Great getaway

We loved our stay at BearHouse. You can tell the owners care about comfort of their guests. The cabin was clean and inviting. The foosball table and Arcade table were so fun. The hot tub was fantastic. We highly recommend for any trip to the Poconos - great location and very responsive owners.

Perfect getaway

Just what we needed. Perfectly situated, we were a stones throw from all sorts of family adventures and did it all; hiked, biked, paddled, fished, ate, explored and kicked back. Would return again for sure.

Anniversary

My wife and I chose this location to celebrate our 10 year anniversary and we had an amazing time. The hot tub was relaxing and we enjoyed the numerous amount of games that were offered. The hosts are great at communicating and provided many recommendations that we hope to try out on a future visit. The area is very quiet and it was fun watching the deer walkthrough the backyard. I would recommend staying here if you’re looking for a peaceful getaway.

The bear house

The bear house was the perfect getaway for our family. The boys got to sled outback while my husband and I sat out there in the hot tub. The house was clean and cozy. The hosts were very easy to get a hold of and responded quickly with any questions I had. Great location as well. Close to food and other things to do.

Wonderful stay

Great location, and a beautiful stay. Amazing hiking trails within 10 minutes, and several great restaurants near Lake Harmony. Very impressed with the care put in by the hosts to make sure our stay was pleasant as well as recommending places and checking in sporadically. Overall a wonderful stay! Would very much recommend. My wife and I only stayed for a few days after a extending a 10 day trip to check out the leaves changing on our way home, but definitely will be bringing the family back to stay longer when visiting Big Boulder this year.

Long Weekend Getaway

Loved our stay and would highly recommend! You can’t control the weather and for 1/2 our stay we had pouring down rain with remnants of Hurricane Debby. We were so thankful we chose this place as we all had fun playing foosball and video games. We also thoroughly enjoyed all the deer in the neighborhood. When the sun came out we enjoyed the beach access to the lake and the other amenities close by. Host and property manager extremely responsive and helpful! Thank you for a great stay!

Perfect location-great for relaxing

My husband and I along with our four legged son came to the area to see the changing colors of the leaves. We loved the location. A few minutes from the highway, couple of miles from Jim Thorpe and close to restaurants and shopping. The house is in the woods. We saw deer and turkey from the front and back of the house. It was quiet too. The house is warm and cozy. We cooked dinners and we had all we needed to do our cooking. I would recommend staying and we will visit again. Thank you for sharing your home and allowing our four legged son. He enjoyed all the smells outside.

Quick stay at Bear House

We had a quick visit to area- never been to this part of the Poconos before. The location of the Bear House is great, right in the middle of activities and dining spots. The house is cute, a mix of updates and retro bear cabin theme. Comfortable beds and furniture in the living room. Nice big screen TV and games to hang out at night. We came for a quick rafting trip and this was just right for the price. We didn't really use the hot tub or beach because it rained but having those amenities is a big reason why we picked the property. I'd consider changing the name though - we never saw bear, but were surrounded by deer every morning. My son even scratched one behind the ear.

Fun Family Weekend Getaway

Property was as described in listing. Hosts were informative. We were pleasantly surprised by supplies left for our use, example dish detergent, paper towels, laundry detergent, soaps, linens and towels. Adults and teenagers enjoyed the arcade games and foosball table in the house. Also the hot tub was clean. We went to the community lake and rented a kayak and hung out on the beach. The community lake also has a pool and snack bar. We would rent the Bear House again on a future trip. Thank you!

Great getaway in the Poconos

Location is great, it is easy to access lots of local activities, attraction, and restaurants. The community itself has a big lake, and a nice swimming pool. Property is clean and spacious enough for eight of us (two families) and a dog. The foosball table and the arcade machine offers kids with some extra activities during their down time. And the outdoor jacuzzi is big and very relaxing. The only thing that's a bit lacking is a dryer machine -- we had to hang dry the clothes after washing as the washer/dryer combo took forever to dry clothes. Hosts provided detailed, timely instruction throughout the booking process and during our stay. They offered plenty of household essentials (trash bags, dishwasher pods, utensils, cooking essentials) to make our stay more convenient. Definitely recommend!

Perfect for our short family getaway

We were looking for somewhere quiet we could spend a few days unplugging with our 9 and 12 yo girls. This was a perfect getaway that offered a quiet neighborhood that felt private, but also gave access to the community facilities and good hikes within a short drive. As soon as we arrived I knew we had the right place, watching my girls' faces light up as the lay on the top bunk and watched 2 fawns nursing from their mom in the tree line less than 50ft from the window. The simple things like having a foozball table kept us off devices and doing things as a family while we were relaxing in the house, yet on that one rainy afternoon, being able to log into our streaming services to watch a movie together on the large screen was a bonus. Interior was exactly as pictured and was clean, welcoming and functional. We would return. Thank you!

Wonderful location

The Bear House had some wonderful amenities. Having a washing machine for our suits and towels was so great! Bring some detergent. We were a bit surprised that the soap dispensers were only filled with water, but the local market had all the supplies we needed. The house could use a refresh, maybe a paint job, and the mildew smell is a bit overwhelming. but that's the mountains for you. The listing stated there was an outdoor propane firepit but it didn't appear to be available for our stay. We saw there was a regular firepit but the rules stated no open flames allowed, so that was confusing. We ended up just forgoing any fires for our s'mores. The indoor propane fireplace does not work, even though we put new batteries in the remote, another disappointment. There was a bunch of trash in the yard, so we only hung outside to use the hot tub. The hot tub is the best amenity of this property, the tent over it was the best part. Tons of deer to wake up to, lovely trees for lots of cool shade. Getting rid of the garbage was a pretty easy process, just don't forget to bring your community hang tag or they'll turn you away, sternly. The community pool and lake were amazing, just definitely not close to the house. (Paddleboat rental is $20 per hour, don't forget your ID.) I enjoyed being able to vacuum and sweep, and not have to just live with dirty floors like you would in a hotel.Close to Jim Thorpe & Lake Harmony. Macaluso's restaurant is a new fave!

Property was clean and spacious, except for the bathrooms being a bit small. The hot tub was equally clean and well maintained. We enjoyed looking out back at the deer, including an 8-point buck. Two minor things that would have been nice are a clock in the living room and brighter lighting for us visually challenged old folks, lol. We would stay here again and recommend it 100%.
