It's in the details... so much character!

We choose to stay here because it seemed just from the pictures, that it had character and would provide a more unique stay for us. It was in the perfect location for our trip. We loved it! The décor and bedding were top notch. We had everything we needed, plus there were so many extras for our little boston terrier. We spent a lot of time checking all around the area – taking a boat tour of Lake Wallenpaupack, and short hikes to Shohola Falls and Raymondskill Falls, and our pup loved the Shuman Hill Hiking Trail (this one was pet-friendly.) Two highlights were our amazing Italian dinner at The Ridge in Hawley, and the Jam Bar Brewing Company in Greentown (great beer, food, and music acts). Although it looked lovely, we just ran out of time to enjoy the fire pit at the chalet. I can’t say enough about Haifa, the host. Her attention to details in every space elevated the experience. She was incredibly responsive and helpful from the moment we booked our stay.
