Our family was looking for a peaceful getaway and this house was above and beyond what we were hoping for.
There is a great variety of activity and ways to relax within the walls of this house. We were able to share laughs and get rest in the comfort of this home.
The decor is great and the charm helped us feel right at home.
10.0
The house was perfect for our family of 12. Plenty of room, well equipped with games, including a pool table, foosball and card/game tables. The view from the wrap around deck was amazing. The kids said this was the best house we have rented for our annual gatherings.
The yard was large and level and great for outdoor games such as badmitton, soccer and bocci ball. The firepit was a nice addition and allowed us to have our traditional smores night.
We made use of the nice community resources, including the swimming pool, lake beaches and walks along the roads.
The only minus is that the kitchen area was a little small, but the 8 adults managed to navigate the terrain without incident. Overall, the property and location were worthy of a return trip.

We pretty much liked about everything with Big Blue. The grandkids loved the community pool. There was privacy and the yard was great for all of us to have outdoor fun. The rooms were big and specious so we could watch one thing on TV in the main room and something else in the game room. Everything was great.

Every year our group of guys take a motorcycle trip for a long weekend. This year there were 10 of us ranging in age from early 50's to mid 60's. We decided to ride around this part of PA and I selected the Big Blue Cabin and it was perfect for our needs. It had enough beds for each of us to have their own bed and enough baths to handle the group.
When we arrived the place was as advertised and all the guys thought it was great.
If we decide to ride in that area again I'll definitely try to bilk this place again.

My sisters and I were looking to take our 80 year old parents on a nice weekend trip. We decided on Jim Thorpe, PA, and were happy we did. Our Big Blue cabin house was perfect - it was only about 10 mins away from JT and it was very spacious with 2 large living room/family room type areas on the main floor. My family likes to play board and card games and we did a lot of that at the house later at night. Loved the huge driveway - fit all 4 of our cars easily. We didn't get to enjoy it but it had a great wrap around porch with picnic tables and lounge chairs. The town was awesome too - would've like to have one more day.

we so enjoyed the time with our family this past week!
The house is great....would just add that maybe some updated LR furniture and a large coffee table would add a lot to the main living area with the dining room/ kitchen ! Otherwise a great home !!

We had such a nice time connecting with family this weekend at your home! We had 12 adults and everyone fit comfortably in the house. There were plenty of beds, and the living area was great for hanging out. Plenty of parking, and neighborhood was quiet- took a lovely walk together down to the lake! Thanks so much for opening your home to us!

Nice time in Jim Thorpe
My family had a fun stay in the Poconos. The house met our expectations. Favorite parts were the deck and the fire pit. The weather was gorgeous so we enjoyed the outdoors. The lake and the pool provided plenty of entertainment.

Perfect rental for family time
Highly recommend this property for family groups looking to get away. With its ease of access and location, it is a perfect rental for the pocono area. This property has three large rooms that were perfect for both young and old and allowed plenty of space for multiple activities. Whether it was to play pool, play cards or board games or just sit and talk while sitting next to the fire, this was the perfect property. The house's interior design and ammenities were well layed out and perfect for the inclemate weather. The kitchen had everything needed and within reach. The beds and bathrooms were comfortable and plentiful. The sauna was a much needed relaxation timeout for the adults. The property owners replied immediately to communications and were incredibly accomidating to any requests we had. I can not recommend this property enough.

Relaxing week
Darci was a pleasure to work with- was very responsive on any questions or requests. Nice big home for big family - close to the lake for swimming and fishing. Close to downtown Jim Thorpe.

Great Poconos Week!
We stayed at this property for a week in August for our joint family vacation. Our ages ranged from 86 to 7. The house was extremely clean and well stocked with everything we needed for our stay and more. Having three different floors with rooms and bathrooms worked great for our families to stay and have space from each other. The community itself was really nice and well kept, especially compared to other communities we’ve stayed in during past trips. The pool, basketball courts, tennis courts and lake access were all clean and well kept. The kids enjoyed them as well as the numerous playgrounds around the community. We enjoyed white water rafting, hawk falls, hickory run state park and the butterfly museum that were all within 20mins of the house. The sunsets from the lake access nearby are a must see!!
The only negative was an incident involving one of our bikes being stolen during the middle of the night which ended up in the lake the next morning. This was of no fault of the owners but be aware to not leave bikes or other things outside overnight without locking them up.
Darci was extremely responsive before and during our stay. We highly recommend this property to those looking for a spacious, clean and wonderful property for a Poconos Vaction.

A fantastic place for a group getaway
This place worked so well for our family of 8, and Darci was super-responsive. The living space is huge and comfortable, and the house is one of the cleanest rentals we've had in the past few years. The brand new back deck was perfect for morning coffee. You're within walking distance to a beach for swimming and volleyball, and a short drive or walk to the pool. We highly recommend picking up some ice cream at Wood's in downtown Jim Thorpe, and enjoying the amazing view (and a live rattlesnake) at the end of the Tank Hollow Trail. The 3.5 mile roundtrip hike is short five minute drive from the house, and fairly easy. But wear long pants just in case!

Great stay for Multiple Families
We rented the house for my mom's 70th birthday. We were easily able to fit 5 families in the house. There was plenty of rooms, space, yard, and activities to do. We stayed at the end of August. We went white water rafting, hiking, fishing, and enjoyed the pool and beaches during the day. At night we catered food from the local Italian restaurant, cooked on the grill, then sat and roasted marshmallows by the fire pit. I highly recommend this house. Darci made the check-in process very smooth and answered all of our questions throughout the trip.
