Name fits perfect
Host was great to deal with and communication was quick. Very relaxing community. Has everything included which is a great plus saving trips to get necessities. House aas very clean and relaxing. Felt like you were actually at home instead of strange place. While cooking on grill outdoors, mother deer and her 2 babies came walking up to me about 10 feet away and just stayed there eating. Wish there was some kind of saw to cut wood for outdoor firepit but thats only minor. Will bring something to split wood next trip we make to here. Would definitely reccomend this place and plan on coming back in the future.

Wonderful getaway in the Poconos
Wonderful cabin in the woods with lots of amenities. The listing was exactly what was delivered and we all enjoyed ourselves. Our host, was available immediately for the very few questions we had. The basement was awesome - every kind of game along with ping pong, Pac Man (our fav) and air hockey. Hot tub was also enjoyed. Highly recommend!

Plenty of room for 5 adults and 2 children.
The property was attractive, comfortable,and well equipped except for these items: there was no corkscrew, hand towels or adequate bar soap. We purchased 2 hand towels and bar soap which we left in the house. We also needed to purchase additional garbage bags. There was plenty to do at the” hideout” area for adults and children. It would have been very helpful to have instructions on how to close up the house at the end of our stay.

Perfect Getaway
This property was great for a long getaway. Very clean inside (and outside), and enough space to not be on top of each other. Daniela was very responsive to all our questions, maybe the fastest and most detailed of any properties I have rented through VRBO. 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for peace, and quiet, in the Poconos.

New Years Weekend Getaway
The 11 of us had a great time during our stay at this home! The listing was accurate and we had no problems with anything on the property! When entering the community at the gate house we were told we needed to have our vehicle registration as well as our ID's. However, we did not know the registration was necessary beforehand. We ended up getting in, but needed to linkup to the wifi to download some registrations as they were not on hand. I'd also like to note that the trash center, unbeknownst to us, was closednfor new years day, but due to the inconvenience the host was kind enough to allow us to leave the trash on the property. Communication was great and timely. Would definitely recommend!

Lovely retreat for family gathering
Our family of 5 stayed over the Thanksgiving holiday and we had a lovely time. The house is as described on the website. We found the game room very pleasant and very well maintained. Our kids played a lot of ping pong and air hockey. The living room with the projector is very cosy and the bedrooms are very quiet. The owner was very responsive to any questions we had. All in all a great property. I would recommend it to anyone who would like a nice gateway.

Cozy & Quiet Stay For Family
My family had a wonderful stay at Mountain Chalet! I had 11 people in my party, age ranged from 8months -81 yrs old and they all enjoyed themselves. I would say this house truly sleeps 8 (6 adults 2 kids)comfortably. Luckily we had some young folks with us who didn’t mind sleeping on the couches. There isn’t a formal dining room. The living room and kitchen are on the smaller side so if you plan on having a big family dinner like we did, you may need to get creative. If there is 8 people or less in your party the common areas are more than enough space for you all. The fireplace, hot tub, and game room were our favorites! There’s so much to do inside that we didn’t feel the need to explore the hideout amenities. The property owner is kind and very responsive. We would stay here again with a smaller group. Oh final thing is to beware of speed cameras! They are very strict about the speed limit inside the community.

The Fun House
This house is appropriately named! “Where the fun begins” was a jackpot for our family. The kids enjoyed all the games and the adults loved the sauna and the hot tub. The fire pit and grill were a plus. The area has lots to do within a 30 mile radius. We visited Ritters Winery, Alvin’s Off Road Playground, Lehigh Family train excursion and Bushkill Falls. We paddled around the lake and jumped in the pool. Daniela was a gracious host and checked in frequently to make sure we didn’t need anything.
