About this property

The #1 Best Choice in the Poconos ($89 per person /per night)

  • Unfortunately we aren't taking any bookings for now due to COVID-19. We expressed this to the Homeaway customer service rep and we were still getting customers booking and then showing up when we least expect anyone. We will update this page when we see it fit to start having guests and the pandemic is behind us.
    Thank you for checking out our page on Homeaway. (we are also on AirBnB, see our reviews). As an experienced Chef, my passion to make guests happier than before I met them is always my goal. The Property has parking for 20 cars. We have two half bathrooms plus a full bathroom for guests. It was built by the famous Falcon Crest Homes Builder of the Poconos and it’s beauty is loved by people as far as Florida, Connecticut and California. It has a bar , a gym room, a movie Theater room and a games room . We are currently working on the laundry room.
    It is 5 miles or less from the Pocono Raceway in Blakeslee, the next town up. Kalahari Indoor water park is about 18 mins away and Camel Back ski/ beach is about 16 mins away . The Tannersville mall shopping outlets are about 18 mins away from the house, and we are very close to the area being built up for the Pocono Springs entertainment Complex which is said to be opening up in about two years and rumored to soon rival Disney World.
    Looking to purchase a home in the Pocono, then you choose the right place. This house is a Model home and I’ve done all your homework for you. Let me show you the best areas, what to look for, what to avoid and the best builders in the Poconos. No, I’m not a Real Estates agent, but I know a lot of them and the ones to avoid. Google “Poconos Spring Entertainment Complex’, then You will see what’s all the fuss about here in the Poconos. Did you know there are areas in the Poconos that if you purchase a home in certain communities you have to pay what’s called a HOA Fee every year? And they don’t do much for this fee you are paying? Book with us now before autonomous cars are everywhere and everyone buys up all the properties here. Come let me show you around.

    I would be your personal Chef on premises as well as your assistant to anything else you may need (bartender, etc.) the misses also loves entertaining children and also does the Housekeeping duties. Just to verify, we do live there to maintain the home.
    Our rates are $89 per person, per night (unless its more on a holiday weekend, Valentines weekend is always $125 per person per night), which all rates includes a huge breakfast and all the snacks you and your group can have... no extra charge ! We do sometimes have surprise discount prices close to an upcoming weekend, so always keep an eye on our page.
    We welcome groups up to 14 . (more than that you would have to work out the sleeping arrangements (6 bed rooms but we can squeeze in blowup beds )
    We now have an Event Space available for all your parties or events you’d like to have in the Poconos. The maximum capacity for this Hall is roughly 80 people. Call us to book for this Event space as we do get slit of inquiries for it.
    We also offer Fine Dining Dinners for couples or Groups. Usually a 3 course meal with choice of wine from our wine cellar. This can be arranged before you book and we can work out the choices of menus and prices.
    Celebrating a special occasion ? Party over here !! We do parties right, Buffet or sit down dinners, or just.... "Get something and wave!"

What an amazing birthday !!!

As always I try to come up with a fun activity for my birthday to share with my friends. I thought about how much fun it could be to go up to the Pococnos and go Snow Tubing with our friends. We arrived on Friday and Shaine was there to welcome my family and I. He helped us get the rooms set up and showed us the lay of the land. The house was beautiful. Most of our friends showed up on Friday evening and we went night tubing at camel Back Resort. When we returned, Shaine had prepared a pot of chicken soup for us! He prepared breakfast for us both days that we were there. The house was very clean and everything that we had discussed or I read on the website about the property was accurate. We have decided to make this a annual winter trip !! I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a top line rental !!

HOST AND HOME ARE AMAZING!

A group of 6 Women stayed on the property for a Womens Weekend and from beginning to end... Shaine was so attentive, hard working, easy to talk to, and his breakfast was SUPER DELICIOUS! 1st night we also went to his restaurant to support him and that Jamaican food was SUPERB! He does live in the house but his kind spirit and friendly demeanor makes him seem like part of the group! The snacks and frig full of drinks on the house was a big hit with us! Beds were comfortable. 5 bedrooms with plenty of space and storage/closet space. Just one shared bathroom with a shower so if a large group just figure out a shower schedule (we were 6 women so you know how that is lol) but 2 great half baths downstairs. Close to many restaurants, stores, and attractions. We can not wait until MAY to go back! And we have referred about 15 people to go stay as well because honestly we had such a wonderful experience! THANK YOU SHAINE for opening your home and making us feel like FAMILY!

Excellent!

The hosts are so kind and generous. The house is clean and lovely. The Jamaican breakfast was a mouthful of flavor in every bite. Tried new food today - you can tell that Shaine is passionate about cooking. So welcoming and thoughtful from the fresh mint tea to the Jamaican sausage. Thanks so much!

Property was amazing. Shane has great communication skills as an owner. I had a intimate group of 12 people and he catered to us all. The food was amazing and he had snacks galore.

Fabulous Family Weekend

My sister and I were searching for a place to celebrate my moms birthday this year. We’ve rented houses in the Poconos before to celebrate, but this time we were looking for something a bit different. We saw this house and instantly contacted the homeowner. Shaine was an absolute pleasure to work with. Once I told him our idea for surprising mom with the family weekend away, he spun into action. He loved our idea and vowed to make it special. My sister and I decided to add a catered dinner to the weekend and it was remarkable. He made some tweaks to the menu to accommodate the small children traveling with us and even added a special dessert when he heard my mom mention her favorite cake. He also heard my aunt mention her sauce preference and made her meal special as well. It was those type of personal touches that made a difference. My family loves event planning and we recognized the detail Shaine provided. We didn’t ask for them, but he was committed to make everything nice. From the moment we walked into the house we were greeted with a smile and we felt comfortable and ‘at home’. We loved everything from the breakfast to the family movies in the movie room. Coming from NYC we had access to the NYC daily newspaper which was an additional nice touch. We were a party of 7 adults and 3 children divided among 4 rooms. Everyone had adequate sleeping accommodations and plenty of room. My family had such a great time we are thinking of coming back again next year. Thank you KSK for providing us with a memorable family weekend in the Poconos. If you are looking for a unique experience with a dynamic, hospitable and nice host, contact Shaine and let him show you and your group an amazing time!!!

The property was just as spectacular as the host. Shaine really know how to make you feel special!

We were greeted as soon as we pulled up to the estate with a warm welcome followed by a tour of the property. Shaine had everything set up including every detail. He went out of his way to truly make our weekend one to remember. I'll admit I was a little fearful when booking however as soon as we arrived I knew this was going to be a perfect place. We had a great night watching a movie in the movie theater and playing games. The beds are really comfortable. Shaine really went all out on the breakfast including personalized menus with all our names on them. The thoughtfulness, care and pride shows how much the owner really enjoys taking care of people. We will definitely be back. Thank you Shaine!
