FAQ:
Q: How can you keep nightly rates lower compared to many similar size properties in the area? A: We are not an investment property which enables us to provide our guests with amazing value (property size, location and all amenities that we offer) at a very modest price point. That would simply be impossible if we were to obtain such a property for business only.
Q: There are no cleaning charges posted in the profile. Do you clean the property yourself? Or Do you incorporate cleaning fees into your nightly rates? A: Absolutely not to both:) We use our longtime housekeepers on a weekly basis regardless whether we host or not. As for ‘incorporating cleaning fees into our rates’ - that is simply impossible as we are using Smart Pricing software. Smart Pricing figures rates for our property by taking into account availability of rental homes in the area. Nothing else comes into play! Our nightly rates are actually very modest compared to other homes of equal value. Q: What do you suggest guests bring with them when they arrive? A: Unlike investment properties and many other homes, our house is fully stocked. Kitchen, bathrooms, wet bar area and living spaces aren’t lacking amenities. You will find great variety of pillows, comforters, blankets, throws too. Q: There are no ‘Extra Guests’ charges posted in the profile. Do you care how many guests stay at the house? A: We complete HOA registration form for every group and only allow registered guests on premises. However we don’t believe that there should be additional charges for a larger group of guests or bigger family. That is simply nonsense!
Q: Are pets allowed? And is there a per night pet fee? A: We only host fully grown crate trained dogs ages 3+. In loving memory of our beloved King Charles we have removed pet fees. Dogs stay FREE (valid though 05/12/2026)
Q: How many vehicles can your parking lot accommodate? A: Our parking area is quite large. According to permits issued by Kidder Township the number of parking spaces is limited to seven (7) vehicles. Q: Is there an additional fee for private yoga classes? A: YES! We partner with a certified Yoga Teacher who can be booked in advance. Our guests receive special rates for yoga and meditation classes. Depending on the weather and group size classes can be conducted in our garden, on the beach or at the house. PRIVATE YOGA CLASSES Your choice (or a mix) of hatha, vinyasa, or kundalini yoga in the privacy of your vacation rental or lakeside when weather permits. PRIVATE MEDITATION & BREATHWORK SESSIONS Enjoy a mix of techniques to reduce stress and anxiety, increase heart-brain coherence, improve sleep, and add a peaceful, loving experience to your vacation stay. Q: SuperHost and Premier Host badges are posted to your profile. Have you been hosting for a long time? A: We have been hosting way before VRBO has been around. We have guests that visit us every year for many years. We also have established relationships with number of modeling companies that use our property for commercial photography. Throughout years of hosting we welcomed so many amazing families, bachelors and bachelorettes, artists, singers, photographers, actors, writers and even a few celebrities. But most importantly, throughout our years of hosting we haven’t had a single unhappy group of guests. - Note for our WINTER guests: We are only few miles from Jack Frost Big Boulder Ski Resorts and Tubing.
Note for our SUMMER guests: We are right next to a white sandy beach, 2 lakes and childrens playground.
For SPRING_SUMMER_FALL guests: Grassy baseball field, volleyball court and small basketball court are all located right near the beach. Swim, sunbathe, enjoy a picnic at the beach or try to catch a fish!

An amazing getaway property! We hosted a Bachelorette party and it was so fun, comfortable, and relaxing for everyone who stayed. Hosts are amazingly kind and communicative. House is well stocked, comfortable, and super cozy. I'll definitely be booking this property again in the future.
Place was amazing, exactly as advertised, was perfect for a fun weekend away with some good friends. The property is really well kept and had everything we needed, would definitely recommend!
We were a group of 6 adults and 7 children, we had a lot of fun even though it was very cold outside we couldn't get enough of the indoor options and the hot-tub! kids love playing around and making smores at the firepit.
Fantastic family event with a good time had by all. We enjoyed the lovely, spacious home with all of the amenities. The outside grounds were very well manicured - the hot tub and fire pit were a plus. Kids really enjoyed the beach area. Easy to navigate the water with the beach devices provided. Would absolutely recommend for a relaxing get-away. Masha is an excellent hostess who is very attentive to your requests.
Let me just say, if you are on the fence about renting this property, stop thinking and just book it! My girlfriend and I and a group of 8 other people stayed here for a birthday weekend getaway and it was everything and more we wanted! Masha the host was the most accommodating host I have dealt with and everything was perfect! From the pool table, to the hot tub, to the fire pit, everything was so cozy and we all had such a good time! The kitchen was stocked with all the appliances we needed and the bedrooms had all the linens needed as well. We went mid December and can not wait to come back in the summer! 5 out of 5 stars!
My family had the best time at this beautiful home. Total winter wonderland! Masha and Leon were so hospitable. My family felt welcomed from the booking until the day we left. It was our family reunion that will be in our memories forever. We have already spoken about doing it again in spring or summer.. This is a vacation spot that all will enjoy! From youngest to oldest
We had a birthday celebration weekend with a bunch of friends, and everyone had the best time here. It's a warm, welcoming space with a great kitchen for cooking for a group. Also the folks managing the place are amazing communicators and super accommodating!
The hosts were helpful and communicative. Our group had a great time and the property and house was stocked for us. No complaints and strongly recommend!
The perfect place for a weekend away with a group of friends. We golfed at nearby Jack Frost National, and the proximity could not have been better. The property itself is beautiful and stands out among the other houses in the neighborhood. There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for our larger group. We will be back!
My friends and I had a great long weekend in the Poconos. The house was large and spacious, with a lot of options for activities. The house could have been a bit cleaner, but the overall experience was good.
We rented this home for a long awaited family reunion. It was perfect! Spacious yet so cozy. Incredibly well stocked. . Super helpful hosts . Down the block from a lovely beach park and down the road from Jack Frost Mountain . We hope to return . Totally recommend.
Pocono's Most Luxurious Hot Tub; Amazing Winter'23 Experience
The homeowner, Masha, did above & beyond for myself and friends to make our stay more than excellent this winter. The amenities provided at her home, emails received with local food places, and things to do, along with the beautiful lake and park around the block were absolutely outstanding. There are simply not enough words to say on how amazing this experience was and how YOU NEED TO JUST BOOK! Trust me. Stop looking, and book. Clean house, linens, provides toiletries, amazing amenities to use, updated appliances, forgot a toothbrush? No worries! She has everything ready for you!! More than you think a hotel would even have. I even brought my own coffee machine because I didn't know what to expect, but didn't need it - she had THREE options for making coffee in the morning!!!! THANK YOU MASHA!! Looking forward to our next stay!

Very nice stay. Nice and simple and they were so kind to leave a bottle of wine for us when we got there.
This house was exactly what we were looking for. It is located on a quiet street, had an abundant of beds/bed rooms, and more than enough space for almost a dozen people to not feel cramped. The house, especially the bathrooms were clean, and filled with fresh/never opened knick knacks that friends may have forgotten to bring. Our hosts were readily available to answer any questions we had leading up to, or during our stay. One piece of advice to guests. We were always able to get an Uber where we were going, but wait times can be long, prepare for such in advance!! Thank you!
I rented this house for my sisters bachelorette weekend. This ended up being the perfect house for a large group of girls. The house is gorgeous and spacious with so much to do. The hosts are quick to respond with any questions and are extremely helpful. They supply you with everything you need at the house. The private lake was amazing and we enjoyed using the paddle boat to cruise around the lake. I highly recommend staying here. My whole group had a blast.
The property is exactly as advertised (it lives up to the gorgeous photos!). It is well-maintained, full of amenities and entertainments, and perfectly suited for a reunion of friends, bachelor party, or other get together. The thing that truly sets this property apart, however, is the attentiveness and responsiveness of the host. Masha is wonderful and goes out of her way to make every phase of the rental process run smoothly. Check-in and check-out were easy, with flexible arrival and departure times to meet the group's needs. Masha thoroughly inspected the property before the group's arrival to make sure that everything was ready for the visit, leaving a gift for the guest of honor and offering courtesy firewood for the fire pit. Later, she even found a wallet that one guest had lost outside the property and mailed it back free of charge. I cannot recommend this property enough. 5 stars!
Oneof the BEST houses in Poconos! Property that feels like your private mini resort - 10/10!
This was the second time my group and I booked Masha’s home because we enjoyed it so much the first time. Black Bear House was one of, if not the best VRBO experiences I have ever had.
The place is absolutely stunning. The pictures look great, but it doesn't do justice compared to in person!
The interior is beautiful with high ceilings and our group really appreciated the large open area for everyone to hang out.
The layout is perfect and we loved the room set up and appreciated the linens and amenities provided!
Oversized wrap around deck with many seating areas.
Outdoor area is simply amazing: HUGE lawn that we utilized as our cricket field and our croquet field and our soccer field etc.
Almost forgot the best part - we were allowed to put a TENT for our teens to sleep at.
The fire pit is a great spot to sit and relax at night or really any time!
The instructions were simple yet detailed.
Every question we had along the way Masha was quick to respond and was always a pleasure to speak with.
The location is also close to several hiking spots that we enjoyed!
We couldn't have asked for a better location, we had privacy but was also convenient if we needed to go to the store. Overall a great experience. 10/10! Would definitely book again!
Without a doubt one of the BEST houses I have ever stayed at! Highly recommend!!
This place is AMAZING! Honestly it is even bigger than it looks on the photos (HUGE deck & HUGE resort-like grounds included). The living room is massive. There are really big windows too so it fills with the natural light during the day and you can see the stars/moon at night. I had a surprise birthday gathering for my girlfriend and our close friends and everyone was raving how awesome the place was. Masha was a great host and was quick to answer any questions we had. The property is on a main road so it is accessible and super easy to find but it still feel very secluded because its surrounded by trees. Lots of PRIVACY. Very FUN property to stay at! This was the best Pocono trip our friends have had!
