Beautiful Family Get-away

Black Diamond Retreat was a wonderful place for a family gathering. Both indoor and outdoor areas were spacious and gave everyone room to spread out and wander. We enjoyed sitting around the fire pit every evening and playing corn hole and bocci outside as well. Even though it seemed we were away in the middle of nowhere and very quiet, town was only a short drive away. Some of us did take and enjoy the Yuengling Brewery tour. Landon answered our questions along the way promptly as well. We all agreed we would definitely recommend this retreat for a fun large group gathering!

Superbowl weekend

Over all the house is quite lovely, the location is excellent and the management company is very easy to get a hold of and are very helpful unfortunately the hot water heater was not working when we arrived. The management company sent a handyman very qyickly who could not have been nicer. He was able to bipass the broken water heater and use the second one in the house. Even with this remedy it was still a problem since the basement of the house has radient floor heating which could not be used. So that was quite cold and made sleeping difficult. Asside from this problem everything else went great and we had a wonderful stay.

Great place

We spent our Christmas vacation here. Wonderful big house. Everything was great. Host replied in a timely manner. Thank you for sharing your home with us. Only problem with the house that WiFi wasn’t working any of the days we were there i believe the router was broken. But other than anything we had a great time. Thank you

Perfect house for holiday get together

We rented this house for a reunion of college friends and their families. House was able to fit more than 6 families comfortably. We stayed for 3 nights and the house was clean and very well stocked with all the basic necessities which in my experience is not always the case. Landon the host was absolutely great with communication in responding to all of my questions and in a very timely manner. The house had a very nice kitchen stocked with all that we needed to prepare all our meals. Bonus kitchen downstairs allowed us to easily cook meals for a party of 25 without having to stretch cooking times. We lucked out with a very warm weekend so we were able to spend time outside on the patio and deck which was very nicely set up with BBQ grill and fire pit. It was a nice space for kids to run around. We also learned the house was only 15 minutes away from the Yuengling Brewery which was an awesome convenience we took advantage of for a quick day trip to tour their brewery. I highly recommend it, not to mention free samples. We had an absolutely amazing time and would definitely look to come back if we ever have another chance to get together. Thanks again Landon for everything

Hi there, my name is Landon!

Currently, I am helping homeowners from across the country manage their vacation rentals and welcome guests into their 2nd homes through BNB Breeze. We are a hands-on short term rental management company that specializes in handling vacation listings and the logistical work that goes into managing these properties. Showcasing these properties to look their best and bring in higher returns for investors is just a small part of what we do.

I'm excited to say that the company has grown to include many team members! Heather, AJ, Barb, and Elizabeth are all working full-time to help BNB Breeze maintain all of the beautiful properties that we manage. Additional part-time team members help round out our entire business. Working with with these folks is part of what makes this job so fun :)

I look forward to serving you and making your vacation experience one you'll love and remember for years to come!
