Why John Davis chose Thornhurst

This is our home away from home - a place to relax and unwind before returning to city.

What makes this chalet unique

The home is fully equipped, comfortable, and close enough to the attractions of the Poconos, yet secluded enough for peace and quiet.

Great Time

4 of 5
Submitted: January 30, 2013 Stayed: January 2013
Rented the Davis Chalet for 3 nights for 4 couples and we had a blast. Had to deal with a minor hot water issue the first night but nothing major. The place was clean with ample space for all of us. The house doesn't have cable TV but that was not an issue as we weren't on vacation to watch TV. We took full advantage of multiple decks with the fire pit on the lower deck and the grill on the main deck. Within an hour of our arrival we had the wood stove going and the main level and loft level were both very warm. Took advantage of the location and made the short trip up to Camelback(approx. 40 min drive) for skiing/snowboarding on Friday night and paintball Saturday(even though it was maybe 12 degrees outside). If you are looking for a nice place to go with some friends, this is it. Sure a hot tub would be nice(hint hint to the owner) but all things considered we were all very happy and open to renting again next winter.

The chalet was amazing therefore I would give 5 stars +. The detailed instructions given by John were so helpful and provided great directions to the house as well as all the tips for use of the house. The property was very clean. Everything was provided from clean sheets and towels, the kitchen was very well equipped. I definitely will go back and I had recommended it already to my friends.

A Home Away From Home!

Submitted: August 25, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
I rate it 5 stars!

Date of arrival: Aug13-16

My husband & I and our in-laws rented the Chalet for 3 nights, and it just wasn't enough. The Chalet was clean, cozy & full of all the amenities one could need in a rental. A real home away from home!! The large decks around the house were absolutely relaxing, sitting and drinking a hot cup of coffee smelling the crisp air while hearing the stream run was peaceful and something we miss already. There was plenty of room, and having 2 bathrooms was a plus! On the cool nights we enjoyed building a fire outside in the fire pit and staring at the stars! The family room was perfect, we enjoyed watching movies and listening to music. There was a nice selection of board games which was entertaining & the Wi-Fi was great, since we didn't have any reception on our cell phones. The communal pool was a plus and was enjoyable, the water was a tad bit cold but we made the best of it. We walked around the community and saw the tennis & basketball courts and the grounds were well kept. John was helpful & pleasant to deal with. We are planning to visit the Davis Chalet again sometime next year, and we can't wait. This was one relaxing vacation we would never forget. Thank you John!

Thank you,

My family had a wonderful weekend at the Davis Chalet. We were emailed specific directions before our arrival, everything was in place when we arrived and we couldn't have asked for more relaxing or comfortable surroundings. The atmosphere was relaxing and inviting. We could have easily spent the entire weekend in the cabin or out on the decks listening to the stream. The location is within easy driving of both state parks in the area, camelback mountain and other attractions. I am looking forward to spending more time there in the future!
