“Not bad...not great”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

The room prices are quite reasonable, compared to other Pocono resorts, but there's a reason for that. While the room was neat & clean, the grounds are rundown, and one gets the feeling that the surrounding woods are slowly reclaiming the hotel property. There's a little mini-golf course that's gone back to nature, and a playground set that hasn't felt the touch of a child's hand for years. There are the remnants of a fenced in enclosure where deer used to be kept - there's a still a mailbox with the name "Rudolph" on it!

When we stay, which is always around Valentine's Day, the restaurant, bar, and pool are all closed. Not too many other visitors there gives the place a semi-abandoned feeling. It seems like the story of the Poconos is pretty well expressed in this place - it's seen better days. For us, this is a place to spend the night, use the Jacuzzi, and head out for dinner and fun stuff elsewhere - this is our base camp, and not much more!

The owners are perfectly nice and helpful, and waived the $10 fireplace fee when we were there last.

“"Run don't walk away from this place!"”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 December 2011

After seeing how horribly rundown the grounds and buildings were we asked to see our room. The room smelled very moldy/musty. The bathroom was gross and the carpet disgusting. We had reservations for 1 night but left immediately. My in-laws room smelled worse but they still changed in their room for the wedding we were attending and had to kill 4 wasps before departing. Please listen to other reviewers and don't waste your money!

“Be Careful”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2011

person found this review helpful

Lodge in Name only. More like a motel. Stayed in Mountainview suite and room was perfectly clean with a lot of room, just like the pictures. However, pool looked nice, but was closed. Grounds needed much attention, piant, overgrown areas, encountered garbage pile in the woods. You would figure a Lodge would have a Lodge. Yes but it was closed.
Probably should drop the prices $30 for each category and just call it a motel and they would probably do better than the 5 rooms they had rented for a beautiful fall holiday weekend.

Room Tip: All rooms were clean and good size

“Stay Away”

Tried to stay in one of the cottages....everything was covered in MOLD. The smell made my wife and I physically ill. The couch and bed were also damp and our clothes got wet from sitting on them.

“Never book this place!!!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 September 2011

people found this review helpful

I booked this place for my boyfriend and I. We arrived at the place and it was so horrible we didn't even get out of the car! It was sketchy, dirty and absolutely run down. Just looking at how run down and unkept everything was from the outside we knew we couldn't stay there. The so called "cottages" were run down and dirty, the supposedly plush greenery was a joke. The grounds were dirty with leaves, branches and garbage all around, definitely no green grass anywhere around. The glass-enclosed indoor swimming pool was dingy and surrounded by chairs and tables that were strewn all around. Since we didn't actually stay, I can't say what the rooms would look like but I can just imagine! The outside alone is a nightmare. I can't stress enough how bad this place was. Don't bother booking it under any circumstances. I would hate for anyone to go through the same disappointment as I did and drive all the way there and have to replan their trip because of this place's false advertising. Don't waste your money on such a bad place!
