The property is amazing, it is a very charming cabin, and it is well stocked with essential items. The setting is very nice, and the location is fairly close to a lot of things to see and do. CJ is very nice to work with, he communicates frequently and timely and checks in to see how things are going. The only slight hiccup we had was CJ offered us the day before our stay at a discount since it was open and we gladly took it and went up after work. When we got there the person at check in didn't have the update which was an issue on their end, and it took a bit to sort out. Other than that, everything was great. I would highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a charming cabin to stay at.

The Pause That Refreshes
We absolutely loved our stay at the Bear Pause Retreat. Great communication - we were the first people staying after the summer and when we needed heat, we got it fixed fast. Loved the porch, the swing, the outdoor furnishings. And inside, the house is absolutely stunning. A definite winner. Gave us a taste for the Poconos.

Beautifully decorated and VERY clean log cabin. Bear Pause Retreat had everything our family needed including plenty of fresh towels and clean linens. The Hideout Community has a lot to offer if you love the outdoors as much as we do. Host was a pleasure to deal with. We stayed for a week and would definitely go back!

A great family vacation
We enjoyed our stay at Bear Pause Retreat. Plenty of room for our family of 5. Everything was clean and comfortable- linens and towels were included which made packing easier. The Hideout amenities were great for our boys. We swam at the lake beach, played tennis and mini-golf. Even lucked out and caught the fireworks on the lake on the day we arrived. We cooked in the kitchen and went to a couple of the local restaurants. Also visited the nearby zoo and family fun park. Owner was very responsive to communication. A relaxing vacation!

Security at the entrance was challenging, however, as a single woman, I felt safe because of it. Cabin is Beautiful & Immaculate. Needed more time to become more familiar with the area. The girls (friends since 1st grade) both want to return. I'll be planning our next trip soon & so will my buddies who want to return with their families. Thank you Charles !

Amazing Stay! Perfect Cabin!
My husband and I decided to rent the cabin for a few days to celebrate our anniversary. The pictures do not do it justice! It is so cozy and comfortable! I loved the way it was decorated as well. Just what I was imagining when I was looking for a cozy cabin retreat. There are some really good restaurants nearby as well. We got lucky and it happened to snow one night, with big, thick snowflakes and everything seemed so picturesque. Charles is a great house manager. Super helpful and communicative. Great amenities as well! Loved the stay! Was absolutely magical. Can’t wait to do it again!
