About the host
Hosted by Minhaus
Hi, I'm Cathy! Minhaus is a family labor of love — from the name to every carefully chosen detail inside. We're based in the Poconos area and created this space because we believe everyone deserves a getaway that feels like a true home away from home. We're hands-on hosts who take cleanliness, comfort, and communication seriously — you'll always have a real person just a message away. Whether you're gathering the family for a mountain weekend or celebrating something special with friends, we genuinely love knowing our little house played a part in it. We can't wait to host you!
Why they chose this property
My love for the Poconos started with one of those trips you never forget — piling into the mountains with close friends, kids in tow, and no real agenda except to just be together. We hiked, splashed around in the pool, soaked up the nature, and came home with the kind of memories that stick. That trip planted a seed, and Minhaus grew out of it. The Poconos has something for every season — and that's what keeps drawing people back. I hope this little corner of the mountains becomes that kind of place for your family too: somewhere you return to, somewhere the kids talk about, somewhere that feels a little like yours.
What makes this property unique
Minhaus was designed with families in mind from the very start. Every detail — the layout, the amenities, the little extras — was chosen with the question: what does a family actually need to have a great time here? The private pool is the heart of it in the warmer months, but the fun doesn't stop when the sun goes down. We've stocked the house with games to keep everyone entertained well into the evening. And on those rainy Pocono days? Pop in a DVD and settle in for a proper movie night — we still have a DVD player and a real collection, which is harder to find than you'd think these days. It's the kind of place where kids are happy, parents can actually relax, and everyone leaves already talking about coming back.
