The house was perfect for our stay - a bit dated but had plenty of room and was in a great location. The major downside is that it was advertised as having full access to all of the amenities at the Lodge, which turned out not to be the case. We were told by the Concierge at the Lodge that renters of the house are not allowed to use facilities such as the pool and the Adventure Center, etc. This should definitely be made clear to potential renters! Had we known we might have rented elsewhere.

Great location. old home but it was clean. kitchen needs updating especially utensils. could use a Keurig. bracelets give access to some hotel amenities but not all hotel amenities according to the hotel which meant we couldn't make reservations for some activities that we wanted to do. manager was easy to contact when we had a few issues.

The house was very cozy and close to the lodge. It is a little dated but it had a rustic mountain feel, The stone fireplace was amazing! There was wood but it had been outside in the snow and wouldn't light but there was a store close by enere we could buy some. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and ports and pans. The host was most helpful and quickly answered any questions we had.

Great experience for our group
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.

Spacious Cottage, Short walk from Skytop Lodge
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!

Wonderful Home for Family Reunion
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 value; short walk to Skytop Lodge
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!

Family Fun and Beauty At Skytop!
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! (-;

Great stay for Skytop Lodge events
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.

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.

Easily accommodated 4 branches of the family and each had the their own bathroom. It was negative 3 degrees the first morning but the stone fireplace kept us cozy and plenty of firewood was provided. The "mold" others had mentioned in reviews was not observed. 3 hepa air filter machines were available but weren't necessary. The proximity to the main Lodge is fantastic. The facilities and activities at the Lodge are outstanding. We had to leave a day early and Alex graciously gave us a credit for one night to use in the future, which the family can't wait to use next year!

Location and communication great!
As many other reviews have already said, the cabin is perfectly situated next to Skytop lodge and you have access to all of the amenities of the lodge including the lake, pool, golf course and lodge itself. The cabin is huge and all of the bedding, bathroom and kitchen were clean and functional. Fireplace was nice when the temperature dropped at night. Communication with the owner was swift when we had questions. As other reviews have said the cabin does have a strong moldy smell in some rooms, which can be problematic if you have a lot of allergies like I do, but generally speaking it is not unexpected for a cabin in the woods.

Family Reunion
My extended family has been coming to the Skytop Resort since the 1940s. This was the first time we stayed off property, and it was a very pleasant experience. We were a group of 13, including three generations, and having the use of an entire house made this a great trip. We loved all being together instead of in separate hotel rooms. The house is old (as disclosed in the description) but the location was an easy walk to the Lodge, the house was very well stocked with kitchen essentials, and the beds were mostly comfortable. The twin beds could stand to be replaced as they were the least comfortable. The house itself could use a fresh coat of paint and some updating, but it was charming, comfortable and spacious. The hosts were communicative, and responded to issues promptly. We will definitely rent this property again.
