We really enjoyed this house and our time in Albrightsville. Lots to see and do, plus a very nice place to relax in. Host is an excellent communicator.
This was our first family trip to the poconos. We stayed at the Eliot chalet, it was small and homey. it fit our family of 7 perfectly. The kids had a great time playing on the property and we visited a few of the community amenities. I would reccommend this for a big family. We even brought our dogs!
We enjoyed our stay in this quiet private community surrounded by deer and friendly neighbors. Pet friendly and only 20 minutes to Jim Thorpe which was a unique town with plenty to do, from shopping to whitewater rafting. We will definitely be back
overall our stay was pleasant . The chalet was open and airy . A few little things needed fixing but nothing that spoiled the stay. It was a perfect size for my husband and I , and our toy dog but a family could also easily be comfortable. There’s much to do in the community and lots of good restaurants in the surrounding areas.
My husband and i were a little surprised the chalet wasn’t in a more wooded area and that the neighbours were very close.. They were, however, very friendly. The area is very quiet and deer are very friendly and will eat out of your hand
The host Mike was very responsive to all messages both before, during and after our stay.
Would recommend, especially if you live in an urban area and require peace and quiet

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
Cleanliness and Accuracy of Description Are Lacking
We learned in an email sent less than 24 hours prior to check in, "cleaners" only are contracted to sanitize bathrooms. Hardly "immaculate" as the listing leads with, the house is dusty, dirty, food items left on stove and on plates in cabinets and other people's belongings left in/on beds. No linens, kitchen towels, TP, dish detergent, etc. are on-site, which should be made blatantly obvious in the property description but we missed it in the listing until the email sent at 6:15pm prior to our arrival. Location is good! This house is best for a quick stay when most time will be spent at the slopes or outdoors. Details and photos (since they cannot be posted here) were shared with host directly via email in efforts to allow them to correct things for future renters.
If you’re looking for a simple relaxing retreat in nature then this is a good spot. House was very nice. The beach lake was a great spot and pool area was okay. Great hiking in the area and scenery is just beautiful. I loved it and my kids loved it. Only downside is community doesn’t allow campfires but other than that great stay.
Check in was fine & kitchen was clean.No air conditioning throughout the house we were there in July and it never cooled down at night. Only complaint about the property was the mattresses were uncomfortable and well worn.
Very cozy house in the quiet neighborhood close to everything (skiing, hiking, good restaurants, shopping etc) My family loves this area for sure will be back
We enjoyed our stay! There was plenty of room and it was clean and quiet. Beach was fun and lots of places to hike! Hosts were great with communication and listing was accurate! I would stay there again!

Peaceful Getaway From City Life
Perfect weekend away! Thank you for hosting a last minute booking.
Provided for a nice short stay to be with family. Area was very nice and we all enjoyed the wild life. Jim Thorpe is definitely worth the trip but get there early as traffic and parking become a nightmare.
Very nice location and property. Mike was easy to get in touch with and had everything nicely set up for us. Very enjoyable stay! Community is wonderful. The kids really has a great time swimming, hiking, and paddle boating. Would return!
