Check out some of our vacation rental reviews:
*This house was absolutely perfect! We have a family of 4 with a 4 and a 6 year old. The house came fully stocked with board games, books, a ping pong table and lots of toys for endless entertainment. On the adult side, they had a bar cart with fancy glasses for cocktails, any kitchen gadget you would ever need and a TV in every bedroom. The location was close to several ski mountains. Lisa was very fast with communication and answered every question that popped up. We highly recommend and hope to be back again someday."
*We loved staying at Lisa's place for a ski trip at Jack Frost! We loved the details that went into the place, and the touches like the toys upstairs for the kids, dog blankets and treats. Very clean and such a unique stay. Lisa is very easy to communicate with! Highly recommend!"
*Super clean, terrific throwback nostalgic chalet, with all the things you need for a cozy fantastic mountain home stay in the winter! Big Boulder was super close for skiing, and there were great shops and restaurants super close by. Lisa was phenomenal in responsiveness and providing detailed instructions for both check in and check out.I highly highly recommend staying at the Happy Days Chalet!"
*We stayed in The Happy Days Chalet during the height of Fall foliage in the Poconos. We went to Jim Thorpe for the day and really loved it, but honestly wanted to get back to the house fast to enjoy as much time there as possible. The house is absolutely beautiful and the details were so well thought out when renovating and staying on theme. Lisa was extremely accommodating, responding to any questions I had almost immediately and detailing everything out for us prior to our arrival. The house was extremely clean, in a great location to get away and unwind and had so many nice attractions near by! We absolutely would love to go back! Thank you to Lisa for creating the perfect experience for guests!"
*Lisa is such an angel, a host that is one step ahead of everything. She really cares for you and the experience that you are having, she truly works for you to have the perfect trip. She always replied right away with positive attitude and being proactive about anything you need. (She even gave us suggestions about places that we must not miss in our visit to PA!)"
*My family and I loved this place, everything it’s like you see it on the pictures. All the details and decoration make you feel at home, everything is very clean and organized. We love the hot tub! It was clean and well-maintained. It was like being in heaven!
The space
Walk through the chalet here:
STEP INTO THEHAPPYDAYSCHALET:
* Upon entering through the double main doors, you'll find an open living space with a stunning wood-clad cathedral ceiling. Large windows flood the area with natural light, highlighting a cozy emerald-green sofa across from a jukebox and a charming 50s-inspired kitchen/dining space. The dilemma? Deciding where to explore first. Our motivating slogan, "Happy Days are here again!" graces the wall, embodying our commitment to ensuring your Poconos vacation is nothing short of amazing.

Immerse yourself in a retro vibe with a full-sized jukebox, Bluetooth-ready for modern convenience, or bring your 45s and revel in the true vinyl sound. Lounge on the sofa or in the hanging egg chair, and enjoy your favorite tunes or catch up on streaming shows on the impressive 55-inch smart TV.

THE POWDER ROOM AND MAIN BATH:

Adjacent to the powder room lies the main bathroom with striking emerald green tiles and a spacious walk-in shower complete with a calming rain showerhead, creating that indulgent spa-like feel.

Recently renovated, this bedroom features a luxurious California King bed, a captivating wood-slat wall treatment, room-darkening shades, a 43-inch smart TV, and a cozy nook with a desk and comfortable seating. Immerse yourself in a blend of Fonzie-Cool and sophistication in this upgraded haven.

THE JOANIE LOVES CHACHI LOFT:
*Ascend the charming spiral staircase to the Joanie Loves Chachi Loft, our unique 3rd bedroom space. Enjoy fantastic views through expansive windows that open to the main living area below. The loft features two extra-long twin beds, perfect for children aged 5 and above or adults, along with a small TV for gaming or movie nights in this cozy retreat.
THE LITTLE BEAR CAVE:
*Step into the magical loft playspace known as "The Little Bear Cave," where your children's creativity will soar amidst a collection of games, toys, soft bean bag chairs, and a charming bear rug—a welcoming space for your little one's adventures.
THE HOT TUB:
*Indulge in the backyard hot tub, adorned with LED lights and a tranquil waterfall feature, offering a scenic view of the surrounding trees. As the sun sets, bask in the enchanting ambiance created by string lights draped around both the hot tub area and the front deck, casting a delightful glow for a truly magical nighttime experience.
Guest access
Cabin is not perfectly suited for infants and toddlers as the spiral staircase nor other aspects of the home are baby-proofed - we allow young children, we just want you to understand the risks.
Guests are required (by the community) to read and sign the Towamensing Trails Rules of Conduct through a DocuSign agreement before being given access to the community.
Notes
Our chalet is a smoke-free home. As this is a vacation rental, there is a vacation rental standard that we must maintain so there is a cleaning company charge of $180. This could be left on the counter directly for the cleaning company and does not have to go through us.
There are only a couple items to take care of on check out day. You will not have to clean the chalet at all! That should make for a more relaxing trip!

Lisa's chalet is just wonderful! We had a very relaxing stay surrounded by nature, animals and peace. The chalet is well equipped and even had a few board games which we enjoyed playing with our kids. -
Thank you Caroline! It truly is a very peaceful special place. We are so glad you and your family were able to enjoy the chalet and its lovely surroundings. You are wonderful guests and welcome back anytime.

Lisa’s home is a lovingly styled Pocono vacation home with an 1950s theme. Immaculately clean and comfortable. The area is very quiet. We visited the area to visit some elderly relatives that live nearby and the location was perfect for us. Communication with Lisa was easy. I look forward to hosting Lisa in the future. -
We enjoyed hosting you Rene! Thank you for making our first exchange a seamless one. Happy traveling!

My husband Ben and I love adventure and exploring new places. We are non-smokers and very respectful of every home. We have traveled for years using Airbnb and understand how to create the perfect place for our guests. We also know how important it is to be great guests.
We have two homes to offer for exchange. One is a cabin in the Pocono Mountains and may only be available for last minute or shoulder seasons as it is a vacation rental. But feel free to msg us about it.
Our primary home is in Bel Air Maryland and if you are interested in that home just message us to discuss timing etc. We can always stay with our kids if the exchange is right (that is why the calendars are not used in either home) There can be flexibility based on the exchange.
Hiking, jungles, mountains, waterfalls and other nature-centered locations are what we enjoy most. We are not excited about cities as much. My husband and I may travel just the two of us or may also bring along 2 or 4 of our adult children depending on the location, accommodations, and time of year.
Please feel free to contact us about any type of exchange as we have already done a couple exchanges and are obsessed with this type of travel and exploring new places!
