Beautiful New Pocono Chalet! Wait to see this one!

Our family spent 4 beautiful days at the Weist Chalet and a wonderful time was had by all. The description of the Chalet was very accurate. The cleanliness and amenities exceeded our expectations. The welcoming basket was an added plus. My grandchildren couldn't wait to open the snacks. On the day of our arrival we had about 8 inches of snow which added to the beauty and serenity of the chalet. Also, on arrival there were about four deer in the back of the house which excited all of us. We had a few questions before our arrival and Jean was most helpful in answering them. She was most pleasant in all of our dealings with her. The pool room was a special place for our teenage grandchildren to hang out. They loved playing pool and listening to their music. And, of course, I must mention the hot tub. On the evening of the snowfall, our four grandaughters couldn't wait to get into the hot tub and of course make some snow angels upon getting out. At some point during our stay we all spent some enjoyable time in the hot tub. There were so many things to do in the area.....a few of us went skiing, some went snow tubing. We did a sleigh ride and everyone went horseback riding. My son in law enjoyed lighting a fire in the outside firepit and of course we toasted marshmallows. We hated leaving, but of course, all good things must come to an end. We're all looking forward to returning to the Weist Chalet in the future.

This was our first time renting through vrbo.com. Right from the first email exchange with Jean, we were impressed. We emailed her many times through the end of 2010 as we prepared for our August 2011 vacation and Jean never failed to provide a timely, thoughtful response that made us even more excited for our adventure. Less than a week before our trip, Hurricane Irene began to march up the coast. Jean was understanding and compassionate and we worked together with her and tweaked our plans to ensure safety (of course!) and maximize our chances for a wonderful experience. Jean and her sister, Jane, made sure that we were comfortable (it was cooler than we expected) and answered our questions promptly via email and/or phone. Jane even came to help us with the gas fireplace when we had a little trouble getting it started. The home is exactly as pictured in the listing. There was plenty of room for our children to run around both in and outside. The Arrowhead Lake beaches and pools are very nice and were not at all crowded when we were there, in fact, at times we were the only people there (Hurricane Irene may have contributed to this and the fact that the PA kids are already back in school that last week of August). We enjoyed seeing deer and wild turkey, taking the golf cart for rides, the hot tub and the fire pit and porch swing. We primarily used the top two levels of the house (the first level was a little damp most likely due to the storm), however we spent some time on the first level at the awesome pool table where all three kids had a ball. We found that the Island Pool was the place to be (a short drive) and one day took a rowboat out onto the lake and had an amazing time. The kids loved the water features at the pool such as the water jets and the mushroom waterfall. The "zero entry" pool made it easy for our youngest child to safely splash around. We ventured out two nights to the local mini-golf/arcade and enjoyed delicious ice cream. We were very happy to have brought a weeks worth of food with us and Jean's kitchen is fully outfitted for family cooking. The kids especially liked sitting at the high table sipping milk from their cereal bowl with built in straw! We also used the high table for doing a 300 piece puzzle that we puzzle glued and gave to Jean, Dan & Jane. It is a lake scene that we named, "Relaxing at the Chalet." Thank you to everyone for making our trip to the Poconos fun and relaxing.

We had a great time renting this chalet. The place is exactly as the pictures show on the web site. Jean, Dan, and Jane were very welcoming and accomadating. The place was very spacious and comfortable. The porch swing was great. We enjoyed both the hot tub and the pool table. Jean had everything ready for us when we arrived...very fast check in. The temperature was very comfortable in the whole house. We even set up a net on the side of the house and played volley ball and some other fun games. We went to the lake and rafted and kayaked. We blew in with a tornado watch and left with the sun. My brother even commented he would rent this home again, so I would definitely recommend this place to my friends and family. We went to camelbeach water park and we went to Jubilee restaurant. The food was very delicious. We really enjoyed ourselves.
