Welcome to Himmlischer Chateau (Heavenly Home), where the dream, group vacation experience comes together through the eyes of an award-winning developer and Disney engineers. Himmlischer is more than a house – it is an entertainment venue purposely designed for groups of all ages. This may well be the nicest house for rent in the Poconos but why take our word for it, click the photos show link at the bottom and read our customer reviews.

LOCATION
Himmlischer is located at the top of a private four season community complex, offering year round activities. Semi-private Snow skiing (on a taller mountain with longer trails than Jack Frost & Big Boulder) is right out the back door on an exclusive mountain with 6 lifts, lodge, restaurant, bar and food market. You won't get run over while teaching your kids how to ski here and you park just once and ski-in and out the whole week or use our 6 passenger custom limo golf cart to get around in spring, summer, and fall. There is also a fitness center, beach, pool, water slides, horseback riding, fishing, boats and sport courts to use. A spa with indoor pool, golf, rafting, canoeing, paintball, eagle observation area, museums, antiquing and family fun park are all minutes away.

HOUSE DESIGN
The center piece of the top floor is a commercial, Tapan-Yaki steak house kitchen and nicer furniture and cabinets than I have in my own home. Before drafting the house, we blueprinted the fun for every activity and part of our think-tank process was considering where adults and children of each age group would congregate. Adults savor the top floor most often and teenagers congregate in the game room. We put plasma TV’s and DVD players in 3 of the bedrooms so that parents can put cartoons on for toddlers.
The first floor was designed for families with the youngest children in mind. Since they are usually the first to wake up and go to the game room theater, everyone else above them can still get some sleep. We also recognized how hard it can be to get kids to eat when they are having fun, so we put an extra kitchen on this level and a card table.
Every conceivable thing that you will do here, we have done at other rentals and brainstormed about making it better.

FEATURES - Ultra high-end electronics, 25 speakers, 5 plasma TV's, 16' motorized, drop-down TV/movie/PLAYSTATION III screen in living room and a 12' screen in the game room theater WITH X-BOX 360, 3 Jacuzzis, bubble hockey, pool table, gold flake granite counters, kitchen island with 4' wide Tapan-Yaki griddle, just like in a Japanese steak house!
The outside deck and sunken-in living room are both down a step from each other and two steps from the kitchen to maximize the view of the great outdoors and create inclined movie theater-style seating for watching games, movies and TV on the giant 16-foot screen.
We also had custom glass deck railings made so that no matter where you stand or sit, you enjoy a spectacular, unobstructed view from the top floor of the skiers and deer outside.
On the inside we designed a custom 16-foot long leather couch, paired it with four ottomans that fit under a coffee table, and layed out the kitchen so that it forms a second and third elevated row of theater seating and becomes a part of the living room at game time. The leather barrel chairs at the lower island turn to face the screen and people sitting on the bar stools at the upper island see over everyone.

HIMMLISCHER'S KITCHEN
The unique 4' COMMERCIAL griddle in the island, integrated 42" plasma TV/computer and Disney-designed lighting are obvious innovations, but the cabinets and hardwood floors and trim take the term "CUSTOM" to a whole new level. Our designer started by selecting grain-matched maple and mahogany planks. Those were then milled, stained and cleaned in a dust-free spray booth to our specifications and latter became the perfectly matched hardwood floors, doors and trim in the house. If you run your finger over the finish, it is as silky smooth as waxed show car.

LIVING THE DREAM
Imagine entertaining guests around the kitchen island while you gaze out onto the ski slopes watching the night skiers or the deer walk by. At game time, you press a button and an 16 foot TV screen descends over the windows. Better yet, why not sit in the 8 person hot-tub with a frozen drink and enjoy the view from the top floor deck? This house is designed to provide you with every luxury you can imagine while you take in the beauty of the outdoors. Whether it is summer, autumn or spring, this home provides a beautiful setting with plenty to do in the home and surrounding community. In the winter, guests enjoy a very exclusive, semi-private skiing experience, without the dangerous crowds on the slopes and long lift lines that you find elsewhere. With the 4 rechargeable 2-way radios that come with the house, you can let the children ski in and out (day and night) and keep in touch with them as they drift across the living room windows on the chair lift.

  Matthew Geller ,
  • We stayed in the house for a long weekend and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The hot tub/sauna combination was a big hit. The large screen TV's were perfect for watching movies and sporting events. The large kitchen suited all our needs and we had a large group staying there. Being so close to the lodge was a plus as well as we could run over to the store located there for any supplies. We plan on staying here again next year. I recommend this house for anyone planning a Poconos trip. Although it was not ski season, I could see this house would be incredible for a ski trip as well with such easy access to the slopes.

  • Thanks so much for creating such a fabulous place for a family vacation. With 15 of us, it's not always easy to please everyone. Our 7 grandchildren range in age from 4 to 16 and no one was disappointed. The eight adults had a ball gathering in the kitchen while the kids played all the games. Movies were the best on the big screens. The pool was easily accessible and the beach really clean.

  • Our group had a wonderful time in your gorgeous home! It is truly one-of-a-kind and suited our needs perfectly. The location on the mountain is ideal, and the amenities are just amazing. A perfect rental for families and groups of friends for sure. We look forward to another stay!

  • Ed/John, Our stay was just about perfect. I wanted to thank you for renting out your home to our family this past weekend and for being available to answer any questions we had. This is the 4th year I organized a winter retreat and this was, by far, the best place we've stayed at. One has to appreciate all the custom work and detail that went into the home, from the materials, down to the wiring. Playing games and watching movies were amazing on the 16' and 14' projection screens. The house was relatively quiet from floor-to-floor, especially considering how loud the elite sound systems were. The plasma TV in the kitchen was perfect for showing a slideshow of our pictures. We utilized almost every amenity in the house. The location was perfect...we got 2-day rentals for skiing and skiied in/out of the house, which was amazingly convenient considering we normally trek 90 minutes to the closest ski resort from Philly. Even the lodge was only a 2-minute walk from the house. I could really go on and on about how much we enjoyed our stay, but I'd just like you to know that all our guests thanked me for spotting such a great find. My only complaint is that we didn't stay long enough. Thanks and I hope to rent again soon!

  • Just wanted to say we had the best time at this home. We rented it the weekend of 11/21/2008 for my birthday. We had a mixed group of people but this house had everything you could possibly need to have a great time. Hope to come back next year!!!

  • John, Our experience at the Himmlisher Chateau was absolutely wonderful. The house was remarkably clean and the atmosphere, so relaxing. We were just there last week and look forward to returning next year. Truly felt like our home away from home, and no one wanted to leave!! 11/14/2008

  • My husband and I stayed at this property with 3 other couples the first week of Nov08. I was thrilled to find that the house was immaculately clean. The bedrooms were more spacious than the pictures portrayed. We were so comfortable in the house with all of its amenities that we ventured out only once. The community is very quiet. The house is very relaxing and definitely family-friendly - I hope to book again soon!

  • The house is beautiful. Very new and clean with great amenities such as the 14' TV screen, hot tub, game room which everyone enjoyed-adults and children alike. Masthope Mtn. has alot to do in the summer such as the beautiful lake with beach, pool and horse back riding. Beautiful, well-kept community!

  • 4/25/08 - JOHN, We had the greatest time my husband rented the house for my 40th birthday for me and my girlfriends the age group was from 18 to 60 we had a blast. This is the 2nd time I had rented this house we previously rented it for superbowl sunday and it only gets better. We had fun just sitting around and hanging in the house to going to the lodge on Saturday playing bingo and going to the bar for kariokee. Well I am sure this won't be the last time we will be staying. Thanks Roseann

  • John the house was great, the mountain was great and everyone we delt with from the lift attendents to the people in the front office are great. We had 18 people in our party including children starting with a 3year old and going up. Everyone had a blast and can't wait until next year. We fit everyone in the house and still had plenty of room. The kids enjoyed the downstairs while the adults enjoyed the upstairs. The skiing was excellent and although we had one night of rain the conditons were great. Looking forward to next year. Rob and Natalie Morris
