Lake Wanoka Resort

.

Good for roughing it

Reviewed By cherrydoll

Had a pleasant stay in a cabin. The only problems we encountered are the terrible Wi-Fi (you basically have to park right in front of KC Pepper to get any service and even then it's slow and unreliable) and the mattresses. The bunk bed mattresses are very thin and the mattress on the other bed was very firm. I did finally get to sleep but I woke up pretty sore & stiff. I don't know if I'd return because I have chronic back pain and the terrible mattresses are a deal breaker. For someone without any disabilities it might be alright. If you have back pain avoid!

My sisters and I have stayed there 4 times already this year since we have been in the area helping my mother. After a long day, it is an incredible rest for your body and soul. We fell in love with the cabins as soon as we saw them. You can't beat the value because the rate includes up to 4 people and there is plenty of room. They have a wonderful screened in porch, full kitchen, living room, bedroom. Cottages are clean and well maintained. Hiram, the owner, is extremely helpful and pleasant. Pets are allowed which is also a plus. We recommend Echo Valley Cottages to everyone we know traveling in the Stroudsburg / Bushkill area.

Camptel Poconos

Unique Getaway

Reviewed By 640shannonk

I was looking for a place to bring my boyfriend for his birthday and stumbled upon Camptel and instantly loved the idea! We stayed in the racoon tiny house and it was definitely tiny but we spent a lot of time outdoors so it was fine for us. Stephen and Caesar were both welcoming and accommodating, and the heat worked great. There is a TV with a few channels, microwave, fridge, and shower. If you are okay with few amenities and the camping vibe without having to sleep in a tent this place will definitely be for you. There is also a state park next door with a really cool waterfall. Definitely recommend a stay at Camptel!

Amazing small wedding

Reviewed By aprila966

I had a small wedding in the tavern. It was beautifully decorated and the serving staff was competent, attentive and very kind. Lisa (wedding organizer) was amazing. She helped me and my fiance from planning it, all the way up to the wedding day. She made sure my day went smoothly. I would recommend this place to get married. It was a great day and a beautiful ceremony and reception from start to finish.

Eagle Village Resort

Loved it!!!!

Reviewed By Lisjarjes

When I read all the negative reviews, I was kind of afraid to go, but we actually loved it. We were in the three bedroom unit and it was very spacious. We've been going to the Poconos for the last 6 years and this was our favorite resort so we are coming again next year. We used our fireplace every night. The unit was clean... All appliances worked. I thought it was very nice and I would definitely recommend it to anyone.
