We came to Jim Thorpe for a concert at Penns Peak and had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay at this house. Samuel was a truly wonderful host - he took time out of his evening to help us with a small problem and we truly appreciated his availability and great communication. We look forward to staying here again soon!

Response from VrboOwner on 14 Apr 2025
Leigh and her guests toughed it through unexpected snow and technical difficulties with the theater at the Retreat. She had every right to be upset, yet she was very patient, pleasant and understanding and still says her and her guests enjoyed themselves! I would definitely welcome a do over with this guest!
Theater room is very cool, has a separate office which is nice if you have to work like I did. Easy to find and in a great location. Lots of bedrooms and beds for big family get togethers!
It was amazing! The Theater experience was incredible! Super clean house.

About the host
Hosted by Samuel Everett
My name is Samuel Everett. I serve as a Soldier in the Lord's Army, a DLA Contracting Officer for the Navy, and I am an Army Veteran, father, grandfather, as well as the proud owner and manager of "The Retreat at Bear Creek Lakes!" This dream was placed in my heart by the Lord during the challenging times of the pandemic lockdown. Despite my apprehensions about life and the future, I took a leap of faith, embarked on this journey, and have never looked back. The Retreat was acquired, renovated, designed, and furnished through the Lord's Grace, significant credit card debt, and the kindness of wonderful people I've met over the years.
I uphold and practice the time-honored tradition of customer service. Two years into this venture, my belief and resolve to thrive in this field have only strengthened. We are meant to serve; I have served and will continue to serve. My aim is to attain financial freedom by owning and managing multiple distinctive vacation properties in various year-round vacation locales, and to bless those in need by donating a fully furnished home annually. My guiding principle is "Quality. Commitment. Continued Service."
Why they chose this property
The Pocono Mountains offer an abundance of activities that are budget-friendly! As someone who loves nature and is a beginner at mountain biking, I find the numerous bike paths around Jim Thorpe and its vicinity perfect for riding whenever I have the time. The DL Trail is notably one of the most frequented in the area.
What makes this property unique

Excellent amenities for anyone who is in a wheelchair as well. Highly recommend this for anyone who is disabled or has family members that are. Sam was very proactive with letting us know everything we needed to know. Check in was easy and the house was absolutely spotless! Will definitely be staying again the next time the family comes out this way! Book it if it's available!!!" Anthony, May 2023. "Pictures did not do this place justice!!! beautiful home even better than described. super clean and great size to accommodate my extended family for the weekend. The home movie theater was awesome. my kids/ nieces and nephews couldn't get enough of it." Nirmal, June 2023. "All around amazing place. The chair lift was a great help for my grandmother the downstairs bathroom was so. Convenient. The theater I can't say enough about it. Samual was fast to reply and very attentive to any message I sent. The deck off the back was all fenced in so the pups could be off leash and not go anywhere. I will definitely be booking here again." Michelle, March 2024. "I can’t say enough about this house! The pictures don’t do it justice!! The movie room was amazing! The area was peaceful and quiet and enjoyed waking up and sitting on the deck. Even had deer come through the yard. Samuel was very responsive with any contact. Beautiful home, beautiful area and wonderful host! Would highly recommend and definitely stay again!" Kimberly, May 2024. "This place was wonderful! My friend group and I had a blast and especially enjoyed the movie theater. The kitchen was well equipped, bathrooms well equipped. This space was very modern yet suiting for the location.

I am thankfully for all my guests and their kind reviews!
