This vrbo home was very clean and well taken care of. It was very comfortable with plenty of room for family and friends BBQ's. When the bbq tank went low after we used it a couple of times the host brought a new one immediately. I have only good things to say about this vrbo, and we were there for nearly a month. The host Ash made everything easy from beginning to end. Everything was in proper working order, The community is also beautiful, with an easy to go to lake and restaurant right there. The community is also very family friendly. I have nothing but good things to say about the property, the area, the host. Perfect stay

Thank you for your kind review. We would love to host you again.
The house was neat, clean and organized. Perfect for a group of 8-10. Game room was a little smaller than advertised and the kids didn't use it as much. The property didn't have the grass cut and weeds were overgrown. Other than that, our family did have a great time. There was plenty of propane for the outdoor grill and fire pit, the house and beds and towels were all very clean. Quiet street set back in Towamensing trails where the kids could play outside without any worries. Communicating with the host throughout the trip was quick, efficient, and seamless.

Hi Chuck, Thank you for the kind review. So glad you and your family had a great time! We’ve since taken care of the grass and weeds, and the game room is exactly as described in the listing. Hope to host you again soon!
We had a great stay with family. Liked the community amenities. Kids loved seeing all the deer out there. House is well maintained and stocked. We would definitely stay here again in the future!

Thank you for the great review! Come back and stay again!
Clean, modern, nice amenities, and about 17 minutes from adorable Jim Thorpe! We would definitely stay again. Just note, there is no coffee maker only a Keurig so bring your own pods, not grinds 😊
Our stay with StarZ Nest was absolutely wonderful. The property was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared for guests. From the moment we arrived, everything felt welcoming and well taken care of.What really stood out was how responsive and attentive the host was. Any questions we had were answered almost immediately, which made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. It truly felt like they went above and beyond to make us feel right at home.We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and would definitely rent from StarZ Nest in the future. Highly recommended!

Hi Jon, We really appreciate the kind review. We would love to host you again.
Great amenities with everything you need in the kitchen. Very clean. Pet friendly. Close to Hickory Run where we spent our time hiking with our dog. We enjoyed our evenings on the deck watching the deer.
We just visited this past weekend for a family skiing weekend. The house was perfect - so nicely decorated and clean! The check-in and check-out process was very easy. I highly recommend this home!! Great time!

The house is extremely clean and comfortable. The kitchen is very well stocked for cooking. Check in and out were easy and response time from the property manager was very fast. The house is in a great location to easily drive to Jim Thorpe, Hickory Run and many other trails and activities. We would love to stay again!
Absolutely perfect home our family getaway.Fully equipped kitchen, televisions in every room, excellent wifi connection, tabletop fire burner for outside family gatherings and of course s'mores making.A very nice outdoor grill.Access to the community pool, clubhouse and beach area.The host communication was also excellent.Would highly recommend this lovely home.
The home was a perfect location for a weekend reunion for our friends. The kitchen was fully stocked so we didn't have to eat out. Even though we did - there are great restaurants in close proximity. The host was responsive and met our needs.

Thanks for staying with us Krista, we love our local restaurants too!
Really nice place...a bit remote but convenient to Jim Thorpe area...communication with manager was clear and easy...be aware that trash disposal is not close by so build in extra time for checkout...nice layout for the family together and privacy...we would definitely stay again.
Friends! I am so excited to share this Winterplace review with you. The boys and I spent last weekend in the Pocono Mountains in a beautiful Ski Chalet enjoying all the immenities it had to offer and we had the BEST time!
An amazing Memorial Day weekend with the family. Beautiful home. Perfect weekend of relaxation. Amenities are also great. The kids enjoyed the community pool and the lake very much. Even saw a few deer on the property. Just an overall great experience.

Thank you for the wonderful review! Come back again :-)
We had an amazing time in this place, the house is beautiful and super clean, half an hour from blue mountain resort so we were able to go and have fun there. At night we just sat down around the fire pit and enjoy the peaceful night. The house has everything you can ask for. We love it!

Thank you for the wonderful review! Come stay with us again!
My family & I stayed here for a long weekend. The house was beautiful! It was very easy to get to, and there were good places to go hiking/nature walking nearby, which is what we were there for. The area was a little lacking in food options - seems like it was just a bunch of pizza places - but the house was lovely. It was easy getting in touch with the property manager, too. Would definitely recommend this home!

About the host
Hosted by Ash
Hi, I'm Ash. Our Pocono Mountains chalet is family-owned, and we've put a lot of care into designing it for families, groups, and pet-friendly travelers looking for a real getaway.
I respond to messages quickly and are always available during your stay. Whether you're planning a family reunion, a couples retreat, or a weekend away with friends, we'd love to host you.
Why they chose this property
The Poconos has been one of our favorite weekend escapes for years — close enough to the city to be easy, but quiet enough to actually unplug. When we found this spot in Towamensing Trails, it had everything we'd been looking for: tall pines, a real sense of seclusion, and a tight-knit community with lake and pool access just minutes away. It felt like the kind of place we'd keep coming back to — so we made it ours, and now we share it with guests who want the same kind of escape.
What makes this property unique
It's the combination that makes it special. Most Poconos chalets have one standout amenity — a hot tub, maybe a fireplace. Ours has a hot tub, a real cedar barrel sauna, and a separate heated game room with a foosball table, arcade machine, and TV. Add a propane fire table on the deck, EV charging, and a pet-friendly policy, and you have a place that genuinely works for everyone in the group — from kids to grandparents to the dog.
