home itself was quaint, clean and well-kept. The home owners did a fantastic job keeping some of thing little things around the place so we could indeed - enjoy the place! Pleasantly surprised I didn't have to make a coffee trip when I realized it was already there! While our stay was brief - we used it as a launchpad to go White Water rafting (which I'd recommend as well). We were able to find comfort and the ability to rest. Our family used the Infinity to play Monopoly nightly. It was awesome not to need a "banker". My younger son played several other games on it as well. Prior to arriving, I re-read the description and saw on second notice that in reference to Cooling it said "Coming Soon". It worried me but was relieve that there were air units and ceiling fans that kept the heat at bay. We appreciated our time there and being able to share the place as guests! Enjoy your stay!
