We just got back from the best vacation we ever had. The house was roomy and very clean, and well taken care of. We hand fed the deer from the back deck. The bedrooms were big and comfy!! We can't wait to come back next year!!

Owner response:Thanks for the kind words and we are glad you enjoyed your stay. Looking forward to hosting you next year! Thanks, Greg

This House Grows on You!

We just spent a very comfortable 10 days in this woodland home. We arrived after dark and I confess, our first impression was that it was a little run down, but by the time we had unloaded our car and chosen our bedrooms it had begun to charm us. Each day we liked it more and we found the layout very suitable to our needs. Each room has its own thermostat and the 2 back bedrooms (and one bathroom) are reached through one door at the end of a long hall so they are private and insulated from noises in the kitchen and livingroom. The kitchen is bigger than it looks in the pictures and is very well equipped. The washer and dryer are full-size and are located behind folding doors in the hall. Very convenient. The living/dining room has vaulted ceilings, double sliding doors and tall windows that let you see to the tops of the trees. We could snuggle up on the comfy couches and enjoy the autumn scenery. Often we saw squirrel and deer and always we felt close to nature. The deer are so tame you can toss apples to them without scaring them away. We were there during the "off-season" so there was no beach, but we found a place to sit by the lake and enjoy the quiet serenity of the gently lapping water and the visit of a neighborly duck. A highlight for us was a friends & family cookout. The grill is large and perfect for the occasion. (We provided our own propane, but the owner will actually do that for you.) A blazing fire in the firepit added ambiance and warmth and our guests could comfortably sit at the outdoor picnic table. There was plenty of room to park, too. All-in-all a very enjoyable stay, but I don't want to mislead future renters. At the time that we stayed there, the home did need a few upgrades. However, the owner seems very responsive to renter feedback and has already mentioned that he does plan some upgrades to the house. He is easy to do business with and provides some amenities that other owners do not. His rates and rules are also very reasonable and the home is in a good location for vacationers of all seasons.

Owner response:Thank you for the candid feedback Rannie. As discussed offline, we are in the process of installing new carpet in the entire house as well as HDTV in the living room. We are glad you enjoyed yoru stay and look forward to hosting you again in the future.

Had a blast staying here. This house had everything you could want and more I felt very at home. Located in a great area and very close to big boulder and many resturants my two favorites were Shenanigans and Valerios great food and great atmosphere. I can't wait for my next visit. Greg and his staff were very pleasant and a pleasure to work with. I found my home away from home.

We stayed at the house the week after Christmas. The house was quite comfortable and surpassed our needs. The neighborhood was nice and quiets. The bedrooms were quaint and big enough for a week. As a caveat, the bunk bed room's door is in the back connected to the master bedroom. The biggest compliment I can provide is that I would definitely stay here again. It was a good deal for the price.

The Claret Escape is the perfect place for your Pocono Region getaway - the place is situated in a beautiful location, and has 'plenty' of accomodations for visitors. The resort is literally in walking distance, and there are dozens of activities for you and your family to choose from and enjoy. Please don't miss out on this one! I would definitely recommend this stay for anyone who is planning a trip to the area.

In June, my husband and I stayed at Claret Escape for the second time. Each time we rented the house to be near festivals going on at Split Rock. We love Claret Escape. THe owner Greg is very easy to work with. The price is very reasonable and the location can't be beat. We enjoyed walking to Split Rock and Nick's on the Lake. Each are only about a 20 minute walk. The house has eveyrthing you need for a comfortable stay: clean bedrooms, baths and kithcen, comptuer with internet access, beautiful scenery and more. You won't be disappointed if you stay at Claret Escape.
