Bachelor Weekend

Date of Stay: 01/27/12 Review Submitted: 02/07/12

The place was in great condition and exactly what we were looking for. Plenty of space and we made good use of the activities in the basement (pool table, fooseball, air hockey, darts, piano). We also enjoyed hanging out in the jaccuzzi and sitting by the fire pit out front. Most of the amenities were provided. Also, there is a lot of options nearby (shooting range, paintball, skiing, casino...). We ended up playing paintball all day Saturday and hung out at the cabin the rest of the weekend. Couldn't have asked for a better weekend getaway! Thanks Vic!

Ski vacation

The cabin is beautiful, very clean and well-maintained. Tastefully decorated. Loved the huge wooden table in the dining room. We were a group of 11 adults (4 couples and 3 singles). We stayed for two nights in January and enjoyed every minute of it. You can hear the river from the huge deck. There are two decks on both sides of the house. Game room is great and spacious with a lot of games. Hot tub outside was very clean and nice but a bit small ( ideally no more than for 4 people) but still we managed to enjoyed it. We did a lot of cooking, so I wish there were more frying pans (it was only one there), better knifes and few more cutting boards. But there were plenty of pots and dishes and coffee mugs. Another thing is, since there are only 4 beds (beautiful beds by the way, looks like they were custom made to match the rustic look of a log cabin) and your are planning to have more than 8 people, you have to bring your own air mattresses or sleep on the couches in the leaving room/game room. If you don't mind that then you are good to go. The rooms are so nice I didn't want to share my room with anybody! :) The cabin has great location! We wanted to ski and the cabin is very close to the ski resort, about 10-15 min (Jack Frost Big Boulder) The grocery and liquor store are very close too. The owner,Vic, was very pleasant and was very easy to communicate with. I would defiantly recommend this place to a friend or relative and hope to come back again !!! Thanks Vic !!!

Thanksgiving 2011

My family and I stayed at Vic's cabin for Thanksgiving 2011. He is extremely easy to deal with and answered all of our questions. This was by far the best place we have ever stayed at in the Poconos. I have to say, the pictures do not do this place justice. The cabin is huge and its surroundings are beautiful. We hope to get back soon!

Birthday celebration

Guest: Priti (New jersey)
Date of Stay: 10/21/11 Review Submitted: 10/26/11

Our stay at the lodge was spectacular! All our friends who had gathered there over the weekend had a fabulous time. The property is very well maintained and is well equipped. Only suggestion would be to have better organized cabinets and closets. This really does not impact the stay at all but it just helps to have stuff more organized if one is looking for something. Thank you for the lovely memories and will definitely recommend the lodge to our friends and family.

Owner response:Priti and her group were perfect renters! See you next rental! Thanks! Vic (owner)

I rented the cabin for a weekend with 15 friends. The cabin is well maintained and gorgeous. Very quiet setting. The pool table and air hockey were super convenient during rainy periods. Conveniently located. The owner was easy to work with and everything was very smooth. I would definitely rent again!

Owner response:Andy and his group were perfect renters in every way. See you next rental! Thank you. Vic (owner)

I threw my brother's bachelor party at this house over Columbus weekend and by all accounts it was an enormous success. The house is perfect for a guys getaway weekend, a large family gathering, or for four couples. The layout is expansive and nicely done and the grounds and views are wonderful. The town of white haven is cute and quaint with enough to satisfy, the local golf courses are splendid, and there is a ton of ourdoor activities close by. I would not be surprised at all if several of my friends rent this place in the future for various getaways. AAAA+++ Awesome and memorable!

Owner response:Chad and his group were perfect renters! See you next rental! Thanks! Vic (owner)

Fantastic Weekend at Great Cabin

Guest: Ariel E.
Date of Stay: 08/19/11 Review Submitted: 09/06/11

I rented the cabin for an end of season celebration for my soccer team. The cabin more than comfortably slept 10 of us (probably could have had 4-6 more people). The kitchen and living room areas were great for large meals and we enjoyed the outdoor decks/hot tub/game room a lot as well. The owner answered all of my calls/email before arrival and during my stay and was able to solve the minor problems that arose during our vacation. I would highly recommend this cabin for any group looking for a fun weekend out in the woods.

Phenomenol Experience

Date of Stay: 08/11/11 Review Submitted: 08/18/11

Where to start... From beginning to end our experience with Vic and his beautiful cabin were nothing but a pleasure! Once we agreed to rent the house for my brother's bachelor party Vic sent over an email with at least 10 links for activities in the area. The house was so great though, to be honest we barely left! The house was in immaculate condition, clean and ready for us to get comfortable in! There were about 11 of us at most and there was plenty of room to hang out and party in. From the hot tub, to the grill, fire pit, poot table and air hockey plenty to do. As far as outside activities two casinos within 30 minute drive, paint ball, rafting and a gentleman's club that was BYOB! All in all a great weekend and Vic makes the whole process easy. Completely recommended! You won't be dissappointed.

Big Shoes to Fill

Guest: Cindy T. (Minneapolis, Minnesota)
Date of Stay: 07/23/11 Review Submitted: 07/30/11

We had owned a one-bathroom, two-bedroom cabin in Wisconsin for several years, and we'd enjoyed a very special Cabin Week with kids and grandkids every summer. We had Campfire Olympics, the Camp Spirit award, Hoof-Duh events, annual What Do You Remember quiz, the never-ending story of Mejato, Cianto and the Chcomanima'antajo tribe, boating, swimming, making keepsakes, taking day trips, etc. We promised the grandkids new adventures, but there still were a lot of sad faces when we sold our little northwoods cabin in October. We knew it might be challenging to fill those big shoes. Our first new adventure (just this past week) was taking the 10 of us Minnesotans out east to Pennsylvania where six more of our family live. Vic's cabin quickly became "our" cabin. The seven adults and nine grandkids (ranging in age from 6 to 18) had plenty of room, and no one was ever bored - between the keyboard, pool table, foos ball, air hockey, firepit, hot tub, games, hikes to the waterfall/boulders, walking the trail to town, trip to Camel Beach waterpark, a day in NYC, golfing, fabulous meals (we HIGHLY recommend the Powerhouse Eatery, and Antonio's Pizza was really good, as well) -- plus we enjoyed the old traditions, too. Thanks, Vic, for providing such a comfortable, beautiful place to kick off our family's new tradition -- a Traveling Cabin Week. We'd love to come back, but if we cannot, this was a week and a cabin we will never forget. Merlin and Cindy Tolsma Savage, MN

Weekend Getaway

I just got back from spending a long weekend at this getaway for my brothers bachelor party. When looking for a place I had several factors in mind, isolation, games, enough sleeping space and a view. This place could not have been a better location. We had a large group, but there were enough couches and floor space for air mattresses to make sleeping easy. If the weather was 100% nice I would have slept on the deck! Once we pulled down the stone road we knew we found what we were looking for. Walking into the downstairs game room was excellent, providing us with endless hours of fun. We spent Thursday night with a round robin of games. We brought some of our own yard games and set up in the driveway with a work light. Friday was spent with a group going golfing while others went rafting. I suggest Blue Ridge Trail Golf course. It was a nice course with a few challenging holes and the price is unbeatable. The town is really close, which is perfect for those quick shopping trips for food or beer runs. Jimbo’s is a bit farther away but has a better service/selection. White Haven Family Diner made for a good breakfast on Saturday morning. The rest of our Saturday was spent outside enjoying the weather and yard games as well as a hike down to the river. Vic was a great person to rent from. This was my first time handling the rental arrangements for a party and it could not have been easier. Vic made the process quick simple and painless. All around this is just a great cabin to grab for the weekend and enjoy time away from home. Everyone in the group was very happy and had a great time. Thank you!!! - Justin
