About Owner

Our family lives on busy Long Island which affords us wonderful waterfront and beaches. We have extended family in PA and wanted our own piece of paradise nearby so we ventured out about 10 years ago and bought this warm, charming, country home. It was love at first sight!

Owner purchased this chateau / country house in 2003
Why Owner chose Jim Thorpe

When looking for a vacation rental I wanted something my own family would enjoy too. I wanted a country feel in the woods to get us away from our hectic lives. This home is 10 miles off Route 80 at Exit 284. It's just 110 miles from NYC. It was in the perfect location. Extremely private, easy to get to, only a few hours drive and plenty of things to do in the surrounding area. I hope your family loves this home as much as mine does.

What makes this chateau / country house unique

The family room is my paradise. There are 15 floor to ceiling windows for a panoramic view of the woods. This is where you'll see wild life grazing or just passing through. You'll see for yourself if you join us!

wonderful secluded hideaway

Dear Catherine - thank you so much for opening your adorable cabin up to us. We had the best pocono weekend! The house was minutes from paintballing, and it was the perfect place to kick back and relax after a long day. The fire pit was by far our favorite, but the cabin had everything else we needed to feel comfortable. We really appreciate your flexibility, especially when it came to check in times despite the short nature of our stay. We' can't wait to come back!

Amazing House and Owner

5 of 5
Submitted: March 23, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
What a week! This house was amazing, Spacious, immaculate, and located centrally to so many great shops and restaurants in the area. Catherine was an ever so helpful owner. She went to the trouble of sending me e-mail links prior to our arrival for various activities that we enjoyed. She even went to the trouble to let us know who was playing at Penns Peak which we attended and it was an great venue to see a concert. The pictures of this house do not truly do it justice. The kitchen was fully stocked, there were board games available, movies, ample tv throughout the house, and an excellent fireplace which we used a lot. (About 8 inches of snow during our week, but came home from lunch and the driveway was plowed, it doesn't get done that quick at home.) Cathy has thought of everything that anyone would need and makes sure you have it. From firewood, to her helpful welcome book she covers all bases. She is also in touch to make sure you arrive and depart safely. She was always available through the week when we had questions. We can't wait to go back and would recommend this house to everyone. I have never had a more enjoyable stress free vacation. Looking forward to booking when it is a little warmer to do some more outdoor activities. Cathy you really made us feel at home. Thank You

Enjoyable late fall visit

4 of 5
Submitted: November 17, 2012 Stayed: November 2012
My wife and I along with our two Golden Retrievers had a grand time at Pensi Place. The house was comfortable, quite spacious, and well equiped to accomodate both a relaxing time and some working time. We enjoyed exploring the woods and swimming in the stream behind the house (just the dogs did the swimming!). The house was a good jumping off point to visit Jim Thorpe as well as the Lehigh Gorge State Park. So if you are looking for nice get-away that is easy to reach off the NE Extension of the PA Turnpike in the Poconos, I would recommend this rental house.
