    We had a wonderful stay at the Boarding Bear Chalet. The house was beautiful and all the appliances worked wonderfully. We cooked multiple meals using the outdoor grill and the entirety of the kitchen appliances. The location is 5 star…the house is situated with lovely views of the surrounding landscape. Easy access to the 903 made travel to our various activities very simple. The few questions we had were quickly answered by Jen and the info provided for check in and check out was very clear (including how to handle the trash). We would love to stay here again when visiting the Poconos.

    We had a wonderful stay! Check in was super easy and Jen was great to communicate with. The house and is beautiful and was very clean. The kitchen was very well stocked and I was easily able to cook for the family. And the property was private and so peaceful, but we were still close to things to do. I would definitely recommend this property and host!

    Beautiful nicely appointed house and property, very private and nestled in the woods.15 minute drive to Jim Thorpe proper, 25 minute drive to Hickory Run State Park, 35 minute drive to Lehigh Gorge state park. We have stayed at many vacation rentals and the Boarding Bear Chalet is up there with the best of them. Our family of 4 really enjoyed our stay. Great hosts!

    Spent a long weekend at this great property to catch up with a few friends from high school, play golf at some of the awesome courses the Poconos has to offer, and have a relaxing home to BBQ and have campfires. This property checks all the boxes and we had a blast. Jennifer is very easy to communicate with and responsive and we look forward to future stays at her home!

    The communication with the owner exceeded expectations. The house in a really nice location. The driveway was a bit steeper than I imagined but once the snow was gone it was no problem for three different types of vehicles we had. The house was as described - photos reflected exactly. Also the front steps had ice/snow melters installed which I thought was fantastic.

    The property was absolutely perfect! We had a few last minute days off and decided to get away from the city. The house is located in a community, but you would never know it, definitely a secluded feel. We had perfect weather and spent most of our nights relaxing on the deck and watching the wildlife and listening to leaves fall from the trees. Plus, the Chalet was in the perfect location for all the places we wanted to visit! We visited Jim Thorpe the second night there and enjoyed a beautiful scenic train ride and after we had an AMAZING lunch at Ouros. Our third day there we hiked some trails at Hickory Run state park and visited Boulder field. Definitely will be back!
