All's right in Albrightsville
Enjoyed a wonderful long weekend with my wife and dog at this cozy chalet in the Poconos. So close to everything - Jim Thorpe, Big Boulder, Lake Harmony and Mount Airy Casino we have so many reasons to go back. Because it's been so dry this fall the leaves weren't that vibrant but having so many other things to do and places to eat made us forget the leaf peeping. Our dog loved hanging out on the porch and staring back at the deer who were constant companions in the back yard area. Saw some turkeys as well so it was great to get back to nature! House is very cozy and has everything you'll need. Lots of vintage books and games. Christine is a wonderful, hands-on owner and answered all of our questions ahead of time as well as providing great recommendations for local restaurants and stores. A great place to stay and we hope to return soon.

Absolutely The Best!
Wanda's Dream is worth 500 stars! It is such a gorgeous, lovely home, which is spacious with all the comforts, and is decorated beautifully in such a cozy manner. And its location is incredible. We loved staying here and this will be our go to place whenever we get a few days time off, because I cannot think of a better place to relax and vacation at. Christine is such a wonderful host and such a lovely lady, with excellent taste - and she has the most beautiful house in the most gorgeous place. I didn't want to leave! We will keep going to this beautiful home again and again!

Great spot for a Pocono getaway. It’s close to the community beach/lake/pool, not too far from some local wineries and the cool little town of Jim Thorpe. The house was clean and comfy, and the owner Christine was very nice and easy to work with. Five stars.

Clean, spacious, and comfortable!
Christine obviously cares about this place and makes sure everyone is happy. My family and I are happy she keeps a clean place and she went above and beyond to communicate every detail so there were no miscommunications. She was helpful and flexible with our somewhat unique situation. The kitchen had plenty of dishes, mugs, and cookware. The bathrooms had more than enough linens for all of us. The premium TV service was amazing. Honestly, no complaints! If we visit the Poconos again, I'll be sure to see if this place is available before looking at other rentals!

Awesome house!
Overall a great week! From the moment we stepped into the house, we felt at home. It was very comfortable (and spotless!). The back deck with the gate was great for our dog - she could hang out back there and we didn't have to worry about her. For those bringing dogs, there is a great dog part about 20 minutes away - West End dog park - if your dog needs to run and get some energy out. The house is very close to HIckory Run State Park, which is beautiful. The host, Christine, is wonderful!

Great place, could use touchups
Great place in the poconos. Highly recommended for a getaway. There were many places with drywall damage that was filled, but still noticeable. Outside of the home was dirty and needed to be cleaned. The hammock in the photo isn’t there. Jets in tub were broken. All cosmetic things that can be easily address. It was an otherwise fantastic experience. Christine, the host, was very communicative!

We were very pleased with the cleanliness and condition of the home. The home was very comfortable. Deer would come right up to the deck every morning and evening. One morning 2 fawns were sleeping in the back yard. We would like to stay there next year again, as there is so much to do in the area.
