Fire Pit & Hot Tub: Poconos Family Cabin!

Reviews

• Best experience ever

  5/5

  I could write a book about this place but to sum it up, SPECTACULAR! It is by far the best place my friends and family have ever locked in. We had 12 guests (the maximum allowed) and we had 5 visitors one day. They did not stay because we wanted to follow the house rules but oh boy was there plenty of room for them. The hot tub is new and amazing and clean. The staff is great to deal with. My friend knows the owner and put us onto this place and I think we will be back every single year. My kids cannot wait to return to Emerald Lodge. It truly is a place you have to visit. The kitchen was set up to perfection with all new pots and pans the grill was great. The game room amazing. We went to the lake it was top notch. My only regret was not staying more days we ran out of time to do it all. Anyway I recommend this to anyone. Family. Friends. Travelers. It’s a hidden gem!

  Hi Archie. So glad Brett referred you guys to Emerald Cabin! Thank you for all the kind words. Glad you enjoyed the new hot tub and so glad you loved the kitchen. We change out pots and pans and all cookware a couple times a year to keep everything fresh and ready for the new guests. The game room is a fun place to hang out and we love how it opens up to the main area. My family has spent countless hours in the game room playing foosball, pinball and darts and more! Hopefully you all enjoyed the horseshoe court. That’s always a fan fave! We sincerely hope to have you guys back again each and every year. Thank you

• Just like home

  5/5

  Stayed here with 3 families (5 adults and 5 kids) and we enjoyed it SO much! The space is so comfortable and welcoming. The basement (ground floor) is an incredible space for kids to have their own place to hang. The house comes with a lot of stuff. We were even able to set up a fancier dinner party with all the matching bowls and dishes and nice copper mugs and cups.

  The bedrooms were spacious, and each had its own closet. Plenty of blankets to go around.

  Note there are 2 queens, 3 fulls, and 5 twins. We rented our linens and it was so easy. Kitchen is great. Lots of pots and pans.

  Hot tub and fire pit deck are so fun for everyone. Such a cool space. And the horseshoe set up is amazing as well.

  The wrap-around deck is the best place to hang and have your morning coffee. So many nice touches in this house.

  The only note is that the mattresses are very firm, and the pillows aren't the greatest, but we brought our own.

  The neighborhood is quiet and great for a 3-mile loop walk. Lake and beach are less than 10 mins away and quiet and beautiful. Make sure you get activity badges to use those.

  The owner is SO helpful and quick to respond. Highly recommend this place!

  From the Owner: "Hello Stephanie! Great to hear from you!! Thank you so much for leaving such a kind and detailed review. We really appreciate it when a guest shares their experience for future potential guests to read.
  Emerald Cabin truly is a unique place with an amazing location—it offers families a private retreat in the mountains, yet it's so close to all the major Pocono attractions. We’re so glad you got to enjoy the lake beach—it really is wonderful! Hopefully, you also had a chance to hit the trails. If not, we hope you come back soon!
  We take pride in making sure everyone’s experience is a great one, which is why we’ve partnered with Pocono Linens—they do a fantastic job with supply and quality. We also ensure the hot tub is cleaned and balanced after every single guest, and for longer stays, even during the visit if needed!
  Thanks again for all the kind words, and thank you for trusting us with your family gathering. Please come back soon!"

• Best Cabin Experience

  5/5

  We made this reservation a while back and everyone was so excited for our stay. The communication with vinny from start to finish was perfect. He sent us a welcome packet with great description to help us prepare for the stay. The cabin was spotless! The place smells amazing! The beds and rooms were cozy and so comfortable. We celebrated several events there including an engagement and an anniversary. Everyone had the best time ever and we look forward to returning to the cabin in the very near future. The only thing i would suggest to anyone is to book ahead! the place is super desirable therefor leaving most days unavailable. Its almost always booked 3-4 months out from what we see on the calendar. Once youre there its the best experience ever.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Jillian. Thank you so much for your review and your kind words. The entire staff at Emerald Cabin works very hard to make sure it’s the perfect place for every guest when they arrive. So glad you were able to celebrate such memorable events at the cabin. Glad everything went well with that. Please come back again soon. While it is usually booked months out there sometimes weekdays available so check those out. We suggest coming back in the fall or winter one day. It’s amazing! The location gets you to all major slopes in a short drive. Take care and thank you for trusting us!

• Perfection On the Lakes

  5/5

  Overall this cabin NEVER disappoints. It has everything you could ever want. It’s secluded and just a quick bike ride or drive to the lakes. Which are amazing. I’ve been here 3 times now and each time has gotten better and better. Vinnie is the best host ever. He always make sure that my family has an ideal stay and he is so accommodating and friendly. The property is always found in perfect condition. It’s a mini vacation that we look forward to now every year. You have to see it to believe it. It’s everything you would hope for in a log home. We already booked our fourth trip for early 2026!

  Manager's Response:

  From the owner: "Hey again! It feels great when we are replying to our guests' 3rd stay at Emerald Cabin. Makes the team feel like we are doing many things right! So glad you all came back to enjoy the cabin again, and we do see that you have it booked once more for 2026. That is absolutely amazing, and we are so grateful for your business. It’s truly guests like you and the other guests of Emerald Cabin that make this place such a spectacular and magical experience. Thank you for the kind words. I try super hard to be the best host that I can be, and it’s great to know people appreciate that! Looking forward to your next stay at Emerald Cabin."
