The Forest Chalet was the perfect spot for our three generation Thanksgiving Weekend. The three levels, two inside gathering areas and bedroom set up was perfect for our crew. Our dog felt right at home with provided bowls.

Great Family stay
Spent the weekend here with our 3 kids 9,6,2, and our in laws. The kids loved the lower level that featured arcade games, a HUGE TV for movie nights and their favorite shows. The lower level also could access outside where we spent most of our time playing games and in the hot tub. The home was very well kept and even had a starter stock of paper towels,tp,coffee and more. Hawk Falls was a 5 minute drive and a pizza shop and dollar general were 3 minutes away. Very convenient location and the owners were great communicating what to expect!

Perfect in the Poconos
This house was wonderful for our stay. My wife and I, along with our 2 daughters, their husbands and our three grandchildren (ages 16, 10, and 6) stayed for 9 days in late July and early August of 2024. The hosts, Michele and Andy, were wonderful and very attentive to our questions. They were so easy to work with and helpful in so many ways. The house fit our needs perfectly.!! It is exactly as described and is well appointed. The community has a clubhouse with a large pool, a very nice beach and a lake where you can rent kayaks or paddle boats. It is close to Lehighton and Jim Thorpe with access to river rafting and biking along the Lehigh river. We had a great time on our family vacation, and would highly recommend this home.

Family Week in the Forest Chalet
Great family week in the Poconos. This property delivered everything that we needed to enjoy a week of family fun. Easy access to beach, pool, craft breweries, and of course the beautiful city of Jim Thorpe. Andy was easy to work with and there were no surprises. Three families shared the vacation home, and each family had a whole floor to themselves. The outside of this property is a beautiful as the inside. Thanks Andy!

Jim Thorpe Running Festival
Stayed at the property while participating in the Jim Thorpe Running festival (April 28). Originally rented from the previous owners, but new owners Michele and Andy helped with the transition after they took over ownership of the property. They honored our agreement and made the switch seamless! Appreciated all their help. We really enjoyed the stay. Made good use of the porch with the grill and had lots of fun with the Golden Tee game in the basement. Also a nice (really!) big screen TV in the basement. Place was very clean, nice kitchen with everything we needed. Also sounds like the new owners are planning for even more fun amenities going forward (ex: fire pit). Would definitely recommend and will look into renting again if I participate in the Jim Thorpe Running Festival in the future.

The Grand Chalet
This is the second year our family has stayed at this spacious home. We love the bedrooms being spread out in each floor, it gives everyone their own space. The game room really wins over the kids for sure! The small hill in the back yard is great for sledding and the hot tub is perfect for when the kids go to bed! The owner is very attentive and we will definitely be returning for a third year next winter!

Summer Vacation in the Poconos
We selected this location as it was centrally located between us and our children and grandchildren. It had a nice lake with a clean wide beach. There was a playground and pool near the beach. Perfect for the little ones, The house was clean and spacious. The house had everything we needed. We enjoyed the large deck in the evenings. The hot tub was a nice bonus. We did have to drive to the lake and pool area, which was approximately 1.75 miles from the house. The neighborhood was very quiet. It was a great week with family. Melissa and Gary Hiller

This is beautiful property and house! We had a much needed relaxing getaway for our family. Everything was high quality and we didn’t have any questions because the check in, as well as information left at the property, answered every single possible question. Lovely neighborhood too!

60th birthday trip
Overall this property and location was great! The game/bar area downstairs was definitely a fun addition. Everything was just as the listing looked and the property owner was very easy to get in touch with. However, I expected there to be at least extra garbage bags for the house and some simple cleaning spray like Lysol and there wasn’t which was a little frustrating. Aside from that, I would definitely recommend this house for your getaway. Thanks!

We had six high school friends stay here for a weekend.... Friday we had a beautiful snowfall, and waking up to a winter wonderland we took a great walk around the neighborhood. The only thing I wish we were able to have was a fire pit outside, but other than that, the property is wonderful and we would absolutely recommend to both adults and families with kids.

The house provided a space for our party to have some bonding and fun experiences. The house was close to JFBB for a day of snowboarding and then provided some relaxation in the form of the hot tub. The game room was a big hit as it kept the fun moving along.
