☆☆5 STAR REVIEW☆☆
"This is by far the nicest rental property I've ever stayed in. Everything is exactly as pictured and described, and every where you look there's some other nice little touch, from the coffee and espresso provided with the coffee/espresso maker to scented Epsom salts for the master bath. Our little group went on a bike trip earlier in the day which went... Not as well as expected ended in us checking in much later than we planned which meant we didn't get to enjoy it as much as I would have liked (the entire kit provided for making s'mores by the fire pit was SO thoughtful and sweet.) The decor in every room is themed for cabin/forest adventures and it manages to look perfectly rustic and modern at the same time. There are instructions laid out for everything, so there's no guess work. The host communicated with me early and frequently to make sure everything was perfect and it was. The only (very) minor problem we had is the GPS tried to take us way past the house but even this was something the host warned us may happen, and she provided a pin with the exact location that would have prevented our backtracking if we'd used it in the first place. My biggest regret is that we're only here for one night - we will definitely be back again for a longer stay as soon as possible. This place is as comfortable as home with all the luxury and amenities of an upscale hotel. So so so so absolutely perfect, I can't stress it enough. Thank you, Skyla, so much for everything!"

About the host

Hosted by Adventure Hosts NEPA

Host profile image
We have lived in the Poconos' our entire lives & enjoy nature & the outdoors. We love to Hike through Pinchot State forest which is right outside of our house, we love to fly fish in the Lehigh River across the road, & we love to relax with all of our amenities here. We also love the local skiing/snow boarding. We are pet friendly because we have 2 very loved dogs, a 15 year old Siberian Husky & an 8 year old Golden Retriever/Siberian Husky Mix.

Why they chose this property

Because we love all of the beautiful outdoors.

What makes this property unique

The hiking through the backyard & the river across the road.
