Clean Big Mountain House

We enjoyed our stay a lot. The house is extremely clean and modern. Great communication with the property manager. Check in and out was very easy. The kitchen is very well stocked for cooking; however, there were scratches on all the cooking pans and they were in very bad condition. They should be replaced. Overall, our stay was great and will come back again.

Poconos getaway

My family & I stayed here for a long weekend. The house was beautiful! It was very easy to get to, and there were good places to go hiking/nature walking nearby, which is what we were there for. The area was a little lacking in food options - seems like it was just a bunch of pizza places - but the house was lovely. It was easy getting in touch with the property manager, too. Would definitely recommend this home!

Comfy getaway

Overall our stay was great. Checkin was easy and available early(even though we weren’t available early ourselves.) Great communication with the property manager about a few minor things. There was some dirty things in the home that we notified them of. The most difficult thing was the smell in the refrigerator/freezer. It smell of fish so terribly that the odor made the things we put in it have that odor on the outside. We notified them of it, but not much could be done. We enjoyed our time at the community pool and had no issues using

House is brand new with quite surroundings. It’s good place for whole family with pets; The host prepared a lot of stuff for guests to cook here, and the spa at back is fantastic for winter time. I would like to recommend my friends to stay here. The trash disposal site is a bit far and the bunk bed is too close to the fan, the kids are easily gets hurt if no one notice.

Winter Wonderland Retreat

Our stay at this ski chalet was nothing short of magical.The hot tub was a delightful bonus after a day on the slopes. The foosball matches at night added an extra layer of fun and family bonding. The chalet’s cozy ambiance and state of the art ammenities made us feel right at home. And the proximity to JFBB? Perfect! We practically rolled out of bed and onto the ski lifts. Highly recommend this chalet for an unforgettable winter escape!" 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Pete M.

Weekend Getaway

My children and I have been looking forward to this weekend for months. They already had their bedrooms picked out etc. When we got there, the house was more beautiful in person than it was in the photos. There were litttle extras that were added and was not in the photos so that was fun. The location was perfect. Everything about the house was perfect. I had one question and Brittany was so quick to respond esp. On a weekend. Our stay was phenomenal, and my children and I cant wait to come back here again! Thank you so much for everything!
