Weekend Away

My husband and I stayed at this beautiful property for a quick weekend away. The location is quiet and about 20 minutes from Jim Thorpe. The house was very clean and had everything that we needed for a weekend away. Michael checked in with us a few times to make sure we had everything we needed and was very accessible for any questions we had. We really enjoyed our time and would stay here again!

Great family getaway in the Poconos

This property was well-renovated, modern, and very comfortable for our entire family. We particularly loved the game/movie room and made good use of the ping pong table! Access to the excellent community amenities was also easy and appreciated. Would definitely stay here again.

Great place for family getaway in the Poconos

We had a great time during our stay here. Well decorated, new, and spacious. Open space design and the game room was great. Close to all main attractions in the Poconos, so highly recommended.

We’ll be back!

The house, location, and property manager were all great. The house was recently renovated and very clean. Michael the host communicated almost daily in the week leading up to our stay. He was super friendly and intent on making sure we enjoyed ourselves. We really liked the proximity to the lake- caught our first trout! We’re planning to come back to Albrightsville next summer and hope to stay here again. We’d highly recommend it!

Great place to stay!

Great place to stay if you are vacationing in the Poconos! The garage was cleverly converted into a gaming room/home theatre which allowed us to have things to do on rainy days. The host, Michael, is extremely responsive and gracious! He left snacks and gifts for us, as well as a list of things for us to do in the area. The living room was extremely spacious with huge windows which allowed the natural light to brighten up the place. There were also lots of deer in the area! One of my favorite things to do was to wake up really early and have coffee on the private deck.
