Including free WiFi via a high end router, you, your friends and family (and pets!) will have plenty of comfortable space to spread out and work, school or play. Read our reviews! The house layout is great for multiple families coming together for a vacation with enough room to spread out.
While on your stay, you have much to enjoy at the chalet. If you enter from the ground floor, you'll find the first of two wood-burning stone fireplaces (firewood provided!), a pool table, a large sectional couch with multiple reclining seats for enjoying the tv with Roku, cable, a DVD player, Nintendo Wii and sound bar. There's also a full bathroom, 3 bedrooms and a full-sized washer and dryer. Head up the steps to the second/main floor and to the right, you will see another full bathroom and King bedroom (with iron and ironing board) and the main bedroom including a King bed, TV with Roku, an en suite bathroom and its own private sliding door to the wraparound deck. On this main floor, enjoy a warm and large open floor plan with tons of windows and light, high ceilings, a kitchen that has granite counters and all the cookware needed for your stay. There’s a dining table that seats 8-10, another sectional couch with a reclining seat and chaise, a second large wood-burning stone fireplace, a 65” Smart TV, cable, DVD player (with 3 drawers full of movies) Roku and sound bar for more game and movie enjoyment. You can head upstairs to the loft and play foosball, bubble hockey, board games or work from the desk or relax on the comfortable couches.
We are in the highest point of the Poconos so it typically stays cool in the house at night during warm weather months but we do have Mitsubishi split system ready for your air conditioned comfort and box fans in every bedroom. Outside, enjoy s'mores and relaxing by the fire pit, play a game of soccer, baseball or cornhole in the yard. We have 2 childrens bicycles (two wheel; no training wheels), a Razor scooter, ladder ball, can jam and extra chairs for the fire pit or lake available for your use. We also have a charcoal grill, parking for many and wood for the fireplaces. You can also have an adventure and find your own sticks and wood for the fire pit in the wooded lot that’s yours for exploring. Thank you for booking!
