Modern house with all amenities

Excellent property with modern ammenities. Nice fireplace with bluetooth speakers interconnected. Basement was perfect for kids for entertainment and privacy. Heated bathroom floor, front gas firepit and private deck with nice view. Not complaint about my stay. Only suggestions is the rental agreement should be part of the Vrbo process for more transperency and accountability. Overall, excellent property to retreat from fast paced life.

Nice house, room for everyone

We were in the area for a family wedding. Our group included adults 50+ and 80+ as well as a 12 year old. Great for the seniors to have a first floor bedroom and bath. An additional primary bedroom with bath and 2 more bedrooms and shared bath upstairs made sure there was room for everyone. Great to have the ping pong and other games downstairs. Be prepared if you are not used to mountain roads. Host was ver communicative and helpful.

Beautiful Home in Remote Pick County

Our home was all set for our visit, very clean and well equipped. We enjoyed the remote location, but within a resort area with access to food/amenities without having to drive a long distance to a store. The home backs up to a ski resort (Big Bear) and is a beautiful area for hiking Everything provided was fresh/clean. We had a wonderful weekend!

Wonderful Weekend Getaway

This was an amazing family weekend getaway! The house was beautiful, very well appointed and extremely clean! It had all the amenities and then some to make our time there even more enjoyable. The fact that we could walk 150 feet to get to the slopes was an experience we will never forget. Phil and Susan were the ideal hosts - very easy to work with and super responsive when needed. Definitely recommend!

Enjoyable family stay

We stayed here in early autumn to visit the natural and historic areas nearby on the upper Delaware River. The house was spacious and the kitchen was particularly well equipped. The location was convenient to the sites we wanted to see. It is situated in a wooded area and one can walk to the ski slopes. There is adequate overhead lighting but we would have appreciated a few reading lamps in the common area and bedrooms. Renters should be aware that they are responsible for disposing of trash at a community compacting station. The hosts were excellent at communicating with us and ensuring everything went well.

Great Stay

House was as advertised, in a great community with plenty of amenities and activities to keep everyone occupied. Great home to rent with the family. Plenty of space and very comfortable. Ping Pong table added to the enjoyment. Took advantage of the backyard bbq and deck many evenings. Owners were extremely responsive, informative and a pleasure to deal with.

A quiet and clean house tucked away in the woods

My friends and I plan a trip every year together and Susan and Philip's home was wonderful! It was so clean, quiet, and enough rooms for all of us. We used every part of the house, including the outdoor grill and seating area. The house is newly renovated, and the bathrooms were super clean. Susan and Philip were great with communicating, had absolute no problems there. They answered all questions I had and were very accommodating. We took advantage of the community lake, which the house includes passes for. We even went kayaking around the lake, which was a highlight of the trip. The house has beach chairs and towels. My friends enjoyed playing tennis. It was a great trip! Also, the house is located in a dead end so it's very safe for those who may have children. We saw chalk art from the previous people who stayed, brought back memories from my childhood. Highly recommend staying here for a quiet getaway.

Perfect getaway!

We had a great time staying in the ski in and ski out house. The location was great and the house was very clean and well stocked. The grill and wood burning fireplace were both a perfect addition. Very comfortable beds and plenty of room for our family. The bathrooms had heated floors and the basement mud room was perfect for undressing from the mountain. Great host and we look forward to returning for another visit. Ski big bear is a great small family mountain and the food at the on-site restaurant was great.

Amazing house!

This property was one of the best we've experienced in all of our travels. The house was immaculately clean, and was exactly as described on the website. Very well appointed! The owners are incredible as well.....very easy to communicate with and truly care about your satisfaction with the house and your overall stay. So much more personal than when renting through an agency. We hope to be back again!

We absolutely loved our stay here! The house and the community are PERFECT for families with young children, and our kids had the best time here this summer. The owners are wonderful hosts -- I can't say enough good things about them -- and the property is clean, beautifully renovated and modern, all while close to nature and ski/beach. We can't wait to come back!

Beautiful Pocono Getaway

One of the best cabins we have ever rented. Very clean and updated. Owners are very responsive & helpful. They went out of their way to ensure we had a perfect stay. The Masthope community area is beautiful. The Ski Big Bear slopes are practically in your backyard. Our family of 10 enjoyed the daily visits from the white tailed deer & wild turkeys. It was the perfect spot to start & end each day.

About the host

Hosted by Philip Balzafiore

My wife and I rented a house in Masthope ourselves for the last 6 years, at times for an entire season. We came across this house in early 2017 and immediately fell in love with it. We thought to rent the house to others while we aren't using it because of the wonderful experiences our family has had in all of those years renting in Masthope.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property in 2017 almost on the spot because of its incredible location (winter ski-in, ski-out, private culdesac in the summer, spring and fall), extreme cleanliness and well-kept features.

What makes this property unique

Ski-in, ski out direct slope access in winter, private culdesac location, located in the amenity-filled Masthope community.
