Would recommend to everyone to stay at house. Alex answered correspondence immediately. Can't say enough about him and property.
Incredible weather in unbelievable surroundings
A cozy old New Englandish camp. Great for family bonding but plenty of personal space and excellent access to Skytop.
We had a great long weekend at this property. It was great to have so many amenities and activities within walking distance and the house offered plenty of space for us to both gather together and enjoy privacy. As mentioned in the property description, the house is antique and the floorplan is awkward as is often the case with older homes. Overall the interior was a bit tired, including the lighting and furniture. The kitchen equipment was also quite limited — for example, there was no frying pan. For our group we had a great weekend and feel that the weaknesses of this property are more than outweighed by the strengths, although if we return we will probably bring more of our own kitchen stuff.
The layout of the house was very accommodating for my whole family. Every bedroom was cozy and tastefully decorated. Plus, the lodge was only a stone's throw away from the house. Skytop offers many activities for all generations which kept everyone busy!
We had a wonderful family reunion, and this seven-bedroom house we chose worked perfectly. Plenty of space for 14 of us. Huge bedrooms with comfortable beds. Proximity to the Lodge with all the activities and dining was a huge plus. Many of us spent mornings sipping coffee and tea in the large screened porch right off the living room while enjoying the scenery and mountains' early breeze. There were plenty of activities at the resort for all our family generations. Golfing, fishing, and skeet shooting were big hits for most of us! We had most of our dinners at the Lodge, and the service and food were great. We surely will be coming again! Thank you for sharing your house with us.
Great location on the 5th fairway with only a .short walk to the main lodge....super convenient. The property was complete but rather dark and somewhat tired. Plenty of bedrooms and baths. to support a large family. Overall good week.
We needed housing for 6-8 adults in a flexible space near the lodge. We were quite happy with the pricing and location of the home, which backs up to the golf course. In terms of condition, the place is sparkling clean, albeit with fairly old furnishings and fixtures. Some well-considered upgrades to furnishings and fixtures would have been a benefit. Enjoy!
We had a good 5 night stay at Alex's property. He was very friendly and helpful in answering calls and texts when we had questions about how to use things at the house. The house is very well situated to Skytop Lodge, with all its amenities, events and adventures. We had wrist bands to allow us to utilize all of that. Some things cost extra. Just check their website before you go, to find out. We ate at the Pub(good service/so so food), and the Lakeview(shout out for the great service by Kata/good food!). We had everything we needed to make meals at the house, and we did often. Stop at the Shoprite in Mt. Poconos, as it had everything-even a beautiful birthday cake for my 80 year old Mother In Law. She and her older husband had no issues with using anything at the house and at Skytop. We used the outdoor grill once and it worked out well. Everyone slept well, and we played cards every night at the dining room table. There was room for 12 of us to sit comfortably. This is a rustic house that is good for a large extended family with bathrooms enough to make everyone happy. If you are super fussy, and used to high end hotels or rentals, or fashionable decor, this is not the place for you. If you want a really good deal on a vintage place to stay at Skytop, this is it. Read the other reviews, like I did, and make your decision based on them, as well as what you see in the photos. There is a very large, beautiful, well tended, wild flower garden a stones throw from the house that you can walk in, a wonderful hike to a gorgeous waterfall just down the road and over the small highway(there were even blueberries growing on the sides of the path to pick and eat, and wild deer and their fawns were about, helping make it a magical stay. Everyone was happy with their stay. Thank you Alex! Now get that binder made! (-;
Very ideal house if you & a large group of others need a place to stay for an event at Skytop Lodge…literally 3 minutes walking from the Lodge, can’t beat it. Large house with plenty of bedrooms, slept 14 adults (6 were couples) with no issues. AC wasn’t working in one room but they had a fan so we managed no problem. I wouldn’t call this a complaint, but we wouldn’t have minded if the house was cleaned up a bit more before check-in. Completely understand it’s a much older house that’s deep in the woods, but a quick wipe down in certain areas could’ve gone a long way. Would highly recommend for large groups looking for a convenient spot in the area.
It was a perfect property right next to the wedding venue! It has a lot of beds and bedrooms and easily accommodated our large group.
We could not have asked for a better location. We rented cottage 44 and 45 for 19 people and they were so convenient to the lodge. We went during an off time and were able to use everything Skytop had to offer. They had everything we needed for this family reunion. We went hiking, kayaking, golfing, swimming, roasted marshmallows and had smores, and fishing. One night we ate at the Lakeside (preordered dinner) and another night at Basso's Italian down the road. We also had lunch at the Pourhouse Pub down the road. We ordered food from instacart for breakfast, lunch and snacks. Make sure you have the correct address for instacart if you do this. I would highly recommend this home for a large group and definitely for Convenience Sake.
Good size Skytop classic. Perfect for family reunion and easy access to Skytop lodges restaurants and bars.
