Rented this property for our family reunion which included 17 adults and 5 kids for a long weekend. It was the perfect rental for such an event. It was very clean and clearly maintained well. We had plenty of space for sleeping. The activity room was perfect for all ages. The house had extras that helped made this so perfect for our family, such as extra foldable tables, chairs and kitchen supplies. Highly recommend this space for a large family wanting some outdoor space.

The property was phenomenal, and the house was pristine… Would absolutely stay here again

Black Diamond Retreat was a wonderful place for a family gathering. Both indoor and outdoor areas were spacious and gave everyone room to spread out and wander. We enjoyed sitting around the fire pit every evening and playing corn hole and bocci outside as well. Even though it seemed we were away in the middle of nowhere and very quiet, town was only a short drive away. Some of us did take and enjoy the Yuengling Brewery tour. Landon answered our questions along the way promptly as well. We all agreed we would definitely recommend this retreat for a fun large group gathering!

Over all the house is quite lovely, the location is excellent and the management company is very easy to get a hold of and are very helpful unfortunately the hot water heater was not working when we arrived. The management company sent a handyman very qyickly who could not have been nicer. He was able to bipass the broken water heater and use the second one in the house. Even with this remedy it was still a problem since the basement of the house has radient floor heating which could not be used. So that was quite cold and made sleeping difficult. Asside from this problem everything else went great and we had a wonderful stay.

We spent our Christmas vacation here. Wonderful big house. Everything was great. Host replied in a timely manner. Thank you for sharing your home with us. Only problem with the house that WiFi wasn’t working any of the days we were there i believe the router was broken. But other than anything we had a great time. Thank you

We rented this house for a reunion of college friends and their families. House was able to fit more than 6 families comfortably. We stayed for 3 nights and the house was clean and very well stocked with all the basic necessities which in my experience is not always the case. Landon the host was absolutely great with communication in responding to all of my questions and in a very timely manner. The house had a very nice kitchen stocked with all that we needed to prepare all our meals. Bonus kitchen downstairs allowed us to easily cook meals for a party of 25 without having to stretch cooking times. We lucked out with a very warm weekend so we were able to spend time outside on the patio and deck which was very nicely set up with BBQ grill and fire pit. It was a nice space for kids to run around. We also learned the house was only 15 minutes away from the Yuengling Brewery which was an awesome convenience we took advantage of for a quick day trip to tour their brewery. I highly recommend it, not to mention free samples. We had an absolutely amazing time and would definitely look to come back if we ever have another chance to get together. Thanks again Landon for everything

We really enjoyed the property, so quiet and peaceful. Beautiful place

We had a wonderful extended family get-together and the house was a huge part of that. Lots of parking, bedrooms, two kitchens and multiple eating space are all great for hosting a large group. The pond behind the house was very scenic and perfect for boating with kids. Plenty to do nearby, including Pottsville activities and Knoebels. The only item of note that isn’t apparent from the listing or Google maps is that getting to the house requires driving up and down a steep, unpaved hill, so bringing a sports car or the like seems like a bad idea. And garbage is required to be taken down that hill to a dumpster for animal control reasons, which is manageable but a bit annoying. Overall, highly recommended and perfect for large groups!
