Great place to stay in the Pocono's!
All I can say is "WOW"! What a great place to stay in the Pocono's. Especially if you happen to have a larger group going. Let me tell you this....everyone in my group was loving the property. This place has a huge deck out back, plenty of lawn, and a nice size firepit with swings around it. Clean and comfortable inside, with plenty of room. We loved having 3 bathrooms, and two with showers! Updated appliances, K-cup and pour over coffee makers,and a nice double stainless steel kitchen sink. Plenty of kitchen utensils, pots and pans, and plenty of plates, bowls, etc. There is a huge table downstairs that works great for poker/tabletop game playing. Also a big screen TV and sectional couches, upstairs and downstairs. We couldn't believe how much room there was inside to stretch out and relax. Three sectional couches. Just a great piece of property to enjoy. We were a little surprised about security cameras being mounted in the front and rear of the property. Especially one pointed right at the fire pit area. This was not mentioned in any part of the rental description. It made a few people in my group slightly uneasy. All in all, everyone enjoyed the property and had an excellent time. We loved it! We cant wait to come back next year and do it all over again. We would like to thank our hosts Leah and Shawn for having us at their awesome place!

Not good
We arrive and kitchen was dirty. Have to clean stove , oven . towels was really smelly. We have to buy detergent to wash towels, sheets for all bedding. The refrigerator was completely dirty. Would not stay there again . Call owner and all they said was “ we will talk to the cleaners. I took pic of everything but I can’t attach them.

Beautiful, Peaceful, Perfect!
Don't look any further! This place is perfect! Very Clean! Great Beds! Beautiful Big deck that we sat out on every night and watched the deer come out in the field along the side of the house. One morning we saw five bucks right up next to the house at the same time! You are close enough to everything you need and everywhere you want to go but far enough it is quiet and peaceful. We love this place! Hated to leave! Definitely stay here again!

Awesome
We are a church family, and we needed a place that was spacious.and we got that. Everyone was happy, except for the living room chairs.. we are all over 50, so when we sat down most of us had a hard time climbing out of them, myself included..lololol. But, our stay was simply awesome. Everyone was pleased. Thank you.

Nice place
We had 6 adults and only one got the bedding right. The sheets are on the bureau. I thought they were extra blankets. Also remember to bring your own soap. I thought they'd have liquid soap but shops aren't too far so I got some. My other friends had their own. The decor and signage was great! Getting in was a breeze with the code but it didn't lock back up so I locked from inside and left through the back which had a doorknob lock. Those were our 3 small complications that were easy to figure out. Enjoy your stay. I know we did.

Loved this rental! Super spacious inside and the outside space was a huge bonus. The setting was private with a huge deck overlooking the beautiful countryside. It’s centrally located amongst several local attractions.

Our home away from home
This is our families 3rd stay at this home. I cannot possibly say enough good things about it. It’s very spacious, has everything you need and is so peaceful. We travel every February to the area for a family snowboarding trip and this is always our place to stay. We have a wonderful time every trip and hope to enjoy this place for many more years to come. Thanks again for a wonderful stay!!!

Great getaway!
House was perfect fit for our family/friends crew. 30 minutes from Jack Frost and Kalahari indoor water park. Loved relaxing by the wood-burning fireplace! Fav spot in the house. Basement for our 3 teen girls was a perfect hangout. 3 bathrooms was very beneficial! Deck would've been awesome to hangout on but was covered in snow so was relaxing to look out back door as it was snowing! So pretty!! Great long weekend trip made of many memories!

What we needed
We visited with 2 of our four children and their significant others. With them all being adults now, connecting without outside influences is tough at home. We loved being away and the Bears and Boots place was what we needed to connect. We all enjoyed the time away. Amble space, and comfort. I cooked for all of them, my favorite, played card games, that we brought, slept well, and overall enjoyed ourselves. Rested and recharged for the new year. The hosts were wonderful! They answered our questions, can opener and an app, were all we needed. Thank you for allowing us to use your space Alberts!

Gathering Friends!
This home was incredible!! The spacious home accommodated 8 adults very comfortably. The large airy open home was perfect for a large party to conversate and the sitting areas, although in the open area, worked well for chats separate from the group. My husband and I stayed in the smallest twin room and were still very comfortable. The decor is warm and inviting and I really hope to come back!

Another enjoyable stay at "The Boots"
This was our second time staying at house. Comfortable and very convenient to Hickory Run State Park. When we couldn't enjoy the outdoors because of the rain, we were able to gather around the TV downstairs, and use the downstairs table for board games. Thank you Shawn and Leah!

Good house for a big group
We had 3 adults, a teenager and 5 kids aged 9-12. The space was big with plenty of room to hang, sleep, and be. The fire pit was fun and the kids enjoyed the big backyard. The house could use some touch ups including the back deck, which was peeling in several parts, but all in all we enjoyed our stay.

Great family trip!
Overall, we had a wonderful experience at Shawn and Leah’s place in the Poconos. The house was spacious and provided plenty of room for all 8 of us. The location is quiet and the property with the large deck and fire pit outside were perfect for the few warmer winter days we had up there. The owners were extremely responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process (booking and during our stay). Our only complaint is that the house provided the bare minimum of bathroom and kitchen items. It had just enough bath towels however no wash cloths or hand/dish towels (we purchased some and left at the house). There were pots, pans, utensils, and dinnerware, however things like extra garbage bags, foil, ziplock bags, and basic cleaning supplies were not provided. Again, these things are not deal breakers at all but just wanted to mention to make sure others are aware of what they should plan to pack when staying here. Thanks again for your hospitality, Shawn and Leah!
