Thankful

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.

Birthday Getaway

I reserved this amazing property to celebrate my birthday with friends, and we had an incredible time, enjoying every moment of it. I must emphasize how fantastic the communication with the host was. He responded promptly and professionally, always ready to assist with anything we needed. If you're considering booking a cabin, I highly recommend this one!

Fun Holiday Weekend

The Forest Chalet was wonderful! We were there to celebrate the holidays with two families including four children 12, 9, 7, 4. The kids loved the basement game room and massive tv. The house had everything we needed and then some, it was one of the most well appointed houses we have rented. This may be a new tradition in the making at the Forest Chalet. Andy was also very quick to reply and helpful. Thanks for helping in making our weekend great!

Great location. Between the lake, pool, games, and hot tub there was lots to do with the family. The house was clean and comfortable. Only comment for improvement would be extra trashbags and TP for guests staying for a week.

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 get away

We booked Forest Chalet for my daughter’s 22nd Birthday. There were 10 of us and our dog ( myself, my husband and 8 22 year olds) The house was perfect! More than enough room. The girls loved the lower level with all the games. They even popped popcorn. We were 25 minutes from blue mountain, which that’s where they went tubing. Communication was great with Michele. It was a perfect weekend. This house had everything you needed from stocked toilet paper, spices ,, even marshmallows for the fire pit.My daughter and her friends had a great weekend and thank you again Michele & Andy for being a fantastic host

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!

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!
