Thanks, Joshua! We're glad you enjoyed the cozy house, the pool, and those beautiful nearby trails and waterfalls. Sounds like a refreshing getaway—hope to host you again soon!
This was our second time renting Hidden Bear. It was clean, cozy, and our pups enjoyed the fenced backyard. The neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful and we loved seeing the deer and rabbits as they grazed by the yard. We will be back!

Loved the layout of the home. Didn’t spend much time there as we were out and about around the area. Loved seeing deer throughout the community and from the front door of the home.

Overall, we really enjoyed this house. We had an issue with one of the bedrooms upon check in and reported it quickly. There seemed to be some miscommunication so it took some follow up to get resolved, but once the lines of communication were properly opened, they handled everything perfectly.We would stay there again for sure.

This house met all of our expectations! It was clean, well appointed, and comfortable. The beds were just right and we slept so well! Our fur babies enjoyed exploring the lovely backyard. Visits from six young deer were a daily highlight. We will definitely stay here again!

Thank you for sharing your feedback, Darlene. We’re glad to hear that the inside of the home was clean and well stocked. We sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered with the sewage and the yard cleanup. We understand how unpleasant and concerning this must have been, especially with your dogs, and we regret that it impacted your stay. Your feedback has been shared with our team for review and action where necessary. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again under better circumstances.
We had such a wonderful time in the home with the spacious kitchen, comfy living room, cute loft with a game table, and ample TVs. We also took daily walks and enjoyed the community amenities with the playground and sandy beach. We even took the 2 mile walk to the playground one day and had an amazing time in the neighborhood. Our daily trips to different tourist locations were fabulous as well, but it was so great to come back to our home-base for the week.

Thanks, Becki! It’s wonderful to hear you had such a great time, from enjoying the spacious kitchen and comfy living room to the fun community amenities and walks. Sounds like the perfect balance of exploring and relaxing at the house. I’m glad it made for a great home base for your trip!
Perfectly described location. It was central to all of our family’s activities and was a great starting point. Property was clean and surprisingly spacious. Having a fenced in yard was a godsend because we had our dogs with us. Will ABSOLUTELY look to book this location again on our next trip to the Poconos.
Perfect getaway close to Jim Thorpe and the Lehigh Gorge bike trail. The house itself was cozy, clean, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Great communication and directions from oweners. It’s a peaceful, comfortable retreat that’s close to adventure and nature. Highly recommend for a weekend escape!

The house was exactly as pictured and described. We stayed two families with two 6 year olds and it was a perfect size for us. Very close to Big Boulder and about 25 minutes drive to Jack Frost. We would book again.

Thank you for the kind feedback, Igor! We're glad to hear the house was a perfect fit for your family. The location is indeed great for easy access to the slopes, and we're glad to know it worked out so well for your stay. We'd love to welcome you back anytime!
The property was well maintained and spotless. It was extremely comfortable and quiet. There were a lot of little touches that made the stay that much more pleasant, such as dog blankets for our pups. The fireplace was used every night. Trails everywhere for us to take our pups for long walks. Just delightful in every way!

Thank you for your wonderful review, Rose! We're glad to hear that you and your pups had such a delightful stay. It’s great that the little touches, like the dog blankets, made a difference and that you enjoyed the fireplace and nearby trails. We’d love to welcome you back for another peaceful and relaxing getaway!
I wanted a short vacation but didn’t want to travel and make a big deal of it. So I rented this lovely house in the Poconos just two hours from home. I invited my four grandchildren for the weekend and spent the rest of the week, snuggled in front of the fireplace with a couple of good books.Super quite neighborhood.

Thank you, Annie! It sounds like you had a perfect getaway, balancing family time with a peaceful retreat. We're glad the home and its surroundings provided the cozy and quiet escape you were looking for. We’d love to host you again whenever you need another relaxing break!
We enjoyed the pet friendly nature of this rental. We would caution people with young infants that the upstairs railing and guards are wide spaces and we had to watch closely with our 1.5 year old. Otherwise, it was nice. Especially enjoyed the bonus pancakes and syrup left by the owners.
Very nice, clean, great fenced in yard for dogs, and close to Jim Thorpe for our planned activities. Would have liked more detailed instructions about how to unlock door as I had never encountered that lock before, and it was frustrating because there was no ✔️ to enter after entering numbers and so got locked after too many unsuccessful attempts.
