Just got back from a long weekend with our 2 children, their spouses and are 2 new (3months old) grandchildren. What a wonderful place to just kick back and visit. I think my daughter and daughter-in-law were in the cabin 5 minutes when they jumped into the hot tub! It was a chilly, rainy weekend but the sunrise over the gorge was still awesome and the hot tub is fun in the sun or the rain. A perfect way to relax at the end of the day. The cabin is great, it has everything and we felt right at home. Thank you for a wonderful time for us to be together as a family.

Owner response:I am very happy that the family had a nice time at the log home. The view from the deck and hot tub is outstanding - in fact when I stay there I like to sleep in the great room because of the beautiful view - rain, snow or shine. The family were wonderful guests - hope they return in the future. Neil

11 of us, warm July weekend. It was a bachelor party/reunion for the college gang. We enjoyed every aspect of the house...I'll just go ahead and list them. Good space on the driveway for parking. Then you walk into the Sierra Vista and it's spacious, clean, and welcoming. Air-conditioning available. We made full use of the refrigerator, freezer (with ice machine included), propane BBQ grill, stove, oven, cooking equipment, dishwasher, pool table, Amish table for card games, downstairs bar, and TVs. One of us even got into the hot tub on the deck. There's a firepit outside too. A dumpster for your trash is conveniently located just a few yards down the road. The house matches what you see in the pictures and the sleeping arrangements are very convenient. 3 levels and outdoor access from the bottom two. 3 excellent bathrooms too. We were able to give the bachelor his own queen bed and bathroom. Within 30 minutes to rafting and paintball. Within 10 minutes to a supermarket, pizza place, liquor store, gas station, and ice cream parlor. Not far off of Route 80. Nice scenic drives all around too. The owner is very courteous and accessible via email/phone. Thanks a lot Neil. We'll do our best to return soon.

Owner response:Mario and Neeraj, I am very glad you chose to have your bachelor party at the SIERRA VISTA log home. It was very good that you had the opportunity to participate in some of the activities in the area. It was a pleasure for us to have you in our vacation home - you were ideal guests. Neil

Hey Neil, My family and I would like to thank you for all your generosity you showed us during our stay. We all had a very relaxing yet fun filled week in your beautiful home.It was just so nice sitting on the back deck every evening after a long day of running around the area( bushkill, white water rafting, horseback riding,jim thorpe etc.) and just staring out over the "50 mile view" while our son cooked dinner on the grill every night!! We are definately going to return at some point in the future because it is so rare being able to find someone you can rely on to make your vacation a resounding success in every way! Thanks again Neil, Mike and Tracey

Owner response:Mike and Tracey, Thank you very much for the kind comments about your stay in the SIERRA VISTA chalet log home. I am glad you had a nice time in the log home and appreciated the "50 mile view." Also, the Lehigh River Gorge is a favorite area for my family - whitewater rafting and the bike trail leading to Jim Thorpe. It was, indeed, an honor for us to have you stay in our vacation home. Please return in the near future to relax and see more of the Poconos. Neil

Just spent this past weekend with 13 friends at the house and we had an amazing time! I would definitely recommend this house if you want to get away for a weekend and have a great time! The house had everything we needed, provided for us. We will definitely be going back as soon as possible!

I recently spent a weekend there with 15 of my friends. The house is huge, plenty of room for everyone. Fire pit was amazing and house is gorgeous. I also must say the owner is a pleasure to deal with and the house keeping lady is a dear as well. Everytime I go to one of the owners houses, I always comeback and try to plan another trip. Love the house and definately look forward to returning soon

A Great Escape

This is an excellent place to stay! I rented Neil's cabin for a college reunion weekend and it was a great place to reunite with friends, relax and enjoy the surroundings. The cabin had plenty of room for our group of 13 and did not disappoint. The hot tub and pool table were great to have at our disposal and sitting on the deck and looking at the view is worth the price of admission. The town of white haven is not far at all which has a supermarket and other stores which makes it easy if you forget to bring something. The side yard has a fire pit which was great to use at night and relax outside. You will enjoy your stay at this wonderful cabin.

We rented Neil's beautiful log cabin in early August to go whitewater rafting. It was everything we could expect. The view off the deck was great and well worth the trip. Everything inside is very nice and well kept. Neil was very easy to reach and was a pleasure to deal with. If we go rafting again we will definitely look at renting this house again.

Amazing Place to get away

The place was beyond beautiful, the pictures do not do it justice. We went in a big group of friends and had an amazing time. It is also really close to lake harmony, where you can rent boats and canoes and such.... really amazing place, clean, cozy, has a great view with all the necessary amenities.
