Nice place. Cleaning wasn’t good but manager was very attentive and apologetic. Could update the living room furniture as the springs are worn out. Great location and outside is beautiful. Had around 12 deer in the yard last night.

My friends and I stayed here for a birthday party due to covid shutting everything down, and it exceeded our expectations. Perfect spot with tons of activities and food around. We couldn’t get the fireplace to work but Susan offered to drive all the way to come and fix it! It was a nice weekend so the fireplace wasn’t needed at all, but it was still a very nice gesture. Overall, a perfect place to stay for a group of 6.

Stayed at the cottage with my family for a socially distant 21st birthday getaway for my son. Very beautiful and cozy! Throughout the house, everything was neat, organized, and clean. We brought already prepared food with us but had I had to cook a small, separate meal for my husband due to his allergies. Everything I needed was in that kitchen which made it feel like home. It is also important for me to note that my son has Autism. He was very comfortable there and loved spending his birthday weekend at "the Birthday House"! Susan was easy to reach and very responsive. She made the process very simple from start to finish. I highly recommend!

I would absolutely recommend this property. Its the perfect size, everything you need for a weekend getaway is already there. It was clean, and the backyard view was beautiful. We really enjoyed watching the deer walk through the yard. It was easy to find and the owner made the whole process very easy.

My friends and I wanted a relaxing getaway with a beautiful scenery, a quiet area and having a responsive property manager was the best. Any issues she responded right away. This place gave us exactly what we needed. Everyone was nice wherever we went. We would come back here every time we visit.

My boyfriend and I enjoyed staying here! The cottage was bigger than expected and very cute. It was also nice that the two lower level bedrooms lead straight to the deck. The outdoor lights were beautiful at night and the fire pit was easy to set up. Everything was clean and organized! We also were in love with the fireplace on cold nights. One thing I would say could use improvement are the couches. They were a little tough to sit on because you sunk in too far as if there wasn’t anymore support, but otherwise no issues! Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

We stayed MLK to ski. Cozy cottage, plenty of cookware, spices, etc. Very clean. Owner was very responsive to any questions we had. Good location. Would stay again.

Great experience all around

My girlfriend and I made a last minute decision to go away for the weekend some place that was covered safe and we wouldn't necessarily have to leave the location for food or drink. It was a short 75 minute drive from my home to the cottage. Susan was extremely responsive and helpful before enduring the stay. We made extensive Use of the gas fireplace and outside grill. We were able to use the fire pit only one night but It worked fine using a handheld lighter provided. One thing I did not notice when I booked the cottage was the fact that it has a full kitchen except there is no oven. I have brought some frozen pizzas that I thought about trying to cook on the grill but instead I took a ride down to the local meat store only a couple miles away and got some beautiful cuts of steak and chicken. Due to Covid 19, most of the local shops were closed but because we are only there for a couple days, it really did not matter. We will look forward to coming back in the spring or summer time post Coverd 19 to take full advantage of all the surrounding amenities and scenery.

The home was just as described. Loved the gas fireplace! The bed was comfortable enough. Kitchen had what we needed, but the pots and pans were pretty rough. Would love to stay in the summer and enjoy the deck.

Beautiful house. Made you feel cozy and loved the atmosphere. Great location. I will be booking another stay there soon

The house was very much to our liking. It was clean, well stocked with amenities, and much bigger than originally thought. Location is great. Highly recommend it.

This is a nice house and mostly well kept. Quiet area and a lot of fresh air. In general, some of the things inside the house need a slight improvement.

Good

The cottage is beautiful and cozy. This is our second stay and we couldn't imagine staying anywhere else in the area. Thanks again Susan!

The property was lovely. The house was as advertised, actually felt bigger than pictures made it look, and had many thoughtful and convenient touches (like portable fans, throws on backs of couches, food and drinks in kitchen for our use). We appreciated that it is not cluttered with lots of fussy decorative or personal items, like some places we have stayed. The bed was very comfortable and the two window A/C units did a good job of cooling the place down (it was much too warm upon arrival). We didn't cook but the kitchen seemed well-stocked and there is now a nice block of good knives. Note there is no oven but that didn't affect us. Owner was very responsive to our texts and questions before and after arrival. Our only less-than-wonderful comment is that the day of our arrival the private association beach and waterfront were closed until further notice due to E. coli contamination. This is not the owner's fault nor anything she has control over! But it should be noted; we were hoping to swim and kayak and that was out. We learned that all the lakes in the area are man-made and upon driving to check them out decided not to use them. The private pool/clubhouse area was teeming with children; if you are traveling with kids they will find plenty of playmates but for couples like us with grown children that was a bit much. We did spend a fun day in nearby Jim Thorpe; we enjoyed the Lehigh Valley Scenic Railway and the Asa Packer Mansion tour, and we also had a great lunch at Marion Hose in a former firehouse. But the area of the house itself doesn't have much to do unless you are into adventure-type stuff: go-karts, paintball, whitewater rafting, skiing and the like. We'd like to return to do some of the bike trail when it's not so hot out. The cottage is a great place to relax and unwind; very peaceful, deer strolling all over the place, nice decks front and back. If you're looking for a quiet getaway this is a good place for it.

My friends and I had an unforgettable weekend at Susan's cottage. We really enjoyed all of spaces in this cottage, especially the indoor and outdoor gas fireplaces. The cottage was very clean when we arrived, the beds were comfortable, and linens were clean. This cottage was 15-20 minute drive from Jack Frost and Big Boulder which was really nice for us. Susan was super responsive throughout our entire booking process and stay at her home. She's more than happy to answer any and all questions. She also leaves explicit instructions on what to do in all cases during the stay. We felt very comfortable and welcomed by her. We loved the cottage, but had one issue during our stay. My friends and I cooked breakfast and dinner during our stay. Despite the cooking wares, plates, utensils, and cups she provides, we wish there would have been a chefs knife available to us. This was the only thing we felt was missing because it made chopping up ingredients a bit difficult(there were other types of knives available though, so we made due). If you don't plan on cooking during your stay then this shouldn't be an issue for you. Thank you Susan for being such a stellar host! We cant wait to return next winter to stay at your cottage again.

Clean,cozy and comfortable. Almost every touch and need was provided. Owner very responsive. There is no oven in the house, but we made it work. Just be prepared and plan accordingly as we were taken by surprise. The dishes/plates were limited as well as cutting knives but again we made it work. Would definitely rent again!

We had a wonderful time!! This property is so well maintained and cute. I will recommend it to all my family & friends!! I am considering a holiday trip soon..

We were very impressed with the cottage. Very clean and had everything we needed for a great weekend. The owner was a pleasure to work with. Would recommend this cottage to everyone.

Our stay at Susan’s cottage was wonderful! It was clean, exactly as described and much more spacious than looked online. It was perfect for our short stay over the weekend to go skiing at JFBB. Only 10 minutes from the slopes, 5 minutes to local shops and restaurants. Susan supplied everything we didn’t think of- such as tide pods, coffee& creamer, and bandaids! Appliances were modern and up to date, which are hard to come by in some rentals in the area. The fireplace was a cozy addition to the cottage, perfect to come home to from a day of skiing! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful place to stay in the Poconos. We did not want to leave!

My sister & our partners spent President's Day Weekend here! We had an amazing time & it was exactly as described. Everything was very neat & clean when we arrived. The living room was very cozy with a couch, loveseat, and chair along with a fireplace and TV. The TV was hooked to the wifi so we hooked into our Netflix account to watch movies together! The dining room table was a perfect size for the four of us to eat and play games on. The kitchen does not have an oven so plan your cooking accordingly! Also there are minimal knives & pans so if you are cooking large quantities or extravagant dishes I'd suggest to bring some along. The dishwasher was very helpful for cleanup. The loft bedroom was very cozy but be sure to turn the heat down well before bed as it does get very toasty up there! The master bedroom was perfect. The bathroom was small but functional. There is a deck on front of the house & out back of the house. Unfortunately February did not allow us to enjoy those. However we did get about 4-5 inches of snow during our stay & their was a shovel & salt easily accessible! Susan was very helpful at all steps of the trip- before, during, and after! Any questions I had she answered promptly and helped us to make this trip a success. We had a great time in & out of the cottage in the surrounding areas. I would highly recommend staying here!

Went to this beautiful cottage to get away from it all! I have never felt more relaxed and stress-free. It was great to have a fire in the fireplace and just relax with a book while enjoying the peace and quiet. The house was very organized and clean. There were plenty of clean towels and sheets for our stay. We enjoyed the deer in the back yard and the ability to stay somewhere that felt like home. The owners provided us with free bottled waters and snacks for our stay. It was nice to be able to cook instead of having to spend money and go out every meal. We were able to go skiing one night and the trip was very short. We came home and could thaw by the fire which was a great experience. If you are looking for a fun yet inexpensive get away this cottage is the best place to go! You will not regret your stay!
