Cozy Spring Break Getaway
My family of 5 (including 3 children under 6) thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this immaculate home. We found the home to be both clean and crisp while simultaneously cozy and having all the comforts of home. We were unlucky with weather, but we’re still able to get out a bit to enjoy local hiking and waterfalls. The owner was extremely helpful in regards to recommending things to do from the point of booking until the week of,when she was able to recommend some indoor activities. ❤️ My kids had an absolute blast. We sat by the fire, played games, scootered in the huge garage space, baked cookies, set up an indoor tent, hiked, and most importantly slowed down. It was exactly what we needed and the home/amazing view was the most perfect backdrop for it. We would love to come back as I’m sure it would be perfection any time of the year. This home has everything you need and felt like a luxurious stay. There’s also Plenty of room for multiple families.Thank you!

Every bit as good as its description
This place looks pretty great in the pictures and description -- I'm happy to say this property exceeds expectations . The house is beautiful both inside and out. The great room with its fantastic lake view and fully equipped kitchen was perfect to hang out and prepare and share meals. The bedrooms were all comfortable and there were many inviting gathering areas inside and outdoors. The hosts provide equipment and passes to enjoy the lake facilities. Communication was easy and the host was helpful and attentive before and during our stay. I'd highly recommend staying at his special place/

Gorgeous lakeside home
We stayed in early January for a ski/snowtubing weekend. We got lucky with the weather as there was a storm over the weekend so there was fresh snow for skiing as well as a picturesque view. The house was fantastic. Beautiful design and extremely clean. More than spacious fitting two families of four. The owners ensured we had all the necessary information for our stay and had great amenities to use even though we didn’t have enough time to use everything as our stay was short. I would certainly book this place again especially in summer to enjoy the lake.

Absolutely Amazing
We loved this property so much. The location, the home, all of the amenities. We enjoyed sitting by the campfire in the evenings. During the day we hit all the shops and pubs in Jim Thorpe and had the best time. Will likely come back and will most definitely recommend to all friends as and family!

About the host

Hosted by Vanesa Treers

Host profile image
Hi there! My name is Vanesa Treers and my family has owned this vacation home for 2 years. We fell in love with the Poconos in 2020 during an extended pandemic-era stay and feel blessed to have found this property.

Originally from Colombia, I have also lived in the UK and now here in the US for the past 12 years. I live in Brooklyn with my husband, our two pre-teen kids and our Wheaton Terrier, Sasha.

My hobbies include skiing, yoga and decorating. I am passionate about women’s rights and I am a United Nations representative for a large charity. I speak English and Spanish and look forward to welcoming you to stay.

Why they chose this property

We enjoy home improvement and ensuring that the property is always in the best possible condition for guests. We rent the house about half the time and our family uses it ourselves for the remainder of the time. So the house is not a full-time investment property, and hopefully you will notice the difference in terms of the quality of furnishing and attention to detail.

It’s great that other families get to enjoy the house when we aren’t able to use it ourselves. Being a Vrbo host has helped us to fund various improvements to the house, such as the new private sandy beach and hardscaping.

What makes this property unique

We searched high and low for this property in the Poconos, where modern newbuild lakefront properties are rare. The huge range of family activities and relaxed, friendly vibe of the community made us sure we'd found the right place. We haven't seen any bears yet in Bear Creek but we are keeping our eyes peeled!

My husband Jon helps me to manage the property. During your stay we will assume that you prefer privacy, but will be easy to reach though the Vrbo app. We live in Brooklyn but are up at the house frequently to ensure it is in the best possible condition for guests. Most things that arise can be dealt with remotely, but we have a local handyman who can assist with any other issues.

We know the local area well are very happy to offer advice about activities for your family – don’t hesitate to reach out with questions!
