What a perfect place for rest and relaxation. The schoolhouse had everything we needed for our quiet unplugged getaway. The house is beautifully decorated and oh so cozy. It really felt like home! The kitchen has everything you need to cook your own meals as we choose to do. Many food/kitchen items had been left from previous vacationers. The fireplace made the living room cozy and warm and the couch with chase was super comfy. Our bedroom was perfect and the bed a dream to sleep on. We enjoyed walking the grounds, visiting our furry friends across the street, reading all the books and learning about the history of the little schoolhouse. This vacation spot works for an isolation getaway, or one that includes hiking, visiting wineries, local breweries, and Pennsylvania shops. We loved our time here and do look forward to returning!
What a great little property. The schoolhouse was clean and well stocked with everything you could need. The perfect place for a quiet weekend away. Will miss the goats and donkeys coming to say hi each afternoon.
If you’re looking to get away from it all, this is a place.
Perfect place for peace and quiet (closest neighbors are deer, goats, and donkeys). 15 minutes from shopping and restaurants, 30 minutes from Jim Thorpe. Didn't have cell coverage, but provided Wifi worked perfectly. The home is nicely furnished, with a full kitchen, a patio for an evening glass of wine and deer watching, or a coffee in the morning with the birds.
This is a beautiful property with great hosts
Great location with respect to Hawk Mountain and Pinnacle Rock trails. We also loved watching all the farm animals across the street. The house was very well stocked and the added basket of goodies was a very nice touch. Bed was reasonably comfortable and we also enjoyed sitting on the patio. Kitchen is small but works well for a couple.
It exceeded our expectation the house is just perfect period,everything you need is there
Great stay again , hosts are the best ! So relaxing ! Sheep goats ducks donkeys great to see again ! Until next time!
We spent Christmas at this cozy little getaway, and it was absolutely perfect. The bed was the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in outside of my own. The view was gorgeous and the fireplace was fantastic. The pantry was stocked, and we were even greeted with homemade bread and treats. 10 out of 10 would recommend.
Need to get away from the stress and hustle of the city and work ….this is your place. A comfortable place to relax and very close to Hawk Mountain. We’ll be back.
The Kinder Hawk schoolhouse was beyond our expectations! Cozy, beautiful and magical! Although it was pouring when we arrived, it was the perfect place to hunker down by the fireplace, relax and read about the history and natural history of the area we were in. Our autumnal surroundings were magical! The hosts kept in touch with us and provided extra welcoming local treats and assistance when we needed it. Our time there was too short! And when it stopped raining, we searched for Pennsylvania German barn hexes and climbed Hawk Mountain! Amazing!
We returned to this lovely place to combine the fall migration at hawk mountain, beautiful surroundings, and rejuvenate as a busy couple. It’s a special place and reasonably priced. All I wanted to do when we got there was open the big beautiful windows and bring in the fresh air and bird/animal sounds (and get rid of mustiness). As before, the windowsills were filled with bugs and though I vacuumed them myself last year, just didn’t want to again. The kitchen had ants (we cleaned out the toaster to rectify). We hoped to enjoy the fire pit on the patio but the tank was empty. We did call about the ants and tank and the property manager replied immediately. Sadly, after a full day on the mountain, we decided not to stay the night and went home early. With a little more attention to cleanliness it would be a perfect destination.
Pictures do not do justice to wonderfully designed, spacious and historic Kinder Hawk Schoolhouse. Neat as a pin, very clean; the check-in/check-out process is quick and easy. We cooked several meals in the kitchen and were delighted with how well it is appointed. The views from both the front porch and the patio are beautiful and peaceful. Spend some time out there relaxing and you'll discover that not all sheep baa the same way (who knew?). The thoughtful gift basket of home baked and delicious goodies was such a treat. The area is just beautiful, and spectacular Hawk Mountain Santuary, just two miles up the road, is not to be missed, especially when the raptors are migrating (fascinating to watch and well worth the hike up to the North Lookout). We're looking forward to coming back to this special haven next year!
There’s a timeless quality to Kinder Hawk located beside rolling hills and picturesque farms on a Road Less Traveled. It’s hard to imagine a more peaceful setting. Deer nibble in the fields at dusk while birds chirp in the stately trees. Breezes blow softly through the valley. If you’re looking for solitude, this is the place.
FANTASTIC.. We have been renting vacation homes for many years . This home was the best. I got to meet the owner since she came right over when I called since I could not get the iPad going or the tv . The welcome basket was everything you needed to have a beautiful breakfast and great welcome snacks . We look forward to one day renting this house again
We absolutely loved our stay and vrbo provided the easiest process to secure this location and our anniversary lodging. We will be back, it was incredibly wonderful
Spent a wonderful long weekend at this charming place. Clean, beautiful, roomy space with so many extras. We were given fresh, homemade bread and cookies and all the supplies for a great breakfast each day. So peaceful and beautiful. Went to Hawk Mountain for a hike and quick drive to Kutztown for great drinks and dining. Just what we were looking for, relaxing, quiet but good food and fun. Highly recommend!!!
There aren't enough superlatives to describe Kinderhawk. It's a wonderful retreat for getting away for a few days to recharge so to speak. A perfect base camp for forays to Hawk Mountain or the Appalachian Trail. So much to do. Tour the incredible Wineries and Breweries of this area or just hang out on the porch and soak in the quiet.
What a place. House lived up to every thing you could want. Property manager called to check that everything was good and made herself available. A 5 star plus house. We will be back
