Pocono Mountains, Whispering Pines Retreat

The house was beautiful and everything we needed was there. We had fun in the basement with all the games, pool table, ping pong table, etc. Only issue was that we didn't realize it was in a neighborhood and houses were so close to each other. Not as isolated as we thought and backyard was small but that's okay. The snowstorms made everything seem farther so we felt limited, but weather can't be controlled. Alot of good restaurants in that area.

Our family really enjoyed spending Christmas here! Everyone enjoyed the many things to do in the gameroom. Host was excellent in responding to all correspondence.

Property was clean and very accommodating. We enjoyed our stay and had plenty to entertain ourselves.Check in is a little too late in the day for convenient plans.Strict trash rules limited when we could leave property unless we took our trash with us in our vehicle. Trash should be the owners responsibility to take to the community dumpsters of the neighborhood.

Everything was great! My only complaint would be the trash situation. It was a bit of the pain, as we had to load it into the car because of the distance to the dumpster. That being said, I would definitely recommend this place to families.

The house was beautiful and the host answered anything I had a question about quickly.

This house was perfect for us - perfect number of bedrooms and bathrooms for all of us and still plenty of room to relax. The home was very clean, welcoming, and cozy. Close to many things but still in a very quiet area. Would absolutely stay here again!

This place was everything we hoped for and then some. The house was immaculate and had everthing you could imagine for hosting guests. We enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hesitate to stay again in the future.

Had such a great time at this property. Everything was amazing. A beautiful cozy home . There was 9 adults here and everyone was so comfortable

The property was very comfortable, well maintained and very clean. We would return.

We genuinely had a wonderful stay. The house was clean & kept up incredibly well. Everything was so comfortable that it truly felt like a home away from home. The house was packed full of activities that kept the whole family entertained (ages 3-17yo). The check-in & pre-check-in communication from the owner was so welcomed. At no moment did I feel uninformed or uneasy as to how the whole process would work, or how I should access the amenities in the community. There was such a wealth of activities near the house, that there was never a worry of being bored (we rode the Lehigh Gorge train, went to Camelbeach waterpark, golfed at 2 different courses, visited the outlets for back-to-school shopping and ate out most nights). This was a such a fantastic vacation and it started with finding the perfect house & dealing with incredibly considerate owners.

Very nice place. Recommended

Overall, it was good. The house is big enough to accommodate those I was traveling with. Clean, neat and well kept. The bathrooms were updated and fresh. The beds however, can use an upgrade in comfort. I loved the kitchen, how stock it was with pots and pans. We also had available coffee, creamer and extras like items to cook with. We came up short on what we were cooking one night so I used one of the pasta boxes/salsa that came really handy. To pay it forward, I went to the store & restock on some items we used. We took our disponible plates and utensils. We didn’t want to keep washing dishes, but surprise they have a dishwasher. They do have enough plates to use. There was also a nice seating area out in the patio. Only bummer we couldn’t have a fire pit for s’mores and story telling. We couldn’t figure out to turn on the fire place but due to time, I didn’t reach out to the owner either. There was enough sheets & blankets. I also loved that every space and closet had a light you can switch on. You can have the house well lit. On the day of check in, I had to reach out to the owner/property manager for instruction. It’d be better next time if those are sent directly to email or message without asking for it. The last comment is on the disposal of the trash, slightly odd compared to other rentals. You have to actually drive out several minutes to dispose it. Since it’s an association, there is a guard/keeper that stops you to see if you’re allowed. He was kind of rude.

Perfect place for a long weekend of fishing. Accurately described, place was clean and well stocked, communication with the hosts was great. Definitely recommend for getaways with family or friends.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful home and it truly exceeded my expectations. The house itself was stunning, with spacious rooms and elegant design that made it feel both luxurious and welcoming. One of the standout features was the game room, which was fully equipped with a pool table, arcade games, and a big-screen TV—perfect for entertainment. The accommodations were also top-notch, with comfortable beds, modern amenities, and everything needed for a relaxing stay. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a memorable getaway.

What a fantastic cabin!!! My family and I stayed there over the weekend and it was awesome!! The cabin is just as beautiful as the pictures show! The first floor had a wonderful flow to it, the kitchen was FULLY stocked so you can leave all your supplies at home! They even had coffee available! Which was a nice little bonus! The fire place gave great ambience and put out a ton of heat, which was nice for the chilly days. The beds were comfortable. The bathrooms were clean and I thoroughly enjoyed the little deck off of my bedroom. Sitting out there with a cup of coffee in the morning was a delight. The game room was outstanding! There is no way someone could be bored down there!! My husband wasn’t too happy that I beat him at all the games hahaha!!! If you live seeing animals, this community doesn’t disappoint! I have never seen that many deer and my 2 year old loved pointing them out to us! We went to dinner and even saw a bear!!! It was a short drive to the cute town of Jim Thorpe. We took a train ride and my little guy loved it! The town itself had many shops but if you don’t like crowds- steer clear because it had a ton of tourists. We didn’t mind and everyone was friendly! We checked out a few places in the neighboring towns and found fun things to do! We would love to come back in the summer and enjoy the beautiful lake! The hosts were easy to be in contact with even though we faced zero issues! 10/10 would return!!

We stayed in this wonderful getaway for three days. It is the perfect stay for both children and adults! The ambiance was really great Pennsylvania cabin cozy and perfectly geared for family vacations. The game room downstairs is amazing, the community amenities really great and the homes was clean and fresh and full of interesting decor and fun little accents. Our host answered every question we had quickly and directly. We had a great time and plan on staying here again!
