About the host
Hosted by Kasey
Hi! I’m Kasey, a hospitality professional with 20 years of experience creating spaces for people to feel at home. Forest Hill Hideaway was designed to be exactly that: an easy escape in the mountains whether you are here to relax, explore, or just get away for a few days. I’m always happy to help with local recommendations or anything you need to make your stay enjoyable.
Why they chose this property
One of the things I love most about this area is the balance of everything. You get the peaceful mountain escape without feeling stuck in the middle of nowhere surviving on gas station snacks and boredom. Inside the community, you can enjoy tennis courts, trails, and beach access to Lake Shangri-La while still being minutes away from Pocono Raceway, hiking, bars, restaurants, shopping, paintball, waterparks, and some really great local spots worth checking out. Jim Thorpe is nearby, the mountains are basically your backyard, and there’s always something to do whether you came here to relax for the weekend or accidentally turn it into a whole adventure.
And because I’m such a fan of the local spots around here, the house is stocked with a handbook of my favorite restaurants, bars, activities, and hidden gems so you can experience the area like a local instead of wasting half your trip scrolling reviews trying to figure out where to go.
