Tobyhanna chalet description
This chalet has been recently remodeled with all new floors, paint and many new appliances. The master bedroom contains a queen sized bed, the second bedroom has a full/queen hand hewn cedar bed and the third bedroom is known as the kids' room. The third bedroom has tons of videos, board games, nightlights, a bladeless fan and even a stuffed animal on each bed. The chalet is fully equipped with silver ware, cook ware, two coffee pots (one keurig), a washer/dryer, two showers, a large private lower deck, and a full complement of firewood. There is also a small Weber grill outside and a one person kayak can be available upon request. The lake across the street is electric motor or paddle only and the fishing is catch and release as the idea here is to protect the environment. Less than half a mile down the street is a playground, a basketball court, and tennis courts that are included in the rental price. During the summer months, your rental will also include use of the Olympic sized pool only a few blocks away. Plenty of listed amenities as well as the famous Poconos raceway, ski resorts, water parks, golf courses, and tons of scenic hiking and biking. We hope you enjoy our home as much as we do.

- This location is prime for relaxation not only with the ski resorts nearby, but this chalet is also close to the Great Wolf water park, outlet stores and a nice complement of both casual and fine dining. The small nearby town of Mount Pocono has all of the living essentials such as banks, drug stores, grocery stores, liquor stores, a movie theater, miniature golf, miniature golf and most importantly, good pizza. This location is well known for deer and turkey sightings. If you like the eating, golfing and excitement that is associated with casinos, both the Mount Airy and the Mohegan Sun casinos are close to your temporary home. The local town also has affordable bus transportation into New York City if you wish to see an enchanting Broadway show. The quaint villages of Jim Thorpe and Shawnee are about 30 miles away and they both contain great pubs, arts, hiking, and whitewater. The Poconos have been a highly sought after vacation spot for generations. Come visit and you will see why our customers come back year after year. Enjoy!...moreless

This was a great cabin! It had every amenity we needed for a long weekend including towels, sheets, and paper products. Very clean and decorated very nicely inside. The front porch was great for relaxing and feeding the deer that stopped by daily. We even saw a huge black bear walk right through the front yard! The master bedroom on the first floor was decorated very nicely and very conveniently located beside a full bathroom with a tub/shower. The two bedrooms upstairs were very roomy and shared a very nice sized, clean bathroom with a shower. The house was perfect for 4 adults and our two dogs. I/We loved the cabin and also loved working with the owners as they were very accomodating and friendly to all of our questions and requests! The neighborhood on the other hand was a little to be desired. Many houses are in foreclosure and there was a significant amount of trash along the road. Not what I would have expected in the Poconos. I'm sure the neighborhood was very nice and booming at one point, but was "for lack of better words" a little depressing looking now. I did some research on the area (after our stay) and found that the area is very high in crime.and gang activity... once again not what I expected in the Poconos. It is a shame to me that this cute and well kept little cabin is plopped right in the middle of the scuminess. For the owners sake, I wish they could pick it up and move it to a better more well kept area. Thank you to the owners for sharing your adorable cabin with my family because we truly loved the cabin itself. Unfortunately, due to circumstances that are out of your control (referring to the scumy and shady neighborhood), we probably won't be renting in Tobyhanna again.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, age 55+, pet owners.

My friends and I stayed here in January, and it was perfect. Snow was on the ground and the deer visited us on the deck in the morning. The fireplace was the icing on the cake, and made for the perfect ambiance. I would stay here again for another winter trip. It was a nice hideaway and not far from the slopes.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway.

My family enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The house was comfortable and we were warmed by the terrific fireplace. The home was clean and the decorations added to the house's coziness. It is a good central place for a vacation. Lots of things to do!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, families with young children, pet owners, girls getaway.

We were looking for a warm, cozy, comfortable place for a weekend retreat and we found it! From the moment you pull up to the house, it just feels relaxing. The wood furniture, the amazing fireplace and all the little thoughtful touches make it easy to just hole up and not want to leave. Having the full kitchen (completely stocked with pots/pans/dishes, etc) was awesome as we brought in our own food and did our own cooking. We also brought our own movies, but were thrilled to see the cool selection already provided. We also found the games! Seriously, everything was thought of to make our stay perfect. Thanks for providing all the brochures and maps of area attractions- very convenient. The only bad part of the weekend was having to leave on Sunday (which we put off as long as possible!). I can't wait to go back in the spring and summer to visit the lake and go to the area parks for hiking!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, girls getaway.

Great cozy getaway! I loved how it was decorated, very nicely done. Fireplace is huge and made so comfy, cozy. The deer were unbelievable, I threw out some apple slices and they loved it, a buck came right up to the deck sniffing out the apples! Had dinner at Baileys steakhouse-very good meal at very reasonable prices. Can't wait to go back and hit the casino! Thank you for the great place to stay!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2011
About the owner: We purchased this property last year because we have always wanted a mountain place with a real fireplace that was located in a natural setting. We enjoy geo caching, eating good food, shopping and taking scenic drives. While our main home is in Delaware, we are originally from Pennsylvania and something has been drawing us back home for years. We thought the winter would be our favorite time in the Poconos because we had visions of hitting the slopes, eating at the local brew pub, drying out by the fire, and then getting a relaxing supper at one of the local fine dining locations. The winter was fantastic, but this past summer we also had a blast playing tennis, walking the dog, mountain biking, and exploring lots of local trails. We will probably move up there after we retire, but until then, we would like to share our home with you. We only hope that you enjoy it as much as we have.
Why the Owner Chose Tobyhanna:
We first fell in love with this area as we were biking through the nearby Tobyhanna State Park. We loved the lake, the beach the hiking, the biking, the fishing, the bird-watching and the many opportunities to photograph local wildlife.
The Unique Benefits at this Chalet:
The great, private, yet central location is what truly made us fall in love with this property. Our neighbors are friendly, we are smack in the middle of multiple ski resorts and we can take advantage of both the local restaurants as well as take in a Broadway show. The location offers a multitude of options with something for everyone.
