About this house rental
This unique Lodge is nicely secluded and completely surrounded by woods and nature. Enjoy the best of both worlds with excellent privacy and seclusion at the house, with many amenities just a short drive away. The house sits on almost 3 acres and backs up to 100 acres of land owned by the Boy Scouts. It truly is a perfect destination to enjoy nature at its finest without sacrificing comfort. There is a large deck that overlooks the fire pit area, which is perfect to sit around and enjoy s'mores with friends and family! Sit and have drinks, play music, enjoy yourselves and be as loud as you would like. This location is extremely versatile - in the summer it is excellent for fishing, tubing, kayaking, hiking and swimming. In the winter it is great for skiing at local resorts!
The house has a Full Kitchen, a spacious living room with a wrap-around couch and 55" TV, 3 Bedrooms (the Master bedroom being a charming loft), 2 full bathrooms, and basement with a unique "man cave" that includes a pool table. My family has owned homes in this same development since I was very young and we have always enjoyed our trips to the mountains (regardless of the season) - and I know you will too!

Very secluded cabin. We enjoyed our stay. Host was responsive. Exactly what we were looking for. If you are looking for that nice rustic feel, away from everything, you'll enjoy this spot.

Very bad experience, we rent it since September 3rd for a Christmas weekend trip and the owner canceled the day of our trip December 23rd, very unprofessional, never send us any information about the keys and never answer the phone calls. Very upset and disappointed, you don't do that to a family specially in Christmas.

My family and I had a fantastic time staying at this property. The home was clean and exactly as described and pictured on the website. The host was responsive and easy to communicate with. The game room in the basement was great for my teenage kids. There’s plenty of land to explore nature around the property and it’s very secluded. This is definitely a place we would love to return to very soon.

We stayed for a week - myself, my husband, 2 teenage boys (15 & 17) and our golden retriever. Located within about 20 minutes of most of what we wanted to do. Once you connect to the WiFi, we had no issues with connecting. Nearby family even came one night to grill too! Owner of as very responsive and helpful. Great place for a family to stay!

Overall we enjoyed our stay and was perfect for a quick weekend getaway with some friends. Communication with the property manager lacked. Couldn’t get in touch with anyone up until the day before after sending messages and making a phone call. After communicating with VRBO, the manager contacted via text message. The place was somewhat newly renovated and very clean on the inside when we arrived. Outside the property not very appealing. Location very secluded and perfect for quiet time away from the outside world. Also located near town and in driving distance.

This is a beautiful property set back away from the neighbors on the street. This is our third time staying here. And we would absolutely stay here again. Everything you need for your Poconos get away.

This property is fantastic! It's feels quite isolated in the woods (as the last house on the street). No worries about neighbors. Great back deck overlooking the woods and firepit down below. Wonderful "mancave" game room in the basement. Plenty of rooms and beds. Great spot for a party getaway.
6.0
Great location set back in the woods in the Poconos. Short drive to plenty of activities. Neighbors were fairly close, however not really visible from the property. The house was a little dated, as was the furniture inside. Not a very clean home and the shower in the basement did not work (low water pressure and no hot water). There was A/C, but only in 1 room making the house very warm. No cable either. There was a Roku but no cords to make it work. Regardless, we had a great time as we were there for a bachelor party and cleanliness was not a priority of ours. We streamed all our tv thru our laptops as the wifi was sufficient. Not sure if I’d ever return, but we were content enough to have a good time.
5.0
Easy booking, easy check-in.. Place was clean..Plenty of firewood on site. Plenty of privacy. Place is stocked with pots and pans including grilling utensils. Plenty of shopping and dining a short drive away..
Huge slope leading down to the fire pit area. So might not be kid friendly..
Overall all the guys had a great time at this property. I would definitely recommend to my friends.

We wanted a cabin experience with all of the comforts of home. This property gave us that. It was a mix of rustic and modern and everyone loved it there. We would absolutely stay again. Jake, the owner, was very responsive to my messages.
4.0
We wanted to get out of the city and do some nature sightseeing, hiking and biking. Accomplished all that and more. Perfect location to base your Pocono stay and move about from there.
Property is very secluded and when it’s dark... it’s dark. Exterior lighting is lacking big time, no deck rail lights to enjoy deck at night, and there are solar driveway lights but few if any work when on approach at night. Lightning outside was a complete bummer because if you didn’t make it down to the fire pit before sunset, very little chance of heading there after dark. I also had to put our headlights and takedown lights on my vehicle to illuminate the area just to walk our small dog after dark. Grill wasn’t the cleanest either so we did not use.
Never got an answer what to do with our interior trash as in where it goes outside. We ended up keeping trash inside until departure day. We twice had to fix, relocate and clean the driveway entrance of toppled trash cans and strewn bags that block access courtesy of what I can only assume to be bears. Not really what we wanted to be doing after long days out but if we didn’t we couldn’t get up the drive. Maybe an instruction or “what to do if” list in property is needed.
Interior was nice, well appointed and roomy. We did have a mouse running around one night but hey we were literally in a Forrest so I’m sure that happens often. All appliances work well. The kitchen sink and faucet area definitely need updating Sink is chipping of porcelain and the faucet is coming apart.
Owner was very responsive leading up to our trip and actual day of... He was a good source of information. And, it was appreciated.
Rated of 4 overall. Jake is really nice, it’s a great location, but I really wanted to enjoy more of the exterior deck and fire pit at night and with very insufficient lighting...it just wasn’t possible.
We will return however and hope these issues have been addressed. Thank you it was a great week.

My family and I enjoyed the whole experience. It was one of the best vacation's by far peace and relaxation from the inner city. This will not be the last log cabin experience for us.

The house was clean and nicely secluded in the woods. The kitchen is well-equipped. The bathrooms are nice and updated and the beds are very comfortable. The fire pit has plenty of wood, though you need to be careful due to broken glass and nails on the ground around the pit. The house does not have cable as advertised--it has a Roku which does not have live TV and you need to have access to streaming sites to use it. This was not a huge issue, but something to consider as the listing indicates there is cable/TV and there isn't. You should bring your own paper products--toilet paper, napkins and paper towels. We had a difficult time communicating with the owner through VRBO and never received the check in information through the VRBO site--we had to text Jake several times to get this information. Also, there was a bit of confusion about who we were communicating with-- we eventually received a different number to text/call and communication improved after that. We were there during the recent hurricane, which understandably impacts communication, however, our issues with communication pre-dated the storm.
