This was a beautiful place. Very open and spacious. The owner got back to me within a few minutes every time I reached out to her. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Thank you! We enjoyed having you as a guest as well.
Place was just what we needed for a family get away. Close enough to Jim Thorpe, Lehigh Gorge State Park, white water rafting, etc. but far enough that you were away from all the hustle and bustle!

Thank you for the 5 star review. You were ideal guests. We appreciate you!
The home was lovely and perfect for our family trip with 2 small children and 2 dogs. The home was clean and spacious and any instructions were clearly written. As a bonus, the host was very sweet and very responsive to all messages. The house is in a quiet and secluded area but was still a short drive to downtown and any other places we wanted to visit during our stay. We already are talking about planning a trip back!
The kitchen was stocked very well for a rental. The only worry was the fact that there was well water and the suggestion to boil and not drink. Yet that wasnt a problem.

Thank you for the 5 star review. We err on the side of caution with the well water even though we have a filter on the system. You were great guests!
Not enough outdoor room for our dogs. House was fine.

We enjoyed having you! We’re pet friendly because we too love our family pets. Between the private roads off our driveway & our large property we feel it’s a pups paradise. You were a great guest & we appreciate your review.
Great house, great location..very relaxing!! Also, was in close proximity to a lot of fun things to do, without being in the hustle and bustle of town.
Had so much fun staying at this house. The property is really great and secluded which made it a perfect place to stay to get away for a weekend. Would definitely stay there again.

had a great stay!
Some friends and I met here for a couple nights in December -- we had a great time! There was plenty of space for everyone, and everything we needed for a couple days and nights: fireplace, kitchen, a place to park ourselves to play cards. I'd be more than happy to rent this place again!

Excellent private getaway cabin
Property was very private and secluded but yet close enough to many area attractions. Property was very clean and has a nice open floor plan. Owner is quick to respond with any concerns, would definitely stay again.
With so much to see in the area, this house was the perfect "hide-away" although close to everything. Booking and communication with the owner was easy and the house offered everything you'd expect.
This house worked perfect for myself, my wofe, and two kids. Plenty of space and very functional. Great location close to hickory run and not far from the raceway. We would stay again for sure!
Beautiful property nestled amongst the rhododendrons. Close to Jim Thorpe and other sights. I would highly recommend this home.

About the host
Hosted by Catherine
Our family lives on busy Long Island which affords us wonderful waterfront and beaches. We have extended family in PA and wanted our own piece of paradise nearby so we ventured out in 2003 and bought this warm, charming, country home. It was love at first sight!
Why they chose this property
When looking for a vacation rental I wanted something my own family would enjoy too. I wanted a country feel in the woods to get us away from our hectic lives. This home is 10 miles off Route 80 at Exit 284. It's just 110 miles from NYC. It was in the perfect location. Extremely private, easy to get to, only a few hours drive and plenty of things to do in the surrounding area. I hope your family loves this home as much as mine does.
What makes this property unique
The family room is my paradise. There are 15 floor to ceiling windows for a panoramic view of the woods. This is where you'll see wild life grazing or just passing through. You'll see for yourself if you join us!
